:46:00
You're trying to tell me that we're broke?
:46:03
No, it's not as bad as all that.
:46:06
My law practice and the firm will keep us
off the streets of Beverly Hills.
:46:13
But there will have to be readjustments.
:46:15
You mean my allowance?
:46:17
That's a very good example.
:46:20
How much of a readjustment?
:46:23
I'll have to see what I can come up with.
I'll let you know.
:46:29
In the meantime, while you're here,
why don't you find yourself a job?
:46:34
Pick up some extra cash.
Might come in handy.
:46:53
May I help you?
:46:55
Lieutenant Columbo, I had an appointment.
:46:57
Oh, of course. My goodness, you're early.
:47:00
- I know.
- How did you get in?
:47:02
Oh, the janitor was nice enough to let me in.
:47:05
Mrs Williams should be here soon,
she's never late.
:47:08
Really? I got this terrible habit,
I'm always early.
:47:11
Whenever I have to be anywhere,
I'm ahead of time.
:47:14
- You're a legal secretary?
- I'm an attorney.
:47:18
I'm called an associate. The secretary
phoned in sick so I have to fill in.
:47:23
- I don't know how you do it.
- Do what?
:47:25
- Work for a woman.
- It doesn't bother me.
:47:29
Just so happens that she's
one of the best trial attorneys in the state.
:47:33
- Good morning.
- Morning.
:47:36
- Have I kept you waiting?
- No, I was early.
:47:38
Good. Well, won't you come in?
:47:42
- Shall I hold the calls?
- Please.
:47:51
I'm sorry to bother you the first day back.
:47:54
Oh, that's all right. So the federal people
haven't come up with anything?
:47:59
No. Nothing, not a word, not a clue.
