- Eric Beale: [Clears throat] I wouldn't exactly call it a problem. More of a situation - may be a problem.
- Nell Jones: Because I'm new?
- Eric Beale: No. Because you...
- Nell Jones: Finish your sentences.
- Eric Beale: Yeah.
- Nell Jones: Has to do with being a type "A" with borderline ADD. And control issues with men I admire.
- [Clears throat]
- Nell Jones: It's something I'm aware of and working on and hope to have some measure of control over.
- Eric Beale: You admire me?
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: This is the Rolex M-Series. Milgauss green. Faraday Cage construction. 40mm polished stell bezil. Rumored to become the most collected Rolex ever.
- Marty Deeks: Mm-hmm. Does it shoot poisonous gas or anything cool?
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: ...You scratch it, you bought it!
- Sam Hanna: Hetty's Birthday. Every year it's the same thing. She doesn't want a gift. She doesn't want a party.
- Marty Deeks: So every year you give her a gift and throw her a party.
- Kensi Blye: Of course.
- Marty Deeks: What if she really doesn't want one?
- Sam Hanna: What if she says she doesn't and really does?
- Marty Deeks: Her feelings could be hurt if you don't
- Sam Hanna: Exactly.
- Marty Deeks: On the other hand, she's going to be really angry if she actually doesn't and you do.
- 'G' Callen: Exactly.
- Sam Hanna: I was a receiver. A damn good wide receiver.
- 'G' Callen: You wanted to be quarterback.
- Sam Hanna: Everybody wants to be a quarterback. Quarterbacks are the stars. Quarterbacks get all the glory, get the applause.
- 'G' Callen: They get girls.
- Sam Hanna: Eh, that too.
- Kensi Blye: In this day and age, why would you write anything but your signature by hand?
- Marty Deeks: Doesn't make sense.
- Sam Hanna: It's ridiculous.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: What have I done to put together a group with no appreciation of the handwritten word? Even our ledger have intrinsically more meaning to the writer and by extension to the reader. I'm at a loss.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: And Ms. Blye, it's your wrist that hopefully makes the biggest impression on Mr. Anshiri. From ancient Babylonia. Displayed in Baghdad's National Museum until the US invasion.
- Marty Deeks: How did you -?
- Kensi Blye: Y...
- Sam Hanna: It's LA. Even a troll could score a supermodel if he's rolling large.
- 'G' Callen: Where does that leave us?
- Sam Hanna: Aw, don't sweat it, G. I have a charming personality.
- 'G' Callen: Uh huh.
- Sam Hanna: And you - you're kind of screwed.
- 'G' Callen: I attract more of a - an intellectual type.
- Sam Hanna: Oh yeah? Good luck with that.
- Sam Hanna: This place is flavor of the month. Four weeks to get a res. It's LA.
- 'G' Callen: Then we do what everybody else in LA does.
- Sam Hanna: Buy our way in?
- 'G' Callen: Lie.
- 'G' Callen: Eric, get me a name for Corporal Andrew Peterson's girlfriend in San Ysidro. I need it fast.
- Eric Beale: Name?
- 'G' Callen: Ellen. No last.
- Nell Jones: Do they always expect miracles?
- Eric Beale: [Eric sighs] Pretty much.
