Columbo

Captain August: Mr. Morgan is with the Protocol Department, Columbo. There's been a complaint lodged against you by the Suarian legation. Kermit Morgan: A complaint of police harassment by First Secretary Hassan Salah. The feeling expressed to me is you've been engaging in a personal vendetta. Columbo: Well, there's no vendetta involved here. Just trying to catch a man who murdered two Suarian nationals along with robbing the legation of $600,000. Morgan: Yes, I'm sure but you're working in delicate and apparently unfamiliar waters, Lieutenant. You can't push around diplomatic personnel the way you would common criminals in the street. It's in the best interest of our government if there are no further contacts between yourself and First Secretary Salah. Columbo: Well, that's all very well and good except for one thing. Captain August: What is that, Lieutenant? Columbo: He's the murderer.

Columbo: Where's the King? Zena: Oh, he's here. Columbo: You know, it looks good, those robes. Do you think they look good, I mean for a man? Zena: Oh yes, I do. Columbo: What do they cost? Zena: I'm afraid I don't know. Columbo: How come the King doesn't wear one? It's not because he can't afford it, I know that. Zena: You seem to be interested in clothes. Columbo: Shoes. These are new. $16.95.

Hassan Salah: You were saying you were apprehensive about your employment, is that it? Columbo: I beg you not to send a letter to the State Department. I apologize but more than anything else I want to shake your hand. You're the best. Salah: To what do I owe this tribute? Columbo: You beat me. That's it. I got beat, plain and simple. Salah: True. Columbo: I know you did it. But, well, you can't win 'em all, sir. Salah: You're very gracious, Lieutenant. Columbo: Thank you.
