Dom and Kensi in “Unfinished Business”

It's just... it's hard being the new guy.

Kensi

Try being the new girl! They used to make me crawl into air vents, under houses, just because I was the smallest one. Yeah, when was the last time any of you had to put on a bikini for an assignment? Yeah, that's right, try hiding a gun in your thong.

Alright, I just never thought of it that way.

Kensi

Yeah, well, it's obviously not like that anymore. I mean, if you can prove that you can protect yourself, and protect your team, they'll let up. If Sam is hard on you in the office, it's really just because he wants to protect you in the field. Well, of course, either that, or he genuinely doesn't like you.
