Quotes 

• Columbo : Mrs. Peck? Mrs. Peck, I made a very poor introduction of myself to you, I know that. I'm a stranger in your house that you love and I'm here to do something that's not very pleasant, so I don't expect you to like me but I have feelings too, Mrs. Peck. Now, I'm sorry about being untidy. That's something that I can't control. That's a fault of mine that I-I, I don't know, I just can't correct that, and I've tried many years. I'm just very untidy. That's my nature, but I've never been un... I-I-I've never been rude to you, Mrs. Peck, and-and i-if you keep on treating me like an enemy just because I'm here trying to find who killed a man that you worked for for thirty-three years, well, then... well, then I think you're a very unfair person.

• Mrs. Peck : Bum! You're a bum! Putting your stinking cigar butt in this silver antique dish! Do you see this?

  Columbo : I thought it was an ashtray. I have one at home that looks exactly like that.

• Michael Hatheway : [Referring to Mrs. Peck and the twins]  She practically raised both boys. So she has more love for the family than the family does.

  Columbo : [Sensitive to Mrs. Peck's hostility to him]  I think she hates me. I really feel that.

• Columbo : Would you mind very much coming with me into the bathroom?

• Dexter Paris : That's amazing. You must do a little cooking at home, huh?

  Columbo : Uh...

  Dexter Paris : Uh what? You're doing very well though, I must say.

  Columbo : Thank you. Uh...

  Dexter Paris : Can't you say anything else, Lieutenant?

  Columbo : Uh...

  Dexter Paris : I think that's great. You amuse me, Lieutenant.

  Columbo : Yeah. Uh...

  Dexter Paris : Oh, please forgive me. That's very good. For a job well done.
