- Perry Mason: You know, when I leave here, I'm meeting Paul Drake at a restaurant. He'll pick up the check for dinner. That'll be the fee for my services. He's just a friend, but I never once doubted his innocence.
- Henry W. Dameron: What do you mean by that?
- Perry Mason: Mr. Dameron... I've never before met a person so far removed from humanity that he believed every one of his own children capable of committing a murder.
- Paul Drake: Perry... isn't there anything else you want to ask me?
