- Hamilton Burger: Don't tell me you're planning to call a surprise extra-terrestrial witness, Professor?
- Prof. Edward Lindley: [giving a slight smile] I might just do that, Mr. Burger.
- Prof. Edward Lindley: Could they be footprints?
- Lt. Andy Anderson: Red and five feet apart? Not unless they were left by a Martian nine feet tall.
- [last lines]
- Perry Mason: Professor, do you still believe the perfect trial lawyer is a cross between a parrot and a jackass?
- Prof. Edward Lindley: No, Mr. Mason. I now believe the perfect trial lawyer needs the eye of an eagle, the heart of a lion, and a lot of help.
- Perry Mason: My sentiments exactly.

- Prof. Edward Lindley: [lecturing to class] Unlike the ancient legal code of Hammurabi, our laws are not forever chiseled out on 2-ton stone tablets, as some lawyers seem to think. Law is like language... changing, growing, maturing. When you become lawyers, remember this.
- Prof. Edward Lindley: Someone once said, if you could cross a parrot with a jackass, you'd have the perfect trial lawyer. The parrot to remember the rules of court procedure, the jackass to bray them out.
