• [last lines] 

  Higgins : Magnificent cymbidiums in Maine... In the proper season, of course.

• [first lines] 

  Higgins : "Echoes of Ecstasy". Mr. Masters had hoped to complete it in time to be here for your arrival. But he feels confident that he'll finish the final pages today and leave Greece this evening.

• 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!
