(Magnum drives up in the Ferrari with Margo (Mimi Rogers). He gets out and spits on a large scratch and tries to rub it out)
Magnum: Whaddya think?
Margo: I don't think a little spit is going to fix that.
Magnum: Tell you what, why don't you go on to the guesthouse and I'm going to find Higgins and break the news to him.
Margo: You sure you want to do that?
Magnum: Well...the car was parked, I wasn't anywhere near it, it's not my fault. Higgins will understand that.
(In the study)
Higgins: You irresponsible cretin!
Magnum: Higgins, it' wasn't my fault!
Higgins: It's never your fault, yet Mr. Masters property always looks like it's been salvaged from the rubbish bin.
Magnum: It's just a little scratch!
Higgins: If it was just a scratch you would have tried to rub it out with spit, or something equally disgusting.
Magnum: No, I wouldn't.
(Higgins walks outside and sees the Ferrari)
Higgins: Oh my God! This isn't a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!
Magnum: No, actually a gouge is much deeper.
Higgins: Magnum, I've seen cars come through four years of the Blitz looking better than this.
