- Ed Brigham: Well, maybe your luck's going to change.
- Rowena Leach: I'm telling you , the next guy is going to have assets. And he's going to let me count them. Or there'll be no deal.
- Ed Brigham: Won't he have to have any charm, brains, or muscle?
- Rowena Leach: Oh, he'll have those if he comes up with the loot.
- Ed Brigham: Well, I think I'll be running along now Rowena. Maybe I'll start saving my money.
- Gunner Grimes: It was him! He was trying to take my money. He was even trying to steal my girl.
- Ed Brigham: Well, that would have been my biggest mistake, wouldn't it? I'll bet that dame would have wound up with every penny of it.

- Paul Drake: That would be mighty noble of him.
- Perry Mason: He's a comedian.
