The Most Crucial Game (1972)

Val Avery: Ralph Dobbs

Quotes 

• Ralph Dobbs : Now wait a minute, officer. This isn't what it looks like!

  Lt. Columbo : It's all right. He won't have a gun. Just get his wallet.

  Ralph Dobbs : Thank you, sir.

  Lt. Columbo : Don't thank me. Thank that radio over there, huh? Well, what do you know! License and everything.

  Ralph Dobbs : Of course, I've got a license. My name is Ralph Dobbs. What do you mean "radio"?

  Lt. Columbo : Well, let me show you. Don't feel bad. Could happen to anybody. You see, some of these bugs have frequency leakage. If you don't put them in right, it affects the other electrical systems. That's what happened to you.

  Ralph Dobbs : Well, take it easy, will you? Those things are expensive.

  Lt. Columbo : Sorry, it won't happen again. Anyway, you put it in wrong, that's all. When you used the telephone, it effected the radio. I noticed the static. But don't feel bad. I didn't know anything about this myself. Till I had trouble on my TV when my wife used the hair dryer. So the electrician explained to me. Do you find this boring?

• Ralph Dobbs : Listen, will you go find yourself another suspect?
