• Lt. Columbo : [Sgt. Wilson taps on the window and hold up Columbo's raincoat]  I'll be a son-of-a-gun. Where did you find that? I've been looking all over for it.

  Sgt. John J. Wilson : In the lost-and-found. You left it in the cafeteria.

  Lt. Columbo : I thought somebody stole it.

  Sgt. John J. Wilson : At police headquarters?

• Lt. Columbo : [applying deductive reasoning to the crime scene]  He never did what he came up here to do. He came up here to count his money, double-locked the door, put the money on his desk, but he never opened the box. Why? Was it because he got absorbed in listening to music, or did he have something more important to do?

  Sgt. John J. Wilson : I would assume it was because he had something more important to do.

  Lt. Columbo : I think he had something more important to do.

• Sgt. John J. Wilson : You know, Lieutenant, you WOULD wear reading glasses if you were typing.

  Lt. Columbo : Yes, you WOULD wear reading glasses if you were typing, but there was no paper in the typewriter.

  Sgt. John J. Wilson : Hm.

  Lt. Columbo : And there was no typewritten documents on either the desk, in the drawers, or on top. There is nothing in this room to indicate that that man was typing.
