Homicide: Life on the Street, Season 7
[The squad was making a list of hip Jews, and Sammy Davis Jr. came up, although some said he was hip just because he was black]
Falsone:
So you're saying all black people are hip?
Lewis:
Name one who ain't.
Falsone:
George Washington Carver.
Michael Giardello:
Please. How many things can a white man do with a peanut?
Munch:
Shelled or unshelled?
Falsone:
I got one. Meldrick Lewis.
Munch:
Well, he is black.
Bayliss:
Yep.
Michael Giardello:
But not particularly hip.
Bayliss:
Nope.
Lewis:
What you talkin' about Willis?
Sheppard:
Point taken. I guess Sammy Davis goes back on the list.
Lewis:
No no no, hold on, let's just stop the game right here. I can be accused of a lot of things, but falling off the cutting edge is not one of 'em. Terri- am I down or am I down?
Stivers:
What?
Lewis:
Am I hip? Tell these fools.
Stivers:
Uh, you have your moments.
Lewis:
Moments?
Stivers:
I don't know, maybe, you try too hard.
Lewis:
I'm not playin' no more.
