- Officer Ziva David: [Speaking of DiNozzo] He's been insufferable since you left.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [looking at DiNozzo] That true?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [to Ziva] When I have to be!
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Maybe I did leave the right person in charge.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: There is only one thing you need to know about Officer David.
- NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee: Don't make her angry.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: So technically really there's two things. The other is, she can take care of herself.
- [after Gibbs slaps Tony's head]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You know, I could arrest you for striking a federal officer.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I know that.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: All right. Just so you know.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Tony, isn't that the guy who tried to put you away for murder?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Yes it is. Thank you for bringing up a painful memory McGee.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [to Gibbs] Hey! My team now. My rules. DiNozzo's rule number one, I don't sit on the sidelines while one of my people are in trouble.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Do I still look like your boss?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Well, maybe if you shaved. Haircut wouldn't hurt either.
- [Gibbs laughs]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah, the smile thing's definitely throwing me off too!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [speaking on the phone with Ziva] We've been trying to contact Gibbs, but we haven't been able to reach him.
- Officer Ziva David: Ah! Why didn't you say so?
- [hands the phone to Gibbs]
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: DiNozzo! You have 10 seconds to explain why I'm not in Mexico building my teak watertub. 9... 8... 7...
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: McGee any hits on the BOLO?... You completely forgot about.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: This one's on me, Boss.
- [Slaps the back of his own head]
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ziva, look I'm retired. I'm 3,000 miles away. What do you think can I do that they can't do?
- Officer Ziva David: Honestly, I don't know. I was, uh, hoping maybe... save me.
- [starts crying]
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [to Tony] It's good to see you again, McGee.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: DiNozzo.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What did I say?
- Officer Ziva David: [to Gibbs] You called him "McGee."
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [to Ziva] Hmmmm... That's probably because if I had left him in charge you wouldn't be on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list right now.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Federal authorities! They mean us. Four stinkin' letters - NCIS!
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: It's either that story, Tony, or the FBI charges you with interfering in their investigation.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I can live with "Federal Authorities."
- NIS Agent Mike Franks: [to Gibbs] Four months and you still don't know the meaning of siesta, Probie?
- Abby Sciuto: I talked to Ziva yesterday.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You don't bowl with nuns. I should have seen that one coming.
- Abby Sciuto: I do! Ziva made me promise not to tell.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Why would Ziva care we knew that you bowl with nuns?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: That's not my point! Six months ago you were convinced that I killed a woman and chopped off her legs!
- FBI Agent Ron Sacks: Well, I'm still not convinced that you didn't.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Exactly.
- FBI Agent Ron Sacks: So, Ziva David is being framed... by who?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Well, that's what I intend to find out.
- FBI Agent Ron Sacks: Hah! Good luck with that.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: [to Tony and Sacks] You two up here, now!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Director, would you please tell Agent Slacks...
- FBI Agent Ron Sacks: Sacks, it's Sacks!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Would you please tell Agent Slacks that we're gonna be handling this one in house?
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: I just assured your director that the FBI will be getting NCIS's complete cooperation in this matter.
- FBI Agent Ron Sacks: Thank you, ma'am.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: If Ziva attempts to contact you or anyone on your team, I want you to notify both myself and Agent Sacks, immediately!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: This is a complete...
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: This is an order from your Director, Agent DiNozzo. Is that clear enough for you?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Almost crystal, ma'am.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: But you do remember...
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: That I left you in charge? Yeah, I remember that I left you in charge DiNozzo. What I forgot, is your taste in coffee. It stinks.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Listen, um, about what happened between us before...
- FBI Agent Ron Sacks: No hard feelings. I get it.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: No I was going to say I still pretty much hate your guts, Sacks!
- FBI Agent Ron Sacks: Me too, DiNozzo! Me too.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Palmer, how does "Black Lung" sound?
- Jimmy Palmer: Like a horrible and painful way to die.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I mean as your code name.
- Jimmy Palmer: Oh, I like it, yeah.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: No one's gonna think less of you if you want out Palmer.
- Jimmy Palmer: Really?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Well no. They probably would... at least I know I would.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: What did I tell you about worrying Probie?
- NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee: That it's your job.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: See... you're learning.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: Tony, that question you asked me earlier, "What would Gibbs do?" Gibbs isn't here, *you* are!
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: [during a secret planning session to help Ziva] Danger, intrigue, a damsel in distress. I'm actually looking forward to it.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: Metro police just found her car on a sidewalk in Georgetown.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Actually, that's not that unusual when Ziva's driving.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [about Namir Eschel] He's supposed to be dead.
- Officer Ziva David: Apparently, he's gotten better.
- Abby Sciuto: I was referring to health food freak over there. Every time I pass her desk, I have this irresistible urge to shove a cheeseburger down her throat.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I think she's kind of hot.
- Abby Sciuto: Oh, you think she's hot?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Yeah, you know, for a probie.
- NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee: You two do realize I can hear you, right?
- Abby Sciuto: We do now, very special agent Lee.
- Camila Charo: Hola, gentlemen.
- NIS Agent Mike Franks: Gentlemen? She can't be talking to you and me, Gunny.
- Camila Charo: You, no. Señor Gibbs, sí.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Whose supposed to be dead.
- Officer Ziva David: Apparently he's gotten better.
