  1. I’m looking for a Perry Mason quote that I had as my desktop wallpaper years ago. It went something like “Your attitude (word here synonymous with diminishes) my inclination”. The words ‘attitude’ and ‘inclination’ were definitely in there. He was saying it to a potential client who was being very overbearing and Mason was disinclined to work with him. Any help finding this quote is greatly appreciated.

  2. I was inspired by this site to extend my search. I found what I was looking for in a transcript of Season 3, Episode 23 – The Case of the Slandered Submarine. The exact quote is:

    “Your attitude has virtually eliminated my inclination and availability.”

    Thank you for this site!

  3. Please, can someone tell me which episode where either Perry or Tragg says something about going after Perry’s client with ‘hammer and tongs’?

  4. Mine is fromseaon 3 episode 12 the frantic flyre mr Davis murder is real tricky and complicated
    Mason No sir. Murder is not tricky and complicated its the getting away with it that’s tricky and complicated
