Notes[]

'Manu-hooks' figuratively refers to fingers (man-hooks) or claws (bird hooks) ie. getting her hands/grip on the money, and to Malory’s none too subtle possessive sexual relations - which is a perpetual source of annoyance to Archer - with her Polynesian employee, Manu. The context of the utterance is that Archer would rather die than receive her help as he wants to use the money from the idol to escape Malory: if she gets the money he doesn't stand a chance.
