The Lt. Columbo Forum
An area where fans from all over can ask each other questions and voice their own ideas and opinions on anything Columbo.This Forum is fondly dedicated in memory of "cassavetes45" (Carleen Zink),
Columbo's greatest fan and a great friend to us all.
Here are the new puzzlers. Instead of concentrating on the vicious killers of "Columbo", I've decided that it's time to give the victims some glory. So I've researched the original 45 Columbo episodes and have come up with every murder victims "Famous Last Words".
Most of the victims did speak their "last words" on screen, just before they met their doom. Other victims were alive and talking in one scene, then dead later on in the episode. So those particular victims most likely did have other things to say between what we viewers heard them say as their last words, and what they're last words - later on, off screen - actually were. My puzzlers deal with what we viewers actually heard as their last words. Got that? I hope so!
Again, all these questions deal with only the original 45 Columbo episodes. Also, my questions are based on the DVDs already released, and my own VHS tapes taped off the TV. Therefore, with the VHS episodes, it is possible that some local station editing was done and therefore what I have found to be the last words of a victim may be different from what an "unedited" DVD will later reveal!
All that said, here are the first 10 questions dealing with "Columbo" murder victims "FAMOUS LAST WORDS!"

I'll get in here any post the answers within a couple of days and get another 10 questions posted. Have fun, and you may not want to waste too much time on these questions. It's all just a bunch of silliness to pass some time with! That's all! 
Where do you come up with these ideas??? Amazing!!
And don't call it 'a bunch of silliness'...everyone here knows how much work you put into these things and we are all grateful.
Some of these are easy as you said, but oh boy! some of them are very difficult.
I will take a stab at #6...the murder victim who spoke all their last words in a foreign language...at first I thought it was Rosanna Welles from Troubled Waters with her haunting..yet Annoying!..rendition of Volare..but I think she speaks something after that in English....So I am going with Vittorio Rossi from Murder Under Glass...as he wrenchingly falls to the ground speaking Italian.
Great questions Headache. And these are pretty tough, harder than the Columbo Quotes I think. David, took me a while to get what you meant with Requiem for a Falling Star.
I can't really add much, but I was thinking in 5 or 6, that Matter of Honor could be in there, did he not speak his final words in a least a mixture of Spanish and English? Number 2 was pretty easy. Not sure about the rest...I have a hunch that 8 may be Beg and that it may have been from the Bye Bye Sky High, but really not sure....
laura...i think you are right about the thank you one...good job....and #7......just can't get it either..so i am going crazy too!!
Before I start pondering on what you said about the "True" possibly being a clue...let me just say..that Headache is probably sitting in his cave and laughing his butt off at us as we try and find the "deeper" meaning to his questions!!!
Well laugh on...o mighty one.....your little kiddies will struggle away...............boy...my Head Aches!!
oh...that sounds right!
NO!! E...why does this always happen to me. I was just watching Matter of Honor, but had a brainwave about the line from the Most Dangerous Match "what are you doing with my bag?" and so I connected straight away, and as always, someone beats me to it 
Never mind, having watched Matter of Honor, I think I was right with what I said earlier about that episode....
Oh....little Paulie..your day will come.. ......Hey! just remember you are still on your honeymoon.....ok?
By the way Headache, I love the title of this puzzler.. "Famous Last Words"........it seems that there is this cassa person who always tries to get in the last word on every thread.....she is an annoying soul....but nontheless she can be endearing at times...
