Scorpio pays a guy to beat his face to a pulp, then goes to the press saying it was a cop named Callahan who beat him up. Harry then gets in trouble with his boss, the police chief.
Chief: Have you been following that man?
Harry: Yeah, I've been following him on my own time. And anybody can tell I didn't do that to him.
Chief: How?
Harry: Cause he looks too damn good.

He really did look too good. After the bandages were taken off he had no cuts, bruises, swelling, etc., except for his Biore strip bandaid across the bridge of his nose. No way he would have looked the way he looked for the final showdown no matter how much time passed between the beating that Curtis Mayfield-looking dude gave him and the school bus / quarry shoot-out scene.
share2 OP - I wonder...
Are you trying in a way to suggest that Harry's reaction to the accusation was NOT the best way to prove his innocence in being accused of being a vigilante and attacking Scorpio?
Great line!
Great film too.
