Columbo:
Uh, your nephew's wrecked car, for instance, uh... You know, we found that thing with the ignition and lights off and the gear in neutral.

Jarvis Goodland:
Neutral? But the letter said he was forced off the road. Perhaps they grabbed Tony and then pushed the car over the side to keep it out of sight, don't you think?

Columbo:
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what it looks like, all right. Of course, only then, one of them made that first telephone call to Mrs. Goodland.

Jarvis Goodland:
Well, that was to make her believe the letter when she got it. She's a very hard woman to convince of ANYTHING, Lieutenant.

Columbo:
Mmm. I wonder how they knew that.
