Lt. Columbo:
Uh-oh. Another bad one, huh, Doc?

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Yes, that's a bad one!

Lt. Columbo:
Let's see if I can help you find that!

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Why don't you come to the point, Lieutenant?

Lt. Columbo:
The real point?

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Yes. The real one. That one. Go ahead. Go ahead.

Lt. Columbo:
I think you're guilty of homicide. I think you killed Mr. Norris, and I think you killed the projectionist.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Lieutenant, how could I have killed Mr. Norris, or anybody else, when I was standing in plain view of everyone in the screening room at the time?

Lt. Columbo:
You couldn't.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
No.

Lt. Columbo:
So you weren't.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Yes... but they DID see me.

Lt. Columbo:
No, sir. They heard you. And you had a tape recorder. And it was dark.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Wait a minute. Let me get one thing straight. I was told that all of the testimony was unanimous. Everyone in the room swore they saw me there. Is that true?

Lt. Columbo:
Yes, sir.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Has someone CHANGED their testimony?

Lt. Columbo:
No, sir.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
No, they haven't! Well, when they do, we'll be able to pursue this fascinating line of speculation. Ah! Here's my ball. There it is. I'll just toss it out a bit... and no one will ever know... and I can go on with my game.
