• Norman Paris : You got the Degas. I got the Picassos.

  Dexter Paris : [Derisively]  Norman, you couldn't tell Picasso from a Rorschach test!

  Norman Paris : Can anyone? I know very much what they're worth.

• Dexter Paris : This happens to be a friend of mine. Not a very close friend, but one who does, in fact, qualify, uh, as someone's husband. This happens to be Lt. Columbo of the L.A.P.D., who is your everyday, average, typical, downtrodden American husband.

• Dexter Paris : Hey, where's the honeymoon gonna be?

  Michael Hatheway : Dexter, your uncle is getting married tomorrow. It's not the same as going out for a night on the town.

• 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.

• Dexter Paris : Mr. Hatheway, you're a very nice man... and you happen to be an excellent attorney. But the day you can make a merger between me and my beanbag brother, that is the day they'll appoint you to the Supreme Court.

• Dexter Paris : And remember... When ze husband comes home tonight, let him know what wonderful eating can do for the marriage.

• Dexter Paris : Now look, you come in here with the subtlety of a train wreck and you ask me what electric mixers I use.
