Judge

Camila: How's Constance? Has Doctor Evans been helpful?
Fipsy: I don't know that his treatment has been helping much yet.
Camila: Don't get dismissive so soon. Doctor Evans might be unconventional, but that's why he's effective. it's not as if anything else you've tried with Constance has worked now, has it?
Fipsy: No. No, it hasn't.
Camila: She always gets like this before a concert. It's selfish, in a way, considering how much goes into these evenings.

Thomas: She completely taken over the practice, Mason?
Della: Why? Does that scare you?

Hamilton: Can I ask you something?
Thomas: Sure
Hamilton: How'd you find out about the gun?
Thomas: I had someone break into Mason's office.

If I'm suddenly no longer around when this offer is completed, then all my research goes to the FBI and the press, telling them how you've been feeding the fish more fruits and vegetables than in your own soup kitchen. No, no, no. I can tell a whole lot more. How you illegally schemed with the Japanese to sell them oil. And how you had such little faith in your own son not to tell people about it that you paid to have him executed.

Perry: And Brooks' little side scam was shining a very bright light on Daddy's bigger one.
Pete: And Daddy needed to extinguish that light.

Secretary: May I offer something?
Perry: Yes, of course.
Secretary: Could it be possible the Japanese are using the oil for their military?

Perry: You broke into our safe.
Pete: You shouldn't have made it so easy.

Anita: Oh, I almost forgot.
Della: What?
Anita: I love you too.

Perry: Mr. Barson, is it possible that the defendant could place their own fingerprint backward?
Mr. Barson: No, it's not possible naturally.
Perry: Then only someone who had taken his fingerprint tried to transfer it could so that it would produce a mirror image, am I correct?
Mr. Barson: Yes.
Perry: Someone like the police or Mr. Milligan's investigators.

Perry: What is all this? Because up until today, you were hung up on my guys, and suddenly you're the prince of mercy?
Thomas: You don't like the deal, you can let the train go by and take the chances on foot.

Join us for another hour of truth and justice. As the most important trial our city has seen in a great while commences, I ask you this; why is it only the witnesses tell the whole truth? Why is the same oath not administered to the attorneys?

Perry Mason Quotes

I'd have said it was over when the talkies came, but clearly, the man still has a lot to offer the world.

E.B.

That's your problem; you get no fun out of life.
