You removed the bulb on the phone in the living room so the line wouldn't light up because if 6901 lit up the people there would know that you were talking from the phone in the study.
Guesswork, supposition, more cigar ashes. What you need is proof. That what you need-- proof.
It didn't take me 'til July, but I got the proof.
In two months, I'll be at my villa overlooking the Adriatic with two million in Swiss francs to keep me warm.
You tried to contrive the perfect alibi, sir. And it's your perfect alibi that's gonna hang you.
[Columbo enters a mission looking for a witness]
N Nun
You're hungry and tired, I can see that.
Uh, well, the fact is, I didn't sleep last night and I'm plenty tired.
N Nun
Oh, I am sorry. Would you wait here? [calling behind her] George, would you bring a tray? [turning back to Columbo] Won't you join us, Brother?
N Nun
Come. I haven't seen you before, have I?
N Nun
Oh, that coat, that coat, that coat. Oh, I'm sure that we can find something nicer for you in the other room.
N Nun
I found exactly the right thing. It's warm. And look! It's hardly been used at all! Now, you stand up and we'll try it on.
You know, I appreciate what you're doing. I really do. But I've had this coat for seven years.
[After Galesco explains that his dog is depressed since the dog next door has moved away]
Oh, uh, I don't suppose you have a picture of a cocker spaniel around, do ya?
You know, I mean, maybe I could tack up some kind of a picture. You know, something he could look at, kind of like a pin-up?
G Galesco
[annoyed] No, really, Lieutenant...
No, no, that's a terrible idea. I mean the dog is dumb but he won't fall for that. I mean the dog would know it wasn't her, right? Forget I mentioned it.
G Galesco
I will, Lieutenant.
G Galesco
Look at the negative in the back of the camera, Lieutenant. It proves I'm right.
Were you a witness to what he just did?
S Sergeant
Yes, Lieutenant.
Were you a witness to what he just did?
1P 1st Policeman
Yes, sir.
Were you a witness to what he just did?
2P 2nd Policeman
Yes, I am, sir.
G Galesco
Witness to what?
S Sergeant
You just incriminated yourself, sir. You identified the camera.
Geometry is logic and logic is the battlefield of adulthood.
Boys will be boys, Lieutenant, but somebody's gotta turn them into men.
This country is going to have the best damn army in the world!
You have to forgive me, it's not me, it's my mind, it's very slow, and I have to pin everything down.
Don't expect me to be contrite, Lieutenant. It had to be done, and I'd do it again by tomorrow.
Do you have a first name?
I do, my wife is the only one that uses it.
[to Columbo] We both have similar jobs. I wear a uniform. [glancing at Columbo's disheveled appearance] You wear...well, I suppose you could call that a uniform.
PW Purser Watkins
Lieutenant Columbo, the captain would like to see you.
The captain, to see me? It's not about my wife, is it? I mean... she likes to have a good time, sometimes she gets carried away...
PW Purser Watkins
It's not about your wife, sir
[seasick] The same thing happened to me last year. Me and my wife were at this motel with a water bed. I thought I was gonna die.
