- Police Department. Yes, he's here. Hold on, sir.

- Mayor's on the line, Chief.

- Now, Chief, what's all this Miss Colbert's been tellin' me about a-a cover-up arrest?

- No, ma'am, we ain't had no cover-up. In fact, we just dropped the charges for insufficient evidence.

- Miss Colbert, I told you he was nobody's man.

- I came by to make it as clear as I possibly can that I do not want that Negro officer taken off this case.

- Negro officer?

- Yeah, well, he comes from up North, you see, and he was kinda... passin' through.

- I don't care what he is. If it wasn't for him, your impartial chief of police would still have the wrong man behind bars.

- I want that officer given a free hand.

- Otherwise... I will pack up my husband's engineers... and leave you... to yourselves.
