TV show quotes
[Steve and Catherine are watching a movie together on his couch.]
[grins] I don't know what's sadder. The fact that you use this lame movie to hook up with girls, or the fact that it actually worked.
[mischievously] Clearly I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh please, you put on a scary movie with the girl falling in your arms. It's all just a little bit obvious.
Don't beat yourself up about that. Grace is at the age where, you know, she's discovering her independence.
She's 10. What independence? And if I can't compete now, what's gonna happen when she gets to high school?
Wait till she starts dating.
Dating? [Catherine nods her head] What, are you trying to make me feel better? You're not doing a very good job.
You going to a hip-hop class later or what?
Halloween party. This year I decided to continue my tradition of Keanu-themed costumes by dressing up as Ted "Theodore" Logan from the 1989 classic Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
[does a ILY sign] "Party time." [looks at Danny] Excellent.
No, no, no.
That catchphrase is from Wayne's World. What you are looking for was simply "Excellent" or "Party on, dude," but thank you for the effort.
Okay, it was very close.
You know, when I was a little girl, my father used to work a lot, too. And he was in the Navy, so sometimes he'd be gone for months at a time.
Did you miss him?
A lot, yeah. But that was the sacrifice that he had to make for his country. Just like your dad's had to make sacrifices for his job, which is keeping this island safe. I know it's really hard to be away from your family, Grace, but that's why it's really important to make the most of the time that you guys have together.
Did you think Danno was sad that I didn't go trick-or-treating with him?
Mm, I think maybe a little bit. But I'm sure you can make it up to him.
What's up?
Heard you went dress shopping.
That's right.
There something I should know?
Something? Yeah, I like to wear dresses. Why do you always go for the cheap shot?
Subtlety doesn't work with you. A hammer is always best. I'm just hoping you got something with a nice, plunging neckline so you can show off that Chewbacca chest.
There's a father-daughter dance tonight.
Oh but you can't dance.
Sure, I can dance. I just choose not to.
That's a smart move.
Excuse me?
You forget I saw you dance at my wedding, brah.
Yeah, the overbite shuffle. I remember. [Chin and Steve chuckle]
Is everybody done with their cute critiques?
[While he and Danny are driving to a suspect's house, Steve calls Catherine for a favor.]
Lieutenant Catherine Rollins, assistant to Steve McGarrett. How can I help you?
[Danny is chuckling in the background] [embarrassed] Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, I can't live without you?
[whispers to Steve] No, no, she's way too smart to fall for that.
You really think I'm gonna fall for that?
[smirks at Steve] See?
I cannot miss it.
You're not gonna miss it.
Okay, well, don't jinx it.
How–– I'm not–– I'm not gonna jinx it.
Okay, well, don't say anything else about it.
[after an awkward silence] You gonna wear a suit?
What'd I just say? What did I just say?
You told me not to talk about the dance. I'm talking about your wardrobe.
What I choose to wear and tonight's dance are directly related.
Okay.
[In a flashback to 2001, Danny is talking to Rachel on the phone]
Yes, yes, I am scared, all right? I am also anxious and nervous. I am discombobulated-- yes, I use that word. But, most of all, I am happy. Okay? Let me break it down-- I am 60% happy, I am 30% completely terrified, and I am 10% discombobulated. Yes, it is a real word. See? This is why you suck at Scrabble.
You're his caregiver?
Yeah, the flight attendant thing didn't work out so well. Steve, listen please. I really think that this could be my true calling. I love taking care of people.
Well, that's funny, Mary, because you can barely take care of yourself.
[mischievously smacks Mary's behind] We take care of each other. Don't we, doll?
Morty, do you remember our conversation - about professional boundaries?
No. Memory's not so good.
[unamused] How about this, Morty, you touch my sister again like that, I'm gonna break your hand.
[disappointed that Mary isn't with Steve] She's not coming, is she?
I mean, you can't blame her, Mom. She thought you were dead.
Where's she staying? [Steve says nothing] Okay. I'll just track her down myself. Acquiring target locations is actually a specialty of mine, so––
Mom. Mom, Mary's your daughter; she's not a target.
I'm sorry.
Look Give her some space, okay? Give her some time. When she's ready, she's gonna come to you.
And what if that never happens? [Steve's phone rings] Is that her?
No, no, no, stand down, Mom. It's work.
[chuckles] Did you just tell me to stand down?
Affirmative.
You done? I want to talk to my lawyer.
What, exactly, are you gonna tell your lawyer? Huh? That Five-O raided your illegal hack shop, during which you fired a big cannon at my face. And then following your apprehension, we download everything on these goofy little computers, and we find out that you are indeed a world-class cyber thief. Go ahead, call. Use my phone, I'll dial it for you.
[sitting at her father's grave site] I still remember the day that that you told me that Mommy wasn't going to be coming home anymore. I remember that night I went into your room and I saw you sitting on your bed, crying. And that scared me, Dad. I miss you so much, Dad. I slept on Steve's floor 'cause I didn't want to be alone, you know and I guess I've been that way ever since. But when Steve just told me that she was alive all I could do was think about you that night crying, Dad. I'm just so angry for what she's put you through. And I miss you so much. I miss you. I miss you, and it just hurts so bad. I love you. [gets up and looks at Morty] Thanks for coming.
Where else was I going to go? I've been to a lot of stone gardens, kid, but I got to say, this is by far the nicest. Not too shabby a place to end up, I think.
[chuckles] I think you have to be part of the military to be buried here.
Sweetie, I'm retired air force - the 34th Bomb Squadron - so sign me up.
[Morty Sapperstein, Mary McGarrett's ward, talks to her on Waikiki beach]
Mary, I need you to do something for me.
What? I'll do anything.
I need you to go see your mother.
I can't.
You can't or you won't?
Both. She disappeared from my life when I was ten years old, Morty. Gone. This whole time I've thought she's dead.
But she's not. You get a second chance, kid. Other people aren't so lucky. I'd give everything I own to have a second chance.
What are you talking about?
Zoe Anne Sapperstein. My only daughter.
You had a daughter, Morty? I didn't know you had a daughter.
Yeah. We got into a fight over this boy she was seeing. Her mother and I disapproved. She left college and took off for San Francisco with the guy. We didn't speak for years. One day the phone rang. It was the Highway Patrol. Carpet salesman from Oakland had too much to drink. He fell asleep behind the wheel and hit my daughter's car. Killed her instantly. Not a day goes by I don't wish I'd picked up the phone and called her. I let the privilege of knowing her slip away because I was a stubborn SOB. Don't make the same mistake. Put away your anger. Go see your mother. You only have one family.
So what killed him, the fire or the car?
My preliminary examinations indicate that the immediate cause of death was blunt-force trauma due to impact with the car. However, if the victim was not set ablaze and hit by the car, he would have died as a result of the gunshot wound he sustained to his chest.
Okay, so he was shot, burned and hit by a car? Wow. This guy's having a great day.
We got metal detectors out in the field and picked up a nine-millimeter shell casing.
But that's not all.
Please don't tell me he was poisoned or stabbed.
As far as I can tell, he was not. However, I did detect traces of accelerant on his body - gasoline.
: Okay, so he was shot, doused with gasoline and then left in a sugar cane field that was about to be burned.
