Quotes
-
Medical Examiner : [talking to a reporter] Both doors were locked from the inside. Freight elevator, locked. The door to the stairs, locked. The safety bolt over there, it's hangin' from its chain, I mean, the guy obviously screwed up. I'm gonna give you this one as an accident and you can count on it.
[Columbo picks up guillotine collar from the floor]
Medical Examiner : Hey, that was off when I got here.
Lt. Columbo : It was off when I got here, too.
Medical Examiner : [to reporter] I mean, it could have been a suicide, but whoever heard of a suicide with a guillotine? I'm still gonna give you this one as an accident.
Lt. Columbo : [handing collar to forensic tech] Have the lab check this out for blood.
[to medical examiner with a shrug]
Lt. Columbo : You never know.
