OK, Cass has inspired me. Here we go.

1. "I'm not sure that 'suspect' is a strong enough word."

2. "Make it today. But MAKE IT."

3. "You're under arrest for the crime of murder, sir. And I'm afraid I'll have to apply the penalty."

4. "There's always tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that."

5. "That is the sound of an elevator."

6. "Let's get some tools and see if we can fix it."

7. "I don't even like being this tall."

8. "I pull a sophomoric prank and poor Harry ends up dead."

9. "You can't spend a day with Edna without quarreling."

And the extra credit question:

In what year was Columbo and Mrs. Columbo married? Hint: It was eluded to in one of the ABC episodes.


Have fun and have a super weekend all.

I can hear so many of these quotes, but I can't place them.

I'll take an easy one...#8 is "Candidate for Crime."

And I'll guess on #3..."A Deadly State of Mind?"

Your ok with #8, E, but not cotrect on the other one. And Laura, you're right on the ones that you guessed on. I'm going to let you think of the episode a little longer though. Cass....back to the drawing board !!

#9 has to be from suitable for framing...with auntie edna!!
and i'll take a guess on #7...is it from swan song?

No. 7 definately from Swan Song, talking to Mr. Pemborn (sp?) at the crash site. "My ears pop in an elevator . . . "

#1 is from Deadly State of Mind, Columbo to Dr. Collier.

#2 is when Columbo is being told to take the LAPD firearms test, because he has evaded it for 10 years. But I can't remember which episode that was!

#4 is Columbo to Joan Hudson, warning her that he will hound her until she cracks.

#9 is actually Edna in "Swan Song," described by Tommy Brown. I agree with Cassa that #7 is from Swan Song, too.

darn it! i messed that up laura.....good call..

#3 is from Columbo Goes to the Guillitine when he accuses Elliot Blake of the murder at the end. And I think the elevator one (#5??) was from Murder with Too Many Notes when the elevator sound got onto the recording that Crawford was making. Guessing on that one.

Extra credit- from No time to die. I can't remember the year but I do remember the Columbos were dancing to the music of Jimmy Scabelli.

You folks did good!! here's the answer key:

#1. From "A Deadly State of Mind."

#2. Laura was on the right track and in fact she was correct.

#3. Steve W. got it! From "Columbo Goes to the Guillotine."

#4. "Prescription Murder."

#5. This was from "Murder With Too Many Notes." Again, Steve was on the right trail here!

#6. This was tough. It was from "Butterfly In Shades of Grey" when Columbo and Fielding Chase broke down (well, the car was sabotaged by other police folks on the mountain, and Chase says this to Columbo regarding fixing the car.)

#7. "Swan Song."

#8. "Candidate for Crime."

#9. "Swan Song" again. I tried to trip you up, but you got it right!

Finally the E.C. question: Columbo was married to the Mrs. in 1966. We find this out in "Death Hits The Jackpot" where he is wondering what to get his wife for their 25th wedding anniversary. That episode aired in 1991, so do the math.

Well done folks.
