Columbo Goes to the Guillotine (1989)

Milt Kogan: Medical Examiner

Quotes 

• Medical Examiner : [talking to a reporter]  Both doors were locked from the inside. Freight elevator, locked. The door to the stairs, locked. The safety bolt over there, it's hangin' from its chain, I mean, the guy obviously screwed up. I'm gonna give you this one as an accident and you can count on it.

  [Columbo picks up guillotine collar from the floor] 

  Medical Examiner : Hey, that was off when I got here.

  Lt. Columbo : It was off when I got here, too.

  Medical Examiner : [to reporter]  I mean, it could have been a suicide, but whoever heard of a suicide with a guillotine? I'm still gonna give you this one as an accident.

  Lt. Columbo : [handing collar to forensic tech]  Have the lab check this out for blood.

  [to medical examiner with a shrug] 

  Lt. Columbo : You never know.
