Quotes 

• Thomas Magnum : Morning, boys.

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : Oh, hell no. We agreed to help put together your barbecue. You ain't say nothing about slaughtering no damn chickens.

  Thomas Magnum : Relax, we're not gonna kill Beaker and Chick Norris. This is just my payment for the Kawailoa job.

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : Curious, do you even take cash anymore?

• Theodore 'TC' Calvin : [hearing a truck beeping nearby]  What's that?

  Thomas Magnum : I have no idea.

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : Wait a minute. That's four words that the head of security here should never say.

  Thomas Magnum : [turning to leave]  I'll be right back.

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : You know what? Twenty bucks says he planned that just to get out of helping us.

• Thomas Magnum : How did the tow truck get ahold of the Ferrari?

  Juliett Higgins : It was simple, really. They just fit brackets to the wheels so that the towing mechanism can safely lift the car onto the back of the truck.

  Kumu : What'd you think? They yank it up with a big hook like in the cartoons?

  Thomas Magnum : No, I mean, like, why did they tow it away?

  Juliett Higgins : Well, that's also simple. After you damaged the Ferrari, the check that you cut for the repairs bounced. So the Ferrari's gonna remain repossessed until you can pay the debt.

  Thomas Magnum : Well, clearly, I just needed a little more time. Why didn't you cover me?

  Juliett Higgins : I think he's missing the point here, Kumu.

• Thomas Magnum : Look, all you had to do was not open the gate and let the tow truck in, right? Kumu?

  Kumu : I'm staying out of this. Think of me as Hawaiian Switzerland.

  Thomas Magnum : The Ferrari is Robin's property. Your job is to literally look after his property.

  Juliett Higgins : With the exception of the Ferrari, which he entrusted to you, making it your responsibility.

  Thomas Magnum : Oh, okay, I get it. This is some, I don't know, bizarro-twisted way of teaching me a lesson.

  Juliett Higgins : A lesson in responsibility that is well-deserved and long overdue. I mean, now you have to tell Robin about why he's got one less Ferrari.

  Thomas Magnum : You know, you're treating me like I'm twelve years old.

  Juliett Higgins : [scoffing laugh]  I would never. I mean, you have nowhere near the maturity of a twelve year old.

  Thomas Magnum : She's just doing this to mess with me.

  Juliett Higgins : That's not true. Part of my job as majordomo of this estate is keeping the employees at Robin's Nest accountable. I'm just doing my job.

  Thomas Magnum : Then why are you smiling?

• Travis Leet : Your job is to track down a man named Skip Jenkins. These dossiers have everything you need to know about him. He skipped bail, and I have 24 hours to bring him in.

  Thomas Magnum : Uh, wait, so a guy named Skip skipped bail?

  Luther H. Gillis : [everyone laughs]  Really? My joke was way funnier than that.

• Luther H. Gillis : You go from a red Ferrari to a turquoise Vespa? You realize P.I.s are supposed to be inconspicuous, right?

  Thomas Magnum : I take what I can get.

  Luther H. Gillis : Not me. My Honda Accord was voted most boring car by at least four different websites.

  Willa Stone : If you didn't notice, he's proud of that fact.

• Juliett Higgins : Should I even ask how you two got into this predicament?

  Thomas Magnum : Well, long story short, Luther's kind of a terrible mentor.

  Luther H. Gillis : I'm disappointed in Willa, but oddly... also kind of proud.

  Thomas Magnum : Yeah, we gotta ping her cell phone, see if we can get that laptop back. Higgins, could you...

  Juliett Higgins : Happy to help.

  Thomas Magnum : Wow. That was... easier than I thought. It's almost like you actually care.

  Juliett Higgins : I care about Sergeant Howl, Magnum, not about you.

  Thomas Magnum : Whatever works.

• Detective Gordon Katsumoto : [hearing the mayor is on the phone]  Hello?

  Thomas Magnum : Katsumoto.

  Detective Gordon Katsumoto : I should've known.

  Thomas Magnum : [snickering]  I'm sorry, man. I... I really needed to talk to you, and I didn't want you screening my call.

• Detective Gordon Katsumoto : What do you want, Magnum?

  Thomas Magnum : Well, I am, uh, working on a case...

  Detective Gordon Katsumoto : You're tracking down Skip Jenkins.

  Thomas Magnum : How'd you know?

  Detective Gordon Katsumoto : Because every P.I. and bounty hunter in town is tracking down Skip Jenkins.

  Thomas Magnum : Eh, come on, admit it. Out of all the private investigators on the island, I think you hate me the least.

  Detective Gordon Katsumoto : It's debatable.

• Juliett Higgins : So, what is on this laptop, exactly?

  Thomas Magnum : I don't know.

  Juliett Higgins : You had TC get into an accident for no reason at all?

  Thomas Magnum : No, it's connected to Barry's cloud. I want to see what his recent activity was before he was murdered.

  Juliett Higgins : Why didn't you just say that?

• Thomas Magnum : Hey, Higgy, uh, can you do me a favor and track someone down?

  Juliett Higgins : Again? Who is it this time?

  Thomas Magnum : Me.

  Juliett Higgins : Thomas, what have you gotten yourself into?

  Thomas Magnum : A crate with about 200 pounds of cocaine.

• Juliett Higgins : You kept your promise. I hope that makes up for the fact there's no reward.

  Thomas Magnum : Absolutely.

  Juliett Higgins : Maybe now he'll be able to get a little more closure.

  Thomas Magnum : Yeah. I think so. You know, my, um... my mom passed away when I was in Afghanistan. She had been... sick for a while, but, uh... she passed while I was in captivity.

  Juliett Higgins : You missed her funeral.

  Thomas Magnum : Yeah. I didn't even know she died until after I was released.

  Juliett Higgins : That's why you were willing to sacrifice the reward. You knew how important it was to him.

• Thomas Magnum : [narrating]  I have a pretty good track record following my gut, and right now, my gut says Skip could be telling the truth.

  Skip Jenkins : Look, I-I know it's your job to bring me in, but if you care about who really killed Billy, I think the answer's in that warehouse.

  Thomas Magnum : [narrating]  I know this job came from a bail bondsman, but the second I made a promise to Sergeant Howl, he became my client. My promise to him wasn't to bring Skip in for a big reward. It was to get justice for his dad.
