Jay Hernandez: Thomas Magnum

Quotes 

• Juliet Higgins : Can you kindly step on it, Thomas? According to the security footage that I just hacked, Gary Perez has left early for his morning jog, which gives us only 30 minutes to infiltrate his place, do the repo, and get out.

  Thomas Magnum : Relax. We have plenty of time. I can hotwire a Stingray in my sleep. It's gonna be a cakewalk.

  Juliet Higgins : You didn't see the client e-mail, did you?

  [cut to them in Perez's house looking at a fish tank] 

  Thomas Magnum : I can't believe he meant stingray, the fish.

  Juliet Higgins : Well, had you read the client's e-mail properly, that would have been abundantly clear.

• Thomas Magnum : I didn't know you had a laptop, Kumu.

  Kumu : It's 2023, Thomas. Pretty sure you're the only one who doesn't.

  Thomas Magnum : That's what I have Higgy for.

• Thomas Magnum : [he and Higgins have been temporarily keeping a client's stingray at La Mariana]  Rick is not gonna be happy.

  Juliet Higgins : Where are all the fish?

  Thomas Magnum : Maybe they're hiding.

  Kumu : Yeah, I don't think so.

  Juliet Higgins : But, I mean, stingrays generally only eat crustaceans and other invertebrates.

  Thomas Magnum : Well, tell that to the pufferfish.

  Kumu : I don't get it. Wouldn't your client have mentioned that something like this could happen?

  Thomas Magnum : [seeing Higgins' look and chuckling]  Looks like somebody didn't read the e-mail. Hmm?

  Kumu : Who's gonna tell Rick? 'Cause it sure as hell isn't gonna be me.

  Thomas Magnum : You know, if... if we replace the fish, Rick never has to know, right? I mean, there's gotta be a pet store open somewhere.

  Juliet Higgins : I'm driving.

• Juliet Higgins : So, how's TC doing?

  Thomas Magnum : Unavailable. Again.

  Rick : You know, you'd think they'd come up with a different excuse to hide the fact that he's avoiding us.

  Juliet Higgins : I'm worried about him.

  Thomas Magnum : Yeah, we all are.

  Rick : Apparently, we're not the only ones. I guess he's ghosting his mother, too.

  Thomas Magnum : Really? How'd you hear about that?

  Rick : Well, she called the bar, and I said TC was still at the rehab facility, and that was news to her.

  Juliet Higgins : She didn't know he was there?

  Rick : She didn't even know he'd been shot.

• Thomas Magnum : I can't believe we're trying to repo a fish. I don't know, Nemo seems a bit below our pay grade.

  Juliet Higgins : Need I remind you that you once recovered a stolen tuna fish?

  Thomas Magnum : Yeah, worth $350,000.

  Juliet Higgins : Yeah. Okay, so maybe this one isn't quite in that range, but it is extremely rare. It retails for over $100,000, and we get 10% commission of that, so...
