Magnum : And there'll be... all sorts of people, blue bloods and all that?
Higgins : Precisely. Which is why I want to talk to you.
Magnum : Don't bother, Higgins. I already know what you're going to say.
Higgins : You do?
Magnum : Sure. You don't want to seem... impolite or insensitive, but you'd really rather I'd make myself scarce during the day of the auction, in exchange for which you will *undoubtedly* make some kind of... minor concession regarding the car or the wine cellar or the tennis court, right?
Higgins : Sometimes you amaze me, Magnum. Truly. Your intuitive grasp of human nature is so... so...
Magnum : Perceptive?
Higgins : Pre-adolescent!

Higgins : [has something on his mind] I say, Magnum!
Magnum : [back from canoe paddle] Higgins! You'll be interested in this. The strangest thing just happened. I was sailing along just as slick as you please, and all of a sudden, I just fell off!
[laughs]
Magnum : This was weird! And then I couldn't get back on the thing. It's the strangest thing!
Higgins : Magnum, I keep hoping against hope that at some propitious juncture you'll recognize that there are more important things in life than your aquatic pursuits.
Magnum : Forget it.

Magnum : Nice set of wheels.
Higgins : A Rolls Royce is considerably more than 'a nice set of wheels', Magnum.
