Danny Williams quotes from Hawaii Five-0

Steve

Thanks, Cath.

Danny

Oh, Catherine. I should've known. That's who you were getting right with last night.

Steve

That's stunning detective work. Well done.

Danny

[smirks at Steve's nonchalance] You know, it's amazing. Now, she catches bad guys for you and she sleeps with you. Does she cook, too?

Steve

Yeah, she does. She's a great cook.

Danny

So, uh, who are the Kapu?

Part lifeguard, part unofficial security enforcer for the North Shore. Kinda like protectors for the island.

Danny

Protecting the island from who? [McGarrett and Chin look at each other and then at Danny] Oh! The haoles. Protection from the haoles.

McGarrett

There’s an easy way to do things on this island and a hard way. Talking to Kawika before we go after Levi and Diego is the easy way.

Danny

What’s throwing a guy in a shark tank or hanging a guy off a roof?

McGarrett

Those guys were from out of town.

Danny

You are a sick person you know that?

McGarrett

In the best possible way, right?

Danny

No! No, not in the best possible way! In a very terrible way! That wasn't a compliment, you understand?

We were with our PO.

Danny

Oh yeah?

You can call him.

Danny

I’m gonna call him, and you’re gonna sit right here while I do, and if he doesn’t vouch for you, we’re gonna get a lot less friendly. [about McGarrett] Well, he will; I’m always cordial.

Danny

O-kay, I got a daughter…!

McGarrett

Don’t worry, I know these roads.

Danny

This is not a road! A road has asphalt and two lanes! This is dirt on a cliff!

McGarrett

You scared?

Danny

I’m not scared; I’m rationally concerned.

Kono

I’ll go find out if the daughter saw anything. I mean, I’m the woman, so you’d probably ask me to do it anyway.

Danny

No, it’s not because you’re a woman, it’s because you’re a rookie, and that’s way worse.

Steve

He's armed. He's holding seven hostages, behavior's pretty erratic.

Danny

Oh, you mean opposed to most hostage takers that are calm and composed?

Danny

So, uh, just a question. If things go bad which one of these guys do you want?

Steve

I'll take the ugly one.

Danny

Oh, that's good. The both of them.

Steve

Just for the record. If I pulled something like this, you would be reading me the Riot Act about proper police procedure.

Danny

No. I'd probably just arrest you.

Steve

When compared to this, hanging a guy off a roof and throwing a guy into a shark cage seems pretty tame.

Danny

You know what, I disagree. I think the shark cage is way worse than this.

Steve

Whatever. You're wrong. I'm just saying, to be clear, next time I get a free pass, ok?

Danny

You look horrible, Sang Min.

Sang Min

Been in solitary for thirty days. What's your excuse?

Danny

Must be all the sunshine I'm getting on the outside.

Steve

I came to ask you a question.

Danny

Well, if it’s about the prom, I’m flattered, but I already have a date.

You are to find Atwater's killer and assist in protecting General Pak and his family when they arrive.

Steve

I'm sorry, did you say "assist"? Who am I assisting? Uh, this is–– [sees his former SEAL buddy Nick Taylor] No way! What's up, Bullfrog? [exchanges a hug with Nick]

Smooth Dog.

Steve

Been a while.

It's been a long time, man.

Steve

[to Danny] Uh, Nick, Nick served under me in the SEALs.

Did three years in the 'Stan.

Danny

The 'Stan? What is the 'Stan?

Steve

Afghanistan.

They hired Nick's firm to protect General Pak and his family.

Steve

Of course they did.

Danny

Wow. So you got genocide, ethnic cleansing. It's a great client you got.

Well, you know, my team and I are here to do a job, just like you.

Danny

No, no, not-not just like me. See, I'm a cop. I don't get to choose who I protect. You do, and you choose this animal, and I'm sure our pay grades, our rates are a little different.

Steve

Do you realize how much of your life revolves around food?

Danny

Do you realize how much of your life revolves around armed conflict?

Steve

Let me ask you a question: Where do people from New Jersey vacation?

Danny

Um, I don't know. I-I would imagine they vacation all over the place.

Steve

Okay. And you're you're aware the fact that perhaps many people from New Jersey vacation here in Hawaii?

Danny

I'm sure some misguided people do, sure, yeah.

Steve

Okay, good. And how many Hawaiians do you think vacation in New Jersey?

Danny

I don't know.

Steve

I can help you with that answer if you want. The answer is zero, Danny, because nobody here, except you, wants to be there, okay? Because aside from a couple of great singers, New Jersey doesn't exactly scream––

Danny

[interrupts] Oh, oh..Whoa, a few great singers?!! Sinatra, Springsteen...

Steve

Right.

Danny

A few great sing––Jonathan Bon Jovi.

Steve

I'm sorry, Bon Jovi?!

Danny

Absolutely Bon Jovi.

Steve

You serious?

Danny

He's right up there. "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Wanted Dead or Alive"...

Steve

Now you're giving me song titles.

Danny

I'm giving you classic song titles!

Danny

[after finding out Nick used to be Special Activities Division] I thought you guys were Navy SEALs?

Steve

When you have certain specialties, you can be recruited into different units as needed.

Danny

Are you gonna answer any one of my questions?

Steve

What do you want to know?

Danny

What was his specialty?

Steve

It's classified information, Danny.

Danny

Okay. What was your specialty?

Steve

I can't tell you that either.

Danny

Okay, please, you have done this before. Where was that? When exactly was that?

Steve

[looks around uncomfortably] I worked the other side.

Danny

The other side's a sniper rifle. Was that your specialty? [Steve does not reply and instead half-smiles at him]

Why do you think I brought my family here?

Steve

I don't know. Because you're a mass murderer?

My family's here because I'm seeking political asylum. That's why you couldn't postpone the trip.

Steve

That's why everybody's trying to kill you.

Danny Williams

Let me get this straight. So you commit all these horrible, horrible crimes, and then you come over to the United States, and you say, "Hey, I'd like to make a deal now. Please."

I'm going to testify at the UN against a military junta and my chairman. I am going to admit to the world what I've done and pay for the crimes I've committed.

Steve

Well, that's that's good, man. You should've told us, okay? Somebody should have told us.

The information was too dangerous.

Steve

That information is more dangerous if I don't have it! My entire team could have been killed. Not to mention your family.

My testimony will end the war!! The suffering. You save me, and my family, and you save a country.
