[watching a video of one of McGarrett's high school football games]
Your dad couldn't stop screaming.
You were there with my dad?
Yeah. I was fresh out of the academy, he was my training officer. I'll tell you, any day that Steve McGarrett was starting at quarterback was an official day off.

I got one question. What’s a quarterback doing wearing the number fifty?
Five-0.
Yeah.
No, it’s not fifty, it’s five-0. It’s what my dad used to call our family, because we weren’t native Hawaiian. Five-0. I don’t know; it was his way of making us feel like we belonged somewhere I guess.
I like that. Five-0.
