TC has lots of funny lines. Another one is in Almost Home (3.11), when looking in the window of the building where the "Intra Pacific Imports" truck is parked. He's not really wanting to participate and he says "There are about 19 or 20 guys all over 250 pounds, let's go in."

But "Pickled egg, please." could be my favorite also. Then after Magnum fishes out the stinky egg, TC, acting all customer like, says "How stupid of me. I must've forgotten my wallet." And that's the third day in a row he's done that! :D

A very shocked Higgins, when he and TC open the door and Jennifer is there.

So this may not be a quote but the sheer smile on Higgins' face and his little jog make up for it. I just thought it was funny and had to share!

Very clever, Artie.............Heck, half the time I can barely add a still picture! I'm thinking that scene is from Infinity and Jelly Donuts, when Magnum comes out of the coma......

That's a great clip there Artie! :)

Yep. And Higgins runs to tell the "gang" that Magnum has awoken. This scene, more than any other, really shows you how much Higgins cares for Magnum. He's like a son to him.
Higgins: It's not a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!

When TC is in the chopper with the Marquis in Italian Ice...

"I can get a headstart on the competition by learning some Italian, I know some of it...Si...Bongiorno....Adios muchacho..

HAHA


Also laughed at TM's pronunciation of bongiorno at the villa when he got passed the lady feeling the cats. He said "bon'jeer'no"

Cracks me up all the time, especially being Italian..

The wink TC gives Higgins in this scene is priceless.

Another great one is when Rick is being evasive about how he got the black eye in "The Taking Of Dick McWilliams", "She was a BIG nun!"
"But Higgins, I can explain."

Heal Thyself when he's trying to pin down Jorgenson whose shooting at him...

"I knew if he had a revolver he only had 6 shots. Course if he had an automatic he could have 7...or 8. Then he could have one of those 13 shot automatics. Or he could have two guns. Oh well......"

I wonder what I would do it I was being shot at......

Great additions guys. I love it.

From "Dead Man's Channel"....

Higgins: Magnum, are you telling me the animal in question is...
Magnum: A goat.
Higgins: A wild goat?
Magnum: Tame, a child's pet and its name is "Horace". Now, you can't shoot an animal when you know its name.
Higgins: How did a goat get on Robin Masters' estate? .... withdraw the question. Remove the creature immediately.
Magnum: Come on Higgins, just another day. One more and I'll....
Higgins: You'll what?
Magnum: I'll give up the tennis courts.
Higgins: You don't have the tennis courts!
Higgins: It's not a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!

Higgins has many great one liners. He makes me laugh quite often with his retorts to Magnum.
