Ned Quinn : Where are we?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Melissa's house.
Ned Quinn : No, Gibbs! You don't know me. I ruin lives. I am poison.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Give yourself some credit. You're not the same person that dropped out of her life when she was three years old. You've changed.
Ned Quinn : I don't need this, I don't.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : She does.
Ned Quinn : There's too much time that's passed.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : If I had one wish for Christmas, it would be to hug my daughter... that can never be. You have that chance.
[after a moment, Quinn gets out of the car, then knocks on Gibbs's window. Gibbs rolls it down, and Quinn gives him a piece of paper]
Ned Quinn : Thank you.
[as Quinn goes to the front door, Gibbs unrolls the paper and sees Quinn's sketches of himself and the rest of the team]

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : [Standing at the Vietnam Memorial] No matter how many times I come here, it still gets to me. You look at a name, you have to look at a reflection of yourself. You are among the fallen.
Ned Quinn : Yeah. Difference is, you can leave. The names don't.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : No. Death is permanent. Except in your case, Ned Quinn.
Ned Quinn : It's been a long time since someone's called me that.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : So you disappeared. You hid.
Ned Quinn : It's not hard if no one's looking for you.
