Okay, so everything you’re gonna cook for me this week is gonna have Spam in it?

Of course. It’s the Hawaiian steak. The nectar of the islands.

Do you know what’s in Spam? I’ll tell you. Its processed pork parts, salt and meat stock.

That’s what give ‘em the glaze!

Tangential’. Williams, you don’t have to bust out the big words to impress me.

[To Kono] Destruction of government property – you’ve been hanging out with McGarrett too long.
+++

Danny:
Please don’t do that.
Steve:
What?

Please don’t put both your hands on the wheel. Every time you do that, something terrible happens and I have to pray. Please?

Steve:
Jimmy Cannon.
Cannon:
Who the hell are you?

Well, if you have to ask, your reputation is exaggerated or you’re slipping.

Growing up in poverty and making something of yourself used to be considered a virtue in this country.

Is that Capone? [To Danny] Did he just quote Capone?

I think it was Gotti. Was it Gotti?
Steve:
Was it Gotti, is it John Gotti?

Are you two done? Because I’d like to get back to lunch with my son.

Danny:
You? Forget it, I don’t even wanna know what you would do.
Steve:
No, I would be by the book.
Danny:
The book?
Steve:
I would be by the book.
Danny:
Which book would that be, I ask? Patriot Act for Dummies? How to Nuke Your Enemies? War and Peace, minus the peace part?
+++

SA Marsh:
I want to talk to your boss.
Steve:
Lady, I answer to God and to the Governor. Neither of whom are gonna help you out right now, so take a seat.
