The Case of the Lucky Legs is a 1935 mystery film, the third in a series of Perry Mason films starring Warren William as the famed lawyer — back when Perry Mason was funny!
Col. Bradbury: [after finding Perry passed out on his office floor] Is this the office of the eminent attorney Perry Mason or an insane asylum?
Della Street: Sometimes I wonder.
Detective Johnson: Who was that on the phone?
Della Street: Well, it was the garbage man. I told him to bring up enough for four.
Margie: Did you get anything out of Patton?
Perry Mason: No, only a knife.
Thelma Bell: And somebody bumped against the bathroom door.
Perry Mason: In any country but this, they would have let him in.
Perry Mason: Margie was at Patton’s apartment, and when I came in, she was taking a bath.
Thelma Bell: What’s wrong with that? Don’t lawyers take baths?
Perry Mason: Very few. I like them, but uh, the police wouldn’t. They’d say that Margie was washing off bloodstains.
Perry Mason: [after exiting his chartered plane a little airsick] What’s his name and where’d he go?
Airline Official: His name was Roberts. I dropped him at a bus for the Lakeview Hotel.
Perry Mason: They haven’t got a lake here, have they?
Airline Official: No, but the hotel has beds for you to lie down on.
Perry Mason: That’s a very clever remark. Take me to a taxi, please.
Policeman at Ambulance: [Seeing Mason rolling a woman on a gurney] Have an accident?
Perry Mason: No, thank you.
Perry Mason: [Ridiculing Doray when he finds him alone in his hotel room] All alone in the bridal suite? [He guffaws] You must love yourself.
District Attorney Manchester: Why your men always arrive just after Mason?
Bisonette: Well, I suppose because before they decide to commit a murder, they hire Perry Mason to defend them.
Perry Mason: [after the doctor has just put him on a strict diet] Are there any other liquids?
Della Street: Milk.
Perry Mason: Milk? You mean that unpalatable by-product of the cow?
Dr. Croker: No excitement whatsoever, and no stimulants.
Perry Mason: Did you get that, Miss Street? No stimulants and no excitement. I’ll have to get rid of you.
Della Street: Thank you, you flatterer.
