Ray:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, and, and, uh, talking about books, that funny little man came by my office again yesterday.

Paul Galesko:
What man?

Ray:
Oh, you know, the uh, policeman.

Paul Galesko:
Bombarded you with questions, I suppose, huh?

Ray:
Oh, yeah. Yeah, but he bought one of your volumes, so it wasn't a complete waste of time, eh?

Lorna McGrath:
You know, he did take quite an interest in your work the other day.

Ray:
Mm-hm.

Paul Galesko:
[spots Columbo at a distance] And today as well.

Lorna McGrath:
Hm?

Lt. Columbo:
Mr. Galesko, sir!

Ray:
Ah, good afternoon, Lieutenant.

Lt. Columbo:
[to Paul] I've been looking all over for you, sir.

Paul Galesko:
[exasperated] You have.

Lt. Columbo:
Yes, uh, I hope I'm not interrupting...
