- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: The last thing I remember before the lights going out was you kimbo slicing through a room full of guards. Was that a reflex?
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: Yes! It was. Gunshot went off. I saw YOU...
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [long pause] I'm tired of pretending.
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: So am I.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: It's dinner theatre for an audience of one. When's the curtain going down?
- Navy Lieutenant Robert Deckard: Dead sailor in a box. Delivery manifest had no origin.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: I gotta ask you this: Did you order a dead body?
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: Who was that guy?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [takes a seat] Well, there's this little drinking game sailors taught me during my time as an agent afloat. Someone calls for a coin, you pull out one of these.
- [Pulls out a coin]
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Whoever has the highest officer's coin, whoever's rubbed elbows with the biggest brass, everyone else has to buy him drinks. That's who that guy was. The downside here is, someone is lying to us. The upside is...
- [flips the coin to Ziva]
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: we never have to pay for a drink again.
- [Ziva looks at the seal on the coin: United States Secretary of the Navy]
- Abby Sciuto: Stop interogatting me, McGee!
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Stop acting weird!
- Abby Sciuto: I *am* weird!
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: What is this place?
- Navy Lieutenant Robert Deckard: That's classified.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Classified? What do you got in there? Aliens? Big Foot? Ark of the Covenant? That only leaves one thing.
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David, NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Unicorn.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: [to Palmer] Jimmy, I'm sorry your girlfriend turned out to be a Cylon.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I didn't come down here to get my head shrunk.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Why did you come down here?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Just killing time.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Would you like me to perform an autopsy on your watch?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [regard Domino] Leave it.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: But...
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's bogus, DiNozzo... The whole installation is bogus.
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: Nothing is real?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Just the threat.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Do you know who it is?... Do *we* know who it is?
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: Someone close to us.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You let the toothpick use us as puppets.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No, I didn't.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You didn't?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No. It was my plan.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: ...*Your* plan?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Every bit of it.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh... That's *much* worse!
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Wonder what they're doing up there?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Does the Navy still hang people?
- Abby Sciuto: [Abby stiffens up] Tony!
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Well it is treason, Abby.
- Abby Sciuto: McGee.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: What else can they do? There's no way she walks out of here.
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: No way.
- [Abby clears her throat. Everyone watches Agent Lee walk past them]
- NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee: Good night everyone.
- Navy Lieutenant Robert Deckard: What is your clearance?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: About 6 feet 1 and a half. Why, you got low ceilings?
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: [when Tony's waiting for a phone call and staring intently at the phone] You know what they say about a watched pot, Tony.
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: It calls the kettle black.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: It never boils.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [to DiNozzo and Ducky] I used both of you because I knew you could handle it.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: What do you need from us now?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Patience.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [Ducky takes one look at a body] Something familiar, Doctor? Reminds me of... Gibraltar.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: [exhales] Yeah. That... was the case.
- Jimmy Palmer: What happened in Gibraltar?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: That's a story for another time, Mr. Palmer.
- [closes the lid on the crate]
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Let's get back to the van, there's nothing more for us to do here.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: I hit my face on your door.
- Abby Sciuto: Why'd you do that?
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: I don't know, because the door's locked? That door's *never* locked. It's rarely been closed.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Oh last thing, the other side's using live fire. Do not engage. Do not resist if caught. Get in, get the intel, get out. Nobody gets hurt.
- Abby Sciuto: You *lost* a body?
- Jimmy Palmer: I didn't lose him. No! He was - stolen, and that's not even the weirdest part. We showed up at the crime scene and there he was. I think Gibbs had something to do with it. And - and Dr. Mallard looks like he wants to kill someone. I don't want it to be me. So
- [tries to move past Abby]
- Jimmy Palmer: I'm going...
- Abby Sciuto: You *cannot* hide here!
- [shoves him out of her lab]
- Jimmy Palmer: Please!
- Abby Sciuto: No!
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: How would he arrange for Lee to shoot Langer?
- Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David: Easiest way.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: The mole is...
- [Lee exits the elevator and walks to them]
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: ... Benign! Which is fantastic because I was a little worried. And so the dermatologist said "That's not a carcenoma. It's a beauty mark." Hey, how are you, Michelle?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You looking to sit in this chair, Gibbs?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It would be a little awkward, chair's occupied.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Means unfortunately I don't take my orders from you. Might be easier, then I wouldn't have all this.
- [indicating his desk]
- [last lines]
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [hidden in the back seat of Lee's car] Looks like we're working together.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: I'm sorry to pull you out of it sir. It was unavoidable.
- Secretary of the Navy Phillip Davenport: Oh, I love the Russians. Their cold, calculating approach to this business makes me feel positively sentimental in comparison. Do you have a light?
- [Gibbs holds up his lighter]
- Secretary of the Navy Phillip Davenport: Gibbs, isn't it?
- Secretary of the Navy Phillip Davenport: When the vacancy was created at the top of your agency, you induced me to give you this post. The deal was simple: Get-your-house-in-order!
