Quotes 

• Abe : Henry, breakfast is getting cold.

  [No reaction from Henry] 

  Abe : I'm gonna microwave it

  Henry Morgan : Absolutely not. You know how I feel. The microwave is for food what the cellphone is to conversation. It destroy the very thing it wishes to help

  Abe : Oh, calm down. We don't even own a microwave

• Abe : [Telephone rings]  Who's that?

  Henry Morgan : [Looks at his pocket watch, sighs]  It's 9 o'clock. The average murder victims are discovered between 8 and 8.30. Jo and Hanson most likely have arrived at the scene

  [picks up phone horn] 

  Henry Morgan : Hello detective

  Jo Martinez : Hey Henry. I am in Central Park. We found one of yours.

  Henry Morgan : Mine?

  Jo Martinez : Yeah, an aristocrat

• Jo Martinez : He's royalty

  Henry Morgan : The title of viscount is that of a noble, not a royal. There is a difference

  Jo Martinez : Not in New York

  Detective Hanson : 20 minutes I am on hold with this embassy. Doc, doesn't your country care if one of your royals gets got?

  Henry Morgan : Noble! He's a... does no one understand the difference between nobility and royalty?

  Detective Hanson : What? What did he say?

  Henry Morgan : Never mind

• Jo Martinez : Something is off here! An English noble takes a stroll through Central Park in the middle of the night. Somebody stabs him to death, but doesn't take his wallet? This story doesn't make sense

  Henry Morgan : Well, neither does the history. In 1869 Queen Victory revoked Lord Marcel Cavendish's nobility when he stabbed a man to death in a house of ill repute. 6 months later the former Lord was killed in a duel. In fact, the entire Cavendish family died out by 1881.

  Jo Martinez : Hmm. I thought you'd like this case

  Henry Morgan : This man is neither a viscount nor a Cavendish. He's an imposter

  Detective Hanson : [Rushes enthusiastic to Jo and Henry]  Jo? Get this: British Embassy's has got no record of nobility for anyone named Colin Cavendish. The guy is a complete imp...

  [disappointed] 

  Detective Hanson : Henry already figured this out, didn't he?

  [Jo nods yes] 

• Arturo : [Henry and Jo walking into tailor shop]  Ha, ha, Dr. Morgan! So good to see you. No appointment today?

  Henry Morgan : Actually Arturo, I'd like you to introduce you to my partner. This is...

  Arturo : [Takes Henry by his arm and turns away]  Dr. Morgan, please! You know I don't work with the women! Even if they wear the pantsuit

• Henry Morgan : [Henry is wingman on the funeral of Abe's friend]  Do you see her?

  Abe : No, not yet

  Henry Morgan : At least you can pay your respects to your friend

  Abe : Who?

  Henry Morgan : Lyle

  Abe : Meh. Wait, there she is! Oh, Fawn Mahoney. Hum, what a tomato

  Henry Morgan : Abraham? She's the widow?

  Abe : Did I not tell you that? Oh. She's beautiful! I'll just wait till after the service before I...

  Henry Morgan : Abraham! You are not doing this! I forbid you to flirt with the widow! Your friend's wife!

• Henry Morgan : [about to chase another car]  Abe, quickly

  Abe : Do I have police permission to violate all speeding laws?

  Henry Morgan : Yes

  Jo Martinez : No! Absolutely not!

• Lt. Joanna Reece : That was nice work Henry! As a matter of curiosity, what were you doing in that cemetery?

  Henry Morgan : My roommate is paying respect to an old girlfriend, the widow of the deceased. I was his wingman

  Lt. Joanna Reece : I've got to learn to stop asking you questions

• Lucas Wahl : [Reenacting the murder]  Yeah, I was wondering if I can play the killer this time. I feel like I always play the victim

  Henry Morgan : It's much easier for me to come in character murdering you

  Lucas Wahl : Understood

• Jo Martinez : You know Henry, I thought I was a tough nut to crack. And I mean this with true affection: you are one perplexing man

  Henry Morgan : How so?

  Jo Martinez : You're intensely private, borderline medical savant and you dress pretty well for city work

  Henry Morgan : I suppose it's time I came clean. I'm really Hank Morgan from Ohio

  Jo Martinez : [laughs]  No, no! Your brand of eccentricity will take years to perfect

  Henry Morgan : How about centuries?

  Jo Martinez : Someday you'll let me in, when you're ready.
