Roland Pangborn and Lt. Columbo in “Unfinished Business”

You know something, Lieutenant? I could use a man like you on my team. It's really nothing but detective work.

Lt. Columbo

Oh no, thank you very much. You fellas, you have to fly.

Sure. We're all pilots.

Lt. Columbo

Oh no, not for me, thank you very much. I wouldn't qualify for that.

Why? We'd teach you.

Lt. Columbo

I appreciate it, sir. But, uh, my ears pop in an elevator. As a matter of fact, I don't even like being this tall.
