Perry Mason
Mondays 9:00 PM on HBOPerry Mason Quotes
Perry: I don't like it here.
E.B.: We do what we don't like so the greater good gets served. You more than anyone else should know that.
Perry: They should've let her see the kid get buried.
E.B.: Well, they said they would, but who tells the truth anymore?
E.B.: We gotta look at what we got. Matthew's a gambler; Emily's a cheat. Do either of you think they killed their kid?
Della: No.
Perry: I don't know. Not intentionally.
Do I pay you to answer the phone? Yes. I do.
E.B.
Della: E.B. will take care of everything. Don't you worry.
Emily: Don't worry. We just went casket shopping for my son.
We only kept the females. I mean, when we were havin' litters. Not that we pushed the toms out, mind you. We're right Catholics. Mr. Trotter got a bucket and drown 'em. It's the humane thing to do.
Mrs. Trotter
Maynard, you have, entirely, a bucket of eels.
E.B.
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.
I bet nine is a good age for a boy.
Emily
Herman: You're a detective, Mr. Mason.
Perry: That's a fancy word for a busybody, but yes.
Perry: We could take my truck.
Della: We could if the plan was to make the world's worst impression.
Perry: Oh, I don't need to plan for that. It just comes naturally.
Della: I'll say. You were just four words from contempt of court.
Perry: [counting on his fingers] Go fuck yourself. I coulda got that in!
That's your problem; you get no fun out of life.
Pete
