Puff
- [talking about Rice Weedon]
- Puff: You killed him.
- Virgil Tibbs: Look, let's get the record straight. He started that shoot out.
- Puff: Well, you bastard, you killed the wrong man he didn't do it!
- Virgil Tibbs: We found your fingerprints in there, Whedon.
- Rice Weedon: You can find my fingerprints all over this building.
- Puff: He's a very friendly landlord.
- Rice Weedon: Woah, Lieutenant! Always a pleasure. Now, Lieutenant Tibbs, that is Puff.
- Virgil Tibbs: Always a pleasure.
- Puff: Which is it, army, navy, or airforce?
- Virgil Tibbs: Homicide.
- Puff: Ah, do tell. But you're not fuzzy fuzz, are you?
- Puff: Have a shot of sixteen year old bourbon, $12.95 a fifth? That's the attraction here.
- Virgil Tibbs: Thanks. Soda.
- Rice Weedon: Puff is the most amusing little chick this side of the morgue.
- Puff: But I love him. He beats me.
- Virgil Tibbs: You picked the right man, Puff. He's big. He owns three fire traps over at the Potrero section and inspectors don't bother him. Nobody bothers him.
- Puff: He doesn't love you, Honey. Even with that $12.95 taste in his mouth. I wonder why.
