Inspector Fallow Quotes in Darktown Strutters (1975)

Syreena: [sees the inspector in a red dress putting on black face] Pardon me.

Inspector Fallow: Hold that. Everybody uptight because of a little getup.

Syreena: It's not the getup, Inspector, but I *was* expecting a straight.

Inspector Fallow: Don't be too sure I'm not. There's a white female rapist on the loose, and she preys on black male faggots.

Syreena: Well that outfit ought to drive her crazy.

Inspector Fallow: Mm-hmm, I sure hope so.

[feminine voice]

Inspector Fallow: I certainly hope so.

Inspector Fallow: Alright, what is it you want?

Syreena: I want to know why you haven't found my mother.

Inspector Fallow: Ah! Another missing person. What's her name?

Syreena: Cinderella.

Inspector Fallow: Cinderella?

[chuckles]

Inspector Fallow: You ain't the only one looking for her. Vice wants to talk to her about illegal operations.

Syreena: She's a spy? Golly gee!

Inspector Fallow: None of that street talk on me, huh? Anyway, Missing Persons is out of its head. Several prominent black males have been reported missing in the past two weeks.

Syreena: And these 'prominent black males' are far more important than missing women?
