List of voters for the quote

Danny 'Danno' Williams: I have seen you personally put yourself in every conceivable life-threatening situation without batting an eye. Like it's nothing. But, when it comes to talking about your feelings, forget about it. You'd rather choose cyanide. [Steve looks away] Huh? Forget it. Wake me up if they stop, or do something interesting... open up that curtain.Steve McGarrett: [after a long pause] You wanna know why I don't play guitar anymore?Danny 'Danno' Williams: Yes. I would like to know why you don't play guitar anymore.Steve McGarrett: [Another pause] Tenth grade talent show. I signed up to perform. I practiced this song every day for months and months, and the day finally came around. I was standing in the wings. My guitar was in tune. They called me my name. I walked out on stage... and turned around and looked at all those people... And I couldn't do it... I couldn't do it, so I walked off and I never played the guitar again.Danny 'Danno' Williams: That's it?Steve McGarrett: That's it.Danny 'Danno' Williams: Tenth grade. You had stage fright. So, you never played the guitar again?Steve McGarrett: I didn't have stage fright. It was bigger than that. I'm tellin' you, man, it was a, uh... I don't know. I guess it was an existential crisis. I just, in that moment, I couldn't handle... the, the vulnerability that I was experiencing. I couldn't handle how *exposed*... I felt. I felt like I couldn't breathe, and I thought it was gonna kill me. Look, man. I was raised differently than you, okay? I wasn't raised in a house with a supportive family, encouraging me to share my feelings. And, in your case, every feeling. The McGarrett men are a different breed. They- To them, showing emotions is showing weakness. You know? I mean, it's stupid, but it's just the way it is.Danny 'Danno' Williams: I understand that. I just figured after everything we've been through... you know... your father, my brother. Everything. I figured maybe I was, you know... somebody that you could open up to, is all.Steve McGarrett: I just did.
