Lt. Columbo:
Finally got some hard evidence! What is that, Doctor? I'll be a son of a gun. A calibration converter. Do you have the key to that case? Looks like a .22. Fit nicely into a .45 automatic. That's why the barrel and chambers were clean when ballistics checked out the gun. That's a lovely touch. A converter. I never figured on a converter. And one hidden in a lamp. Doc, I woulda sworn you had a gun hidden in here - and I was trying to smoke you out - but I never figured on this.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
A subliminal cut. You used a subliminal cut!

Lt. Columbo:
No, quite a few subliminal cuts. From some photos I made. Came in here with Milt last night and we shot some pictures... It must have been the ones around the lamp... Those are the ones that did it. Maybe it was that fella.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
Let me... see. May I?

Lt. Columbo:
We had them processed last night, and we cut 'em into your movie this morning.

Dr. Bart Keppel:
I know one thing, Lieutenant, you have to admit... you never would have solved it without using my technique.

Lt. Columbo:
That's right, Doc. If there was a reward, I'd support your claim to it.

[Dr. Keppel laughs, half-mad]
