Quotes[]
- (Higgins is looking through books and old newspapers in the study)
- Magnum: Re-living old campaigns, Higgins? (laughs)
- Higgins: Actually, no. Mr. Masters asked me to do some research for his next novel, a portion of which is set in Hawaii during World War II.
- Magnum: It's already been written, Higgins. It's called 'From Here to Eternity' and I think it just about covers it.
- Higgins: I find it particularly offensive that you used them to wash down an order from something called "Macho Taco"!
- Magnum: Higgins, don't do this terrible thing. I am on a case, now if you don't mind.
- Higgins: But, I do mind very much. The very thought of a Chateau du Beaux anywhere near a "Macho Taco"! Really Magnum, civilized people must set some sort of standards. In the final analysis, it's all we got!
- Higgins: My god Magnum, you sound like Perry Mason!
