[pointing to surgical gloves] Doctor, do you know how many of these you have on board?
DFDoctor Frank Pierce
No, not off hand.

[Columbo is preparing to test fire a bullet for a ballistics check]
Would you mind?
HDHayden Danziger
Mind what?
Mind firing the gun into the matress; I hate guns. Besides, I'm a bad shot, I'm liable to miss.
[At an art gallery] Uh, now this here. I see it doesn't have a title.
FFrancine
That?
Yeah.
FFrancine
That, sir, is the ventilator for the air conditioning.
Oh. That's the ventilator?
FFrancine
Yeah.
Oh. [blushes] I'm embarrassed.
FFrancine
Oh, no.
You won't tell anybody?
FFrancine
Of course not. You know, I think you would appreciate the more traditional things. If you'll come with me, we have some beautiful landscapes upstairs. If you'd like to come and I'll show you--
Well, I'll tell you the truth about that, ma'am. I've got plenty of landscapes. Thank you very much. You see, my wife, she paints a little.
FFrancine
Oh, does she?
Yeah. She buys those canvases with the numbers on them. You've seen 'em around. Yeah, you fill the spaces with the paints that have the corresponding numbers. They turn out pretty good.
Good afternoon, Mr. Van Wyck.
HVHarold Van Wyck
Oh, what is it? A new experiment?
I'm sorry to bother you again so soon.
HVHarold Van Wyck
Perhaps it would be more convenient for you, Lieutenant, if you'd just move into one of our guest rooms.
[talking to the gate man] So ordinarily he'd pull up in a car and tell you where he's going and you would come in here and you would record it on a log. But tonight he wrote it on a magazine in advance. I've got this funny habit. You know, when a person does something one way and then he suddenly does something another way I immediately think...[taps head]. I'm sure it doesn't mean anything.
This is this. This is what you presented at the art show the night of the murder. The problem is it was on the desk immediately after the shooting. How did it get to the art gallery? By your own testimony you took it there. But in order to get it off the desk you practically had to step over the body. That woman was shot BEFORE you left the house... and you shot her.
MCDr. Mark Collier
Am I to presume that I'm currently your chief suspect?
I'm not sure suspect is a strong enough word.
MCDr. Mark Collier
In that case, I should be locked up. Of course, I'm not. Therefore, I presume you have no proof.
Not yet.
MCDr. Mark Collier
You'll let me know when you do, won't you?
You will be the first to know, Doctor.
MCDr. Mark Collier
Do you know, Lieutenant, you're a marvelously deceptive man. You know, how you get to the point without really ever getting to the point.
See, that's a European car. You know, they have the thin tires.
SKSgt. Kramer
Yeah, I know. Our tires are wider.
But I don't see any European cars here, only my car.
SKSgt. Kramer
You got a European car?
That's a French car. Yeah, my car's French.
I have an eyewitness, Dr. Collier. An eyewitness that will place you at the head of the Donner driveway at 5:30 Monday afternoon. But the eyewitness is not Mr. Morris. The eyewitness is you.
I wonder if you could help me out with this thing here. Uh, my wife is a terrific dancer and a very good singer but I got two left feet and when it comes to dancing in public, you know, I get self-conscious so, and so she always has to sit it out. Is there something, uh, what can you do for a problem like that?
NDNed Diamond
Become a critic.
Wait till I tell my wife.
SLSgt. Leftkowski
You know, Lieutenant, uh, I'm in the homicide office at least, uh, once a week. I don't think I've ever seen you there.
Well, I don't get down there too much. None of the murders take place there you know.
From my experience, ma'am, I've discovered that people don't usually forget to do that which they usually do.
GWGrace Wheeler
That's very confusing.
It sounds that way. I'm trying to reconstruct something that Dr. Willis must have done just before he died.
GWGrace Wheeler
[horrified] What are you talking about? Are you still saying that my husband was murdered?
Yes, ma'am. That's exactly what happened.
GWGrace Wheeler
He took his own life!
No, he didn't.
