Quotes 

• Jimmy Palmer : [to the team]  You guys, he actually thinks I'm stuck in some government job which pays too little and requires too many hours.

  Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : [Gibbs enters]  You are. Get off my desk. Grab your gear.

  Jimmy Palmer : Ah yes. Duty call. I better call Ed and cancel.

  Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Hold on. You're not going anywhere. Family first.

• [as DiNozzo and McGee are leaving] 

  Jimmy Palmer : Good luck.

  Ed Slater : [sardonically]  Yeah, good luck.

  Jimmy Palmer : Why in the world would you say it like that?

  Ed Slater : Why? The weather. The road closures. Because they're not gonna make it.

  Jimmy Palmer : [angry]  How the hell would you know? They're trained agents!

  Ed Slater : Well...

  Jimmy Palmer : You may not respect me or what it is we do, but you have to respect the fact that these people, *my* people, are risking their lives.

  Ed Slater : [embarrassed]  Well, when you put it like that...

  Jimmy Palmer : There's no other way to put it. Until you learn that, we're not going anywhere! Sit down and shut up!

• Jimmy Palmer : The last time that Ed and I talked was when I asked for his permission to marry Breena. He laughed and then he cried... from laughing so hard. Then he got really quiet.

• Jimmy Palmer : Well, if you hadn't made that comment about her tattoos, we wouldn't be in time out. Six minutes left.

  Ed Slater : You do know that there are jobs in the private sector that pay twice as much money, and still be home by 6, right?

  Jimmy Palmer : Hadn't really thought about it.

  Ed Slater : Well, maybe you start... and all I said was that girls with tattoos are easy. Everyone knows that.

• Dr. Donald Mallard : Is that what you want?

  Jimmy Palmer : Me? No. No. I love NCIS. But I want to make Breena happy. Doctor... what if this is the only way?

  Dr. Donald Mallard : Breena would be happy if you are happy. Tell that to Mr. Ed.
