MEMPHIS BEAT “Ten Little Memphians” Season 2 Episode 9 – From the preview last week I have to admit that I was sort of expecting a different kind of episode tonight. They made it seem like the story would be something out of ‘Clue’ – with Dwight and Whitehead running around chasing after a bunch of suspects in a big house. Though they were stuck in a big house with a lot of suspects, it wasn’t exactly a farce and actually the case turned out to be one that (literally) hit close to home for Whitehead.
While that storyline was fine and dandy, I found the secondary one a lot more interesting. With the whole city shut down due to a major storm, Rice, Sutton, Greenback and eventually Paula Ann end up at the precinct. They have to solve a mystery that, had everything been normal, would have been as easy as pie. A few fingerprints and poof, they would’ve known exactly who their mysterious Christmas caroler was. But instead they had to come up with a lot of different ways to get to the bottom of his story. That character was totally sweet and the whole thing made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
My favorite bits..
Rice telling Sutton he looked like a wet chicken.
Sutton telling Greenback to go ahead and get in his face sometimes.
Rice, Sutton and Greenback coming upon a mysterious Christmas elf in the drunk tank.
“You’re no as dumb as you look.”
“You are.”
“Wait, did you just pause for dramatic effect?”
“I most certainly did not.” – Yeah right Whitehead, of course you didn’t.
Paula Ann getting more out of the mysterious Joe with a few kind words and an egg salad sandwich, than Greenback and Sutton did in 45 minutes.
“You know how to fix a generator?”
“Doesn’t everybody?” – I love Dwight’s momma so much.
Joe telling Sutton that his momma had always told him to trust a man who was skinnier than him. Well, Sutton certainly qualifies.
“Now maybe I’m just an ex-con, wannabe lawyer who’s taken the bar six times, but you know what I call that? Reasonable doubt.” – Haha!
Aha! Good boy, Sutton. I was wondering when someone was going to think of getting Joe’s keyboard.
Dwight and Whitehead using pie crusts to get finger prints from all of their suspects. Brilliant. What was even more brilliant? The fact that it was all bullshit. Love it!
“Who needs practice anyhow?”
“I do.”
“You’re right, I saw your last show.”
