Juliet Rylance: Della Street

Quotes 

• Perry Mason : It wasn't right, Della. It wasn't right. He knew you'd be there in the morning. He knew you'd... you'd find him and...

  Della Street : Arrange things? I suppose I should thank you.

  Perry Mason : For what? Helping to turn this suicide into a more insurance-friendly demise? Forget it.

  Della Street : It's very easy for you to break the rules, isn't it?

  Perry Mason : Well, the way I see it, there's what's legal and there's what's right.

  Della Street : You know, you can be profoundly irritating.

  Perry Mason : All right.

  Della Street : You drink too much. Your personal habits leave a lot to be desired. Quite frankly, I find it offensive that you choose to mask your intelligence and decency with cynicism and slothfulness.

  Perry Mason : Is that all?

  Della Street : And you never accept any help.

  Perry Mason : I'm letting you help me finish this bottle.

• June Pitlick : Is that my Underwood?

  Della Street : [typing]  Sorry, June. Emergency.

  June Pitlick : There are people upstairs trying to sleep.

  Della Street : Perry, would you be kind enough to offer Miss Pitlick a drink?

  June Pitlick : Oh, well, I...

  Perry Mason : I'd be honored.

  [passes a cup] 

  June Pitlick : Occasionary, I, uh... Purely for medical purposes.

  Perry Mason : Oh, me too. What, uh... What's the emergency?

  Della Street : Finding our lawyer.

  [signs 'Elias Birchard Jonathan' on the document] 

  Della Street : Now we just got to get him in front of Emily before Dillon gets to her.

  [passes the paper to Perry] 

  Perry Mason : No fucking way.
