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.
