George : It's a good thing you ordered a toxicology report, Columbo.
Columbo : Why?
George : Because that's the only way this can be traced.
Columbo : Really?
George : [hands Columbo a clipboard] The victim died of acute nicotine poisoning. Three times the lethal amount introduced through the lungs.
Columbo : Like in cigarette smoking?
George : No. Nicotine in cigarettes metabolizes more slowly in the body. That's why it takes longer to kill smokers.
Columbo : If it wasn't nicotine in the cigarettes, then what was it?
George : A highly concentrated form. Nicotine sulfate, one of the most poisonous substances around. Paralyzes the lungs, the heart action goes nuts. Bingo, you are dead.
Columbo : That quick?
George : With the amount he had in his system, he must have died within minutes of ingestion.
Columbo : Thank you, George.
George : You're welcome, Lieutenant.
