Quotes
-
Ellie Bishop : You do not know what you're missing.
Nick Torres : Look, if this is just a ploy to see me with my shirt off, I can make that happen right now.
Ellie Bishop : You have quite the imagination.
Nick Torres : The offer still stands. You say the word, I'll lose my shirt.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [entering] And the job, Torres.
-
Nick Torres : Hey, Gibbs, did you get Bishop's e-vite?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : What the hell's an e-vite?
-
Timothy McGee : Boss, how'd you even know that was the Rosewood Boyz?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : The bike tipped me off.
Alex Quinn : How'd you know which bike?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : The one with the big rose painted on the side.
-
Jimmy Palmer : It's sad when they come in so young.
Donald Mallard : It is indeed, but then you and I both know that all of life is a near-death experience. We must never cease to give thanks for the gift of today. Isn't that right, Jethro?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [entering] I'll tell you tomorrow.
Donald Mallard : Well, if one is an incident and two is a coincidence, then three is most certainly a pattern. Like our Marine, these two died of double tap.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Same technique, bigger weapon.
-
Nick Torres : Why'd you hit the... the emergency button?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Because I can.
Nick Torres : We don't have an emergency, Gibbs.
[seeing his stoic expression]
Nick Torres : Or do we?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Tell me.
Nick Torres : Tell you what?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : What are you hiding?
Nick Torres : Okay. Let's talk. Where to start?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : The truth.
Nick Torres : What if I'm not sure I know it anymore?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : We find it. I can't help unless you help yourself. Time to tear off that Band-Aid.
-
Nick Torres : I planted evidence. I planted evidence to get Monroe off the streets, so no other people, especially my friends, would get murdered.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Gang members.
Nick Torres : What they do. Not who they are.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Any regrets?
Nick Torres : Zero. No regrets. That Rosewood investigation swallowed me up whole. And when another two Rosewoods got smoked... I swiped the pistol he used to do it and I tossed it in the bushes next to the victims.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : His victims?
Nick Torres : Yes.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : You're sure?
Nick Torres : Absolutely. He looked me in the eye and said "I killed them both." And that was just the tip of the spear. Gibbs, he was cleaning house. I had no choice. I had to do it.
[Gibbs remains silent]
Nick Torres : I was hoping this is the part where you'd say "Hey, Torres, your job is secure. When I was a young NIS agent, uh... I did the same thing."
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [starting the elevator] Torres, we got a lot more in common than you think. But my Band-Aids, they always stay on.
[reaching their floor, Gibbs gets off and Torres moves to follow him]
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Abby. Mud. Go. Don't come back without an answer.
-
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : You did the wrong thing for the right reasons. Never do that again. Been a long week, Torres. Late. Go home.
