Columbo, Season Two

Lt. Columbo:
Anyway, what I was going to ask you is this-how much do you make?

Alex Benedict:
I uh, I think that is very impertinent, how much do I make.

Lt. Columbo:
Tours?

Alex Benedict:
I don't know.

Lt. Columbo:
Concerts?

Alex Benedict:
I don't know.

Lt. Columbo:
Publishing?

Alex Benedict:
I don't know.

Lt. Columbo:
Well, et cetera, et cetera. I make $11,000 a year. So at $11,000 a year, I got $750,000 for the house, $18,000 in taxes, 200 in furniture. How much help do you have?

Alex Benedict:
I have five including the gardener.

Lt. Columbo:
You got that and the money plus, plus, plus. 11,000 times 10 years, 110,000. 110,000 times 100 years is 1.1 million. Well, let's say 900,000. That's 90 years work for me just to live here, without eating.
