Quotes[]

T.C.: Only someone who is tall, black and beautiful would call themselves a "Fox".

Rick: Twenty bucks says you're wrong, even money.
Magnum: Twenty bucks?
Rick: Put your money where your mouth is. (smiles)
Magnum: Well, I'm a little tapped out right now.
T.C.: Now there's a news flash.
Magnum: What with all the party expenses and all. I tell ya what, I'm expecting a check from a client, if you can trust me you got a bet.
Rick: Ok, you're on.

Holly Hudson: It's always been like this, even in 'Nam. Everybody had some idea about who I was, who they wanted me to be. They hear my voice on the radio, they think they know me.
Magnum: They want to know you.
Holly Hudson: No, they don't! No....they don't. They don't want to know me, Holly Hudson. They want to know some larger than life fantasy.
Magnum: Kinda goes with the terretory.
Holly Hudson: Yeah, well I'm changing terretories.

Ralph: Mr. Magnum, thanks for the invite. This English ale's got the kick of a Molokai mule. And any time you wanna break into a place I'm guarding...Open sesame!

Magnum: Higgins, don't ever sneak up on somebody like that, ever!
Higgins: I was hardly "sneaking".
