Quotes
Pua Kai: You don't remember me do you?

Kono Kalakaua: No. I'm sorry, I don't.

Pua Kai: Pua Kai. Pro Bowl weekend last year. I helped you crack a monster case.

Kono Kalakaua: Oh, yeah, right! Now I remember!

Pua Kai: I figured you would. Uh, you may also remember, we kind of had a moment.

Kono Kalakaua: Yeah we did, didn't we... Yeah, and look at you now. You followed through and you became a cop.

Pua Kai: (boasting) Graduated top third of my class.

Kono Kalakaua: Well, I'm not surprised. You seem like a really sharp guy.

Pua Kai: Uh, mind if I ask you something?

Kono Kalakaua: Yeah. Sure.

Pua Kai: How do you feel about workplace romances?

Kono Kalakaua: You mean like, you and me?

Pua Kai: I.. I was just wondering if you'd ever consider dating a colleague. Uh - You like sushi?

Kono Kalakaua: Yeah. I - I love sushi. (letting him down gently) Pua I have a boyfriend.

Pua Kai: (confidently) Scale of one to ten, how serious is it?

Kono Kalakaua: Ten. Look, you're a really sweet guy. I'm very flattered. I really am.

Pua Kai: (saving fae0 Well, in-in case things go sideways with Mr. Ten, I-I'm around but the offer's limited. Once I get my detective shield, I'm, I'm gonna be a pretty hot catch.

Kono Kalakaua: I think you already are.

Steve McGarrett: Well, I mean... a little surprised, given your propensity to blow up relationships.

Danny Williams: My propensity to to blow up-- that's funny coming from the guy whose girlfriend is currently AWOL.

Steve McGarrett: AWOL?

Danny Williams: Yeah.

Steve McGarrett: No. I know where she is. She's on the mainland visiting friends.

Danny Williams: To get away from you.

Steve McGarrett: Go to PT.

Danny Williams: I will.

Steve McGarrett: Enjoy.

Danny Williams: Thanks.

Steve McGarrett: I hope it hurts.

Danny Williams: Uh-huh.

Steve McGarrett: A lot. I love you.

Danny Williams: Love you, too.

Lou Grover: Well, ain't that cute? You waiting for an autographed picture of me and that fish I caught this morning?

Steve McGarrett: No, I'm not, but not bad for a guy in shallow water with a snorkel and a spear gun.

Lou Grover: Not bad?

Steve McGarrett: Yeah, you see, real fishermen, what they do, is they dive out past the jetty, first of all. We free-dive in at least 30 feet of water. We don't use a snorkel. We certainly don't use a fancy spear gun. We use a, uh, hand spear. Do you know what a hand spear is? You ever see one of those before? Yeah?

Lou Grover: Well, excuse me, Jacques Cousteau. You know, jealousy is an ugly cloak, my friend. You do not wear it well.

Steve McGarrett: Jealousy? No, no, no. Look, that fish was probably old, depressed, you know, maybe a little, uh, senile, you know, swimming around looking for a tiger shark to end his days, and then bumped into you.

Lou Grover: A senile, depressed fish?

Steve McGarrett: That's right.

Lou Grover: You are some piece of work, McGarrett, you know that?

Location: Veteran's Affairs Medical Center San Diego, CA

Danny Williams: (Danny sighs) Do me a favor. You hear me complain about my PT ever again, I want you to punch me in the head. Okay?

Steve McGarrett: Okay.

(Waitress comes up to the table carrying a platter with cooked fish on it)

KameKona: Oh Right!

Waitress: Enjoy.

Lou Grover: Mmm! Have mercy. Will you look at my fish? Mm-hmm! She sure does clean up nice, don't she?

Chin Ho Kelly: She sure does.

Lou Grover: Well, uh, listen, ladies and gentlemen, before we dig in, I'd just like to take the time

(Steve rubs his forehead and groans)

Lou Grover: to say a few words about my, uh worthy opponent.

Steve McGarrett: Here we go.

Lou Grover: (sermonizing) To become so strong and mighty, you spent many years in the depths of the ocean,..

(Pua takes off his hat)

Lou Grover: avoiding the nets of the trawlers, dodging the fisherman's spear

Steve McGarrett: Did you write this?

Chin Ho Kelly: No, this is all him.

Danny Williams: That's good, I like it. Keep going.

Lou Grover: You were not one to be fooled by the baited hook or by shiny lure, oh, no.

(someone sends out a "hallelujah")

Lou Grover: You knew no fear, for you were king of the sea

(Kono and Danny smile at the sermon)

Lou Grover: that is, until that fateful moment yesterday, when you swam around that reef and found yourself looking deeply into the eyes of a mighty warrior.

Steve McGarrett: Stop.

(Flippa starts clapping)

(the group is amused by Lou's sermon that rubs it in a little harder to Steve and laughs)

Steve McGarrett: Stop there. We're done, we're bored, we're hungry. Pass the fish around the damn table.

Danny Williams: I'm not bored.

Lou Grover: Fine, fine. Let's eat. Let me get a little of this first

(platter gets passed on to Steve)

Steve McGarrett: I got it.

Lou Grover: (starts eating) Ooh! Mmm! It's like liquid. It's just, just.. just melts in your mouth. Mmm!

Steve takes a bite)

Lou Grover: go ahead, move that around in your mouth. How you like that? How's that taste?

Steve McGarrett: You know what? It tastes like a suicidal fish who gave his life to pump up your ego.

Lou Grover: Yeah, you're just gonna keep right on flogging that dead horse.

Steve McGarrett: I'm just keeping it real, man.

Lou Grover: Real? Let me tell you what's real, partner. You, me, fish-off. This weekend. Biggest catch wins.

(Lou looks around at the gang)

Lou Grover: Anyone want to take the action here? Who? Who?

KameKona: I'm holding the book. I got McGarrett opening at two to one

Lou Grover: What?

(Steve looks smug)

KameKona: based on experience and local knowledge.

Danny Williams: All right. I'll take, uh, I'll take Grover for $20. Just because.

Lou Grover: Good.

Danny Williams: (looks at Steve) No? All right, I'll take Grover for $40.

Lou Grover: Ow! So what's it gonna be?

Steve McGarrett: (looking at Lou long and hard) You're on.
