Memorable Quotes:
Steve:
What happened to you man? Where’s your sentimental side? There’s nothing in there.
Danny:
I don’t have a sentimental side, okay? And if I did, it would be reserved for human beings. Not dopey machines.
Steve:
Classic machine.
Danny:
One person’s classic is another person’s scrap metal.
Steve:
Well thank you very much, Socrates.

Steve:
What are you doing there?
Danny:
I’m buying a car. What does it look like I’m doing?
Steve:
It looks like you’re doing Downward Dog but I know you don’t do yoga.
Danny:
That’s funny. No, I’m stretching, because my back hurts. You know why my back hurts?
Steve:
No, I don’t know. Why does your back hurt?
Danny:
I’ll tell you why. Because I spent the morning pushing a car down the Pali Highway.
Steve:
Oh. Where I come from, that’s called getting exercise.
Danny:
Where is that, Krypton? ‘Cause where I come that’s called a worker’s comp settlement.

How did you guys find me?

We went by your shop. They told us you were out here.

They’re fired.

Steve:
When did you start jogging?
Kamekona:
I’m training, brah.
Danny:
Did he just say he’s in a training bra?
Kamekona:
You’re funny. I’m training for a sumo competition.
Danny:
Oh, sumo. Shouldn’t you be wearing a diaper, a big diaper or something like that?
Kamekona:
It’s called a mawashi, brah. Lip off to me one more time. I’ll give you a personal introduction to the sport.

Big Lono:
You see that door? That’s built to withstand a 300-pound Samoan meth addict. So back off before you break a nail, sunshine.
Danny:
How about you open it, or I’ll come over there and break your face.
Big Lono:
You got some kind of learning disability? Read my lips: you, me – we’re done talking.

Danny:
[To Steve] Come on! What is the matter with you? You need help! I will pay for it!

Priceless.

Chin Ho:
Those work?
Bartender:
Yeah, boss put them in last year to make sure we carded everyone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah – at least you didn’t call me your father.
