Memorable Quotes:

Kamekona:	I hope you didn’t find her online. Lots of crazy ladies online. Scary kind crazy. Not fun crazy.
Chin Ho:	Well, we’ve known each other for a long time. Almost got married once.
Kamekona:	That’s a different kind of crazy.
+++	+++
Danny:	[To Steve] This guy was definitely in the cleaning business, but he wasn’t laundering clothes. He was cleaning money.
+++	+++
Steve:	You want to tell me what’s going on?
Chin Ho:	I didn’t know it was this bad.
Steve:	Why don’t we start with what you did know.
+++	+++
Chin Ho:	[To Kono] Listen to me. You’re not alone. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not any of the days ahead. You’re not alone, because I’m right here.
+++	+++
Fryer:	Now, everybody on this island knows, McGarrett, you play it fast and loose. She was an easy sell that she was dirty. If you’re gonna blame someone for why Kono is in danger, then just look in the mirror.
+++	+++
Steve:	We’re going to be in a van, ready to move, on your word.
Kono:	All right. I couldn’t ask for a better back-up.
+++	+++
Steve:	Nobody messes with my team, all right?
Fryer:	Duly noted, Commander.
+++	+++
Steve:	[To his reunited team] Let’s go home.
