What Columbo would say if he was asked to collect da testimony of irate 'n' bickering witnesses who would need to be verbally placified and encouraged to get along wif each other so dat they could all speak coherently while relating to said famous detective what they saw.
What with Columbo's inherently calm and unassuming manner, he put people at ease, and so if he said, "I reckon I can peace the story together" during an investigation, you could generally count on his being able to do so.

Get the I reckon I can peace the story togethermug. Where you make a loud burbling sound with your lips as you trip and go sprawling; this can help you to better focus your mind to hopefully not get hurt or damage anything in your fall, plus it will not overly alarm others in your general vicinity.
Petite slight-figured cutie: I totally love my new heart-throb like you wouldn't imagine; I just get concerned whenever we try to go for walks together across uneven ground like a lumpy grass-field, since he is not very sure-footed or steady-balanced in these terrains, plus he's much taller and bulkier than I am, and so I cannot safely/effectively try to catch him if he starts to topple over. He's usually able to land without injury if he has plenty of space to flail his arms and break his fall on the way down, though; I have therefore learned to just jump back out of the way whenever he makes a stumble-splutter, and so usually he merely thuds heavily without incident, and then simply clambers back up and takes my hand again to stroll on as if nothing happened.

If Belloq had possessed a bit less ego and relied less heavily on his unreliable-in-their-honesty/loyalty mercenary cohorts, he might have had better success in his Arkaeology ventures.

Two examples of when one might display simperthy would be if:

Get the cardiac arrestmug. A legal term for when a self-proclaimed "servant of The Great One" mails out Good-Book-passage-laced flyers touting his beliefs, then uses said Bible-blabbing junk-mail to lawfully take possession of one or more dwellings or other valuable objects, particularly those owned by "blindly faithful" people who never interfere with anything that they naively view as being "of divine origin".
I always just write "REFUSED --- RETURN TO SENDER" on any ecclesiastical ephemera I receive, to hopefully avoid any future problems with attempts at ad-verse possession.
