Quotes 

• Johnny Resko : [In part of a letter to McGarrett]  "To: Steve McGarrett, Hawaii Five-O... From: Johnny Resko, Walina Street, Waikiki... Think of this like a voice from the dead... You'll receive it only if I've been double-crossed by Piro Manoa, who I am gonna meet tomorrow... If I don't come back from this meeting, my friends will put this letter in the mail... In it you will have enough facts and proof to put Manoa away for life, and throw away the key... I know it all because him and me were like brothers... So if Manoa knifes me in the back tomorrow, this letter to you, McGarrett, is my way of reaching out from the grave and pulling him down with me".

• Johnny Resko : [to Manoa]  I hear you got some kind of deal... I'm listening.

  Piro Manoa : Johnny, Johnny... We gotta talk so stiff?... Like corporation guys?... Like lawyers?... You used to live in my house. We were like brothers.

  Johnny Resko : Yeah, and now I got six blocks in Waikiki, bruddah... So you got a proposition? Spell it out... with numbers.

  Piro Manoa : Business... Always business.

• Piro Manoa : Hey Johnny, remember the first job we pulled in '42?... You tripped that burglar alarm, and I got you out?

  Johnny Resko : Big deal... Sixty two dollars and 20 cents.

  Piro Manoa : You told me 60... You made off with 2 bucks, Johnny.

  Johnny Resko : [laughing]  You made it up to yourself more than once.
