Quotes 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : Che, make it fast will ya? They've got the feathers ready, and the tar is about to come to a boil.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : The noose is getting tighter... It's perfect, not a flaw in it. You can forget about any local hoods... A frame this ingenius is beyond them. Somebody's been building this for at least three years. Expert forgers, all that money. Why? Who?

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve is lying in an upside down car]  Danno, is that you?... What happened?

  Danny Williams : We don't know.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve is inside an upside down car, and talking to Dan in a weak voice]  I know I was in the office at midnight, Danno... I know I was in the office at midnight, Danno...

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve is in the hospital, and is paralyzed]  Diagnosis, Doc?

  Dr. Shimel : Nothing certain at this time, Mr. McGarrett.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Best guess?

  Doc Bergman : You might as well level with him, George... He'll hound you until you tell him.

  Dr. Shimel : You have an injury to your spinal column.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve is talking to Dan, and realizes he is not paralyzed anymore]  Look at my hands! I can... I can move them Danno!, I can move them!

• Danny Williams : Steve, they found your car parked and locked in Benny Jalor's driveway.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Oh, this is a too well-planned a frame for the car keys to be anyplace but in my own coat.

  [Steve opens the closet and finds the keys in his coat pocket] 

• Che Fong : [to Steve]  You know Lieutenant Commander Smallitt?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : For just about 15 years... How are you, George?

  Lt. Cmdr. Smallitt : Hip-deep in an old code: 326J

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Jaybird?... That code was retired just before Panmunjom.

  Lt. Cmdr. Smallitt : Somebody's been using it.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Who?

  Lt. Cmdr. Smallitt : You, Steve.

• Danny Williams : Somebody spent an awful lot of time on this.

  Kono : And money... Two million ain't a little bit.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : How many people can you think of with that much money, that much time, first-rate counterfeiter, patience, access to the nerve gas they used on me, and the technical skill to rig and handle it... I can think of only one man...

  [Cut to Wo Fat climbing out of a submarine] 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [McGarrett is briefing the governor on who he thinks is behind the frame]  It's got to be Wo Fat... He's the only man with the cunning, the resources, and the finances to build a frame like this.

  Governor : But why, Steve?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I don't know, Sir.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [after Che confirms that the code book is in Steve's handwriting]  Danno, you're an expert... What would you say about the matchup?

  Danny Williams : In court, I'd have to say the entries were made by you.
