Quotes 

• Cerebus : [Cerberus calls back on Doctor Fowler's private line]  Don't hang up on me again... Don't do that.

  Dr. Eric Fowler : This is my private line.

  Cerebus : Yes, and I'm in that chair with you treating your patients... I know their secrets, their dirty little perversions... You don't beleive me?... Where shall we start? Creepy Mary, Bobby Boy, Kooky Eva?

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Who is this?

  Cerebus : You need a name?... I'm Cerberus, the hound of hell and all of my 50 heads

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Is this some kind of sick joke?

  Cerebus : Yes, but it is my turn to laugh. You... You turned me down as a poor treatment risk!... Me, a 170 IQ, and I am a poor treatment risk?

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Did I see you at one of my clinics?

  Cerebus : What difference does that make?

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Look, Cerberus, You're hostile... And maybe you have every right, but there just aren't enough psychiatrists to go around.

  Cerebus : So crawl in a corner and die!... Hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign around a corpse?... No Way! This mistake is not getting buried!... You're paying now, Doc. I want 5 grand, or I'll finish you and your sickies!

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Listen, Cerberus... You listen to me, and you listen hard!... I will not be threatened or blackmailed... You won't get a cent out of me... And don't phone again.

  [Doctor Fowler hangs up] 

• Dr. Eric Fowler : [Doctor Fowler gets a phone call from Cerberus]  Hello?

  Cerebus : Doc?

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Speaking.

  Cerebus : Hi, Doc... I'm wired into you, I know all about you.

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Wired in?... Aah, Big Brother watcheth, huh?... Well, thanks for the warning, old buddy.

  Cerebus : I'm not your buddy, and I'm not putting you on... I've been listening in to you and your patients for months.

  Dr. Eric Fowler : I'm sorry... I'm very busy

  [Doctor Fowler hangs up] 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Doctor Fowler after finding all the bugs, and hearing Cerberus' threats]  Your office, your decision.

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Well, what do you suggest?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Ignore him, call his bluff.

• Dr. Eric Fowler : [after McGarrett finds a bug in Dr. Fowler's jacket, and writes a note to the Doctor to kick Five-0 off the case]  I've made up my mind, McGarrett... I've got my patients to protect. I can't let this happen again... I'll settle with him. Just get off the case!

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Doc, please.

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Stay away, understand?

• Cerebus : [Cerebus has Doctor Fowler's house bugged]  Doc? Yeah, Doc, it's me... Sorry about the boy, but you wouldn't listen.

  Dr. Eric Fowler : In my own home?

  Cerebus : That's right, We've all got to live with our demons.

• Dr. Eric Fowler : [Talking with Cerberus]  If I found a way to get you immunity from prosecution, would you be willing to come forward and accept psychiatric help without any cost to you?

  Cerebus : [laughing hysterically]  Beautiful, just beautiful!... The poor treatment risk shows a little muscle and BINGO!... A free pyschoanalysis, FREE!... Well, I don't need you, Doc!... I don't need anybody!... I am my own operation bootstrap!

• Cerebus : [Blackmailing Doctor Fowler]  Alright, let's get to figures... It was 5 grand, now it's 10.

  Dr. Eric Fowler : I don't have that kind of money.

  Cerebus : SHUT!... Shut your mouth, or it will be 20!

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [McGarrett and Doctor fowler are discussing catching Cerberus]  Doctor, are you willing to take some risk?

  Dr. Eric Fowler : To put him away, yes.

• Cerebus : [Cerberus is blackmailing Doctor Fowler]  All right now, How about the 10 grand?... Have you got it?

  Dr. Eric Fowler : It's waiting at the bank.

  Cerebus : Good... Get it in that airline bag first thing tomorrow... And keep it with you wherever you go, and keep your car radio on... You got that?

  Dr. Eric Fowler : Yes

• Dr. Eric Fowler : [Looking shocked when he sees Cerberus]  It's our building mailman!

• Dr. Eric Fowler : [to McGarrett after Cerberus has been arrested]  I don't know about you, but that right hook sure made me feel better.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Too bad you can't cure a pyschotic with a right hook, huh Doc?
