Columbo Quote
Lt. Columbo: May I ask you a personal question, sir?
Luis Montoya: Oh, by all means, Lieutenant.
Lt. Columbo: Did you injure your leg in the bull ring?
Luis Montoya: [nodding] On the Plaza Del Toros, Mexico. It was the wound that ended my career. And, ironically, it wasn't even the bull I was supposed to fight. You see, I was appearing mano a mano with a young matador who froze, and the bull gored him. I jumped to his rescue, and I too, was gored, badly, here. They tried to take me to the infirmiry along with the young matador, but I refused to go. Despite the blood flowing from my would, I stayed in the bull and I did one of the best fights of my career. I killed the bull with one thrust. The people loved it! They stood up and gave me an electrifying ovation. Two ears and a tail! That was my last fight.
Lt. Columbo: Well, that must have taken a lot of courage, sir.
Luis Montoya: [smiling] Well, it would be a difficult thing for me to do now with this leg.
Luis Montoya: Oh, by all means, Lieutenant.
