Quotes 

• Manicote : [Steve phones Manicote looking for Howard Miller]  Hello, Steve... What's up?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : John, I don't have much time, We're looking for a man named Howard Miller... I understand that you've been in touch with him... Is that true?

  Manicote : Yeah.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Good... Now, do you know where he is?

  Manicote : Uhh...

  Det. Steve McGarrett : John, are you there?

  Manicote : Yeah, I'm here... I'm just thinking...

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Thinking?... What are you thinking about?. I told you it's urgent... I need him.

  Manicote : It's not that simple... Why don't you come over here, and I'll explain it to you.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : No... No dice, no time... Now look, John... I don't know what's going on in your head, but at this moment, Miller's fiancee is on a ledge 18 stories up, and is threatening to kill herself... Now, he's the only one who can save her... Where is he?

  Manicote : That's Millers... That's Miller's girl on that ledge?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yes

  Manicote : All right... You meet me at HPD headquarters in five minutes.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : What does HPD have to do with it?

  Manicote : You want Miller?... Meet me there in 5 minutes.

• Manicote : [to Steve who is about to take Howard Miller out of protective custody]  It's on your head... You wanna take that responsibility?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yes, hold me responsible...

  [He looks at Miller] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Unless Mr. Miller doesn't give a damn about what happens to his girl, in which case he can just sit here nice and secure.

  Howard Miller : Let's go.

• Manicote : [after Miller has been murdered]  What shall I say, Steve... A mistake in judgement?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Look, don't tell me I made a mistake!, I'll tell you... I blew it top to bottom! Somebody counted on me to deliver the body, and I did!... That building wasn't picked by accident. Somebody knew my routine down to the fact that I went to that barber every Tuesday!... They knew I could get to the girl first. They knew that I could deliver Miller faster than anybody else... I was twisted, manipulated, used... Now, you want Bonamo?, I'll give you Bonamo on a plate... But not for gambling

  [Raps his hand on the desk] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Murder... Murder one!
