Perry Mason : What's the Purple Wall?
Paul Drake : It's a beat joint. No liquor, no life, no laughs. They just sit around hating themselves.

Buzzie : The squares. Oh, the squares.
Perry Mason : Tell me about the squares.
Buzzie : Go, go, go. Run through the ruts. Splash mud on clean, little people. Stay in the muddy rut. Splash mud at the sun. Wear a mask to hide a muddy face. Squares. Ask me about the squares. I'm Madame Bertha, mystic reader. I understand it better than anybody. I put them down. Liars, hypocrites, slaves.
Perry Mason : What are you, Buzzy?
Buzzie : I'm beat, daddy. I'm beat. No past, no present, no future. Alone. Me. Nothing else except chaos and confusion and squares.

Perry Mason : Your Honor, Mr. Burger's devotion to the obvious sometimes causes him to confuse my clients' interests with standing on a technicality.
