- Rick: TC, what's up? We're getting slaughtered here.
- TC: Listen, bring the infield in. You're playing too deep. That kid that's at the plate right now? Walk him.
- Rick: Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Where are you? Where are you?
- [looking around, he spots Cade nearby shooting the game with his phone's camera]
- Rick: Oh, I see what's going on here.
- [going over]
- Rick: Huh? What, are you scouting? Huh? Come on.
- Cade Jensen: It wasn't my idea, I swear.
- Rick: [taking his phone] Give me that. What's with the backseat coaching, man? I thought you trusted me.
- TC: Yeah, I did. Until you started losing.
- Rick: We're not losing. We're just, you know, on our own unique path to victory.
- TC: Horrible. You're down by three.
- [hearing the crowd react to a play]
- TC: What just happened?
- Rick: They just hit a two-run homer.
- TC: See? I told you to walk that kid.
- Juliet Higgins: All right, so, Kanoa's phone went offline shortly after he left the restaurant three nights ago, so I haven't been able to track his location. But I did find something of note: a change in his financial situation.
- Thomas Magnum: So, Kanoa had money problems?
- Juliet Higgins: No, no, no. Quite the opposite. So, for the last six weeks, he's been making large cash deposits into his bank account.
- Thomas Magnum: So, suspicous finances. That's worth looking into.
- Juliet Higgins: Yeah.
- Thomas Magnum: [getting something from her tone] What? Y-Y-You think that's funny coming from me?
- Juliet Higgins: Yeah, I... I kind of do. Sorry.
- Thomas Magnum: What is your obsession with how I spend money?
- Juliet Higgins: Ah, so you are spending it on something?
- Thomas Magnum: Y-You really need to let it go.
- Juliet Higgins: That Bordeaux is exquisite. The velvety tannins, a hint of cherry and vanilla. I mean, this whole meal is amazing.
- Thomas Magnum: You should get dessert. The souffle is so good.
- Juliet Higgins: Mm. You do rather enjoy the finer things.
- Thomas Magnum: And?
- Juliet Higgins: Well, I just wonder why it is that you don't more often. You make good money, and yet you live like a man who's just scraping by. And I just wonder why that is.
- Thomas Magnum: I'm just thrifty. That's it. Been that way since I was a kid.
- Juliet Higgins: [not entirely convinced] Hmm.
- Thomas Magnum: What?
- Juliet Higgins: I don't know. Are you hiding something?
- Thomas Magnum: No. I'm frugal. What?
- Juliet Higgins: Hmm, perhaps you're spending all your money on vintage Detroit Tigers memorabilia.
- Nicky 'The Kid' DeMarco: [Rick is coaching a youth baseball team] Ricky, I don't care what you say. That kid is not 12 years old. Call a time-out right now and ask to see his birth certificate.
- Rick: Nicky, the kid's 12 years old. I'm not gonna ask him for his birth certificate.
- Nicky 'The Kid' DeMarco: Okay, but that hitters are crowding the base.
- Rick: I agree. I agree.
- Nicky 'The Kid' DeMarco: Why doesn't our pitcher pop him one?
- Rick: This is a youth league. We don't beanball kids in the youth league. What's the matter with you? Settle down.
- Rick: [holding a championship trophy] Hey! Coach! Huh? Thought you'd want to see this.
- TC: I already saw it. I got about a million texts from the kids and their parents last night after you guys won. But now's not the time. I told you I had P.T.
- Rick: I know, but I just got this funny feeling today's the day you're gonna make it across those bars.
- TC: I don't know why today would be any different than yesterday.
- Rick: Well, as a wise coach once said to me, teamwork makes the dream work.
- [calling outside]
- Rick: Hey! Get in here, you little rugrats!
- Milo: This is our signature macadamia coconut potato gratin. Please.
- Juliet Higgins: All right.
- Thomas Magnum: Signature dish.
- Milo: Mm-hmm.
- Thomas Magnum: [taking a bite] That is delicious.
- Milo: Yes, delicious... but it should be life-changing. That's what it said in our two Michelin-star review, and that's what people expect when they come here.
- Juliet Higgins: And the potatoes are not life-changing tonight because?
- Milo: My Executive Chef suddenly stopped coming to work. Kanoa Clark has been MIA since closing two nights ago. He's not at home. He doesn't answer his phone.
- Juliet Higgins: So you suspect foul play.
- Milo: Yeah.
- Juliet Higgins: Does he have any enemies that you're aware of?
- Milo: Yeah. Half the kitchen staff. Kanoa is a brilliant chef, but he demands perfection, so people take that personally.
- Juliet Higgins: We do need to figure out where Kanoa is getting his cash from in case it has some bearing on his disappearance.
- Thomas Magnum: I agree, and the best way to do that is to get his coworkers talking with their guards down.
- Juliet Higgins: You're talking about going undercover? I mean, we were just at the restaurant last night. Someone could recognize us.
- Thomas Magnum: Yeah, which is why I think we should send Kumu in as a bartender.
- Juliet Higgins: No, she's got some project at the cultural center.
- Thomas Magnum: Well, there is one more option.
- Juliet Higgins: Seriously?
- Thomas Magnum: What? He's a foodie, and he's probably the best cook we know.
- Gordon Katsumoto: [cut to his kitchen] Me? Undercover. At Chez Aloha.
- Juliet Higgins: Gordon, we know it is a lot to ask, and it's probably not what you want to be doing on your day off, but...
- Gordon Katsumoto: Yeah, I'm in.
- Juliet Higgins: Really?
- Gordon Katsumoto: You two want me to work as a chef in one of the top restaurants in the country, and all I have to do is ask the staff a few questions?
- Thomas Magnum: That's it.
