Quotes 

• Jarvis Goodland : Well, I must say, Catherine, our kidnapper, whoever he is, is certainly no piker. To demand a ransom of $300,000... Why, I'll wager, a week here and there, even YOU don't spend that sort of money.

  Cathy Goodland : Don't you ever stop, Jarvis?

  Jarvis Goodland : However, leaving our personal affection aside, you must realize that my situation is such that even I couldn't pour even the smallest drop into such a huge bucket - even though I'm not a weakling with a spendthrift wife.

• Jarvis Goodland : Ah, the trust fund! That's why you wanted ME here.

  Cathy Goodland : Well, Jarvis, I certainly knew you wouldn't help me raise the money any other way.

  Columbo : I'm sorry. I don't quite understand about that trust fund.

  Jarvis Goodland : Well, you see, I'm co-administrator with the bank of a trust fund set up by Tony's father. And you, Catherine, should know, of all people, that he put enough strings in there to protect Tony from his own bad habits... and grasping wives.

• Cathy Goodland : I know all about your skills at the office.
