- Arthur Kane: Looks like you kinda lost a client.
- Perry Mason: I didn't say Mrs. Reynolds was a client. I said I came here on her behalf. She talked about blackmail.
- Arthur Kane: Well, I don't have to talk about it.
- Perry Mason: I didn't expect you to. I've talked. You've listened. Now think.

- Rhoda Reynolds: What is it, Carl?
- Carl Reynolds: Come here.

- Della Street: You get all the breaks, counselor.
- Perry Mason: Speaking of breaks...
- Paul Drake: I am afraid he's not going to get the same break from Mr. Burger.
- Della Street: Oh, you mean about the buzzer.
- Paul Drake: Uh huh. Mr. Burger is gonna subpoena Perry before the grand jury on a charge of illegal entry and larceny of the doorbell. I know it's a technicality, Perry, but he's got you over a barrel.
- Perry Mason: Paul, I suggest you call Mr. Burger and ask him if it's a crime for a landlord to enter his own property to make repairs. Would you mind filing this for me, Della?
- Della Street: What is it?
- Perry Mason: Well, on the day after the murder, I invested in some real estate... a four-family flat.
- Della Street: Not the one Arthur Kane...
- Paul Drake: I mighta known.
- Arthur Kane: If you're selling something, I don't want any.
- Perry Mason: I'm not a salesman, Mr. Kane. My name is Mason. I'm an attorney.
- Carl Reynolds: I told you that in confidence!
- Philip Reynolds: There is no such thing as confidence when murder is involved.
- Philip Reynolds: Lieutenant, my son knows next to nothing about the woman he married. Or should I say the woman who married him?
