Drew Eshelman: Man at Mailbox

Quotes 

• Man at Mailbox : [seeing Harry take apart a mailbox]  Hey, what's going on down here?

  Harry Callahan : Taking apart the mailbox, what does it look like?

  Man at Mailbox : Well you people live here, right? What the hell are you doing to the mailbox, did you lose your key?

  Harry Callahan : Why don't you mind your own goddamn business?

  Man at Mailbox : Ummm. That's my mailbox too, now. Don't you get smart with me!

  [after a moment] 

  Man at Mailbox : Tampering with the mail's a federal offense. I'm calling the police.

  [starts to head upstairs to do so] 

  Harry Callahan : I am the police.

  Man at Mailbox : [comes back down]  What?... oh. The cop who lives upstairs?

  [Harry has the mailbox open now and finds a miniature bomb inside, with a red light lit up on it. He takes it out and clicks a button causing the red light to go out] 

  Man at Mailbox : What's that?

  Harry Callahan : Plastic explosive.

  Man at Mailbox : [quavering voice]  A bomb?

  Harry Callahan : Yeah, that's right. If you'd bothered me any more, we'd all be stuck to the ceiling now. Here... would you like to hold it?

  Man at Mailbox : No no, I don't want to get involved!

  [runs upstairs]
