- Betty: [She recognizes Mariss' voice] It was you!... You called me!... You kidnapped Susan!... It was you!... You had Howard murdered!
- Bonamo: [to Mariss as he is watching Mrs. Landers on the TV] Aren't you fascinated by this spectacle?
- Bonamo: [Bonamo is talking to his lawyer, Mariss] You know, a suicide is one of the great events of the day... Breaks up the boredom of the daily routine... That same girl could walk nude down Kalakua Avenue, and hardly anyone would give her a second glance... But, she walks out on a ledge, threatens to kill herself, and everybody pays attention... Except you.
- Mariss: What happens if that girl doesn't jump?... Will the crowd be disappointed? Will you be?... And if you're in the mood for grisly spectacles, there's a beauty coming up the day after tomorrow... May I remind you that your case goes before the grand jury with a strong and hostile witness?... If you wanna worry about something, worry about that.
- Bonamo: Bart, you're my lawyer... You worry about it.
- 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.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [Steve is giving instructions to his men while taking Miller out of protective custody] Keep your eyes peeled... This gentleman is hot... No sirens, don't exceed the legal limit, and we stop for all red lights... Okay, let's go.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [to Dan, while checking the room the Pro was in] Get Che up here... He's not gonna find anything, but get him started anyway.
- Danny Williams: Steve, do you realize the guy had a dead bead on you the whole time you were in that window?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [In deep thought] Yeah... But he wasn't looking for me.
- 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!
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [to Mrs. Landers, who is in the hospital] I don't know if you realize it, but at this moment you are an accessory to a murder.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [Questioning Mrs. Landers, who is in the hospital] Do you know who Barry Bonomo is?
- Betty: He's the gambler, isn't he?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Yeah, a man who will go to very great lengths to collect a debt.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [after he shows Barry Bonamo the evidence against him] Okay, the DA wants you badly, almost as badly as I do... Maybe you can make a deal with him to cop a plea, but not with me... I just wanted you to see a beautiful lock... Kono, book him... Murder one.
- Bonamo: [to McGarrett as he is about to be booked] McGarrett, I didn't do it.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Can you refute the evidence?
- Bonamo: No, but I didn't do it... It's a frame.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Ah, frame... I was waiting for that golden word... GET HIM OUTTA HERE!
- Bonamo: McGarrett, if there's a guy in this town who should know a frame, it's you... So you gotta get me off.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: I've gotta get you off?... BOOK HIM!
- Chin Ho: [after Bonamo is arrested] If they ever need a guy to play King Lear, they should hire Bonamo... Oh, what an actor.
- [Chin chuckles]
- Danny Williams: What if he's not acting?
- Chin Ho: Oh come on, Danny... It's a lock.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [Danny has a puzzled look on his face] What's bothering you?
- Danny Williams: The evidence... It's almost too good... Mostly, if Bonomo wanted to hit the hit man, why would he plant $10,000 on him with his fingerprints all over it?
- Mariss: [after being apprehended by Dan] Bait?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Yeah, bait... For the second time... Pretty good trick you dreamed up, Mariss... Good enough for us to use it.
- Betty: [Mariss tried to kill Mrs. Landers, and has been arrested] Does it ever go away?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: What?
- Betty: Being afraid.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Yeah, it goes away... It goes away
- [Last lines]
- Betty: [Talking to Barry Bonamo's lawyer] Mr. Mariss, I've gone through hell... Somebody's gonna pay for that.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [McGarrett and Dan are going through the car where the hitman was found] Did you check this?
- [He points to money]
- Danny Williams: Yeah... Didn't count it, but there's thousands of dollars... Bonamo?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Yeah, Bonamo!... I'm gonna peel his hide... Bring him in.
