Perry Mason
- Perry Mason: Do you have an autopsy report yet?
- Lt. Tragg: No, I expect it by the time I get back downtown.
- Perry Mason: Then, you just suspect murder?
- Lt. Tragg: I guess I'm the gloomy type.
- [last lines]
- Della Street: You've tampered with my digestion and obstructed my feeding procedure for quite some time.
- Perry Mason: I plead guilty. What's the fine?
- Della Street: One dinner.
- Perry Mason: Mmm...
- Della Street: Payable now.
- Hamilton Burger: At about five minutes to nine on the night of the murder, did you receive a phone call which caused you...
- Perry Mason: Objection, your Honor. Incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial, and improper questioning in that it takes up matters not part of the direct examination.
- Judge: Sustained.
- Hamilton Burger: Now Mr. Dorrell, did you have an appointment at nine o'clock on the night of the murder with the defendant at your house...
- Perry Mason: Objection, your Honor, on the same grounds.
- Hamilton Burger: Your Honor, these questions are certainly germane to the issues in this case.
- Perry Mason: Your Honor, the prosecution had the opportunity of bringing out all these germane issues when it presented its case. The prosecution chose not to do so.
- Judge: Sustained. Mr. Burger, you will confine yourself to proper cross-examination.
- Hamilton Burger: Very well, I have no further questions of the witness at this time. I will bring out what I want to bring out on rebuttal!
- Perry Mason: That would be when the defense is finished with its case.
- Hamilton Burger: Naturally, Mr. Mason.
- Perry Mason: Solid gold, custom made. That's an attractive lighter. I don't know if I've seen one like that. May I? That's a beautiful shirt.
- Alex Hill: Oh, you like it?
- Perry Mason: Silk, isn't it? And that necktie?
- Alex Hill: The tie cost me $17.50. I like nice things. I'd go without lunches for a good pair of shoes.
- Perry Mason: And without cigarettes to buy a lighter?
