As promised - which episodes did these quotes come from?
#1 (said by Columbo): " ....I think my wife was right....something wrong with me. Supposed to be on vacation, and right away I'm thinking like a cop. That's called occupational hazard...."
#2 (said by Columbo): "But that's me, I'm paranoid. Like every time I see a dead body, I think it's a murder... Can't imagine anyone murdering themselves. Especially a young girl like that, beautiful eyes. But that's me. I'd like to see everyone die of old age!"
#3 (said by Columbo): "..I'm gonna tell you something. Do you know that there is a reasonable explanation for everything, if you just put your mind to it? Course, sometimes these things... pop up. Like with alibis. Do you know in most cases, people, they don't remember what time it is...."
#4 (said by Columbo): ".. My wife says I'm the second-best, she claims there are eighty men tied for first!"
Since you just posted this I will only take one of them.
um.....#2 sounds a trifle familiar.....hmmm.......let's see.........could it be from Etude in Black????
Ok...I can't resist...I'll do one more.
#4 is from Short Fuse. It is when Aunt Doris and Roger and Columbo are standing at the bar, and she says she called the Comissioner and he had promised to send over "his best man." (I love the way Roddy smiles when Peter delivers this line! )
Ok...I will not be a Quiz Hog...so I will go away now.
