- Det. Steve McGarrett: Tell me, doctor... Do you know of anyone who had a reason to kill your wife?
- Dr. Alexander Southmore: I don't understand, Mr. McGarrett. She was robbed... Isn't it obvious why she was killed?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Well... The obvious always bothers me, doctor.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [Looking at tire tracks] Okay, get me photographs and plaster casts... Maybe we'll get lucky.
- Charlie Ling: [Looking at photographs of the stolen jewelry] Is this stuff hot?
- Danny Williams: So hot they could raise blisters.
- David Harper: [Harper is arrested for killing Mrs. Southmore] I don't need a lawyer.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: I'll tell you something, Mr. Harper... I've been a cop a long time, and I've never seen a man who needed a lawyer more.
- Resident: [to McGarrett after David Harper has died] He's dead, apparently from a brain hemorrhage... But that's academic.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: What do you mean, "That's academic"?
- Resident: He' d have died anyway... In a matter of weeks.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: What makes you say that?
- Resident: David Harper was a patient here a few months ago... He insisted on being released when he was told there was nothing that could be done for him... He had leukemia.
- Dr. Alexander Southmore: Mr. McGarrett, I detect a reluctance on your part to accept his confession... Why is that?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Well, doctor... Have you ever ran all the tests you can run on a patient, gotten all the facts, and still feel the diagnosis is wrong somehow?... That there's something missing?
- Dr. Alexander Southmore: Yes, that happens.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: That answers your question, doesn't it?
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [Chin brings McGarrett some Japanese food] I thought your uncle was Chinese?
- Chin Ho: Well, he is... But his joint is in a Japanese neighborhood, so he's passing.
- Chin Ho: Steve, Lieutenant Rice wants to know if you want him to go on looking for the gun.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: [Realizing that Southmore killed his wife] no... NO!... Tell him I just found it!
- Danny Williams: [Dan is at the hospital, researching information on Dr. Southmore] A couple of months ago, Southmore went through the files looking for male patients with terminal illnesses.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: That's good enough, Danno... Come on in.
- Dr. Alexander Southmore: [after McGarrett faces him down with the evidence against him] You're guessing... You can't prove one word you're saying!
- Doc Bergman: [Giving McGarrett a rundown on the shots that killed Mrs. Southmore] There were two shots fired... One in the chest, and one through the left temple. Powder burns indicate the second shot was fired with the gun right against the head.
- Det. Steve McGarrett: Sort of a coup de grace, huh?
- Doc Bergman: Right.
