“Ghost Writer” quotes from Magnum, P.I.

Magnum

[narrating] I was running late; I'd taken too much time getting dressed; and that's a bad sign – instead of worrying about the job I was going to do for my client, my mind was taken up with picking exactly the right tie; as if it matters.

I like that tie.

Magnum

I was a Naval intelligent.

Oh. You don't seem like the type. The Navy, I mean, not the intelligence.

Magnum

I know what you mean.

You were in the Navy.

Magnum

Yes, I was in the Navy. Uhh... career man, Navy all the way.

What happened?

Magnum

I started asking myself a lot of questions.

And?

Magnum

I'm still asking.

Rick

Alright, I'll do the favor; But let's get one thing straight – I'm not gonna put on ANY dumb disguise, I'm not playing garbage men, delivery men, sewer men, any other kind of men, is that... that's final now, right?

Magnum

Of course.
