  Belle Adrian : Mr. Mason, were you surprised when you found I didn't do it?

  Perry Mason : Of course not, Mrs. Adrian. I knew that all along. You just weren't the type.

  Paul Drake : And who is the type, pray tell?

  Della Street : Oh, that's easy, Paul. Anyone who is not represented by Perry Mason.
