Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  [Colonel Farraday is aiming a rifle at his son, Jay] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Colonel... That's cold-blooded murder. Give me that rifle. Give me the rifle. Let the law take it from here, Colonel.

  [Colonel Farraday relents and tosses the rifle to McGarrett] 

  Colonel Farraday : [referring to his son, Jay]  Get him off my land!

  Det. Steve McGarrett : [referring to Colonel Farraday]  Book him too, Danno. Kidnapping.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : Danno? Have you ever met Colonel Farraday?

  Dan Williams : Never had the pleasure.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : He owns and operates one of the largest cattle ranches in the world, over 200,000 acres. It's an empire and he's often been accused of running it like an emperor. Don't let him intimidate anybody.

  Dan Williams : Gotcha.

• Jay Farraday : The Colonel's at the stallion barn. You can only get there by riding a horse, or you can walk... Walking is about five miles on that road. Riding's maybe three.

  [Steve McGarrett takes off his tie and unbuttons the top button of his shirt] 

  Det. Steve McGarrett : I'll ride.

• Colonel Farraday : And by what authority do you come on my land and ask me anything?

  Det. Steve McGarrett : In case it missed your notice, your land is still part of the sovereign state of Hawaii whether you like it or not.

  Colonel Farraday : In case it missed your notice, McGarrett, my land was here a long time before the state of Hawaii. It was a royal grant from King Kamehameha, dating back to 1810.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Thanks for the history lesson, Colonel, but my question is still unanswered.

• Det. Steve McGarrett : You're a rich and powerful man, Colonel. But no one... no one is rich or powerful enough to take the law into his own hands.
