Memorable Quotes:

Danny:	Do you know what the greatest invention of all time is?
Chin Ho:	What?
Danny:	It’s the ignore button. I have a theory. Whoever invented the modern cellular phone also had an ex-wife.
+++	+++
Chin Ho:	How do you know they went this way?
Steve:	Tracking humans in terrain like this is about one thing. Seeing what’s out of context in nature and knowing what caused it. Like that flat overturned rock back up there? It would have taken a 200-pound man running downhill to do that. That rock also indicates they’re about one hour ahead of us.
Chin Ho:	Really? The rock told you that?
+++	+++
Chin Ho:	[To Julie about Steve] Some guys? They’re just born without a fear gene.
+++	+++
Attorney:	I’m lodging a complaint against you for harassment with the judge.
Kono:	You know, some people have trouble with my name, so let me help you out. It’s Kono Kalakaua. K-a-l-a-k-a-u-a.
+++	+++
Steve:	Danny, what are you doing?
Danny:	I’m not doing anything.
Steve:	Listen, okay? I may not be able to see you, okay, but I can hear you and you have a tone.
Danny:	Tone? I don’t have a tone. I don’t have a tone.
Steve:	Okay, you say I have a face, you my friend, you have a tone, okay and it’s a tone that says, ‘I’m gonna hit somebody’. Now, what’s going on?
+++	+++
Danny:	[To Hoffman] Williams. Williams. You can get my badge number off your forehead.
+++	+++
Chin Ho:	[To Kono] You know, there might be a few other things I can teach you. But I think you’ve got the whole ass-kicking thing down.
