List of voters for the quote

Tibbs: I earned that money, ten hours a day, seven days a week. Gillespie: Colored can't earn that kind of money [a few hundred dollars], boy. Hell, that's more than I earn in a month! Now where did you earn it?! Tibbs: Philadelphia. Gillespie: Mississippi? Tibbs: Pennsylvania. Gillespie: Now just what do you do up there in little old Pennsylvania to earn that kind of money? Tibbs: I'm a police officer. [After checking Tibbs' wallet, Gillespie is silent for several moments; until now he didn't know his deputies had arrested another law enforcement officer.] Gillespie: Wood! Wood: [Enters the office] Yes, sir? Gillespie: Did you question this man before you brought him in? Wood: No, sir. Gillespie: Would you mind takin' a look at that? [Wood checks Tibbs' wallet and finds his police identification. He puts the wallet back down, looking embarrassed.] Gillespie: Yeah! Oh, YEAH! Alright, now, I'll check on this wise city boy from Philadelphia; you take 'im outside and hold 'im. Tibbs: May I suggest you call my chief rather than send a wire or anything, I mean, it would be quicker, and I'll pay for the call. Gillespie: You hear him? You hear him say he'll pay for the call? How much they pay you to do their police work? Tibbs: A hundred and sixty-two dollars, and thirty-nine cents per week. Gillespie: [Whistles] A hundred and sixty-two dollars and thirty-nine cents a week? Well, boy! Sam, you take him outside but treat him easy, because a man that makes a hundred and sixty-two dollars and thirty-nine cents a week, man, we do not want to ruffle him!
