Quotes 

• Magnum : [reading Buck's note]  Sorry for the grief, pal, I'm taking off for Asgard. Tell Joan she's a brick, Buck.

  Joan Gibson : Oh, the vanity.

  Magnum : Where is Asgard?

  Joan Gibson : Not where, Magnum, what. Asgard is Norse mythology. It's the home of slain heroes.

• Magnum, : [narrating]  You know, there's some quotations that would make good rules to live by. For instance: never drive behind an old man wearing a hat, or another: it's always brightest just before the storm. If I'd remembered that one, I'd really have been on my guard, because the afternoon it all started, was a truly beautiful day.

• Thomas Sullivan Magnum III : I just said I understood. It's like my friends and I when we remember Vietnam. It was so terrible there, I don't think there's any words to describe it, and yet...

  Joan Gibson : You were never more alive.

  Thomas Sullivan Magnum III : ...Well, it's not that we're old. It's just that we're not young anymore.
