• Sid Daley : Partners? That was on paper, Lieutenant. Clare fought me on everything. She had to have things done her way. If I'd say white, she'd say black. All you gotta do is take a look at this new Ward Fowler contract. Paying an actor that kind of money is... insanity.

  Lieutenant Columbo : Now wait a minute... let me get this straight. Are you saying you didn't want to pay him that money?

  Sid Daley : I think they should have turned him down. I think he would have folded. and Clare argued me right under the table. I was an idiot for giving in... now if the show takes a dip, they'll drop it.

  Lieutenant Columbo : I still don't understand. You and your wife were partners. Now isn't it to her best interest not to give him all that money?

  Sid Daley : In anything involving Ward, she always took his side.
