Quotes 

• NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Well, I told you about the... the brains. I told you about the guts, I told you about the muscle, the scientist, the politician, the leader, I told you about every member of the team, except myself. The part I play.

  Saleem Ulman : Which is?

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : I'm the wild card. I'm the guy who looks at the reality in front of him and refuses to accept it. Like right now I should be terrified, right? But I'm not. Because I just can't stop thinking about the movie "True Lies." You know where Arnie's strapped to the chair, shot full of truth serum? Picks his cuffs, and kills everybody? You have 30 seconds to live, Saleem.

  Saleem Ulman : [chuckles]  No, you're still bound. You're lying.

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : I can't lie. And I didn't say I was going to be the one to kill you. Remember when I told you my boss was a sniper?

  [a bullet flies through window and kills Saleem. Hundreds of yards away, Gibbs looks up from the sights of his rifle] 

  NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [over radio]  Go.

• [flashback: DiNozzo and McGee tackle a humongous sailor in a drug-induced rage] 

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [v.o]  Our team consists of a gang of four. Tight knit. My partner is Tim McGee, small muscles, big brains, heart of a lion. Together we're virtually unstoppable... virtually.

  NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee : I got him... Tony, he's going for the knife!

  [the sailor pulls a knife out of his leg and raises it, only for Gibbs to appear, knock him down and choke him into unconsciousness with his boot] 

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [v.o]  Our team leader is the fearless Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Former Gunnery Sergeant, Marine sniper, coffee aficionado and functional mute.

  NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee : [panting]  Piece of cake.

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [panting]  Simple as pie.

  NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee : Smooth as silk.

  [flashback to the present] 

  Saleem Ulman : And the fourth member of your team?

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : We lost her.

• Saleem Ulman : You were driving the desert with out back up. So what are you doing here?

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Well Saleem, there's only one force on Earth that can short circuit a man's better instincts, put fire in his veins, makes him dive head long into danger with no regard for his own well being... Vengeance, Saleem. I'm here to kill you.

• Saleem Ulman : A mixture of Sodium Pentothal, several other agents effective in extracting the truth. It will not take long for it to start working.

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : You're going to be dead soon. Truth or not? I tell you I think this stuff's working already.

• Saleem Ulman : Got my B.S. from Yale University.

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Yale? Got my B.S. on the streets.

• Saleem Ulman : I don't make bargains.

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Do you make pizza?

• [after Saleem mentions his B.S. from Yale] 

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Yale? You guys got a lousy football team.

  Saleem Ulman : Eighteen national championships.

  NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Yeah, and the last one was, what? A hundred years ago?

  Saleem Ulman : 1927.

  [Tony scoffs] 

  Saleem Ulman : Short memories. That is the impression I have of you as a people.
