[while trapped under the rubble, McGarrett and Danny talk to ease the tension, and suddenly Amber is brought up]
Yeah, I'll probably screw it up like I do everything else. Right? Not in my DNA to be happy.
I didn't mean that. That's not what I meant.
No, I'm officially agreeing with you. There is something wrong with the way that I am built. I-I can't, uh I can't just enjoy happiness like regular people, you know?
You don't think you're being a little hard on yourself?
No, I don't. When I was a kid, my parents would go out to eat dinner. If they were late coming home, I used to imagine that they died in a car wreck, just 'cause they were 15 minutes late and I used to talk to God and beg him. I said, "Please just take my dad, not my mom." 'Cause I couldn't live without my mom. mean, every time something good happens in my life, I-I just I think of when it's gonna end. That's all I can think about.
You for real?
Yeah.
That's not normal.
I know it's not normal. Listen to this. On my wedding day, I'm looking at Rachel, just about to say "I do," and all I can see is the day she's gonna serve me with divorce papers. No joke. And I-I don't know, man. The only sustained happiness I ever felt in my life so far is Grace. And, you know, it's just a matter of time before she turns 18, and then she's out the door and she marries some schmuck. I don't know.
You got to change, man. You can't live like that.
Well, I'd like very much to change. It's just not so simple, you know?
Take Amber, all right? Start small. Instead of pushing her away, like you always do, fixate on how she's gonna break your heart, she's gonna destroy your life bring her in, bring her closer.
All right, I'll give it a shot.
What?
I said I'll give it a shot. I make it out of here alive, I'll give it a shot.
