Quotes11

  • Lt. Tragg: [to the murderer, after a gunfight in which the murderer is seriously wounded] Isn't one cop enough, you miserable...
  • Perry Mason: You all right, Tragg?
  • Lt. Tragg: Yeah. Just sick to my stomach at the sight of *him*.
  • [Further lines containing a spoiler omitted here, in which Tragg calls the murderer a "fink"]
  • Perry Mason: I'd better call an ambulance.
  • Lt. Tragg: Yeah, call an ambulance.
  • [Glares at the wounded murderer]
  • Lt. Tragg: Don't - er - hurry.
  • Paul Drake: Fayette?
  • Perry Mason: Yes.
  • Paul Drake: He's shot. Just once as far as I can see.
  • Perry Mason: That's all it takes.
  • Perry Mason: Any time a client sends you a $1,000 retainer on his own, he knows he's in trouble.
  • Lt. Tragg: Homicide. Tragg.
  • Perry Mason: Perry Mason, Lieutenant. Will you do me a favor?
  • Lt. Tragg: I doubt it, but go ahead.
  • Perry Mason: Two pawn tickets. One she hides in the label of a mink coat. The other ticket stays in her purse, where anybody might find it. It's inconsistent.
  • Paul Drake: She's a woman.
  • Perry Mason: No, that's no excuse.
  • Paul Drake: I'm not a lawyer. I don't have your professional immunity.
  • Perry Mason: It's your duty to answer questions. You don't have to run around giving out information.
  • [first lines]
  • Morey Allen: Miss Street, Mr. Mason.
  • Della Street: Hello, Morey.
  • Perry Mason: How's it going, Morey?
  • Morey Allen: Fine. I have your table all ready.
  • [last lines]
  • Morey Allen: How about a little dessert?
  • Della Street: I might just find room for a piece of pie and coffee.
  • Paul Drake: Ice cream for me, Morey, chocolate.
  • Morey Allen: Right. How about you, Mr. Mason?
  • Perry Mason: Oh, anything, and coffee.
  • Morey Allen: Anything?
  • Perry Mason: Well, anything but a moth-eaten mink.
  • Perry Mason: [outside Dixie Dayton's hospital room] Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to see Miss Dayton.
  • Lt. Tragg: That may be the neatest trick of the week.
  • Perry Mason: What do you mean?
  • Lt. Tragg: Miss Dayton disappeared last night, around Midnight.
  • Perry Mason: [to the manager of the restaurant where Perry and Della are dining as two police officers rush in] You've got company.
  • Morey Allen: Yeah, I know; when you need a cop you can never find one.
  • Perry Mason: [on the phone with Lt. Tragg] And tell the hospital to send me the bill.
  • Lt. Tragg: You know I will!
