State Senator Sills
- State Senator Sills: Ma'am, hello. Sam Sills. It's an honor to meet you. I'm sure you've all read my record on the gun issue. Now, I'm vehemently opposed to a reduction in the welfare program. I mean, just because people are unfortunate enough to be out of work, there's no reason that they have to live like bums. We must raise the living conditions in the black community. It's - it's - it's criminal to rob little children, like this, of their right to life.
- State Senator Sills: You'll administer the redevelopment fund yourself?
- Holmes: You bet your sweet ass I will.
- State Senator Sills: And what about me? With a grant this size, I think a finders fee is in order.
- Holmes: Now, you're beginning to sound like. a man I can deal with.
- Holmes: Cool it. Cool it, Senator. You may be grandstanding, but, you're grandstanding at the only game in town. Now, I want you to go out there and tell my people that there will be a *thorough* - a *thorough* investigation. And if this one gets whitewashed, you've had it.
- State Senator Sills: You don't have to tell me my job, Reverend.
- Holmes: Come on, Senator, we got some fences to mend - some black fences, at that.
- State Senator Sills: Remember that we're only whistlin' Dixie unless I'm reelected. You'll have to bring it off.
- Holmes: Sam, my man, if there's one tune I never whistle, it's Dixie.
