Magnum, P.I./Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In the episode "J. Digger Doyle", the ROBIN-2 car is driven back to the Masters estate by a random man who says Higgins resigned from Robin's service, purchased a one-way ticket to London, and gave the man the keys to drive the car back to the estate. The man gives an accurate description of Higgins, but Magnum and company suspect that the man had talked to an imposter, and that the real Higgins may be in trouble. Rick chimes in thusly:

Rick: Did he tip you?
Man: Twenty bucks.
Rick: It's NOT Higgins, Thomas.

    • From the same episode, when they rescue a drowsy Higgins (who is under the effect of a truth serum) from a holding cell:

Magnum: Higgins, you okay? It's me, Magnum.
Higgins: [drowsily] Zeus, Apollo...kill.

Magnum: [[[Beat]]] Must be a reflex action...

  • Magnum, locked out of the guest house (again...), trying to pick the lock as Zeus and Apollo approach.

Magnum: Look at the lock, don't look at the dogs; look at the lock, don't look at the dogs... You looked at the dogs!
