Quotes 

• G. Callen : [Callen and Sam enter. Hetty's on the phone with Deeks and Kensi watching]  I don't like the looks of this.

  Marty Deeks : We'll then you're not going to like the sound of it.

  Sam Hanna : What's going on?

  Kensi Blye : The State Department has suddenly gotten involved in our case, and graciously asked that NCIS stand down.

  G. Callen : Stand down?

  Kensi Blye : Yeah.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : As in withdraw, acquiesce, retrocede, cease and desist.

  Marty Deeks : Your thesaurus runth deep, Hetty.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : And your drawl runth over, Mr. Deeks.

• Sam Hanna : Yeah, well Hetty just got me a new coffee maker -except this one takes an extra long time to brew.

  G. Callen : Waiting can be the hardest part. Takes a lot out of you.

  Sam Hanna : The waiting I can deal with. This uh, coffee maker came with a special mug - an incredibly stunning mug.

  G. Callen : That can be tricky, because if you get distracted by the mug...

  Sam Hanna : I know.

  G. Callen : Or if you let things heat up.

  Sam Hanna : I know.

  G. Callen : That's when you get burned.

• Kensi Blye : What are the chances of Maeko Tanaka hiding out in Malibu?

  Sam Hanna : I'd say zero to none.

  G. Callen : Well, we still have to check it out.

  Marty Deeks : Road trip to the 'Bu.

  Sam Hanna : Please don't call it that. It just encourages the people who live there.

  Marty Deeks : But I really want to be a member of the But-tang clan.

  Sam Hanna : [to Kensi]  Please make him stop.

• Akio Tanaka : [In Japanese to his cellphone]  Maeko. Good morning. There is an American Policeman here who would like to talk with you... No, I don't know why... Humor him.

  Sam Hanna : [In Japanese]  You wish I was just a cop.

• G. Callen : Look who he's up against. Tanaka makes one call and a Federal Investigation is DOA.

  Sam Hanna : Semper Fi. Tanaka and State Department forced us to choose sides. I'll side with the Marine everytime.

• Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : An illegal Japanese immigrant, and the reputation of a former Marine are hardly matters of National Security.

  Sam Hanna : Is that so? A Fire Team is composed of 3 Marines and their leader. 3 Fire Teams make a squad. 3 Squads make s platoon. 3 platoons, a company. And so on, and so one. All the way up to an entire division. But it all starts with one Marine. A SEAL never leaves a man behind. But that's exactly what we're doing.

  G. Callen : You know he's right, Hetty. Maeko is the only person who can prove Connor's innocent. If we let Tanaka get away with this, it's like saying that his money is worth more than an innocent life.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Why do I feel as if my short leash is about to strangle me? You can't go at it - guns blazing. Tanaka is a modern-day Samurai. Which means to pull this off, you guys have to be modern-day ninjas.

  Sam Hanna : Ninjas?

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : No one can know this was us.

  G. Callen : Who's more discreet than us?
