- Captain Grant Mathews: You engaged an enemy who outnumbered and outarmed you and you were victorious?
- Lieutenant Commander Joe White: Yes, sir. "Adapt and overcome." That's our motto.
- Captain Grant Mathews: And you entered hostile territory on a decommissioned helicopter that by most estimates would be considers unmaneuverable let alone battle ready?
- Lieutenant Commander Joe White: I had the help of an experienced civilian pilot, sir.
- Captain Grant Mathews: You're saying you proceeded without the aide of any other active members of the military?
- Lieutenant Commander Joe White: Yes, sir.
- Captain Grant Mathews: Lt. Commander, under most circumstances, I would be pinning a Silver Star on your lapel. Unfortunately, those are not the circumstances we find ourselves in today. Is there anything, you'd like to say in your defense?
- Lieutenant Commander Joe White: Lt. Commander McGarrett was in trouble. I did what was needed to get him home. I would do it again if I had to.
- Lieutenant Commander Joe White: [to his cellphone] It's me. We've got a problem. Steve is getting too close. We're going to have to move you.
- Steve McGarrett: This my fault, Joe.
- Lieutenant Commander Joe White: No, my actions are my responsibility. So how about you treat me to a shrimp jumbalaya, and we'll call it square?
- Steve McGarrett: Let me tell you something, okay? You're the only man on the planet who would see shrimp jambalya as a fair trade to the end of his career, you know that?
- Lieutenant Commander Joe White: I spent half my life serving my country, and I'm proud of it. No regrets.
- Lori Weston: Ken Nakoa. We just put him away for carjacking.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: Nice to see that our justice system is following through
- Chin Ho Kelly: Yeah, he's out on bail. But he's wearing a court ordered ankle monitor.
- Governor Denning: What makes you think if you deliver they'll release the hostages?
- Steve McGarrett: ...We don't.
- Lori Weston: But right now, it's the only way we can buy enough time to find those kids.
- Steve McGarrett: They did it. And they didn't just blow up the drugs. They blew up our evidence.
- Lori Weston: Destroying evidence makes sense if we have a high value suspect in custody. But that bust we made on the docks, we didn't get anybody worth this much trouble.
- Steve McGarrett: Or did we?
- Female Kidnapper: [after shooting a hostage in the leg] You said you wanted proof the hostages were alive. Hear those screams? That's your proof.
