Quotes[]

(to Higgins)
William Troubshaw: Well, well, if it isn't John-John. Long time, old nob. You're looking well... well-fed, that is.

Magnum: Higgins, this is fascinating. This guy Henderson and his wife, they opened up this wax museum by Pearl. Well, they brought her sister in as a silent partner. Well, one thing lead to another and...well, a month later Mrs. "H" disappears...Guess where they found her?
Higgins: Magnum...
Magnum: Guess...Come on, just guess!

William Troubshaw: You've asked for the left position?
Higgins: (silently nods in agreement)
William Troubshaw: I don't care which side or which weapon you've got, John-John, I'm going to cut you to shreds, just as I always have.

Magnum: Look, I don't care if you are protecting someone, as long as you protect yourself, too. Unless British honor demands that you get convicted of a crime you didn't commit!
Higgins: Magnum, your understanding of honor is as solid as Attila the Hun's grasp of morality. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to finish my book!

Magnum: Higgins, are you alright?
Higgins: More appropriately, are you? Another torrid night at the "Boom-Boom Room" I presume.
