Quotes 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Trying to get Danny's statement]  A cop pulls a gun he better remember every single detail! There's always trouble when you pull a gun, more if you fire it!... You hit somebody, and you're up to your hip pockets in it!... And if a cop kills somebody, every single fact better jibe or he's nailed to the wall!... He's guilty until he proves himself innocent!... Now that's backwards, ugly and unfair, But that's the way it is!... Now we gotta know everything there is to know right now!... So think!

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Georgie is swinging a chain at McGarrett]  Unless you wanna swallow that chain, you better sit down... DIG?

• Kono : [about Danny]  You really gave it to him, Boss... Too hard maybe?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : How hard is too hard?

  Kono : Just asking.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Don't.

• Danny : He was just a boy, Steve!... A boy!... He probably never even had to shave!

  Det. Steve McGarrett : You think it's easier to kill a grown man? You think the next one will be easier than this one? God help you if you do!... It better hurt every time!... It better tear your guts out every time you pull that gun, whether you use it or not!... You learn to live with it, but don't get used to it!

• Danny : It's a stinking job.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Who said it was anything else?

• Det. Steve McGarrett : Do you like this life Annie?... Shoving a needle in your arm?... Waking up with your stomach in knots?... Cold sweats?

• Det. Steve McGarrett : I'm gonna nail you, Chicken. You'll miss some angle... You stay smug, and I'll stay patient, and I'm gonna nail you.

  Big Chicken : Never, Mr. McGarrett... No chance you'll ever... No way... Peace!

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Arresting Big Chicken]  Ain't no big thing bruddah!... But it's enough to close that iron gate on you forever!
