The Ten Commandments
(according to Detective Danny Williams)
1. Thou shalt have no other partners before me. "Or after me, simultaneous with me or in any other way, just so you know."
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any further injuries, bodily or otherwise. "I don't care what you say, McGarrett. Scars do not equate to beauty marks!"
3. Thou shalt not take the name of thy partner in vain. "I call you a Neanderthal as a term of endearment, Steven."
4. Remember the weekend, to keep it holy. "Yes, Steven. The weekend. You know, the less-than-48 hours I get with my daughter every other week? That weekend, which, in spite of what we do, you could at least try to leave me free for!"
5. Honor thy partner and thy partnership. "Which means, for those of us who need to read "Common Sense for Dummies," to stop getting me shot or shot at on a daily basis. All right, fine. Weekly basis."
6. Thou shalt not kill, maim, terrorize suspects, hang suspects off the sides of buildings, throw suspects into shark tanks, perform needless flying tackles just to show off or go in with only me as backup. "I think that's self-explanatory."
7. Thou shalt not commit acts of dubious legality. "Somehow, I don't think our esteemed new governor will accept "It wasn't your task force leader's fault, honest" as a justifiable explanation, Steven."
8. Thou shalt not steal. "That includes motorcycles, or any vehicle no matter how many wheels it has. That also includes my shirt which looks stupidly like a midriff on you, now give it."
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy partner. "Do not lie to me, McGarrett. I know you haven't slept in three days, let alone eaten anything. I also am very well aware of the fact that my hatred of the ocean waves perturbs you and that you find my bed head curiously and strangely as endearing as the owner of said bed head, so don't even try to say you don't."
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's. "Um…Steve…is there something you want to tell me about your neighbor's ass…?"
