Memorable Quotes:

Danny:	I’m going to talk to these models.
Steve:	Okay, just stay with questions related to the case, all right?
Danny:	What’s that supposed to mean?
Steve:	It means that I know you. I’m just saying, stick to the case.
Danny:	Hey, hey – they’re just women.
Chin Ho:	Who happen to be insanely hot and make millions of dollars.
Danny:	I didn’t know either of those things.
Kono:	You’re so busted.
+++	+++
Danny:	[To Steve] Look at this: the guy is like a fifteen year-old girl. All text messages, no phone calls.
+++	+++
Danny:	[To Steve] It’s not coded text, no need for your little Ramboette. This is not your cloak-and-dagger spook speak, this is Daddy’s world, okay?
+++	+++
Danny:	Yeah, I got the perfect guy. A real whale.
Steve:	A high-stakes gambler?
Danny:	No, he’s literally a whale.
+++	+++
Kamekona:	You don’t understand. These are big, scary guys.
Danny:	Big, scary guys, huh?
+++	+++
Danny:	I’m sorry, I just overheard. Did you say, “lickings”? Do you know how difficult it is to sound like a tough guy when you say a word like “lickings”? Just try “beatings”, “I’m gonna give you a beating”, it works, trust me. On a lot of different levels.
+++	+++
Marcum:	Gentlemen, I take it you’re part of Honolulu’s law enforcement community.
Danny:	What gave us away?
Marcum:	You’re wearing a tie in Hawaii.
+++	+++
Danny:	I’m still taking surfing lessons, so you know. And word on the street is that I shred.
