Scene: Hawaii Five-O Tech. Police Lab.

Kono: … so what we did was we took the video you shot and enhanced it in order to get a better look at our suspect, Wo Fat. 

Savannah: When you say “enhanced,” what do you mean exactly? 

Kono: Uh, well, Five-O is, um, equipped with the latest in digital forensic hardware, which allows us to improve image quality by manipulating zoom, frame rate, um, angle, uh, at the same time increasing resolution. 

Savannah: Wow. Who on the Five-O team is well-versed in all this high-tech wizardry? 

Kono: Uh, that would be me. (chuckles) 

Savannah: How on earth did you get so tech-savvy? 

Kono: Xbox.

Me: (thinks) um, who knew!
