In the Heat of the Night - Identifying the Murderer's Handedness
Tibbs:
When I examined the deceased, it was obvious that the fatal blow was struck from an angle of seventeen degrees to the right, which makes it almost certain the person who did it was right-handed.
Gillespie:
So what?
Shagbag:
Ol Harv's left-handed, Chief. Everyone in town knows that.
Wood:
Yeah, that's what we figured out, Chief, uh-huh, Harvey's lefty.
Gillespie:
Well, you're pretty sure of yourself, ain't you, Virgil? Virgil—that's a funny name for a nigger boy that comes from Philadelphia! What do they call you up there?
Tibbs:
They call me Mr. Tibbs!
Gillespie:
Mr. Tibbs"? Well Mr. Wood, take Mr. Tibbs, take him down to the depot, and I mean boy right now!
