Jack Lord: Det. Steve McGarrett

Quotes 

• Tasi : [Tasi is leaving McGarrett's office]  Oh... In order to aid the man that you will send to follow me... I'll go at once to my bowling alley... I will not go to visit that stupid Jap, that powdery Chinaman, or that Gook slob.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Wait a minute... This is Hawaii, U.S.A... It's time for your English lesson... Repeat slowly: Japanese, Chinese, Korean.

  Tasi : You know what you can do with your English lesson

  [Tasi spits] 

• Tasi : [Tasi is caught by McGarrett after killing Afuso]  The speedometer on this car says it goes up to 120 miles an hour, but I was flooring it and it wouldn't go past 90!

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Call Ralph Nader!

• Danny Williams : [Looking at French McCoy's ID]  Francis J. McCoy, Miami Beach, Florida... Francis J.?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Yeah, French McCoy

  Danny Williams : One of Big Uncles's men.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : French McCoy doesn't take vacations... When he travels, it's strictly business.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to Dan as they are recovering French McCoy's body]  I wonder how Big Uncle is gonna take this.

• Danny Williams : [Looking at French McCoy's body]  Too bad he can't tell us who knifed him.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : [Noticing French McCoy's finger missing]  Maybe he has.

• Tasi : [McGarrett has Tasi in his office]  Are you going to arrest me, McGarrett?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : NOT A CHANCE!... I'm not gonna do you any favors!

  [McGarrett points to Tasi's head] 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [to his men, fearing a gang war on the island]  Well, they're not gonna turn this island into their battlefield!

  Kono : To who?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : That powdery Chinaman.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Steve wants to inspect Jake's bag for weapons]  Open it.

  Jake : That's unreasonable search and seizure.

  Chin Ho : He's memorized the constitution.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Jake is being escorted back to his plane]  Aloha, Mr. Hirsh.

  Jake : Aloha to you pal... And ram it!

  [McGarrett smiles] 

• Det. Steve McGarrett : Kono, go get Li Wing and Kim Lo Lang... I want them here in this office right away.

  Kono : What are you gonna do, Boss?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I'm gonna tell both of them something one of them already knows.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : [Handing Li Wing airline tickets]  My part of the bargain... One-way tickets to Taiwan... Be on it.
