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.
