Dr. Bart Keppel:
[having listened to Columbo's theory] You're an interesting man, Lieutenant, very interesting.

Lt. Columbo:
I take it, that's a compliment?

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Yes, it tis; however, you have to take it a bit further. You may really be onto something; you have to take the next step.

Lt. Columbo:
Oh, what is that, sir?

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Look at the film, examine it carefully, see if there are any subliminal cuts. Oh, of course, I should have realized. You've already done that.

Lt. Columbo:
I have.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
What did you find?

Lt. Columbo:
No splices.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Aw, that's too bad. What a shame. Such a good idea.

Lt. Columbo:
Could've been two prints.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
TWO prints! Well, that's an interesting notion, too. If I were you, I'd get busy and find that second print. Your entire case could rest on that.

Lt. Columbo:
Doctor, I don't think I'm gonna find the second print.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Really? Why not?

Lt. Columbo:
I think that the criminal in this case is much too intelligent to leave that kind of evidence around. Of course, I'm gonna check all the film duplicating labs, but I got a feeling this guy did his own duplicating.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
That must be very frustrating for you, Lieutenant.

[Doctor Keppel leaves but Columbo follows and catches up]

Lt. Columbo:
Uh, Doc? I just wanted to thank you for all your help.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Anytime.
