Quotes 

• Marcia Dalton : I just can't believe it. We were so close. Of course, in a lot of ways, you know, we were far apart.

  Lt. Columbo : How is that?

  Marcia Dalton : I mean, I've always been inner-directed, and she was other-directed. You know what I mean?

  Lt. Columbo : No, not really.

  Marcia Dalton : I'm career-oriented. Sharon was motivated by other's wishes. Do you understand?

  Lt. Columbo : No.

  Marcia Dalton : I have personal, selfish goals, and Sharon was devoted to humanity. Do you follow?

  Lt. Columbo : Uh, well, I'm beginning to get some of the drift of it. You were both nurses. Is that right?

  Marcia Dalton : Yes. But Sharon always was devoted to healing. She always worked in hospitals. Myself, I work in Beverly Hills for a plastic surgeon, because I selfishly enjoy being with middle to upper-middle-class people. However, I don't meet any single men unless they're ready for face lifts.
