This film character states bourbon can't cure insomnia. This man, who first appeared in books by the nudist novelist John Ball, tells the abortionist Mama Caleba that she can "whisper two little words" and he'll be on his way. In a memorable scene, he correctly deduces that another character alters his nightly route so that he can see Dolores Purdy nude. After this man discovers a piece of fern in a car, he questions a man that compares him to an epiphytic plant. In that memorable scene, he is slapped and slaps Mr. Endicott. At the opening of the film, Leslie informs the mayor that she'll let go of her husband's engineers that are building a factory unless this man is put on the case to determine who murdered Philip Colbert. When asked what he is called up in Philadelphia, this character gives his most iconic response. For 10 points, name this detective played by Sidney Poitier in the film In the Heat of the Night, who memorably states "They call me Mr. [his name]!"
