Quotes
-
Leon Vance : Mrs. Sterling was telling you the truth, at least partly. She did go back to work for the I.R.S., just not as an auditor. She's been promoted to a GS-11 position in Enforcement.
Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : Which means...?
Diane Sterling : It means that you two aren't the only ones with a badge!
[She slaps her badge down on Vance's desk. Gibbs and Fornell both peer at it]
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Wow...
Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : My breakfast burrito is about to say, "hello!"
Leon Vance : The I.R.S. Deputy Commissioner called when he heard that we had one of their agents.
Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : "Agents"?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Wow...
Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : And the Lord wept.

Diane Sterling : [to McGee] Chuckie, could you pull up the IRS mainframe? Directory: D. Sterling. Password: Tobias cheap.
-
Diane Sterling : Believe it or not, I think I just need a hug.
Timothy McGee : I'm not hugging you.
Diane Sterling : Why not?
Timothy McGee : Because it's not gonna happen.
Diane Sterling : You come over here and hug me right now, dammit!
-
Diane Sterling : [yelling at the interrogation room mirror] And you two! What, are you too afraid to come in here and face me yourselves!
Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : [from the observation room] I won't dignify that with a response!
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : You just did.
-
Diane Sterling : [briefing Gibbs's team] As I told Frick and Frack already, somebody is running a major fraud operation against the I.R.S., stealing hundreds of identities, stealing thousands in fake tax returns. We've traced the identity thefts...
Anthony DiNozzo : To the Navy bar where Gibbs and Fornell bumped into you.
Ziva David : And you think someone there was lifting driver's license info.
Timothy McGee : Probably Seaman Brown. As a bouncer, he would have checked every I.D. that came through the door.
[Reluctantly impressed, Diane turns to Gibbs]
Diane Sterling : You must be very proud, Jethro.
-
Anthony DiNozzo : Does your husband know that you're walking around town posing as Mrs. Fornell?
Diane Sterling : Victor is in Turks and Caicos, at a destination wedding, with my daughter.
Anthony DiNozzo : What's the matter? You didn't get invited?
Diane Sterling : Yes, I was invited. I just needed a little time to myself...
[points sharply at the two-way mirror]
Diane Sterling : Stuff it, you two! I can hear you smirking from in here!
[Cut to inside the observation room, where Gibbs and Fornell are indeed smirking]
-
Diane Sterling : Listen, you tell Agent "Muh-Gee" that when I catch up with his scrawny ass...!
[Vance enters the interrogation room]
Leon Vance : Gibbs, the interrogation is ov...
[He is confused to see Tony, not Gibbs, interrogating Diane, who just points at the observation room mirror, then herself, then at the mirror again]
Leon Vance : Right. Should have seen that one coming.
-
Leon Vance : All right, calm down. If there was a hit put out on you, it means Agent Sterling is getting close. Which also means she's in danger, too.
Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : I want to see your files!
Diane Sterling : [scoffs] No way.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Wasn't a request.
Diane Sterling : Oh, I'm so sorry, let me rephrase that: Go...!
Leon Vance : I said, calm down.
-
Diane Sterling : It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind.
Anthony DiNozzo : [holds up an evidence bag] Is it also a woman's prerogative to carry two fake I.D.'s?
Diane Sterling : [lip curling] You went through my purse?
Anthony DiNozzo : [recoils slightly] No... McGee did.
-
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : You got to give Victor a break.
Diane Sterling : Excuse me? Who told you that Victor and I are having prob... oh, it was Chucky! He is such a dead man. Okay, what do I have to give Victor a break for?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : For being him and not somebody else. You got it let it go, Diane. I couldn't, and I drove everybody away... and the last thing you want to be is me.
Diane Sterling : You're not so bad. But I hear you.
