Quotes
-
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : I'm surprised you could understand him, Ziva. He spoke perfect English.
Officer Ziva David : You're xenophobic!
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : I am not Xena-phobic! It's one of my favorite shows: leather skirts, lesbian sword fighting, female empowerment. Maybe I'm a little... Ziva-phobic.
-
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [smacked in the head yet again by Gibbs] You know, repeated trauma to the head can cause brain damage.

Officer Ziva David : Why?

Officer Ziva David : [confused] What are contraptions?
-
Officer Ziva David : [On phone] No, no, no, it's not you, it's just... well, you know, these things run their course and... well, you, you must accept that...

[Takes phone]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Listen, Dirtbag, this is Ziva's husband. I have your phone number now. I can find your address. If you ever try to contact her again, I will reach down your throat, grab your intestines, rip them out and drive over your head. Lose this number or lose your life.
[Hangs up]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : You're welcome.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [as McGee is explaining what he's doing on the computer] Less narration, McGee.
Special Agent Timothy McGee : Tracing.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [to Ziva, as McGee's fingers continue to fly on the computer keyboard] Look at that. It's incredible. Probie's lips are still moving - while he's working! It's like one of those Romanian orphans who can't stop rocking.
Officer Ziva David : You are so prejudiced.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : I am not. I'm not! By the way, that's a contraction. *I'm.* You should try it sometime.

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Take my money, take my money, take my money. Give me my candy.
[Hits vending machine when it rejects the wrinkled note]
Officer Ziva David : You cannot buck the system, Tony.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Trade bucks with me?
[Ziva hands over a stack of coins in exchange for the wrinkled note]
Officer Ziva David : If you stop forcing things, they will come to you.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Thank you, Obi-Wan.
Officer Ziva David : Why don't you like immigrants?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : What? My great-grandparents came through Ellis Island. Not the first class lounge at El Al.
Officer Ziva David : I came here in the jump seat of a C-130 with turbulence.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Whatever. My point is, you're here on a weekend fun pass. I'm the immigrant. My family came here with nothing. Just loads of charm, talent and great looks. My great-grandfather drove a truck for $2 a day. Took him 20 years to start his own transportation company. And now their great-grandson is an NCIS agent. So don't tell me about the immigrant experience. Until you are one.
Officer Ziva David : Any of that true?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Parts.
[Takes a bite of the candy bar, then shows her his teeth]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Is this stuck in my teeth.
Officer Ziva David : Nothing sticks to you.
[Uses the wrinkled note and it works]
Officer Ziva David : Do you ever think about soul mates?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : They were on Decca, right? Big hit mid-'70s. Sort of a disco thing. Sing a few bars, I'll get it.
Officer Ziva David : You'll never get it.
-
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : What's his real name?
Delphin Abaka : I don't know. We keep secrets, because secrets keep us alive.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : We don't put people in jail for cooperating, but we do put them in jail for not cooperating.
Officer Ziva David : Tony...
Delphin Abaka : [scoffs] I have been tortured in prison. I am not afraid of your legal system.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Dinozzo, put them up.
[Their findings on the plasma screen]
Officer Ziva David : All three were shot with a nine-millimeter. And all three autopsies showed a tooth missing.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [to Dinozzo] Enlarge the photos.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [Types furiously] Ah.
[Groaning]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Ah.
[Screen glitches]
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Oh. Come on. Tell me you didn't just lose all that information.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [Whispers] McGee!
[McGee walks over to Dinozzo's computer]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : I hit the space bar.
Special Agent Timothy McGee : Just push the buttons I tell you to push, monkey.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Love is not treating you well, my friend.
Special Agent Timothy McGee : Yeah, no kidding.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Those real?
[Looking at Taxi ID's in a lock box]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : No. Fakes. But they're really good fakes. Guy's a regular cab coyote.
Officer Ziva David : Is that like a wolf in sheep's clothing?
Special Agent Timothy McGee : A coyote is a person who exploits people that come to this country illegally.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [to Ziva] As opposed to outsourcing, which is what you are.
