Dr. Steadman : Well, perhaps the lieutenant would like to see a menu?
Columbo : Ah, that won't be necessary, sir.
[as Maitre D' walks away with back turned,]
Columbo : I'll just have a BLT on white toast and cream soda.
Maitre D' : [Maitre D' abruptly turns around, and while filling out menu, says] One embarcadero garni.
Columbo : Thank you very much.
[Looking at Dr. Steadman's plate]
Columbo : What are they, snails?
Dr. Steadman : Escargo dipped in garlic butter. Flavor is fantastic.
Columbo : Oh garlic, that's what I smell. What's it for?
[pause]
Columbo : To kill the taste of the snails?
Maitre D' : [Returning with plate 5 minutes later] Your embarcadero, sir. Garni.
Columbo : Ah, excuse me, I just ordered a B.L.T., what's all this?
Maitre D' : That's garni, sir.
Columbo : Oh. Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not feeling too hungry. Maybe you could put this in a doggie bag and I'll eat it on the plane?
Maitre D' : [With expression of disdain] Of course, sir.
Columbo : Thank you. Ah, just the sandwich. The garni... you can keep the garni.

Columbo : You know who would love this? My wife. That woman is crazy about marmalade. Me, I can't stand the stuff. Got too much bumps in it.

Columbo : The lady has dropped a trail of crumbs leading right to Victor Connolly's doorstep. The least I can do is oblige.

Columbo : Gracie, what happened, you lost the chef?
Gracie : Chef?
Columbo : Brama, the big guy. He had one brown eye, one blue.
Gracie : He went back to Mazatlan two months ago. We have a new guy back there, now, Heinrich.
Columbo : Heinrich? You got a guy named Heinrich to make Chili?
[Gets up to leave]
Columbo : Keep the change.
[Puts money on counter. Turns to sergeant]
Columbo : Come on Brady, I gotta walk this stuff off.
[Walking outside]
Columbo : My wife told me that that stuff was gonna kill me some day. I think she was right.

Columbo : What kinda house sells for 5.7 million? Must have a lot of bedrooms!
Vivian Dimitri : Yes, eight, I think.
Columbo : What is it, some kind of mansion?
Vivian Dimitri : Well, not exactly. It needs a little work, but it's in the right neighborhood.
Columbo : Needs work? You mean it's a fixer?
Vivian Dimitri : Well, I wouldn't go that far!

Columbo : I'm sorry. The one thing I hate to do is lose my temper, but the sergeant ... I don't think all his switches are working.
