The Case of the Howling Dog

Perry Mason:
Remember, Cartwright, don't have secrets from your lawyer. I won't betray your confidence.

Della Street:
I'm afraid you're on pretty thin ice, Mr. Mason.

Perry Mason:
Will you skate with me? I haven't fallen through yet.

Della Street:
It's dangerous.

Perry Mason:
Will you take a chance?

Della Street:
You know I will.

Perry Mason:
[to Bessie] Remember, nobody ever got into trouble by not talking too much.

District Attorney Claude Drumm:
Mason, you've got the reputation of being one of the shrewdest criminal lawyers in the country.

Perry Mason:
Thank you.

District Attorney Claude Drumm:
But even the cleverest lawyer sometimes puts his foot into it.

Perry Mason:
[to Bessie] You can't afford to lie to them, and you can't afford to tell them the truth. You're in a jam, and you've got to keep quiet! Do you understand?
