Well, chess is the ultimate test of the human mind, isn't it?
You think so? I always thought it was women.

Well, chess is the ultimate test of the human mind, isn't it?
You think so? I always thought it was women.
The murderer just had to be a deaf man.
[walking through a casino] How long has this been going on?
First time in Vegas, huh?
Uh, we were supposed to come down two years ago but my wife switched sides and voted with my in-laws. We ended up in Animal Land. It was nothing like this.
When I talked to my brother Norman, I did tell him that Hathaway and Lisa Chambers were going to meet at 5:00.
You did?
Yeah. Well, well, good ol' Norman, my banker brother. I'm sure he won't admit that I told him.
I would tend to agree with that, yes.
It's a shame that two brothers don't get along like that.
Which one of them do you suspect?
I beg your pardon?
[laughs] Come now, Lieutenant.
Well, sir, the trouble there is it seems to me they both have pretty good motives. I'm very big on motive.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Peck, but I think this time they needed each other so much that they both did something very bad.
Bum! You are a bum! Putting your stinking cigar butt in this silver antique dish! [showing dish to lawyer] You see this!
I thought it was an ashtray. I have one at home that looks exactly like that.
Mrs. Peck? Mrs. Peck, I made a very poor introduction of myself to you. I know that. I'm a stranger in your house that you love and I'm here to do something that's not very pleasant so I don't expect you to like me. But I have feelings too, Mrs. Peck. Now I'm sorry about being untidy. That's something that I can't control. That's a fault of mine that I, I, I don't know, I just can't correct that. I've tried many years. I'm just very untidy, that's my nature. But I've never been un-, I've never been rude to you, Mrs. Peck. And, and if you keep on treating me like an enemy just because I'm here trying to find who killed the man you worked for for 33 years, well, then, well then I think you're a very unfair person. [leaves]
Lt. Columbo! [Columbo returns] I know that you're a very hard-working officer and I would like to offer you a plate of Mr. Paris's favorite health cookies and a glass of milk.
Thank you. I'm extremely fond of health cookies.
They were written with a black eyebrow pencil. I spotted it right away because that's what my wife always uses when she makes out her grocery list. When she goes into her purse that's the only kind of pencil she can ever find.
Then you're wasting your time here, aren't you Lieutenant?
What do you mean?
You're talking to a redhead. Brunettes use black eyebrow pencil.
Hey, Lieutenant! What are you lookin' for?
Salt for my egg. I usually carry a shaker in my pocket.
Say, Miss Scott? Can I ask you a personal question?
Yes.
It's, uh, well, you know it has to do with these pictures. You always wear a beauty mark. Only, this morning you don't have it on.
Oh, is that all? It's just one of those things I never do before lunch time, darling. Bye-bye.
No. What I was wondering about was, uh, how do you put those things on? I mean, do you stick 'em on or do you paint 'em on or, uh... [she just stares at him] Well, I can tell you're not interested and your mind's someplace else. Don't worry about it. I'll ask somebody else.
Oh, no, Lieutenant. I don't mind telling you. I use an eyebrow pencil, of course. A black one.
Still trying to figure out where I got my poison ivy.
Poor thing. Still worried about your itch.
Are you worried about yours?
Where there's a microscope, there's always a slide.
Titian would have gone mad trying to mix so beautiful a red. And he would have failed dismally in the attempt.
[at a wine auction] Do you really need it, Mr. Carsini?
Nobody really needs a $5000 bottle of wine, Karen. I just don't want anybody else to have it.
