Quotes 

• Nick Torres : Yo. How much did you tell Delilah?

  Timothy McGee : Delilah was so freaked out by the break-in itself, I had to leave out the part about killing a guy.

  Nick Torres : Another lie?

  Alex Quinn : It's not a lie, Nick. It's an omission.

  Nick Torres : Oh, right, right. It's, uh, "family".

  Timothy McGee : Yeah, and it's Delilah. I mean, she was gonna fly home as is. I had to, you know, cover, so I convinced her to stay longer. Hopefully long enough to where I can get the walls and the floor fixed.

  Ellie Bishop : You didn't tell her that, either?

  Timothy McGee : Again, why would I pile on the bad news?

• Ellie Bishop : Ducky and Jimmy are on their way.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : McGee. There were two of them?

  Timothy McGee : Yeah. One of them got away, but I grazed him.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Check local hospitals for recent gunshot wounds.

  Nick Torres : No wallet. But a print scanner IDs him as Louis Cole, a recent parolee.

  Alex Quinn : No stolen goods on him. I wonder what the other guy made out with.

  Timothy McGee : I don't even care. I'm just happy that Delilah was in Dubai on assignment. I mean, if she would've walked in on these guys, would've been a lot worse.

  Ellie Bishop : You haven't called her yet?

  Timothy McGee : No. It's too early there. Plus, uh, I'm not really looking forward to telling her anyway.

• Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Okay, what do we know? Update.

  Ellie Bishop : All right. Our dead burglar, Louis Cole, 37, was paroled two months ago from Haynesville Correctional Center after serving three years for transporting narcotics.

  Alex Quinn : Drug offenses, a few assaults, but no burglaries on his rap sheet.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : First time for everything.
