• Sergeant Frederic Wilson : J'ever see one of these before, Lieutenant?

  Columbo : Uh... no, not sure I have. It, eh, looks kind of familiar, though.

  Sergeant Frederic Wilson : It's a camera-mounted starlight scope. They used 'em quite a bit at Berkeley for night work.

  Columbo : You mean that takes pictures in the dark?

  Sergeant Frederic Wilson : Yeah. I bought this one myself.

  Columbo : You used your own money?

  Sergeant Frederic Wilson : Well, I wanted to have the best equipment for the job, sir.

  Columbo : You must be a bachelor.

• Sergeant Frederic Wilson : Lieutenant, as you've probably noticed, there are three cups, three plates, three different brands of cigarettes. That means there were two persons here besides the victim. That's obvious.

  Columbo : Yeah. Awfully obvious.

• Sergeant Frederic Wilson : Well, sir, different officers do have their different methods. I must say, the lieutenant's investigatory procedures do differ somewhat from my own.

  Jarvis Goodland : Well, that speaks very well for you, Sergeant Wilson.
