QuotesEdit
Adam Noshimuri: Hey. Steve. Good to see you. Mahalo, brutha.
Steve McGarrett: Welcome back.
Adam Noshimuri: Thank you.
Steve McGarrett: Where's your girl? Where's Kono?
Adam Noshimuri: (sighs) She's not coming.
Steve McGarrett: What? I just.. I just talked to her yesterday. She was telling me how excited she was to get home.
Adam Noshimuri: Yeah, she was. Then, this morning, I found her on the lanai. I could tell she hadn't slept all night. I knew why.
Steve McGarrett: I'm sorry, Adam.
Adam Noshimuri: Yeah, she said a lead panned out in Boulder City and if she didn't follow up, she'd regret it. I could have followed her there like I've been doing, but sitting in a motel room, eating out of a vending machine, waiting for your wife to return (chuckles) it's not as glamorous as it sounds.
Steve McGarrett: Yeah.
Adam Noshimuri: Yeah, I figured it was time to come back home and try to have some semblance of a life.
Steve McGarrett: This, uh.. this is gonna end. You know that, right?
Adam Noshimuri: Yeah. That's what she said.
Steve McGarrett: You hungry?
Adam Noshimuri: I don't know. Coach served a bag of these miniature pretzels. I think I had six of them.
Steve McGarrett: Good. I'm starving, too.
Adam Noshimuri: You don't cut her any slack, do you?
Steve McGarrett: Hell no. Doris? No. Danny sometimes; Doris never. We're not talking about my mother.
Adam Noshimuri: I.. I'm telling you, trust me on this - forget about the brick and mortar. Get yourself a food truck. If it doesn't work out, you can always drive it off a cliff and collect on the insurance.
Steve McGarrett: You lost your mind since you were away? You think I need more time in a moving vehicle with Detective Danny Williams?
Adam Noshimuri: (chuckling) Yeah, I didn't consider that.
Adam Noshimuri: How is Danny anyway?
Steve McGarrett: He's all right. He's cranky. He's the crankiest person I ever met.
Adam Noshimuri: Yeah, that sounds about right. Hey, did I hear you got a dog?
Steve McGarrett: I got a dog! His name's Eddie. He's unbelievable.
Adam Noshimuri: I thought you were a cat person?
Steve McGarrett: I was but, I don't know, he did something to me. I think he did a Jedi mind-trick on me. Yeah, I'm not that into cats anymore.
Steve McGarrett: The longer we wait, the greater the risk of somebody inside getting hurt.
Junior Reigns: Hooyah. So, how do we breach?
Steve McGarrett: We don't do anything. I'm going in. You guys are waiting out here for backup.
Junior Reigns: Yeah, but, sir, this..
Adam Noshimuri: Hey, forget it, kid. You're just wasting your breath.
Steve McGarrett: Hey. You just sounded like Danny Williams then. You know that?
Adam Noshimuri: Yeah. Sorry about that.
(Steve looking at Junior like he knows what he is thinking)
Steve McGarrett: What's the plan?
Junior Reigns: (glumly) Wait for backup.
Steve McGarrett: Wait for backup. (to Adam) Keep an eye on him.
Adam Noshimuri: He's a grown adult.
Steve McGarrett: Yeah, he's a grown-ass Navy SEAL.
Steve McGarrett: Where'd you get that gun?
Junior Reigns: Uh, your gun safe under your seat.
Steve McGarrett: It was locked.
Junior Reigns: Yeah, it was.
Adam Noshimuri: You got an extra gun?
Steve McGarrett: That's for protection only. You guys pull those triggers only if somebody else is shooting at you. Otherwise, they're paperweights.
Junior Reigns: Wait, hang on. I'm still stuck on ten million. I mean, I mean who deposits that kind of paper?
Adam Noshimuri: Organized crime.
Tani Rey: You talking from experience?
Adam Noshimuri: Yeah.
Jerry Ortega: His dad was, like, the OG of OGs.
Junior Reigns: Yakuza?
Adam Noshimuri: Yeah.
Junior Reigns: That's badass, man.
(the car trunk opens on its own and bags of stolen money fall out)
Lou Grover: Oh.
Junior Reigns: That was easy.
Lou Grover: Yeah, well, don't get used to it, kid. The bad guys don't usually come to us.
Junior Reigns: Copy that.
Lou Grover: Well, as my grandfather used to say...Bye!
Steve McGarrett: Hey, listen, um I know it's not the first time, but I really appreciated you having my back today. Thank you.
Adam Noshimuri: That's what ohana is for, right?
(Bloodies white dress shits)
Steve McGarrett: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Well, you're just, you're not taking these?
Adam Noshimuri: They're all yours.
Steve McGarrett: Don't think I won't wash the blood out and wear them out to a nice dinner.
