Kat: Give me a bunk up and no looking up my skirt.

Nate hates the Martin family and everything they represent but Audrey, well Audrey's different.
Cayden: "I know it was you Keawe, now why don't you just hand it over and we can all leave here in one piece."
Nate: "Knowing and proving are too different things altogether Captain. And I wouldn't threaten me, not in my own home and not when your surrounded by my men."
Riley: "Don't listen to him sir, I can take them."
Nate: "I'm sure you could but your boss, probably not so much. Come back when you have a little something called proof. Or you, Lieutenant Riley, you can come back anytime you like."
