Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : No, we investigate the murder together. The theft stays classified.
Det. Andrea Sparr : Do I have a choice?

Abby Sciuto : I guess that depends on what you mean by "anything."
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Anything!

NCIS Intel Analyst Nikki Jardine : I've worked all the usual channels - nothing.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : And you thought it was important to come up here and tell me that?

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : What's it saying?
