How The Murderers See Columbo
Information from: The Columbo Phile by Mark Dawidziak
"You're the most persistent creature I ever met, but likable. The
astonishing thing is is you're likable."
"You're a sly little elf "
"You never stop, do you?" "You're an intelligent man,
Columbo, but you hide it."
DR. RAY FLEMING (GENE BARRY)
Prescription: Murder (1968)
"You know, Columbo, you're almost likable in a shabby sort of way.
Maybe it's the way you come slouching in here with your shopworn
bag of tricks.... The humility, the seeming absentmindedness The
homey anecdotes about the family, the wife. Yeah, Lieutenant
Columbo, fumbling and bumbling along, but it's always the jugular
he's after. And I imagine that more often than not, he's successful."
"You're very lucky, Lieutenant. No, congratulations, you're very
smart. "

me. "

have perception. You have tenacity. You've got everything but proof.
