Columbo: I had an uncle who played bagpipes in the Shriners band; he couldn't play a note, but nobody could tell the difference.
(edit)
Columbo: September 16, 1960. That was the day you ordered the fountain.
Nora: Well, I don't remember the exact day.
Columbo: September 15, the day before. That was the day your husband disappeared. Now it starts to make some sense. I have a possible explanation for why the fountain doesn't run. In order to lay water pipe somebody would have to dig up the lawn, wouldn't they? (edit) (Nora Chandler has changed Columbo's tie with an attractive gold one)
Columbo: Yeah, I was thinking. Uh, I've got an anniversary coming up next week. I wonder if I could have that back and save this for a special occasion.
Nora: Sure, here. Why don't you get your wife to take you on a shopping tour for your anniversary, huh? Take a look at (looking down his body) some suits, some shirts, slacks, socks, shoes... (edit) Mr. Fallen: Actors, Lieutenant. Take my advice. Avoid actors. They'll kill ya.
Columbo: Well, thanks Mr. Fallen. I'll be sure to tell your boss I appreciate your hospitality.
Fallen: I AM the boss.
Columbo: Oh, gee. You know it never occurred to me. I mean anybody so young--
Fallen: It's all right. I would never typecast you as a detective either. (edit)
