I've written quote quizzes in the past, but this is kinda different. This is a "Can You Imagine Columbo Saying...." type of thread. I'm going to give a few examples of things that Columbo could "potentially" say in a future movie. Then you can add your own. This could be a lot of fun and the use of imagination is highly recommended. OK....
At the Racetrack (Horses, that is): "No sir, I never bet. I even believe the Merry-go-round is fixed."
At the Bar: "I can't drink while I'm on duty. (Checks watch). Hey, I just realized that I was off duty five minutes ago."
At the Motor Vehicles Department: "It expired two years ago? Gee, it couldn't have been that long. I'm still driving, arent't I?"
On a cruise to the western Pacific, Columbo gets involved in a case in the Phillipines, where he runs into a descendant of the former dictator. "Do you mind if I ask you a personal question Miss Marcos...how much did you pay for those shoes? They'd look terrific on my wife!"
Or he might make a guest appearance on a remake of "Addams Family Reunion."
"Uh...just one more Thing."
(Don't blame me, Fred started it...and Cass was afraid ***she'd*** write something stupid.)
columbo arrives sleepily at a crime scene, with egg in hand, and speaks to a fellow cop.."i like hard-boiled eggs..they're great for breakfast...but i always forget to bring my salt shaker."
Columbo in Hawaii: "No, I don't surf. I have a balance problem and would probably fall off. It takes all of my effort to keep from falling down on land."
-OR-
Columbo at the doctor's office: "Doc, there has to be something wrong with me. Everytime I look in the mirror, I see someone else."
