- Perry Mason: Say, That's mighty nice country up there. You get a marvelous view of the mountains and ocean.

- Perry Mason: Better look in the coffin, Wilbur. We'll finish our coffee at the morgue.
- Coroner Wilbur Strong: [to a morgue assistant] Get a can opener, son. We'll see whether this Moxley died of pneumonia or wild hair.
- Coroner Wilbur Strong: [to assistants as he is entering the morgue with Mason and Spudsy] Get three slabs ready - I'm bringing friends!
