Have not heard these. Have the Complete Series now and will listen for them. They are hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

Soooo Columbo.

Another one of my favorites fittingly comes from A Stitch In Crime where Columbo and Mayfield are talking about the roommate Marcia and Mayfield suggests that maybe she knows more than she's saying and Columbo replies "actually sir I think she knows less than she's saying"


trivia

Nita Talbot who played Marcia was once married to Don Gordon who played Alvin Deschler in Negative Reaction.

That's very interesting since I've always liked both of them.

I love the line in Murder Under Glass when Paul Gerard asks why Columbo thinks Vittorio was in some kind of trouble, and Columbo replies:
"Mainly because he was murdered, sir. The two, trouble and murder, they seem to go together. At least that's been my experience, sir."

Another one from Candidate For Crime

Hayward "What's being done lieutenant?"

Columbo "So far sir we don't have anything ... officially"

Hayward "and unofficially?"

Columbo "Unofficially we don't have anything either"

From Port:

"Maybe he got cold feet. Has he been married before?"

"Three times."

"Three times. Well his feet should be warmed up by now."

From Mayhem:

Steven Spelberg: "What's your dog's name?"

Lt.: "Aww, he doesn't have a name. We just call him 'dog' or 'hey you'. What's the difference, he don't come when you call him anyway."

A great Colomboism.
