Mark Harmon: Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Last Man Standing

Leroy Jethro Gibbs

NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [after learning his new field team is the target of a mole hunt] You were gonna get around to telling me?
NCIS Director Leon Vance: Had no evidence. I figured I'd put you with them, your radar would go off, and one day you'd come to me and say you had a doubt about one of them.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: A "doubt"? A "doubt", Leon? I got a doubt about every one of them. Got a former FBI guy who doesn't listen, got a boy genius who doesn't drive, got a lawyer who doesn't shoot.

Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Mr. Palmer, tell Agent Gibbs he can send in the B team.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs enters] Implies there's an A team, Duck.
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Isn't there?
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: They're all A teams.
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Perhaps some even A plus.

NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [after someone calls McGee Boss] "Boss"?
NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: [Looks up and notices Gibbs] Boss. I'm not really their Boss. They just, uh, call me that because I'm a... field agent. I carry the hand gun. It's good to see you, Boss.

NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: We.l, it's not the same. We were a team. I would give this up in a heartbeat to be working with you and Ziva again!
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: And DiNozzo?
NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: ...Yeah, him too.

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Ah life on the ocean blue, me hearties. If the scurvy don't get you, then the pox will. And tell me this, me little McShipmate, how's that scurrilous black-hearted pirate king of ours Captain One-Shot Gibbs?
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs enters] Well I'm just fine, DiNozzo.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh... uh...
[DiNozzo slaps the back of his own head]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: There you go, Boss. Welcome aboard.

NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [after McGee tells them how to locate some files] That the fastest way?
NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: I was worried you might ask me that.
NCIS Director Leon Vance: We never had this conversation.

NCIS Director Leon Vance: The reason I broke up your team, Gibbs, was because whoever was blackmailing Vargo was an NCIS agent.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not one of mine.
NCIS Director Leon Vance: No. From what Vargo told me, I narrowed it down to three agents. Only reason I broke up your team was so I form a new one.
[turns on display with Gibbs's new team]
NCIS Director Leon Vance: So you can help me find out which one of these three is betraying their country.

NCIS Special Agent Brent Langer: Four months I've been sitting here fielding calls for DiNozzo. And I swear - they're all women.
NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee: [pops up from underneath Ziva's desk] And that surprises you? Have you seen my Oman Threat Assessment?
NCIS Special Agent Brent Langer: [holds up the file] Oh, is that what this is?
[chuckles]
NCIS Special Agent Brent Langer: And I thought it was a copy for a travel brochure. Come see sunny Oman.
NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee: Give me the file, Langer. Come on.
NCIS Special Agent Brent Langer: [holds it over her head] Ooh...
NCIS Special Agent Daniel T. Keating: Give her the file, Langer.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [appears behind Brent] Give her the file, Langer.
NCIS Special Agent Daniel T. Keating: [stands at attention] Good morning, sir.
NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee: Morning, sir.
NCIS Special Agent Brent Langer: [stands lazily and hands Lee the file] Morning, sir.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: So glad we all agree on something.

NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [after Abby hands him a post-it note] One... two... six.
Abby Sciuto: One hundred and twenty-six. That is the number of days that Tony, McGee and Ziva have been gone. I really didn't think you'd let it get into triple-digits, Gibbs. But now it's way more. It's like a third of a whole year. I miss them.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abby, you had lunch with McGee yesterday.
Abby Sciuto: It's not the same. I miss them collectively, as a group. My three musketeers. Tim is the only one I've seen. No Tony, no Ziva. I get postcards from Tony.
[hugs Gibbs]
Abby Sciuto: I want them back, Gibbs. Please get them back.
[Abby releases him and looks at him sternly]
Abby Sciuto: You have ten days. Okay, I don't want to pressure you. So twelve. But no more than two weeks.
[Gibbs smirks and walks off]
Abby Sciuto: And stop taking the stairs!
[the elevator dings and Abby smiles]

NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: [after ending video conversation with DiNozzo] He's insane!
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah.

NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee: Look, I know you never thought much of me as a field agent. You probably never thought much of me as a lawyer.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hmm, that's more of the profession than the person.

[Tony is contacting Washington, D.C. via video chat from the U.S.S. Seahawk]
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Got work to do.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I'm on it, Boss! What am I on, McGee?
NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Are you alone?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, yeah. Just me and five thousand of my closest friends. I am *never* alone!
[lowers voice]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I really need to come home, Boss.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'm working on it.
