:39:20
- Mrs Mathews.
- Oh, Lieutenant Columbo!
:39:23
- How are you?
- I'm fine.
:39:25
Mr Kingston and the attorney
said it was OK if I dropped by.
:39:28
- I hope you don't mind.
- Oh, no! Of course not.
:39:32
The more, the merrier.
:39:34
But it does seem such a shame
to hear poor Rudy this way.
:39:39
All those whereases.
It won't sound like him at all.
:39:43
- Lawyers have a way...
- It's like an old movie,
:39:47
with all the barristers, butlers
and discarded wives
:39:50
all gathering in the library
to hear the will read.
:39:53
- (Bell)
- Oh! We'd better go.
:39:55
- Elevators never bothered me till recently.
- Really? I have a friend...
:40:00
He wasn't always
a very nice man, you know.
:40:02
Just business, business, business.
And then collecting. Oh!
:40:07
Collecting like some old pack rat.
:40:09
But how anyone could want to kill Rudy, I...
:40:13
- Oh, hello, Dale.
- Edna, darling.
:40:15
- How are you?
- Hello, Lieutenant.
:40:17
What have you got there this time,
a pink rabbit?
:40:20
This? No, but it is something
I wanted to show you.
:40:23
- Oh, show me too.
- Edna, my dear.
:40:26
- Frank.
- Dale. And Lieutenant Columbo.
:40:29
We can begin now.
Mr and Mrs Evans are here.
:40:31
- But the Lieutenant was going to show...
- He'll show me.
:40:35
- We'll join you. Thank you, Frank.
- I hope you're feeling better, Edna.
:40:42
What do you think?
:40:46
- It's frightful.
- That's what I figured.
:40:49
But I thought maybe you just might
recognise the style or the signature.
:40:55
No. Who on earth is Tracy?
:40:58
Do you remember the night
when I left your place in a hurry?
