• [Lt. Columbo goes down to the evidence room to follow up on an idea] 

  Captain Sampson : Columbo! Hey! What are you doing down here in the dungeon?

  Lt. Columbo : How ya doing, Captain. Well, I was just checking out a few things: the Galesko kidnapping.

  Captain Sampson : Galesko? I thought that case was closed.

  Lt. Columbo : Well, you know me, Captain. Just, uh, tying up some loose ends.

• Captain Sampson : Columbo, why... why are you wasting your time with this?

  Lt. Columbo : Because it bothers me, and I couldn't sleep, and, uh, I kept thinking about it!
