Columbo1971
Lt. Columbo:
You must be a terrific surgeon.
Dr. Barry Mayfield:
Well... Dr. Hidemann and I DO share a mutual respect.
Lt. Columbo:
Oh, that. Oh, yeah, he must think you're very good. No, actually, Doctor, I was referring to your great concentration.
Dr. Barry Mayfield:
Well, how is that, Lieutenant?
Lt. Columbo:
Well, when I came in, you see, you were getting the news of your nurse's death on the phone - I could see you were terribly upset - but while you were on the phone, you reset your desk clock.
Dr. Barry Mayfield:
Well, I fail to see the virtue in that.
Lt. Columbo:
Aw, you're too modest, Doc. No, most people, they'd be in such a state of shock, they'd never be able to split their concentration like that, the way you did, setting your clock there.
