    ''I didn't kill Don. You should be looking at those other drag bitches. They were jealous of Don because he was the best.... Some of those 'ladies' are pushing 200 pounds. They're men!''

Lines from an ABC TV show, ''Detroit 1-8-7.'' The plot for this episode, titled ''Legacy; Drag City,'' centered around the murder of a female illusionist, "Detroit" (pronounced "De-twah") who was killed outside of a club where she performed. This bit of dialogue came from her jealous and abusive gay lover. Other suspects in the crime were an overly eager fan who insisted that he was not gay, and a rival drag performer named "Cherry Pop."
