- 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.
- Lieutenant Columbo: You know, Colonel, the way we always agree with one another, that's amazing, considering the fact that we really don't like one another. Would you agree with me on that?
- Colonel Frank Brailie: I think I'd have to agree.
- Lieutenant Columbo: You see? We agree again.
- 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.
