1:16:05
Where will all your friends be then,
1:16:07
when you haven't the money
to buy them any more?
1:16:22
(Phone)
1:16:30
- Yes?
- (Columbo) 'Mrs Williams?'
1:16:33
'This is Lieutenant Columbo. I was
wondering if I might drop by to see you?'
1:16:37
I got something to show you.
I think you'll really appreciate it.
1:16:42
It's for you.
1:16:43
Some stunt, huh?
I remembered how you like gadgets.
1:16:47
I thought you'd get a kick out of it.
1:16:49
Something to show at parties
and amuse your friends with.
1:16:53
How did you do it?
1:16:54
There was nothing to it.
I got one of your special phones,
1:16:58
got a tape machine, a timer,
I rigged it up, and that was it.
1:17:03
I'm very busy. What does this have
to do with my husband's murder?
1:17:08
I can't get anything past you.
You really got me pegged.
1:17:12
It just shows that your husband
could have been dead
1:17:16
at the time of the phone call.
1:17:18
His voice could have come
from edited tapes in your office.
1:17:23
You know, Columbo, you're almost likeable
in a shabby sort of way.
1:17:28
Maybe it's the way you slouch in here
with your shopworn bag of tricks.
1:17:34
Me? Tricks?
1:17:36
The humility, the seeming
absent-mindedness,
1:17:40
the homey anecdotes about the family,
1:17:43
the wife, you know.
1:17:46
- Really?
- Yeah, Lieutenant Columbo,
1:17:49
fumbling and stumbling along.
1:17:51
But it's always the jugular that he's after.
1:17:54
I imagine that, more often than not,
he's successful.
1:17:58
I appreciate that compliment,
particularly coming from you.
