Patricia Barry: Francine

Quotes 

• Columbo : [looking over several modern pieces at an art gallery]  Um, now, this here... I see it doesn't have a title.

  Francine : That?

  Columbo : Yes.

  Francine : That, sir, is the ventilator for the air conditioning.

• Francine : Marcy, have you been smoking something awful?

  Marcy : We have a customer with a cigar.

• Francine : Good morning, sir. Can I help you?

  Columbo : Could you explain this?

  [indicating a piece of art] 

  Francine : Well, - heh - you see, we don't explain art. I mean, that's just sort of something you feel. Well, you see, you look at a picture or a piece of sculpture and it either does something for you or it doesn't. Y'know?

  Columbo : Uh huh. This doesn't do anything for me.

  Francine : That's too bad.
