• Columbo : My niece's green thumb couldn't make hedges grow that fast.

• Columbo : [to Budd Clarke's dog]  Oh, you're a girl! Gee, you have more life in you than my dog.

• Columbo : [on set for a TV award ceremony]  Can you tell me something? Is Roseanne Barr here?

• 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.

  Wade Anders : Smoked silver. Custom.
