Dirty Harry
Waiting for Answers in a Meeting
Mayor All right, let's have it.
Insp. Harry Callahan Have what?
Mayor Your report. What have you been doing?
Insp. Harry Callahan Oh, well for the past three quarters of an hour, I have been sitting on my ass in your outer office, waiting on you.
Lt. Al Bressler Dammit all, Harry, that's the Mayor you're talking to! ...
Mayor Won't you sit down Inspector Callahan? ... There's a madman loose, I've asked you what's being done, fair enough?
Insp. Harry Callahan We've got a dozen men checking identification files, checking on all known extortionists, roof top prowlers, rifle nuts, peepers..
Lt. Al Bressler Mr. Mayor — we've arranged for rooftop surveillance and helicopter patrols especially around the Catholic churches and schools and in the black areas.
Insp. Harry Callahan Ballistics is checking on the slug. We're pretty sure it's a .30-06, seven lands and grooves, right-hand twist ...
Lt. Al Bressler Sir — we're running a computer check on everybody in the files whose birthday falls between October 23rd and November 21st.
Mayor Why?
Insp. Harry Callahan Natives of Scorpio.
Mayor Thank you Inspector. Have any of you mentioned this note to anyone? How about you? (looking at Callahan)
Insp. Harry Callahan Nobody.
Mayor Your wife, sweetheart, ... press?
Insp. Harry Callahan Nobody.
Mayor All right. Give the message to the Chronicle. We'll agree to pay, but we'll tell him we need time to get the money together.
Insp. Harry Callahan Wait a minute. Do I get this right? You're gonna play this creep's game?
Mayor It'll get us more breathing space.
Insp. Harry Callahan It also might get somebody killed. Why don't you let me meet with the son-of-a-bitch?
Chief No, none of that. You'd end up with a real blood-bath.
Mayor I agree with the Chief. We'll do it this way, all right?
Lt. Al Bressler Thank you Mr. Mayor. Come on Callahan, let's go.
Mayor (calls out) Callahan.
Insp. Harry Callahan Sir?
Mayor I don't want any more trouble like you had last year in the Fillmore District. Understand? That's my policy.
Insp. Harry Callahan Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard; that's my policy.
Mayor Intent? How did you establish that?
Insp. Harry Callahan When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
Mayor I think he's got a point.

Unexpected Call in the Night
Dave Garver Hello?
Sgt. McCallum Garver!
Dave Garver Yeah.
Sgt. McCallum Sgt McCallum. Sorry to wake you but something has come up.
Dave Garver Yeah I know, she just paid me a visit with a butcher knife.

Dave Garver When?
Sgt. McCallum A week ago.
Dave Garver Well I sure like the way you broke your ass to let me know about it!
Sgt. McCallum I just found out about it myself.
Dave Garver Who's in charge down there anyway?
Sgt. McCallum Now look you wanna help find her or would you rather just sit there and belly-ache?
Dave Garver All right.
Sgt. McCallum Now exactly what did she say to you?
Dave Garver I told you, she said that she was well and that she was going to Hawaii.
Sgt. McCallum Uh what else?
Dave Garver I already told you.
Sgt. McCallum Well tell me again.
Dave Garver You know Sergeant, you really make lousy conversation!
Sgt. McCallum You make lousy coffee!
