Jack Lord: Det. Steve McGarrett

Quotes 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : Book 'em, Chin.

• Attorney General : Your plan's no good, Steve. You can't use kid gloves on a rogue cop.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Phil Kalama's no rogue cop.

  Attorney General : The facts say otherwise.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : The facts say he's a grieving father.

  Attorney General : He's still a cop, Steve. And no peace officer has the right to use his badge or his gun to... to work out his own personal problems.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : We all know that, sir, but we have no proof that he's doing it.

  Attorney General : You yourself said that he roughed up Morgan. There's an eyewitness who said she saw Kalama push Nat Keller off the stairway of a ten-story building. Now, what more do you want?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Proof. Proof!

  Attorney General : You know the code, Steve. Phil Kalama's a cop.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : He's more. He's a *good* cop. Twenty-three years on the force. I don't want that twenty-three years destroyed. I don't want Phil Kalama destroyed.

  Attorney General : Better he be destroyed than the public trust in every man that wears a badge.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I'm trying to preserve that trust, by preventing the crucifixion of an innocent man.

  Attorney General : If he's innocent.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : "If" he's innocent? Don't we *assume* he's innocent until proven guilty?

• Det. Steve McGarrett : What have we got, Danno?

  Danny : Heartbreaker. Two guys get out of a parked car, start clobbering Joey Kalama. No reason.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Always a reason, Danno.

• Lois Walker : That rock ya a little, McGarrett? Joey and I planning to get married?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Nothing rocks me anymore, honey.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : You'll make a good cop one of these days, Danno.

• Phil Kalama : [Talking about Joey]  Steve, against Torilino Joey was supposed to lose... It was a fixed fight, but he got off the floor, Steve, Didn't he?... He got off the floor to win... He coulda been a champ.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I'm sorry, Phil... He made a crooked deal and he wouldn't go through with it, and you know it... Now that's the truth you got to face up to.
