• Lt. Columbo : Here I've been talking with the most intelligent people in the world, and I never even noticed.

• Lt. Columbo : You know, sir, it's a funny thing. All my life I kept running into smart people. I don't just mean smart like you and the people in this house. You know what I mean. In school, there were lots of smarter kids. And when I first joined the force, sir, they had some very clever people there. And I could tell right away that it wasn't gonna be easy making detective as long as they were around. But I figured, if I worked harder than they did, put in more time, read the books, kept my eyes open, maybe I could make it happen. And I did. And I really love my work, sir.

  Lt. Columbo : What I'm saying is... Oh, thank you very much, ma'am. I like the way you wear yours.
