Quotes 

• Kurt Miller : I am not saying anything without my counsel here. So book me if you have to.

  [McGarrett turns his head to Danny] 

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Do not say it!... Thank you.

  Steve McGarrett : We book you, it's gonna be for murder one.

• Chin Ho Kelly : You know your dad took me fishing a couple of times. He and some of the vets would rent a boat for the day.

  Steve McGarrett : Where? In Kalalua Bay?

  Chin Ho Kelly : Yeah.

  Steve McGarrett : Oh man! When I was a kid, I *always* wanted him to take me.

  Chin Ho Kelly : Back when I was a rookie, very eager to please, took me 5 minutes to realize it was less about the fishing, and more about the drinking.

  Steve McGarrett : Yeah, that was my dad.

• Danny 'Danno' Williams : My first week out of the academy, we get a call, drive-by shooting. And an 8-year-old kid gets shot in the crossfire. And it is my job to go tell this kid's mother that she has lost her son. I remember that moment. It was brutal. I remember sitting there thinking, "Things have got to get easier," you know?

  Steve McGarrett : Yeah, but it doesn't... I was 16. My mom was late for dinner. Mom was never late. And, uh, the doorbell rang and from the minute I saw that cop's face, I knew right away.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : How'd it happen?

  Steve McGarrett : It was a car accident, drunk driver. You know, my dad used to say he felt sorry for the cop who had to come and tell us. And I never understood what he meant by that, until the day came that I had to do it myself.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : I guess the day you get used to it, is the day you hang it up, right?

  [Steve and Danny both look pensive, draw deep breaths, sigh] 

  Steve McGarrett : Radio?

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Yeah

• Steve McGarrett : Take the tie off. No one on a cruise ship wears a tie.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Oh yes they do. They do it all the time. So they can hang themselves when they get bored.

  Steve McGarrett : Okay, well, put it in your pocket and you can kill yourself later.

• Danny 'Danno' Williams : [During a high speed chase]  All right. May 18, 1996.

  Steve McGarrett : What is that?

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : It's the last time I puked. All right? Don't make me break my streak!

  Steve McGarrett : You will not puke in this car. You will *not* puke in this car! If you're gonna be sick in here, crack that window. This is a loaner.

• Chin Ho Kelly : First rule of Spear Fishing: you kill what you eat, you eat what you kill.

  Steve McGarrett : [Holding up his catch]  Guess what's for lunch today.

• Danny 'Danno' Williams : [to Matinsky]  I do! Alright. I know what it's like to have somebody you love walk away from you.

  Steve McGarrett : What are you doing?

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : What?

  Steve McGarrett : What are you doing? The guy is clearly a psychopath. You're trying to make friends with him. You're trying to *connect*?

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : He's standing right in front of us! He can hear you.

  Steve McGarrett : I see he's standing right here, Danny. But you're a cop. You're not a therapist, you know?

  [Steve lowers his gun and turns halfway to Danny] 

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Hey hey hey! I've been trained for this kind of thing, okay?

  Steve McGarrett : What - what to bore people into submission?

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : [to Matinsky]  Don't listen to him, okay. His idea of communication is - is he drops a witty one-liner and then shoots you in the face. Don't worry about it!

  Steve McGarrett : [to Danny while watching Matinsky from the corner of his eye]  You know what - I might shoot this guy just so he doesn't have to listen to you talk.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Why don't you do your thing? I'll do mine, alright?

  [Steve shoots Matinsky who had lowered the knife he was holding close to the woman's throat since he got confused by their talk] 

• Danny 'Danno' Williams : Wedding and engagement rings. Matinsky took him off his victims. These are trophies of his kills.

  Steve McGarrett : This guy is beyond disturbed, okay? I bet he even eats from the buffet line.

• Nancy Harris : I don't know that I can do this.

  Steve McGarrett : I don't think you can afford not to. You accused your daughter-in-law of some pretty terrible things. She has every reason to hate you right now. But - the truth is she needs you. You both loved him, and despite everything, you're family. That should stand for something.

  Nancy Harris : Do you really think she'll forgive me?

  Steve McGarrett : You'll never know unless you try.

• Steve McGarrett : Okay, uh, why - why would somebody steal my mother's accident report?

  Chin Ho Kelly : Because according to this, it wasn't an accident report.

  Steve McGarrett : What are you talking about, Chin?

  Chin Ho Kelly : It was a homicide.

  Steve McGarrett : You're saying that my mother was murdered?

  Chin Ho Kelly : I think that was what your father was investigating.
