- Ziva David: [through intercom] Yes?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: It's Gibbs.
- Ziva David: Come on up.
- Adriana Gorgova: He sounds pleasant.
- Ziva David: That's our boss. A man of few words.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: To quote the agent that'll walk in here with him, "a functional mute." I suggest you don't mess with him too much.
- [a few minutes later]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Special Agent Gibbs.
- Adriana Gorgova: Heard you're the silent type.
- [Gibbs smiles, but says nothing]
- Ziva David: How long do you think we're going to be together?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: You and Ray?
- Ziva David: No, us. I mean you've been here 7 years. Tony's been here longer.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I do think about that myself sometimes. I mean - Tony turned down a post in Spain 4 years ago. Careerwise, he can't do that again.
- Ziva David: Do you think you'd want to lead your own team?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: ...Yeah. Yeah. Someday sure.
- Abby Sciuto: [DiNozzo doesn't want to donate blood] I don't understand. You donated your sperm when you were in college.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Yes, it's a much more pleasurable delivery system.
- Adriana Gorgova: What's with McGee?
- [DiNozzo chuckles]
- Ziva David: What do you mean?
- Adriana Gorgova: Is there a... Mrs. McGee?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [chuckles] What a concept.
- Ziva David: No. He's not married.
- Adriana Gorgova: Girlfriend?
- Ziva David: Not that I know of.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Okay, what am I missing here, huh? We talking about the same guy - Timothy McGee? The Ichabod Crane who speaks in algorithms, and looks like he has some kind of permanently frumpy expression on his face?
- Ziva David: Do not listen to him, Adriana. McGee is a very sweet man, he is intelligent, and he is *loyal*...
- [fakes a shot at Tony, who flinches away shielding his groin]
- Ziva David: ... to a fault.
- Adriana Gorgova: [Adriana's in the bathroom] Tim, I need your help.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: You decent?
- Adriana Gorgova: You'll find out when you get here.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: [Quietly to himself] This is not a good idea.
- Adriana Gorgova: Tim!
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Boss, this is all my fault. I take responsibility for what happened here. You'll have my resignation by the end of the day.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You break protocol, McGee?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: No but...
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I'm responsible. You're part of a team. You're part of *my* team! And I sure as Hell am not turning in my badge!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [DiNozzo pulls out an FBI Crime Scene Placard] One of his guys left this lying around. Very sloppy. It'll be like we were never here.
- [DiNozzo enters the crime scene]
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: We are so screwed.
- Joe Don Wynn: So you gonna talk to the judge, right?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: No.
- Joe Don Wynn: What? You said you would!
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I said I could, but I won't! You built a bomb that killed a US Marine.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Defense treaty was just signed. Gorgova and his party are departing Andrews at 1345.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Adrianna with him?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Mm-hm.
- Ziva David: Wait. So she cooperates in her own kidnapping and then she gets off Scotch free?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: "Scot".
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Diplomatic immunity.
- [first lines]
- Leon Vance: [to Gibbs] The State Department's breathing down my neck. I'm due in MTAC in 15 minutes to brief the White House.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Sir...
- Leon Vance: Shut up DiNozzo! David, put that equipment back in the truck. This is an FBI crime scene now. If this isn't rectified in 48 hours, I want DiNozzo and McGee's badges on my desk!
- Ziva David: [Tony's staring open-mouthed at Adriana] Close your mouth, Tony. Her radar's locked on McGee.
- Leon Vance: Nothing ever changes. Does it, Gibbs? Rules just don't apply to you, do they?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: We were doing our job, Leon.
- Leon Vance: When were you going to tell me about the daughter?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Why'd you assume we screwed up? Girl was in on her own kidnapping, Leon. It couldn't have been prevented by anyone.
- Leon Vance: That's your theory. Do you have any proof?
