  Paul Drake : Oh, uh, speaking of money, uh, could you let me have $50?

  Perry Mason : This, um... This is a loan.

  Paul Drake : Uh-huh.

  Perry Mason : And the celebration is on you.

  Paul Drake : Certainly. Just, uh, put it on my expense account. Uh, Della?

• Pit Boss : Doing any good?

  Paul Drake : Well, so-so. I'm afraid you'll never get rich on me unless you can reach into my pocket because I won't.

  Pit Boss : Ah, you've learned the big secret. The house percentages have to beat you over the long haul.

  Paul Drake : The way they beat Peggy Sutton?

  Pit Boss : Yeah. Poor Peggy, she was a natural born loser. But she just couldn't stay away from the tables.

  Paul Drake : How was her credit?

  Pit Boss : 86 and out here whenever I was on duty. She was the type, the deeper she plunged, the more desperate she got. Bad business.
