Quotes[]
- Higgins: I say, did someone die?
- Magnum: What?
- Higgins: You're almost wearing a suit. I should think the only occasion for which you would do that would be a funeral.
- Higgins: The last time I saw Penelope, I was considerably ... different looking.
- Magnum: Well, so was she. You're probably not the only one who got fat.
- Magnum: Normally, the chance to make Higgins sweat would have seemed like a lot of fun. Today, it barely raised a smile.
