- Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: [Magnum is "playing" the saxophone] Magnum... Magnum!... Magnum!
- Thomas Sullivan Magnum, IV: Hi, Higgins!
- Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
- Thomas Sullivan Magnum, IV: Cute, Higgins, real cute.
- [plays sax again]
- Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: Why, Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
- Thomas Sullivan Magnum, IV: Higgins, I'll have you know I was very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band.
- Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: Well, how many sax players were there?
- Thomas Sullivan Magnum, IV: Anyway, I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
- Jonathan Quayle Higgins III: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
- Thomas Sullivan Magnum, IV: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me?
- Cousin Marina Pepesco: You're not implying that I might have killed Wilson?
- Thomas Sullivan Magnum, IV: You just did.
- [summarily gets drink tossed into his face, then chuckles]
- Thomas Sullivan Magnum, IV: Marina, you've seen too many old Bette Davis movies.
