Re: Re: Re: Columbo-Famous Last Words - # 21 - 30

#21 C Playback: "Resignation by breakfast..."

#22 A "What are you doing down here?" is from
"Identity Crisis."

#23 D "I was ringing.." were the last words in
"Lady in Waiting."

#24 This one stumps me, probably because the word
"I" is used so often in the English language
that it becomes very unnoticeable.

#25 B "Crazy" is from "Candidate For Crime."
Harry Stone says, "Nelse, this is crazy."

#26 "pull over" is a phrase in Quincy's "Short
Fuse" last words: "You want me to PULL OVER
and open that for you?"

#27 Another stumper. My guess, based on the
choices, was that it was from "Mind Over
Mayhem." However, the previous analysis of
"Dead Weight" stands correct ("You present
me with a problem?" "PROBLEM?" "You assure
me that my name will never come in to this,
that you'll be my protector. I'm afraid I
can't take that risk.")

#28 B The "live long" line is correct for "An
Exercise in Fatality."

#29 B "Untie me!"

#30 Very clever question. Apparently the two
correct answers are Harry Alexander in
"A Stitch in Crime" and Charles Clay in
"Last Salute to the Commodore."

However, another technical issue (which
understandably would not count) is that there
is one more in which Columbo heard the
victims' last words by way of a tape
recording ("Short Fuse.") Would not count.
Not said directly to Columbo. Just a trivial
note.

EEK! I guess I got on here a little late! Most of them have been answered....Great job guys!!!!

Re: Columbo-Famous Last Words - # 21 - 30

Cassa... I'll put it this way... you can start concentrating on question #24!

As to all the other guesses... Laura... David... WOW! I thought for certain #30 (who spoke their final words to Columbo himself) was going to keep you people scratching your heads. I certainly was wrong!

So who ever figures out the two answers to #24 will really be the Columbo master! (The one who was killed immediately after speaking those final three sentences should be pretty easy to figure out.)

I'll let you all ponder #24 another couple of days and then get on here with the next batch of questions.

Good job everyone!

You are such a tease, Headache!!

Re: Columbo-Famous Last Words - # 21 - 30

I'm gonna guess at the bye bye sky high..just because Bertie (that is the victim's name right?) kind of stutters and stammers and could probably have said I five times altogther. And also I don't think that episode has been used yet. And Cassa, now you know what its like to come when most of the answers have been got...but now you have to tell everyone that you knew them anyway..

Re: Re: Columbo-Famous Last Words - # 21 - 30

Okay. Here is my final attempt at #24.......

Trying to remember as best I can in review of the 45 original episodes, the two I come up with as strong possibilities of the victim using five "I"'s in their last three sentences are "Murder By the Book" and "Requiem For a Falling Star." Hopefully at least one of these two is correct.

Re: Columbo-Famous Last Words - # 21 - 30

Hey Paul...you are right...I do know how you feel!!!

(but confidentially...ssshh...i'm whispering.....i really didn't know many of these....don't tell anyone....)

Re: Columbo-Famous Last Words - # 21 - 30

I'm going to post the answers now. Elsewhere...
