- Detective Johnson: Who was that on the phone?
- Della Street: Well, it was the garbage man. I told him to bring up enough for four.
- Thelma Bell: And somebody bumped against the bathroom door.
- Perry Mason: In any country but this, they would have let him in.
- Col. Bradbury: [after finding Perry passed out on his office floor] Is this the office of the eminent attorney Perry Mason or an insane asylum?
- Della Street: Sometimes I wonder.
- Perry Mason: No beer. No wine. No liqueur. Now I'm gonna break your heart. No whiskey!
- Perry Mason: Are there any other liquids?
- Della Street: Milk.
- Perry Mason: Milk? You mean that unpalatable by-product of the cow?
- Dr. Croker: No excitement whatsoever, and no stimulants.
- Perry Mason: Did you get that, Miss Street? No stimulants and no excitement. I'll have to get rid of you.
- Della Street: Thank you, you flatterer.
- Perry Mason: Margie was at Patton's apartment, and when I came in, she was taking a bath.
- Thelma Bell: What's wrong with that? Don't lawyers take baths?
- Perry Mason: Very few. I like them, but uh, the police wouldn't. They'd say that Margie was washing off bloodstains.
- Perry Mason: [to Bradbury and Spudsy in the restaurant] Well, there's no one I'd rather pin this killing on than a doctor.
- Perry Mason: [after exiting his chartered plane a little airsick] What's his name and where'd he go?
- Airline Official: His name was Roberts. I dropped him at a bus for the Lakeview Hotel.
- Perry Mason: They haven't got a lake here, have they?
- Airline Official: No, but the hotel has beds for you to lie down on.
- Perry Mason: That's a very clever remark. Take me to a taxi, please.
- Policeman at Ambulance: [Seeing Mason rolling a woman on a gurney] Have an accident?
- Perry Mason: No, thank you.
- Perry Mason: [Cautioning Margie and Doray to stop embracing and leave before police arive] Hang together, and you'll hang separately!
- Perry Mason: All alone in the bridal suite?
- [He guffaws]
- Perry Mason: You must love yourself.
- Dr. Bob Doray: Whoever you are, we don't make an appropriately agreeable young couple.
- District Attorney Manchester: Why your men always arrive just after Mason?
- Bisonette: Well, I suppose because before they decide to commit a murder, they hire Perry Mason to defend them.
- [first lines]
- Dr. Bob Doray: Boys, let me through here, will you? Please, I'm a doctor. I'll be frank here. Let me through. I'm a doctor!
- Contest Stage Manager: Okay, doctor. I think we'll need one. You know how women are when they lose.
- Col. Bradbury: By unanimous vote, the honor of having the most beautiful legs in Cloverdale and the $1,000 prize goes to - Miss Number Three: the girl with the lucky legs!
- Col. Bradbury: I want to introduce to you a very welcome visitor to our city: Mr. Frank Patton - the man who as representative of the Leg-easy Hosiery Company made this Contest possible. Speaking then, for the Civic Betterment Bureau, for the girls, and, I am sure, for all of you, I want to extend, Mr. Patton, our heartfelt gratitude for the noble work he has done.
- Eva Lamont: Studying anatomy, doctor?
- Dr. Bob Doray: Yes. But, entirely without pleasure, Eva.
- Eva Lamont: Margie will make you like it.
- Col. Bradbury: Ah, you're a swell boss.
- Col. Bradbury: Swell enough that you might consent sometime to be my boss? You know you can take over anytime.
- Margie: I - I - I know, it's sweet, but...
- Col. Bradbury: But...
- Col. Bradbury: There's a body in there on the floor.
- Della Street: Tch-tch-tch-tch-tch. I have to speak to that janitor about cleaning up. He's been very careless lately.
- Dr. Bob Doray: Margie, I just resorted to gate crashing hoping to get here in time to finally convince you not to stand up there half-dressed and to be judged like a prized heifer.
- Dr. Bob Doray: You think you made possible our marriage by winning a leg show? You've made it impossible.
- Perry Mason: Good. I was afraid it was going to be so simple that I wouldn't be able to swing much more of a fee out of it.
- Bartender: What'll you?
- Perry Mason: Milk.
- Bartender: Milk?
- [laughs]
- Bartender: That's a hot one.
- Perry Mason: I'll have it cold.
- Bartender: Milk? What am I? A bartender or a dairy maid?
- Perry Mason: I got the dope right here.
- Spudsy's Wife: You're wrong, Mr. Mason. I've got the dope right here.
- Perry Mason: [on the phone with Della] Empire Apartments. Suite... No, I'm not getting affectionate. Suite 502, Sweet.
- Perry Mason: Bradbury, again?
- Col. Bradbury: I'm in full control of all my faculties, sir.
- Col. Bradbury: Oh, that's too bad.
- Perry Mason: The gentleman is here.
- Della Street: [laughs] Don't lie to me. You're no gentleman. You're Perry Mason.
- Detective Johnson: Headquarters just wants to a questioning. Sort of, informal.
- Perry Mason: I'd like it better formal.
- Della Street: Oh, if its formal, I can wear my new evening gown. Can't I, daddy?
- Col. Bradbury: I want to see Mason right away. Where is he?
- Della Street: He's out.
- Col. Bradbury: Are you sure he isn't in there? Drunk?
- Della Street: Oh, I'm sure he isn't in there. But, I can't guarantee that he's not drunk.
- Perry Mason: There's something awfully smelly about this. I think we ought to take a peek.
- Perry Mason: That's another thing you'll need a warrant for. Even to take a sniff.
- Detective Johnson: Your confession?
- Perry Mason: Certainly, I can confess, if I want to. Where's your book, Della?
- Della Street: Right here, where it fell the other night, when you and I were - oh, I forgot, this is your confession.
- Perry Mason: If Eva had known then that I was Perry Mason, she'd have known that I was at the key hole.
- [last lines]
- Della Street: Well, you just solved one mystery.
- [bites her lip]
- Perry Mason: Ah ha, that's what I thought.
- Perry Mason: Thelma, finally got the freight elevator and went out the back way. I saw Margie coming out the front way. I recognized the lucky legs.
