Sam Hanna quotes from NCIS: Los Angeles

Sam

This isn't the way home.

Callen

Nope. Promised Hetty I'd get her a futah. Bright colors.

Sam

Better get her two.

Sam

Nice gangster walk.

Callen

Feels like I was thrown out of a moving car.

Sam

You were thrown out of a moving car... several times.

Callen

Well not recently... was I?

Callen

If I ever go off the reservation, you have my permission to take me out.

Sam

Well, how far off? I mean, you've pushed it pretty far, and I haven't killed you yet.

Callen

All the way. You know, go rogue.

Sam

You? Never gonna happen. I've never seen anybody see more sides of the coin than you. If anybody's gonna snap, it's me.

Callen

You? Textbook SEAL. And blood pressure's undetectable. Do you even have a blood pressure? Something gets to you, you take it out on the heavy bag. You're lucky like that. If anybody's gonna snap...

Kensi.

Callen

Good luck, Deeks.

Kensi

Just once, I would love to get dressed up to go out and not have to chase a suspect or get shot at.

Sam

Where's the fun in that?

Hetty

Another wardrobe malfunction, Miss Blye?

Kensi

I'm sorry, Hetty.

Hetty

A small price to pay for a successful assignment. (hands Kensi a towel)

Kensi

Thank you.

Sam

No offense, but survival kits are for urban sissies who don't know how to make a floatation device out of a pair of pants.

Callen

Or how to extract the venom out of a horned viper using only a twig and a shoelace.

Deeks

Or how to make a latte without soy milk.

Kensi

[about an earthquake] Crack of dawn. Shook me right out of bed. You guys didn't feel it?

Callen

I was on a run.

Sam

Deep sleeper.

Deeks

You forget I'm from Californ-I-A. We don't get out of bed for anything less than a 6.

Deeks

Why do bad guys always have such awesome houses?

Sam

What's the matter, Deeks? Not feeling your loft?

Deeks

This guy's got his own Hobbit Shire.

Callen

You're always trying to milk it.

Sam

Is it truffle season yet?

Callen

Okay, a couple ground rules though: No weird expensive fungi. No eggs that don't come from a chicken. No scotch that's older than you or me.

Sam

I can still order a Seafood Tower.

Callen

Great.

Deeks

Poop scooping aside, though, going undercover is the best part of our job. I mean, you get to be somebody you're not.

Sam

For you that's an improvement.

Kensi

And also, you like to lie.

Deeks

What? No. I thought we were picking on Sam. And secondly, it's not lying. It's uh, truth - reimagined for the higher good.

Sam

Mr. Holt?

Yes?

Sam

Agents Hanna... Callen. NCIS.

I'm sorry. Did we - um - did we have an appointment?

Sam

No, but here we are.

Well, can this wait? These gentlemen have come a long way, and we're on a strict schedule.

Callen

Pretty business as usual considering your partner was just killed.

Nell

Ray couldn't testify against the Southland Kings even if he wanted to. He doesn't have the intel - unless...

Callen

Nelson Sanders told them that Ray did.

Nell

Uh huh.

Callen

That's not bad.

Sam

Maybe we need to get her away from her desk more often.

Eric

I heard that Rock Star.

Hetty

You know, it's been a *very* long time since I have heard you laugh, Sam. Hell, life itself can be absurd. But you have to embrace that. If you can't smile now, how can you possibly laugh in the face of death?

Sam

Hetty, why are you telling me this?

Hetty

As a sailor, Sam, you know the importance of a solid anchor. You have your faith, your family, your sense of humor. Mr. Callen doesn't think he needs anyone. He does. He need* you. You're his anchor. And I sense there's a storm coming.

Sam

Hetty, you're a lot of things, but psychic isn't one of them. You want to level with me?

Hetty

I just did.

Callen

[about Hetty] Why would she be worried about me?

Sam

You can be a worrisome guy. [chuckles] She pulled me aside - wanted to talk about it today.

Kensi

Me too. But not about you. It - we had a real heart-to-heart today - about the future.

Deeks

Me three. She's talking about things changing.

Callen

Guys. She's putting her affairs in order.

Callen

[as they're driving to Hetty's House] I followed her home a couple times?

Sam

"Couple of times?"

Callen

Closer to a dozen. She keeps moving. She sleeps in a different house every night.

Sam

Oh, that's great. And I get to be there when you tell her you followed her home. She's gonna be so pissed when we knock on her door.

Callen

Not as pissed as I am.

Kensi

You took cover behind Hetty's jag?

Deeks

What - are you insane?

Callen

Well, they were shooting. It was close.

Deeks

And you think Hetty's going to be fine with that?

Sam

What'd you want us to do? Get shot?

Kensi

Well, personally, I would've risked it.
