Peter Lenkov and Daniel Dae Kim received considerable flak from the locals for having Chin Ho say “flip-flops” instead of “slippers” in episode 1.05. In 2.12, Steve suggests “boardies and slippers” for Chin’s and Malia’s beach wedding.

Memorable Quotes:

Joe:	I didn’t know Danny was living at the Hilton.
Steve:	Oh, he’s kind of between places right now.
Joe:	You got space.
Steve:	Yeah, we, uh, we tried that. It didn’t work out so well.
+++	+++
Kamekona:	So what you guys think? Buttercup, Cabernet, Paisley Lavender Sunset for the vest?
Chin Ho:	No, no, no. Malia was very specific. There are no vests, no bow ties, and no paisley lavender anything.
+++	+++
Chin Ho:	This whole valley has hundreds of these unexplored lava tubes.
Danny:	I’m thinking there’s a reason they’re unexplored.
Max:	Actually –
Danny:	Whoa!
Max:	– the system has been explored, just not mapped by the Underground Paradise Spelunking Club, of which I am a founding member and treasurer.
Danny:	Oh, well, thank you, Captain Caveman.
+++	+++
Chin Ho:	That looks deep.
Max:	I estimate the floor to be at a depth of 30 meters.
Danny:	Thirty meters. Well, this definitely looks like a job for a Navy SEAL.
+++	+++
Chin Ho:	[To Danny] You’ve been hanging with McGarrett too long.
+++	+++
Danny:	Okay. Hold on. All right? Look. You got a case. We got a case.
Fryer:	He’s right. Let’s let bygones be bygones. Let’s pool our resources and work this case together.
Steve:	Okay, fine.
Danny:	All right. Good! All right, this is nice. Maybe you guys wanna hug it out a little bit. Fist bump?
Steve:	Uh uh –
Danny:	Something like that?
Fryer:	Um, no. Let’s just work the case, okay?
+++	+++
Steve:	[To Fryer] Put your grass skirt on, partner, we got work to do.
