TV show quotes
[Taking JC Dekker's advice over her feelings for Adam, Kono decides to meet him at his yakuza meeting. He excuses for a moment.]
Kono, you okay?
Yeah, I'm good. I look worse than I feel.
Come here. What happened?
It doesn't matter. What matters is I love you. And I can't imagine my life without you. [Adam is nonplussed] I want to be your wife, Adam.
Really? [Kono smiles and they kiss]
[walks into Steve's house] He's dead. He is dead. [walks into kitchen]
Good morning to you, too.
I swear, I think that I am gonna kill this little punk. [sees Steve making coffee] Nice.
Okay. Who we killing?
This, uh, kid in Grace's math class, his name is 'Apane, and he's been texting her nonstop. Text, text, text, text, text, text.
How do you know he's been texting her?
Because I bought her a new cellular phone and somehow in the family cloud share plan, whatever you call it, it got mixed up and I'm receiving all of her text messages.
So you've been spying on her.
I'm not spying on my kid. What'd I just say? Number one. Number two, it's called parenting, so you know.
It's also spying.
You know why you think it's funny? Because you don't understand subtext.
Subtext. They're two kids talking about candy the day before Valentine's Day. Romance is in the air, Danny.
Romance is in the air?
Romance is in the air.
No, romance is not in the air. You know why? Because she's twelve. There should not be any romance in her airspace, period.
Anybody bringing a camera to a gunfight got my respect.
You know, I got to know some of these embeds when I was downrange. I got to tell you, they're a special breed. I mean, they're driven and they're committed, but they're crazy.
And may I ask what Cupid has in store for you?
I have a date with my Kindle and a nice bottle of Cab.
Ah, how wonderfully pathetic.
What's pathetic is a made-up commercial holiday dedicated to the patron saint of not only love, but of epilepsy, fainting and the plague.
Well, romantics, such as myself, view Valentine's Day as a perfect opportunity to express our true feelings for the one we love.
Saint Valentine was brutally murdered by a Roman emperor.
Raising kids is a lot like grilling burgers.
Uh-huh.
You can't poke them and prod them too much. All you can do is just watch them closely and be there when the flames jump up.
That's it! There you go. That's fantastic.
Steve?
Yeah?
You got to hear this. Grover is comparing, uh, raising children to, uh, making hamburgers.
What's the matter with that?
I like it.
You like it?
I like it.
Right. 'Cause the analogy is free, like, uh, the-the booze is free. The beers are free. Everything is free.
[Lou is trying to teach Steve how to play golf. Steve takes a swing.]
[sighs in dismay] Brother, you're playing what we like to call military golf. Left, right, left, right.
What am I doing wrong?
Well, for starters, you're swinging like a gorilla. Don't you remember what I said in the parking lot? This is a game of finesse. The easier you swing, the further that little white ball goes.
Okay, that doesn't make any sense to me.
[Former U.S. Women's Open champion and Honolulu native Michelle Wie stops by to say hi and greets a star-struck Lou]
You guys know each other?
Please ignore my ignorant friend. He just crawled out from under a rock this morning, with a driver in his hand.
[...]
[to Steve] If you don't mind, I just want to give you a tip. I just saw something from back there.
Oh, I would yes, please. By all means, yeah, especially if it's free. His motto is, "If it's for free, then it's for me."
[After saving Amber Vitale from her exhusband Frank Simpson, Danny hears her true story]
I didn't have much of a family as a kid. And when I was 19, I met Frank. And he was older and charming and he was the first man who ever made me feel special. A year later, we were married, and everything changed. He wanted to control every aspect of my life. And when I stood up for myself, he got violent. One night, he, uh, he almost killed me, so I-I left the city and ran as fast and far away as I could. And then I met you.
I got lucky, huh? [laughs] Right, babe?
I wouldn't call it lucky.
No?
No. I-I mean, I was, I was afraid you would think I was damaged goods. That you wouldn't want me with all that baggage.
Baggage? Look, I got, um, I got plenty of baggage my-my-myself, you know? I think between the two of us, we may be able, be able to open up a luggage joint one day, you know?
Yeah.
Look, um I say that-that that part of your life is over with now. You know, it's finished. I mean, we we can start over right now. What do you say? Hmm?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah? Be good? I'm Melissa Armstrong.
Melissa Armstrong? [chuckles] Oh Melissa Armstrong, I'm, uh, Danny Williams; nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you.
[The Five-0 team successfully take down a serial arsonist]
You know, I spent the last two years of my life just existing. I think it's time to start living again.
You know don't look back, okay? Just don't look back, whatever you do. You can't change the past. Trust me on that.
Take, like, a domesticated canine, you put it in the wild. Okay, but a cat-- they never forgot how to hunt and kill.
Well, I guess that's why you two get along then. That's why you like cats.
Yeah.
[Steve microwaves an egg omelet cooked earlier]
Aw, that smells disgusting, Steve. Who microwaves an omelet, huh?!
The body needs protein. When you're not sleeping, it needs it even more. What is that? What are you doing?
I'm doing a little, uh, quiz out of this book: uh, "how well you know your partner?". It asked me to list something you were very passionate about.
Oh, yeah? What'd you write?
Protein.
[to Steve] I have seen you personally put yourself in every conceivable life-threatening situation without batting an eye, like it's nothing. But when it comes to talking about your feelings, forget about it, you'd rather chew cyanide.
[to Danny] Look, man, I was raised differently than you, okay? I wasn't raised in a house with a supportive family encouraging me to share my feelings. And in your case, every feeling. The McGarrett men are a different breed. To them, showing emotion is like showing weakness, you know? I mean, it's stupid, but it's just the way it is.
[Danny and Max are at Grace's school for career day]
So like, uh, like I said, our job is to uphold the laws of this great country. Without policemen, without policewomen, uh, there'd be no order. And order is, um it's the backbone to any civilized society. And, yes, I like doughnuts very much. If anybody has any questions, uh, please, you can ask them now. [points at a boy raising his hand] Yes.
What's it like cutting up dead people?
I don't do that.
[refers to Max] I was asking him.
The vivisection of a once-living organism as a scientific necessity can be quite rewarding if it yields forensic results.
Boy': Is it yucky?
Quite the opposite. Thank you for asking.
