• Lt. Columbo : That'll be good, you and me together, Pat. Three eyes are better than one.

• Clifford Calvert : Am I a suspect?

  Lt. Columbo : [Responding to the utterly bald Calvert]  Oh no, sir, no. This is just routine. I have to file some kind of a report. So you'll just answer a couple of questions, I'll be outta your hair.

  [pause, as he notices angry glare from Calvert] 

  Lt. Columbo : Sorry, sir.

• Lt. Columbo : Gee, I've got a dozen stops to make. You know, the first day of a homicide investigation, you wouldn't believe it. It's murder.

• Lt. Columbo : I don't waste any part of the apple, I eat everything, even the seeds.

  Patrick Kinsley : Actually, Lieutenant, apple seeds contain cyanide.

  Lt. Columbo : [pause]  I ate a bunch of seeds on the way over, does that mean...

  Patrick Kinsley : You should be safe. A lethal dose for humans is 12 ounces.

• Lt. Columbo : That cat could be the only witness to this murder. I want that cat!

• Lt. Columbo : Well, this is not easy, Pat.

  Patrick Kinsley : No No No It is not easy. And if it was easy, we'd just ask the janitor.

• Lt. Columbo : I'm not here as a policeman, I'm here as a human being.

  Clifford Calvert : As opposed to what, a kangaroo?
