Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- Now, Mrs. Colbert, now, don't you worry about a thing. Believe me, we're gonna take care of everything.

- I wanna see you come through this now. You hear?

- Even if we have to step on Endicott's toes?

- All right.
