Movie: In the Heat of the Night Youtube: http://youtu.be/eqd0PE53TEY Gillespie: You know Virgil, you are among the chosen few. Tibbs: How’s that? Gillespie: Well, I think that you’re the first human being that’s ever been in here. Tibbs: You can’t be too careful man. Gillespie: You know a lot of things don’t you? Well, just what do you know about insomnia? Tibbs: Bourbon can’t cure it. Gillespie: Well, that’s for sure. Now look, I got no wife, I got no kids. I got a town …don’t want me. I got an air conditioner that I have to oil myself, I got a desk with a busted leg and on top of that I got this place. Now don’t you think that would drive a man to taking a few drinks? I’ll tell you a secret, nobody comes here. Never. You married? Tibbs: No Gillespie: Ever been? Tibbs: No Gillespie: Ever been close to it? Tibbs: Close to it. Gillespie: Don’t you get just a little lonely? Tibbs: No lonelier than you man. Gillespie: Oh now don’t get smart black boy. I don’t need it. No pity thank-you. No thank-you. Comment: Friendship isn't always about someone you grew up with or have known for 30 years. Sometimes a friend is the only person who has your back at that time. And, as this movie so fantastically shows, we also go into relationships with our prejudices and beliefs but we can overcome them to do the right thing even when everyone else is trying to stop us.
