Hawaii Five-O (TV Series)

Good Night, Baby - Time to Die! (1972)

Jack Lord: Det. Steve McGarrett

Quotes 

• Carol Rhodes : Have a drink, would you?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : No, no thanks.

  Carol Rhodes : Be human, c'mon. I just can't imagine a guy with a name like McGarrett not having one drink.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : Hawaii became a state in 1959. That's when the governor appointed me to Five-O. By 1968 I was tired. So I took a vacation, got as far away as I could, to the snow in Switzerland.

• Carol Rhodes : Well, I see you do your homework.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Always.

• Carol Rhodes : [McGarrett closes the drapes in Carol's apartment]  What are you doing?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : L.B.'s out

  Carol Rhodes : He's out... How?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : He escaped.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Carol is planning to leave Hawaii]  If you stay, we can protect you... If you run, he'll kill you.

• Carol Rhodes : [McGarrett picks up a file folder]  What's that?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Police file... I was away when L.B. Barker killed his partner, McCabe, and was convicted.

  Carol Rhodes : What's in the second one?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Beckmann Museum jewel robbery... Ring a bell? That happened 30 days before McCabe was killed.

  Carol Rhodes : And the third one?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I don't think this would interest you.

  [McGarrett lays the folder down] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Here, it's yours.

  [Carol's name appears on the file tab] 

• Carol Rhodes : [to McGarrett]  Why were you away when it all happened?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I was tired.

  Carol Rhodes : That's very funny... I never thought about policemen being tired.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : Tell me about you.

  Carol Rhodes : Tell you about me?... Well, I was what they called an abandoned child.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Carol]  This robbery took place over a month before L.B. killed McCabe... No clues, no traces... Over a million in gemstones taken, some of them historically famous... Perfect entry, perfect getaway.

• Carol Rhodes : [Carol is drunk]  McGarrett, you're so serious... Look at me. I know I'm not that hard to look at.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : You're not that hard to look at at all... But right now, I'm more interested in L.B. Barker... The more I know about him, the safer you are.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [McGarrett is suspicious of Carol]  Funny thing about L.B. Barker's record... Lots of robberies, bad checks, stolen credit cards... But no assault, no violence. Not until he killed his partner, McCabe.

• Carol Rhodes : I think you have a cop's mind... That's what I think.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : That's right.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Carol]  I have a cop's mind, and that cop's mind keeps telling me something like this: Curator of a museum is found with two bullets in him... Three days before, that same museum is burglarized. Over a million in gemstones taken... Thirty days later, two known thieves have a shootout over something valuable... Now could it be?... Could it be that all three were involved?

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Carol who is holding a picture of Townsend]  Even gentle, educated men... When they're in love, when they need money for the girls they love, even they commit crimes... They forge, they embezzle, they steal.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [L.B. is calling]  Now cry, plead, do anything... But stall.

• Carol Rhodes : [Carol is suspicious of McGarrett]  You're after something.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah... I'm after the truth.

• Danny Williams : [a stake out is prepared for L.B]  We're ready for him.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : We'd better be.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [L.B. flies at Carol in a rage, and McGarrett pulls him away]  Don't blow it!... Don't blow it, L.B., you're off the hook.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Dan after playing back a tape that proves Carol killed Townsend]  Book her... See you in court, L.B.
