Magnum: [narrating] Here in paradise, there are at least three different ways of looking at time; There's the traditional mainland kind of time � people say "let's meet at eight o'clock", and that's more or less what they mean. Then there's Hawaiian time, which is a lot more... flexible � eight o'clock may mean seven... or nine... or not at all... depending on an infinite variety of factors. However, even in paradise, there's also a time-frame which seems to operate on a mysterious circadian rhythm all it's own � bureaucratic time; Roughly, that translates into "stand in line until we're ready for you, and then do it our way, or not at all.
