Quotes 

• Magnum : Well, uh... good luck on your next novel.

  Jessica Fletcher : Oh, and good luck on your next investigatiion.

• Magnum : And what about the guy who was following her?

  Police Captain Frank Browning : Who told you about him?

  Magnum : I'm the one who saw him. I guess the next of kin didn't bother to tell you that.

  Police Captain Frank Browning : She just said that the bum that ID'd the car was too inept to get a license number.

• Magnum : Well, maybe you should just explain what she was doing here.

  Arthur Houston : She's never been here. But one idiot claims he saw her run from this building, and everybody takes him seriously.

  Magnum : She was here.

  Arthur Houston : You're the idiot?

• Jessica Fletcher : Yes. And you ladies probably shouldn't go out until Mr. Magnum has, uh, solved the case.

  Magnum : I'm not on the case.

  Pamela Bates : Oh, yes, you are. If Jessica needs help, then you're hired for muscle, mop-up, whatever.

  Magnum : Muscle? MOP-UP?

  Higgins : Magnum...

  Magnum : No! Higgins, that's it! I have had it! NO MORE ABUSE! Now, I have tried to put up with it because I thought there might be a real problem here! But if there is, nobody wants to talk about it! Amy won't talk! Joan has absolutely nothing to say! And you, Miss Bates, have never even offered a reason why somebody would want to kill you! AND I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S BEEN SHOT AT!

  Higgins : Magnum, sit down and be calm.

  Magnum : Higgins, stop treating me like a child! I'M AN ADULT! NO MORE ABUSE!
