PM: Wasn’t there almost a witness?
A guy hands a schemer a box containing $10,000: See here. It’s clearly understood that you and Riley Morgan are to leave town, leave the country. You’re to go to faraway places and never come back.
A $10,000 payoff for two men was expected to be enough to get them to leave the country forever! This episode of Perry Mason was from 1960.
Mrs. Kendall.: Remember Martha, darling? You know, you used to love her cooking so much back in the other house. ... She wants you to stay with her for a few days.
Jimmie, who goes to a military school: Mother, I’ve got homework to do. You don’t know how the commandant acts if a kid just leaves school.
Mother drives a 1960 Buick Electra 225 convertible. It seems unbelievably long --18.9 feet. By contrast, the Lincoln Town Car built from 1997 to 2011 was the longest car built in the Western Hemisphere during that period. The L edition was 18.5 feet long.
Paul Drake gives Perry the scoop on his client, a wealthy widow. The aforesaid Mrs. Kendall, she had married her boss and he was murdered two years later.
PD: She’s been living in seclusion ever since. Lots of seclusion.
PM: What about Roger McClaine? Is he really her brother?
PD: Yeah, with the kind of background an octopus couldn't put his finger on -- writer, sailor, musician, gigolo, necktie salesman, and undoubtedly a few confidence games thrown in there someplace.
PM: Mrs. Kendall, your background hasn’t been easy to trace. When you married Martin Kendall, apparently you already had a little boy from a previous marriage. We’ve found no record of that marriage.
Mrs. K: It was in Tijuana. I was only 19. I didn’t know any better.
Wrapping up:
PM: Both of his shoelaces had been broken and retied – retied so hurriedly that one of them was even tied with a granny and that seemed a foolish mistake for a sailor to make.
Jimmie: Hey, instead of a square knot!
Mrs. K: That’s enough, Jimmie.
PM: Mrs. Kendall, we might be protecting our children too much these days.
Jimmie: Yeah, Mom, it’s a whole lot better for me to know the truth than to always be guessing about things. Square knot! Why didn’t you get that, Mr Drake? Aren’t you a detective?
