Paul Galesko:
I have this... dream, Frances. I'm working, and there's a phone call. He says, "Terribly sorry, Mr. Galesko, but - your wife's dead. Unfortunate accident," and then I always wake up. And I want to cry, because you're still alive, Frances. And I have nothing to face that day but another 24 hours with a domineering, nagging, suffocating woman who took all the joy out of my life.

Frances Galesko:
Paul, don't be a fool! They'll know you did it!

Paul Galesko:
I don't think so. Not if everything works.

Frances Galesko:
You'll never get away with it!

Paul Galesko:
If not... it's a chance I'm going to take.

Lt. Columbo:
You know what bothers me?

Captain Sampson:
Columbo! Hey! What are you doing down here in the dungeon?

Lt. Columbo:
How ya doing, Captain. Well, I was just checking out a few things; the Galesko kidnapping.

Captain Sampson:
Galesko? I thought that case was closed.

Lt. Columbo:
Well, you know me, Captain. Just uh, tying up some loose ends.

Lt. Columbo:
Well, look, I don't wanna hold you up any more. I want to apologize again if I caused any disturbance.

Paul Galesko:
All right, Lieutenant.

Lt. Columbo:
Ah, one more thing, sir. I almost forgot. One more thing that I wanted to check on. Uh, probably not important... um,

Lt. Columbo:
could you excuse us?

Captain Sampson:
Columbo, why, why are you wasting your time with this?

Lt. Columbo:
Because it bothers me, and I couldn't sleep, and uh, I kept thinking about it!

Lt. Columbo:
I'll tell ya, if I'm right about this, it's gonna tickle the life outta me!

Paul Galesko:
You believe that somehow I'm responsible for my wife's death. Oh, don't deny it, Lieutenant! You're like a little shaggy-haired terrier who's got a grip on my trousers, you won't let go. I can't turn around without you staring up at me with that blank, innocent expression on your face!

Lt. Columbo:
I know I've been a pest. I'm just trying to do my job. I won't bother you anymore.

Paul Galesko:
Oh, I hope you mean that, Lieutenant. For your sake and for mine.

Mr. Weekly:
Lieutenant Columbo, I'm sure you have a driver's license. It may even have been issued in this state. It may even be valid. But all of these things not withstanding, I'm sure you'll understand why I'm electing to walk the rest of the way.

Lt. Columbo:
Excuse me, Mr. Galesko, I hate to trouble you...

Paul Galesko:
Columbo, what are you doing here?

Lt. Columbo:
If I'm interrupting anything, you just tell me...

Paul Galesko:
No, of course not.

Paul Galesko:
Oh, Lieutenant, you're priceless! You're a gem! You're a little flawed, and not too bright, but you're one of a kind!

Lt. Columbo:
Were you a witness to what he just did?

Sergeant Hoffman:
Yes, Lieutenant.

Lt. Columbo:
Were you a witness to what he just did?

Policeman:
Yes, Lieutenant.

Lt. Columbo:
Were you a witness to what he just did?

Second Policeman:
Yes, sir.

Paul Galesko:
Witness to what?

Sergeant Hoffman:
You just incriminated yourself, sir.
