- Steve McGarrett: Yeah, I love cats. Who doesn't love cats? They're awesome. They're like little adorable ninjas. They're smart. They're fast. And they're cute and cuddly at the same time.
- Steve McGarrett: Tell her you need another 24 hours to get the money.
- Barry Burns: I already stalled her once. If I don't give her the money, she'll shoot me in the face!
- Steve McGarrett: That's a risk we're willing to take.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: [Draws his gun as a cat runs by out of nowhere] Whoa!
- Steve McGarrett: Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you- what is the matter with you?
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: What's the matter with me? The thing jumped out of nowhere. I got scared. What do you want?
- Steve McGarrett: What do I want you to do? Maybe react like a grown man. How 'bout that? It's a cat.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: Okay. Lemme explain something to you that you do not know.
- [Points at himself]
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: I don't like-
- [Looks down, realizes he is pointing his own gun at his chest and holsters his weapon]
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: I don't like cats.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: [Walks to the window that has a view of their female suspect] We got a situation here.
- Steve McGarrett: [Follows Danny] What do we got?
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: [Their female suspect is stripping down to her underwear. They start talking over each other] I mean this...? What do we do? I mean, I don't- What's the protocol here? Do we watch? Do we not watch?
- Steve McGarrett: [In a very reasonable tone] That's what we're here for. We gotta watch.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: It's our job as far as I'm concerned...
- Steve McGarrett: I mean, I don't- It's not like...
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: [She pulls the curtains closed and they suddenly stop talking, sighing in disappointment] Lost visual.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: You called a drug dealer to find Mr. Pickles?
- Steve McGarrett: And why did I have to do that, Danny?
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: No, no, no. Don't do this, okay? It's not my fault. It's your fault.
- Steve McGarrett: How is this *my* fault, Mr. Pickles got out? You're the reason. You left the window open.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: Well, I wouldn't have had to leave the window open if you hadn't decided it was a good idea to make a microwave omelet!
- Steve McGarrett: You know what? This whole passive aggressive thing? I'm done. I'm tired. It's tiring.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: Alright, let's do *aggressive* aggressive! You want that?
- Steve McGarrett: [Danny just gave him a guitar] Hey, man, thank you.
- [as Danny walks around his car to the passenger side]
- Steve McGarrett: Oh, listen, by the way.
- [Steve tosses the keys to Danny]
- Steve McGarrett: Why don't you drive?
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: I drive. Wow. Definitely a break through, Steven.
- Steve McGarrett: Don't get too excited, alright. I'm still controlling the radio.
- [They get in, and Steve tunes the radio to classic rock. The Boys Are Back in Town starts playing as they drive away]
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: [In an apartment on a stakeout] It smells in here. It's like, uh, loneliness... and despair.
- Steve McGarrett: It's moth balls.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: [He and Steve are shocked at first, then fascinated and can't look away as Emma Mills and Mia Price start making out] Looks like she's giving her more than just a piece of the action, huh?
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: I fell asleep. I miss anything?
- [Steve leans over to their equipment and turns it up so they hear sounds of the two women making love]
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: Apparently not.
- Steve McGarrett: They stopped for a water break about a half an hour ago.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: That's good. You gotta stay hydrated.
- Steve McGarrett: Very important.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: [They see the women's shadows through the curtains next door] See this... this is bad for us men in general. This is what gives us a bad name. Twenty, thirty minutes. That includes a drink. Takes us three hours.
- Steve McGarrett: Impossible.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: They make us look terrible.
- Steve McGarrett: It's impossible.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: We can't do this.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: I have seen you personally put yourself in every conceivable life-threatening situation without batting an eye. Like it's nothing. But, when it comes to talking about your feelings, forget about it. You'd rather choose cyanide.
- [Steve looks away]
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: Huh? Forget it. Wake me up if they stop, or do something interesting... open up that curtain.
- Steve McGarrett: [after a long pause] You wanna know why I don't play guitar anymore?
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: Yes. I would like to know why you don't play guitar anymore.
- Steve McGarrett: [Another pause] Tenth grade talent show. I signed up to perform. I practiced this song every day for months and months, and the day finally came around. I was standing in the wings. My guitar was in tune. They called me my name. I walked out on stage... and turned around and looked at all those people... And I couldn't do it... I couldn't do it, so I walked off and I never played the guitar again.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: That's it?
- Steve McGarrett: That's it.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: Tenth grade. You had stage fright. So, you never played the guitar again?
- Steve McGarrett: I didn't have stage fright. It was bigger than that. I'm tellin' you, man, it was a, uh... I don't know. I guess it was an existential crisis. I just, in that moment, I couldn't handle... the, the vulnerability that I was experiencing. I couldn't handle how *exposed*... I felt. I felt like I couldn't breathe, and I thought it was gonna kill me. Look, man. I was raised differently than you, okay? I wasn't raised in a house with a supportive family, encouraging me to share my feelings. And, in your case, every feeling. The McGarrett men are a different breed. They- To them, showing emotions is showing weakness. You know? I mean, it's stupid, but it's just the way it is.
- Danny 'Danno' Williams: I understand that. I just figured after everything we've been through... you know... your father, my brother. Everything. I figured maybe I was, you know... somebody that you could open up to, is all.
- Steve McGarrett: I just did.
- Steve McGarrett: I gotta go, guys. I got somethin' with Danny I gotta take care of.
- Lou Grover: You late for an argument? Oh, the marriage counselor! How's that goin'?
- Kono Kalakaua: Yeah, you rekindling your romance?
