The Pride of Jesse Hallam (1981 TV Movie)

Guy Boyd: Policeman

Quotes 

• Jesse Hallam : [Jesse has been pulled over for running a stop light]  I'm sorry, officer. I saw the light too late.

  Policeman : [beckoning]  Out.

  Policeman : [Jesse gets out of the truck and hands the policeman his wallet, getting it slapped from his hand]  Don't want your wallet... license only!

  Policeman : [Jesse bends down to retrieve his wallet]  You Kentucky briars come up here, you don't know how to drive, you don't know anything. Make-work... that's all you are.

  Jesse Hallam : You got no right to talk to me like that.

  Policeman : [Policeman grabs Jesse and puts his hands over the hood of the truck]  Get over there! And spread 'em!

  [he searches Jesse and finds nothing] 

  Policeman : All right, turn around. Now give me your license.

  [Jesse pulls it out and hands it over] 

  Policeman : Might've known... out of date, seven months.

  Jesse Hallam : [helplessly as the officer writes a citation]  My wife always took care of that.

  Policeman : You can see for yourself. You've been driving illegally in Ohio and Kentucky.

  [scoffs] 

  Policeman : Old man, you're not worth the jail space. That's 95 bucks for the double violation. Here, sign it... you can mail it in.

  [Jesse signs it] 

  Policeman : And don't let me catch you driving without a valid license on this side of the river again. Next time I won't be so easy on you.

  Jesse Hallam : Where do I get it? I mean, an Ohio license?

  Policeman : [snidely]  Read all about that in the driver's handbook. You can get one at the license bureau.

  [gets back in his cruiser and leaves]
