Quotes 

• Colonel Frank Brailie : The sexual life of the Camel...

  General Padget : ...is stranger than anyone thinks,

  Colonel Frank Brailie : He lies in the shade of the Pyramids...

  General Padget : ...and tries to make love to the Sphinx,

  Colonel Frank Brailie : But the Sphinx is only a statue...

  General Padget : ...beset by the sands of the Nile,

  Colonel Frank Brailie : Which accounts for the humps on the Camel...

  General Padget : ...and the Sphinx's inscrutable smile.

• General Padget : Someone promises once and doesn't deliver, well, that's a busy man. Promises twice, he's not very efficient. Promises three times, I know when I'm being diddled. But here we are, after all. I take it all back.

• General Padget : To Columbo "I like you Lieutenant you know things."
