Goofs
The helicopter that TC flies is a Hughes 500. The Hughes 500 is powered by an Allison 250-C30, 650 hp turbine engine. When the helicopter is running out of fuel, you hear the engine cut out and come back sputtering a number of times. Turbine (jet) engines do not behave this way when running out of fuel. Turbine engines spool down and try to spin back up, but they don't sputter like a reciprocating engine does.

Quotes
Magnum: [narrates] This morning in paradise was not much better than the one yesterday. In other words, it was perfect. And morning in paradise is the perfect time of day. A quiet run, then a swim. It's a time you're truly alone, a time when you're allowed to fully appreciate the rhythms of living. Besides, Higgins was going to be gone all day, and that made me appreciate the rhythms of living even more.
