Quotes 

• Goodman : [withdrawing a stack of cash from a wall safe]  A friend, you say? Well, I hope she's a good friend. Trusts you. $5,000 is no small sum.

  Gar : [taking the wads of cash]  She trusts us, Mr. Goodman...

  Goodman : Let me see now, that's the third unwed mother you referred - oh, no, I'm sorry. The first baby was your own, conceived in wedlock. The second unwed mother that you referred to me. You know, I don't mean to sound critical, but have you people ever heard of The Pill?

  Gar : Moral judgments, Mr. Goodman?

  Goodman : No, no, I've been an attorney too long for that. Call it immorality or amorality, it certainly has been good for a great number of unfortunate couples who desperately want to adopt.

  Gar : Your childless clients may be "unfortunate," but they sure can pay.

  Goodman : And they do.

• Gar : I mean, this is what we've been after all our lives, isn't it, huh? I mean, freedom. You know a better way than to own a boat of our own?

  Nina : Hey, you've been watching too many of those old movies.

  Gar : But those old movies aren't so wrong, baby!

• Nina : [to Gar]  You know, I think he might go to sleep for a while... If you keep your voice down.

  Gar : You see?, just having that kid around for one night gets to be a drag!

• Nina : [Gar has just bought first class tickets to Honolulu]  Can we afford this?

  Gar : Don"t worry... This is Jason's treat.

• Gar : [to Nina about thier child]  Why didn't you name him Gar?... Good old American custom to hame a boy after his father.

  Nina : Because as I remember, his father didn't want him... His father wanted the money instead... Isn't that the way it went, Daddy?

• Nina : [Nina realizes something is wrong when Gar can't contact Goodman]  What if they're on to us... I mean the police.

  Gar : Then we'll fake'em out.

• Danny Williams : [Aftter they catch Gar and Nina]  What did you do to the baby?

  Nina : We gave her a sedative.

  Gar : We wouldn't hurt that kid.

  Det. Steve McGarrett : No, of course not... Damaged merchandise brings the price down, doesn't it?

  Gar : Not the price, not money... Freedom. We did it to be free!

  Det. Steve McGarrett : Free?... We'll see how free you feel in a cell, 6 feet by 8 feet!... Book them.

• Gar : [Nina is looking sadly at Andy]  NIna, come on... You're ruining the kick.

  Nina : Sorry.

• Gar : [after buying first class tickets to Honolulu]  Hey, what's the movie?

• Gar : [Talking to Nina about buying a sailboat]  Just the two of us alone on our own boat... Eight islands, hundreds of coves... Miles and miles of coastline... And if that doesn't satisfy us, we take off.

• Gar : [Trying to convince Nina to buy a sailboat]  We'll find...

  Nina : ...Find what?

  Gar : Peope, places... Paradise, Nina... Enchanted islands, Nirvana.

• Gar : [Upon seeing the motel room they just rented]  Hey, do people still use the word "dump"?

• Gar : [after hearing the Empson's broadcast]  You know what this world is like?... IT'S A RIPOFF WORLD!

  Nina : No, it's not!

  Nina : So, why shouldn't we pull the ultimate ripoff?

• Nina : [to Gar after sizing up the next baby to kidnap]  Second house up... The baby's on the lanai.

  Gar : Okay.

• Gar : You can't have the Coast Guard invading our private little eden, can we?

  Nina : No, we can't
