Quotes
Junior Reigns: Commander McGarrett?

Steve McGarrett: Yes.

Junior Reigns: Special Operator 2nd Class Junior Reigns. It's an honor to meet you, sir.

Steve McGarrett: Nice to meet you, Junior. Please relax. I'm, uh I'm not on the team anymore. What can I do for you?

Junior Reigns: Uh, my Master Chief David Lange always spoke very highly of you.

Steve McGarrett: David Lange?!

Junior Reigns: (chuckling) Yeah.

Steve McGarrett: He's your master chief? He was my dive buddy.

Junior Reigns: He mentioned that. He says you're the best.

Steve McGarrett: Well, don't believe everything David Lange says. When you headed back downrange?

Junior Reigns: Actually, sir, I just processed out.

Steve McGarrett: Out of the Navy?

Junior Reigns: Yes, sir. (chuckles) It's a long story.

Steve McGarrett: I bet it is. When'd you get back from the sandbox?

Junior Reigns: Two hours ago.

Steve McGarrett: I see. Well Special Operator 2nd Class Junior Reigns, I gotta say, I'm intrigued as to why you're standing on my porch this morning.

Junior Reigns: Well, I heard about the task force you run and, you know, the type of work you do, and well, to tell you the truth, I need a job.

Steve McGarrett: What was that all about?

Danny Williams: What was it all about? You were just sitting here listening to my conversation.

Steve McGarrett: No

Danny Williams: What do you mean, what was it all about?

Steve McGarrett: I don't speak Jersey. I tuned out at, uh "disco fries in AC"?

Danny Williams: Dis.. That's when you eat a big pile of french fries with a bunch of stuff on it at 2:00 in the morning. My cousin Leo, he was in Atlantic City last week.

Steve McGarrett: And "tomato pie" is Jersey for pizza-- is that right?

Danny Williams: Yeah, you can make fun. This is good news.

Steve McGarrett: I'm not making f..

Danny Williams: We got good news, okay? Okay.

Steve McGarrett: What is it?

Danny Williams: My.. my my Uncle Vito has agreed to bottle water... bottle tap water for our restaurant.

Steve McGarrett: That's the stupidest thing you've ever said.

Danny Williams: Well, for your information, water is the key to good pizza dough, okay? That's why you can't get a good slice of pizza out here in Hawaii.

Steve McGarrett: Surrounded by water, Danny.

Danny Williams: It's not..

Steve McGarrett: Why do we need more water when we live on an island?

Danny Williams: It's not any water. It's specific water. It's Jersey tap water that has been pumped through-through aged pipes that give you a mineral count that is perfectly bred to make a good piece of pizza. You understand? It..

Steve McGarrett: What?!

Danny Williams: Don't worry. It's well, it's the truth, but don't worry about it. Why don't you just handle management, and I will deal with the recipes.

Steve McGarrett: Are you serious?

Danny Williams: Mm-hmm.

Steve McGarrett: No, I'm gonna have to exercise my veto on this one.

Danny Williams: You don't have a veto.

Steve McGarrett: You asked me to be your business partner. It's like a marriage. It's gotta be 50/50 if it's gonna work.

Danny Williams: What do you know about marriage? You been married?

Steve McGarrett: No, never been divorced, either.

Danny Williams: It's wat.. What do you care where it comes from? It's water. What do you care?

Steve McGarrett: Number one, the shipping costs, but most of all, it's about you not considering my feelings.

Danny Williams: Your feelings?

Steve McGarrett: Yeah, my feelings.

Danny Williams: You're like a sensitive flower. I'm gonna change the subject.

Steve McGarrett: Okay.

Danny Williams: 'Cause I'm very uncomfortable when it comes to your feelings.

Danny Williams: You heard from Kono?

Steve McGarrett: Yeah, I have. Yeah, I spoke to her a couple days ago. Seems like, every time she locks up a perp, they get new Intel that leads to another arrest. She's even brought in Chin's San Fran task force to handle the West Coast operations. What?

Danny Williams: No, it's just weird. I mean, I miss those guys, you know?

Steve McGarrett: Yeah, me too. Look who's a sensitive little flower now.

Danny Williams: How is he?

Steve McGarrett: The shot missed his vitals. Uh, he's gonna need surgery. That's all they know right now.

Danny Williams: Shoot a dog, you're going to hell. Period.

DEA Agent Reid: Gentlemen. I'm Agent Reid.

Steve McGarrett: Nice to meet you. I'm Steve McGarrett. Danny Williams, my partner, Five-O.

Danny Williams: How you doing?

DEA Agent Reid: Eddie's been with us for three years. Before that, he was a war dog stationed in Afghanistan. Survived all that just to get shot on a dock in Oahu.

Roger Niles: I had a partner once. It lasted all of 18 months.

Lou Grover: What happened to him?

Roger Niles: Heart attack. He was 42.

Lou Grover: (quietly to Steve) How old are you?

Steve McGarrett: 41! Okay!

(Breaking plates looking for drugs)

Danny Williams: Should've called my ex-wife. She loves to break stuff. Coffee mugs, ashtrays, all kinds of stuff.

Danny Williams: I want every last one opened up and examined. Okay.

Worker: Does that mean you're gonna break more of my stuff?

Danny Williams: Odds are pretty good, yeah.

Jerry Ortega: We just made the biggest drug bust in Hawaiian history.

Tani Rey: Look who's a dog person now.

Lou Grover: No. I'm a "this dog" person.

Danny Williams: You like this dog, huh?

Steve McGarrett: What?

Danny Williams: I said you like this dog.

Steve McGarrett: Yeah, he's a nice dog.

Danny Williams: No, what I mean is.. you have an attachment to this dog. Which is dangerous because the dog is gonna have a new home soon, right?

Steve McGarrett: That's right. That's right, Danny. And, for the record, I'm not attached.

Danny Williams: Oh, no?

Steve McGarrett: No.

Danny Williams: Oh, okay, 'cause you.. you're chopping free-range chicken

Steve McGarrett: Mm-hmm.

Danny Williams: for the dog, and you're about to put it in your favorite cereal bowl, so..

Steve McGarrett: What am I gonna do, cook two meals? He eats what I eat.

Danny Williams: Okay.

Steve McGarrett: All right.

Danny Williams: I thought you were a cat guy.

Steve McGarrett: I am a cat guy. I maintain that the cat is a far superior animal. And I'll tell you why. Okay? They're more sophisticated.

Danny Williams: Mm-hmm.

Steve McGarrett: They're more cunning. More agile. Self-sufficient.

Danny Williams: Great animals, but still..

Steve McGarrett: (sighs) Look. It's possible that maybe Eddie has grown on me a little bit, all right? What am I gonna do? He's a very sweet dog. Is he not?

Danny Williams: Very sweet dog.

Steve McGarrett: Thank you.

Steve McGarrett: Adam Noshimuri came to visit me this morning.

Danny Williams: Okay.

Steve McGarrett: I guess, uh, Kono's case has gone federal. The FBI want her to stick around, see it through to the end.

Danny Williams: So, what does that mean? When is she coming back?

Steve McGarrett: Not any time soon. Adam's flying out tomorrow to be with her.

Danny Williams: Wow. (sighs) Things are changing, huh?

Steve McGarrett: Yes, they are.
