• Che Fong : [Che and Steve are figuring out how the cargo ring operates]  I see what you're doing... They get their messages, and we've got our copy.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Right... You make voice prints of all those spotters... They'll be our fingerprints.

  Che Fong : Very clever... And you're not even Chinese.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Chin is counting the money in Eric's safe deposit box]  What's the count?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : You told me that was a nickel and dimes operation.

  Cook : It was big... It got bigger than you know.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [McGarrett hands Kono a file just received from Cook]  Kono, this is your bible. Put together a boiler room with HPD. Everybody on this list gets a thorough going over.

  Kono : What are we looking for?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Who's in debt, whose wife is sick, Who's losing his shirt gambling, Who's stashing a chick... The usual.

  Kono : Boy, that's some fishing expedition.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Sullivan]  You're under arrest.

  Sullivan : Your noble act just destroyed all the evidence.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : You're looking at two eyewitnesses who just saw you receive stolen property, but that's only the kickoff... We've got you on manslaughter and murder... Book him, Danno.

  Sullivan : Rhetoric, Mr. McGarrett!

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Don't bet on it!... From what I know of John Malcolm, He'd be glad to trade his life for yours.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Discussing how he is going to catch the cargo ring]  Those bloodsuckers who run that cargo ring find out who's vulnerable, and uses them... We're going down the same ratholes.
