Quotes
-
Nick Torres : Yo, my man. What about "stay put" don't you get?
Max Girard : I'm not a dog.
Nick Torres : I know, 'cause dogs listen, and if you don't, I'll try a different method.
Jack Sloane : [Nick holds up his handcuffs] Nick, is that really necessary?
Nick Torres : Jack, teenagers are like raptors, okay? They smell fear. You have to stay strong.
[ushering Max out of the room]
Nick Torres : Come on, move it. Come on.

Jack Sloane : Hey, there. Can I help you?
Max Girard : No.
Jack Sloane : Uh, okay. Uh, let's try this one: who are you?
Max Girard : Max.
Jack Sloane : Oh, sorry, you must be one of the essay winners. I'm Agent Jack Sloane.
Max Girard : You're new here, am I right?
Jack Sloane : Not exactly.

Jack Sloane : [Max notices her ink blot painting] You like that? I, uh, got that in Austria. What do you think?
Max Girard : You want an honest answer?
Jack Sloane : Always.
Max Girard : It doesn't fit.
Jack Sloane : Hmm.
[offering her jar of suckers]
Jack Sloane : Hey, take one.
Max Girard : Why?
Jack Sloane : Come on, dude, just humor me.
[he takes one]
Jack Sloane : Ah. Black licorice. Interesting.
Max Girard : You gonna analyze me now?
Jack Sloane : I could, or you could just tell me why you're here.
Max Girard : Essay winners get to shadow an NCIS agent.
Jack Sloane : I mean the real reason. Why are you here, Max?

Leon Vance : I know that look. What's on your mind, Jack?
Jack Sloane : Something I'm curious about. Before I transferred to HQ, who worked in my office?
Leon Vance : It had been vacant for a few years.
Jack Sloane : Uh-huh. And before that?
Leon Vance : Why do you want to know?
Jack Sloane : Just a hunch, that that look in your eye is confirming. It was Agent Girard, wasn't it?
Leon Vance : Let it go, Jack.
Jack Sloane : That's not really my specialty, as you know, Leon.
Leon Vance : Then I would suggest that you tread lightly.

Nick Torres : You believe that kid?
Jack Sloane : Uh, actually, Nick, I'd say you're the one acting like a child here.
Nick Torres : Me? What did I do?
Jack Sloane : How about what you didn't do? Like read your mentees' essays.
Nick Torres : Jack, I was busy working on the case.
Jack Sloane : Had you tried to get to know them, you would know that Max is the son of Ed Girard, one of the NCIS agents that was killed in the Navy Yard bombing six years ago. Max was here visiting his father that day. Only one of them made it out alive. He came here searching for closure, and he was treated like an inconvenience. You want me to choose sides, Nick? I'm on Max's.
