- Special Agent Timothy McGee: [during a gun fight with Stratton] What's he got - a cannon?
- Ziva David: Sounds like a .50 caliber round. A gun that size that has limited accuracy.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Seems pretty damn accurate to me.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Didn't seem that way at the Navy District New Years Eve Party.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Ha! Gotcha! I didn't even go to the Naval District New Year's Eve Party.
- Ziva David: Neither did I.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I rest my case. Since when did either of you miss a party?... Also known as the Holiday Blues... pre/post. Not at all uncommon.
- Ziva David: Well, only you can do something about that Tony. Change my dear
- [Ziva snaps her fingers]
- Ziva David: requires some action.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: This from a woman who's been waiting 8 weeks for a single solitary phone call from one lousy dude.
- Ziva David: *Seven." And maybe I'm done with waiting - maybe it's time we *both* finally took some action. Maybe...
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs enters] No time for maybes. There's a dead Navy Officer. Nothing maybe about it. Let's go.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [to the unseen passenger] Get out of the truck now!
- Abby Sciuto: [Cut to Abby's lab] Um, maybe you should give Gibbs a call.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Tell him we got an ID.
- Abby Sciuto, Special Agent Timothy McGee: EJ.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Passenger gets out of the truck] Barrett?
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: Hi guys.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You know we were there for you, right?
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: I didn't know anything, Gibbs. Except that I needed answers and couldn't count on anyone else to give them to me.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Not even us?
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: Not without putting you in danger again.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: So you were protecting us?
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: And trying to find out who killed Cade before they killed me.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You know, I noticed something about you EJ. You have a tendency to disappear. I spent a lot of time looking for you - a lot of time. So you didn't think you could reach out?
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: I was scared, Tony. Hell, I don't know why he's after me. It's not like I can identify him.
- [the computer in the background beeps]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Looks like you just did.
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: Well, I can't stay here, Gibbs.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Sure you can. Watch this.
- [to DiNozzo]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Keep her here!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Me?
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: But I'm the one he's after.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: All the more reason not to take a target along.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Boss, I cannot...
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: DiNozzo, make that two targets. If Stratton's behind this guy, then both of you need to sit tight.
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: I've heard a lot of code in my day but my friend, *that* ranks as the lamest.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: What's lame about a couple of guys talking sports. Besides we don't know if these
- [Holding up his cellphone]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: phones have been compromised. Least now we know that Jarvis is onboard.
- Sean Latham: [to Sec Nav Jarvis] I assumed we'd be meeting in Director Vance's office.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [From behind] Oh, there's more than one SCIF, sir. Why don't you have a seat?
- Sean Latham: Agent Gibbs. Guess that leaves you in charge.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Me? No. Sec Nav can hold his own.
- Sean Latham: Drop the gold solider crap. You're a turncoat now. Wanted by your own country. So just... forget about the girl.
- Casey Stratton: I wish I could.
- Sean Latham: *Wish* harder!
- NCIS Special Agent EJ. Barrett: [DiNozzo opens a case filled with weapons] All I wanted for breakfast was the coffee.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Now we're ready for a fair fight.
- Casey Stratton: I'm sorry for your loss, Gibbs. Wrong place. Wrong time.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Got that right.
- [Gibbs makes a phone call]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: We're ready, boss. Game on?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Game over. How are you, DiNozzo?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I don't kill innocent people for money.
- Casey Stratton: So why do you kill innocent people?
- [singing]
- Casey Stratton: South of the border, down Mexico way. That's where I fell in love. Where the stars above came out to play.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Morning.
- Ziva David: Hey.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Meh.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I never thought I'd end up being known as the cheerful one at the office.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Wait, what?
- Ziva David: Are you saying we're not cheerful?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Last couple weeks, I'd say more, I don't know, surly?
- Ziva David: Surly?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Surly you're McStaken.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You know,
- [Tony walks over to Ziva]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: you and I, we have a lot in common in that respect.
- Ziva David: [Ziva chuckles] You think?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I don't think. I know.
- Ziva David: [after considering for a moment] Well then, I am grateful to have someone in my life who is just as romantically dysfunctional as I am.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Agent David, do you really consider me to be in your life?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [Ziva's phone rings, it's Ray] No...
- Ziva David: [exasperated] Yes.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Seriously.
- Ziva David: I mean, what should I say?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [pauses] Say hello.
