- Quotes
Joe Mannix: [sees Vic Stanley walk out of a bedroom in Ellen's broken-in apartment] Hold it!
Ellen Gray: Vic!
Vic Stanley: Ellen, who is this guy?
Ellen Gray: It's all right, Vic. Mr. Mannix is a private investigator.
Vic Stanley: What's he investigating?
Joe Mannix: Among other things, how you got into this house.
Vic Stanley: The door was open when I got here.
Joe Mannix: When was that?
Vic Stanley: Just a few minutes ago. When Ellen didn't answer, I got worried and came in to see if she was all right. Look, I could use a drink. Anyone joining me?
Ellen Gray: Mr. Mannix?
Joe Mannix: No thanks.
Ellen Gray: Vic's the best friend I have. A very good friend.
Joe Mannix: Then you won't mind answering a few questions.
Vic Stanley: About what?
Joe Mannix: Mart Gray. How well did you know him?
Vic Stanley: About as well as any man alive, I guess. Mart and I flew together in Vietnam. We both got out of the Air Force about the same time. Mart went to Hong Kong. I came home.
Joe Mannix: Why did he choose Hong Kong?
Vic Stanley: He had some business offers, I believe.
Joe Mannix: What kind of offers?
Vic Stanley: He never talked about them.
Ellen Gray: Mr. Stanley came to Hong Kong and took care of all the arrangements for me. The police reports, immigration, everything. I'd have been lost without him.
Joe Mannix: Did you know that Mart was in trouble?
Vic Stanley: Not until Ellen told me. It really shook me up, too. I mean, Mart was always a patsy for the easy buck, but... well, I never thought he'd pull anything crooked.
Joe Mannix: What makes you think it was crooked.
Vic Stanley: Oh, come on, Mannix, what else could it be?
Joe Mannix: Did you mention that to the Hong Kong police?
Vic Stanley: Well... no, I never got around to it, but I...
Joe Mannix: Your friend committed suicide, his wife is followed and probably in danger, and you never got around to mentioning it?
Vic Stanley: Now, look, Mannix. You're really jumping...
Ellen Gray: Look!
[sees a man who was stalking her in Hong Kong, who flees. Mannix and Stanley chase after him]
John Considine: I can't get past the bad "too narrow" nose job and the awful overbaked tan which is nearing the kind of face that is banned these days! If you catch my drift and if you don't, check with Julianne Hough. This gives him creepy eyes. His bushy eyebrows are distracting. Just no! They are so different those two, yet so similar in creepy vibes!
What can you say about the plot? Mannix is so boring a show, I check out, when I come back mentally it's long in progress and I have no idea what's going on. Who can keep their attention on this snoozefest? Who can understand what is going on? Who cares?! Really, the characters are all so boring. Mannix was so violent in S1, couldn't stand him. Seems he calmed down quite a bit. I liked Pretty Peggy. Then I learned what she turned to and what a damper that put on all her scenes! (PS: She's a druggy! Or was. She's dead now. Or should be.)
1/10 because I can't stand Kath Jus and she should have never been an actress. Just a shampoo girl who got lucky, boffing some prod, no doubt! The 1 star goes to the cool lampshade somewhere in the mix!
