I can’t believe the baby’s coming this early, Danny.

Must take after Stan because you’re late for everything.

Lori:
[Sees Sang Min on the screen] Holy mullet. Who’s this guy?
+++
+++
Kono:
You know Nicky Chang?
Sang Min:
Yeah, sure, boy came up under me. Taught him everything I know.
Lori:
Oh, yeah? Where’s that? The Vidal Sassoon School for Bad Guys?
+++
+++
Steve:
You own a shrimp truck, but you’re bringing lunch to work.
Kamekona:
Trying to eat smarter, bruddah.
Kono:
Shrimp, perfectly healthy.
Kamekona:
Not the way I make ‘em.
+++
+++
Lori:
You sure this is a good idea?
Steve:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ve, uh, we’ve sprung Sang Min before to help with a case.
Lori:
Yeah? How’d that go?
Steve:
Well, he escaped custody, and, uh, he went on the lam for a couple of months, but we — we recaptured him.
+++
+++
Kono:
Good job hiding the wire. Where’d you place it, boss?
McGarrett:
Well, put it this way. Once we’re done, he can keep it.
+++
+++
Danny:
[To Rachel] Please! What are we doing with this hippie new-age garbage? Let’s mainline some drugs, immediately.
+++
+++
Kono:
All right, these chips, they’re manufactured in Thailand?
Nicky:
Outsourcing. Ain’t it a bitch?
+++

Danny:
Grace took 36 hours. I don’t know waiting. Waiting’s the hardest part.
Steve:
You know something I read? That labor pains are the hardest part, Danny.

Joe:
[To Adam] Old Chinese proverb: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Our mutual enemy is Wo Fat.

Rachel:
Can you see what they’re doing? What’s it look like?
Danny:
It looks like a hand grenade went off.
Rachel:
Nice. Thanks.
+++
+++
Joe:
Take it from me. Writing an alimony check once a month is hard enough, but helping your ex through 12 hours of labor? That’s above and beyond.
+++

Danny:
[To Steve] If you say he has my nose, I’ll bust yours.
