Columbo
- Maj. Gen. Martin Hollister: You know, Lieutenant, I don't see how a man, with the name of Columbo... shouldn't he be more at home on a boat?
- Lt. Columbo: Must've been another branch of the family, sir. How soon before we land?
- Lt. Columbo: I'm terribly sorry to disturb you, sir, but we have this report, uh, about this shooting.
- Maj. Gen. Martin Hollister: A shooting?
- Lt. Columbo: Yes, sir. In this house.
- Maj. Gen. Martin Hollister: That's quite an opening line, Lieutenant.
- Helen Stewart: I mean, am I so uninteresting that he couldn't be interested in me for myself?
- Lt. Columbo: Oh, no. No, no. No, I didn't mean that at all. You're a very individual person.
- Helen Stewart: With all the men in the world, I always seem to pick Mr. Wrong. Uh, I am seriously considering locking myself in the closet for the rest of my life.
- Lt. Columbo: No, that's wrong. That's just the way my niece, Marilyn, felt after her divorce. Now she's got a new husband. As a matter of fact, he's a cop... and they got six kids.
- Helen Stewart: Oh, Lieutenant, I mean just between us, would you tell me the truth? Do you really have a niece?
- Lt. Columbo: Well what kind of a question is that, do I really have a niece!
- Helen Stewart: Well do you?
- Lt. Columbo: Of course I've got a niece. My wife's sister's girl, Cynthia.
- Lt. Columbo: All right, I'm gonna go in and speak to the general, and while I'm doing that I want you to search the yacht.
- Officer Sanchez: Uh, but, Lieutenant, I don't have a warrant.
- Lt. Columbo: Well, I'll ask the general for permission. If he doesn't give it, then I'll get a warrant. In the meantime, check it out.
- Lt. Columbo: [looking at the general's decorations on his uniform] General, that's a lot of fruit salad.
