Quotes 

• Doris Cole : The district attorney wants to put me on the witness stand at Peter's trial.

  Perry Mason : Really?

  Doris Cole : He wants me to testify that Peter tried to kill me with a carving knife.

  Perry Mason : Well, that's a matter of record. Besides, I don't think it's relevant to this case.

  Doris Cole : Not relevant? Why, all I have to do is... well, take my word for it, Mr. Mason. It won't help Peter if I get on the stand.

  Perry Mason : Mrs. Cole, I hope you do. All I want with you is 15 minutes in open court. I think when I bring up that telephone call you received at approximately 3:00 this morning, the call from Ralph Duncan, it might prove rather embarrassing.

  Doris Cole : Who gave you the right to tap my phone?

  Perry Mason : Apparently, my information was accurate.

• Frank Maddox : Suppose I showed you how you could make a hundred thousand dollars by sitting tight.

  Doris Cole : Are you serious?

  Frank Maddox : You know me Doris, I don't joke when it comes to money; it's much too sacred.

• Doris Cole : How high will Peter go for a settlement?

  Perry Mason : I'll get you $25,000.

  Doris Cole : 50.

  Perry Mason : 25. Take it or leave it.

• Doris Cole : Now do you have everything you want?

  Perry Mason : Why, yes. And so do you.

  Doris Cole : I'd hate to tell you what I think of you Mr. Mason. But if ever I'm in trouble you're going to be my lawyer.

  Perry Mason : [smiles]  Good night.
