Quotes 

• Columbo : [referring to the water bed]  You know, I've never tried one of these. My wife, that's Mrs. Columbo, she tried to get me interested.

  Alex Bradey : [after Columbo lies on the bed]  Well, how do you like it?

  Columbo : Well, to tell you the truth, sir, it feels all swimmy. Makes me wonder what Mrs. Columbo had in mind.

• Columbo : Mr. Brady, sir.

  Alex Bradey : What are you doing in my desert, lieutenant?

• Alex Bradey : Is there anything else I can do?

  Columbo : Well there is something, sir.

  Alex Bradey : Tell me.

  Columbo : Maybe not, sir. Maybe some other time, not under these circumstances.

  Alex Bradey : They're my circumstances, Lieutenant, not yours. Go ahead and ask.

  Columbo : Is it alright if I make myself an ice cream soda?

• Alex Bradey : Coincidence is what makes a story, Lieutenant. Without coincidence, life runs evenly like a train on a track. Coincidence is a trainwreck, violence, suffering, and guilt.
