Quotes[]

(at the mansion, Tracy is treating Magnum's bruised face with cold compresses)
Tracy Spencer: You know, I mean this in the very best sort of way, but have you ever considered taking a self-defense course?
Magnum: They were women!
Tracy Spencer: That's my point... poor thing.
(Tracy absently presses the compresses to her face. Higgins walks in)
Higgins: Oh, good, Magnum, you're here because...
Higgins: (to Tracy) Good lord, are you alright?
Tracy Spencer: Oh no, I'm fine.
Magnum: (angrily) Is SHE alright? Is she alright? Higgins, look at my body!
Higgins: I'm not blind, Magnum. I can see that you look like bloody hell. Actually though, this is a minor beating compared to some you've taken. On a relative scale, it merely counts as a "dusting up". I remember doing my first tour of duty in India...
(as usual, Higgins launches into one of his boring stories, this time about his first trip to India)
