Columbo Season 5

[edit] Forgotten Lady [5.1]

Lt. Columbo: I wonder if you could help me out with this thing here. Uh, my wife is a terrific dancer and a very good singer but I got two left feet and when it comes to dancing in public, you know, I get self-conscious so, and so she always has to sit it out. Is there something, uh, what can you do for a problem like that?

Ned Diamond: Become a critic.

Sgt Leftkowski: You know, Lieutenant, uh, I'm in the homicide office at least once a week. I don't think I've ever seen you there.

Lt. Columbo: Well, I don't get down there too much. None of the murders take place there you know.

Lt. Columbo: From my experience, ma'am, I've discovered that people don't usually forget to do that which they usually do.

Grace Wheeler: That's very confusing.

Lt. Columbo: It sounds that way. I'm trying to constuct something that Dr. Willis must have done just before he died.

Grace Wheeler: [horrified] What are you talking about? Are you still saying that my husband was murdered?

Lt. Columbo: Yes, ma'am. That's exactly what happened.

Grace Wheeler: He took his own life!

Lt. Columbo: No, he didn't.

[edit] A Matter of Honor

Luis Montoya: I will kill him like in the old days. With you assisting me.

Hector Rangel: That is crazy and you know it. We are both out of shape.

Luis Montoya: If you won't, I will have to do it alone

[edit] Last Salute to the Commodore [5.6]

Charles Clay: Isn't the police always called in when there's any possibility of an accident?

Lt. Columbo: Accident? Oh, I'm sure it's just an accident. Don't worry just because I'm from homicide. Didn't I mention that? Well, never mind.

Charles Clay: They're on 24 hours duty. I simply could not have returned them without seeing me.

Lt. Columbo: Yes sir, I guess that's all true and that guard, he certainly remembers what time you left just like I told you he did. But that's exactly what's been bothering me right from the beginning-- time. Ever since I saw that beautiful watch of yours. Time. Why would you check with the guard when you were leaving the island, the time? He's got a drugstore watch. Unless you wanted to make certain when you were leaving he would remember...

Sgt. Mac Albinsky: The time.
