Columbo

Paul Hanlon (angry): Columbo, I'm trying to watch this game! What is it? Columbo: You know, you did the same thing the first time I came in here last Sunday. I guess that's what started me wondering. Hanlon: I did what? Columbo: You turned the radio down but not quite off. When I told you that Eric Wagner was dead. It's alright. I do the same thing. You know, when I'm listening to the game and my wife interrupts, I can't help myself. I want to hear that game and I don't care how the important the interruption. Hanlon (annoyed): Your wife has my sympathy.

Columbo: You now, I listened to this thing I can't tell ya how many times, over and over again, figuring maybe I'd hear something that shouldn't be there, some sound that shouldn't be there, an ambulance, a fire truck, like you were in a phone boothe, something... Hanlon (impatiently): But you didn't because it isn't there. I made the call from this booth from that phone. Columbo: Then it suddenly occurred to me. I had it backwards. Maybe there was a sound that should be there and wasn't.
