Perdita Weeks: Juliet Higgins

Quotes 

• 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?

• 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.

• 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.
