Scenes with Leroy Jethro Gibbs 649

[Gibbs is at Fornell's doorstep early in the morning. Fornell, who has grown a beard, answers the door and is still in his bathrobe.]

Gibbs

What happened to your face?

What happened to your arm?

Gibbs

The job.

Same.

[Gibbs smiles hands him a cup of coffee]

[Gibbs and Fornell are in autopsy with Ducky]

A mutual saving of a life is a powerful bond. [chuckles and points to Gibbs and Fornell] As evidenced by the two of you.

[to Gibbs] Oh, is that why we're friends?

Gibbs

It's more like shared misery.

God knows you've got enough to go around.

Gibbs

Hey! I'm a happy guy.

Since when?

Gibbs

You don't know what I've been doing. I haven't seen you in months.

Whose fault is that? You only call when you need something.

Gibbs

Well, apparently when I need grief.

Gibbs

Ooh. It smells like a French whorehouse in here.

[referring to his new cologne] That's me.

Gibbs

What are you trying to do, Palmer? Raise the dead?

Gibbs

I wanted to see how Jensen lived.

It says a lot about a man. Take your house for instance: clean, no nonsense, stoic.

Gibbs

Stoic? My house is stoic?

Understated, then?

Gibbs

I planted some roses last weekend. Red ones. Are red roses stoic?

Well, they're prickly and thorny.

[searching their victim's house, after finding the front door open] Clear, boss!

[Abigail Borin approaches Tony and puts her gun to his back.]

Maybe not totally clear.

Toss the gun. Do it now.

[laughing] Take it easy, sweetheart. Who are you?

I'm not the one breaking and entering.

Gibbs

[approaching Abigail from behind] No, the door was open. Ladies first.

OOmagi

[entering from behind Gibbs] It's turning into a party around here.

Wow. looks a little like Reservoir Dogs, except you're cuter than Harvey Keitel.

Gibbs

[holding up his badge] We're federal agents.

Get his I.D.

[Omagi reaches for Gibbs' badge and Gibbs shakes him off]

Gibbs

Look, don't touch.

OOmagi

NCIS.

[lowering her weapon] Come on, really?

Gibbs

Who are you guys? DEA? FBI?

CGIS.

[chuckling] Coast Guard, boss.

You got a problem with that?

[stops laughing, seriously] No.

Yeah. [head-slaps Omagi] Put the weapon away, Kyle.

OOmagi

Oh yes, ma'am.

That's a nice head slap.

[to Tony and McGee] You know what, you two? I have actually heard of this. You two are having a seven year bitch.

Itch, and yes we are.

You two are like a married couple.

Gibbs

Oh, no they're not. They're still speaking.

Gibbs

Abby --

No time for smalltalk, Gibbs, there's way too much to tell.

Gibbs

I only said 'Abby', Abby.

Well, now you've said it thrice.

Wait. Could you give McGee my hug today, because he really needs one.

Gibbs

[looks oddly at McGee]

[shakes his head] I'm good boss, thanks. [Gibbs turns around and leaves] [McGee gives Abby a look as she laughs]

W1Witness 1

It's gnarly, dude.

W2Witness 2

Yeah, for real.

Gibbs

Words, use 'em. Helpful words.

W2Witness 2

We were sleeping in our van, yo, right. We heard bam, bam, boom, boom, crack, crack.

W1Witness 1

Gunshots, dude. That's what I said. I was like, dude, gunshots. [turns to look at friend] Right?

So you're saying there were six gunshots?

W1Witness 1

No, two gunshots. But there was like an echo and he was like, dude don't look and I was like dude were looking.

W2Witness 2

Yeah, and then, then we like peeked through the windows and we saw two dudes drive off in a black Lincoln.

Gibbs

Two? You sure there's two, it wasn't an echo?

W1Witness 1

Yep, two dudes.

W2Witness 2

Two dudes.

[he and Gibbs walk into Director Vance's office without knocking and turn on the tv] You have a surveillance camera in the conference room now. Hope you don't have on in the elevator.

[is crouching behind desk going through files] We don't, not yet at least, Agent Fornell. [sits up] How can I help you?

Gibbs

To borrow your tv.

And my copy of Emily Post. Door was closed.

Gibbs

I thought you were in MTAC.

Well, we all make mistakes. That's why God invented knocking. McGee's int he conference room interviewing Susan Grady.

You sure you don't have a camera in the elevator?

When I do, you'll be the first to know, Agent Fornell.

DVDirector Vance

State Department has appointed Ms.Hart to be Alejandro's legal counsel for the task force.

Gibbs

Of course they did.

ARAlejandro Rivera

I met Allison in Mexico City. We work well together.

AHAllison Hart

Alejandro was very helpful in my securing Colonel Bell's release from prison.

Gibbs

Maybe we shouldn't be cooperating, Leon.

Gibbs

You okay?

Not really. I broke rule number ten. Again. Never get personally involved in a case.

Gibbs

Yeah. That's the rule I've always had the most trouble with.

AAlison

I thought you were going to start locking your front door.

Gibbs

Well, if I did that I'd have no social life. What are you doing here, Alison Hart?

AAlison

You didn't seem happy with my new status at NCIS.

Gibbs

Oh, and I thought I covered that so well.
