Edward Asner: August March

Quotes 

• Danny 'Danno' Williams : [to March]  Buddy, I hope you're wearing sunblock.

  August March : [not bothered]  Skin cancer? Bring it on, at my age it doesn't matter. You know, the one regret I have, having lived on this island my whole life is I never learned to surf.

  Steve McGarrett : It's never too late to start.

  August March : Tell that to my knees.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Tell it to the rest of your body too.

  [March looks at him, annoyed] 

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : I'm just saying.

  August March : Yeah, say it to yourself, Blondy.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Well you basically called yourself old when we sat down.

  August March : Yeah, yeah, that's my business. As an aging man, my time is at a premium, so what brings you here or did you just wanna sit here, posing as garage sale bookends?

  Steve McGarrett : [shows March the picture on his phone]  Here.

  August March : Wha... . let me guess, you want to know if I know this man?

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Yes.

  Steve McGarrett : Do you?

  August March : What? This is a thing now where you come to me for help?

  Steve McGarrett : A simple yes or no will suffice, March.

  August March : I almost got shot the last time I helped you.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : I almost get shot everyday, it's no fun, I agree.

  Steve McGarrett : Listen, March. Your help brought down a diamond smuggling ring.

  August March : Yeah, according to the papers, those diamonds disappeared along with the killer of your suspect.

  Steve McGarrett : We'll find the shooter, we always do.

  August March : [smug, as he was the shooter]  Oh, yeah. Obviously, the girl was in over her head. Which brings us back to why you're here with a picture of a dead man on your phone.

  Steve McGarrett : Anything you tell us is confidential, you know that.

  August March : [glances at the pic on Steve's phone]  No, I do not know this man. Enjoy the rest of your day.

  Steve McGarrett : Well, we're not done.

  August March : [sarcastically]  Oh, joy.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : OK, did you hear about the art gallery robbery this morning?

  August March : [defensive]  I was here all morning.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : That was not an accusation.

  August March : Huh, sorry, habit.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : An art gallery was hit this morning on Alla Moana. An HPD officer was killed, alright? That dead guy on the phone, he was part of the crew that took down the score.

  August March : Sounds like sloppy work to me.

  Steve McGarrett : It was sloppy. Sloppy and stupid. These guys went to a lot of trouble to get their hands on $30 000 worth of lithographs.

  [March makes a funny face] 

  Steve McGarrett : Does that sound strange to you?

  August March : Well, it all depends on the quality of the lithos. If these mutts knew what they were doing, the art can be aged and re-framed and then sold as originals to uh, naive new money types.

  Steve McGarrett : OK, so if I wanted to unload something like that, who would I go to see to broker a deal?

  August March : The only fence I know is yours truly and as you know, I'm out of the business. But because I'm willing to do you two nudniks a favor and I cherish my me time and hope that you'll soon disappear, I'll make a few inquiries.

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : Good, thank you: did you, uh, say "me time?"

  August March : Yeah, I said me time. Starting now. It's my subtle way of saying "bugger off".

  Danny 'Danno' Williams : OK.
