Leroy Jethro Gibbs quotes from NCIS

Gibbs

What are you doing, Tobias? I hid this file.

Not very well. I'm bored.

Gibbs

It's a classified government file.

I'm a classified government guy. Come on! Throw me a bone. Anything, will you? Let me help you. Can't watch another cooking show.

Gibbs

You get more than fashion tips?

Yeah. Claustrophobia.

Gibbs

Hey, Marine. Semper Fi.

Victor Medina

Semper Fi.

Gibbs

Any problems?

Well, apart from Bishop almost blowing up our cover, no, we're pretty good.

Bishop

Excuse me?

You shouldn't have slapped his hand away.

Bishop

I don't give out free samples! I got three kids to feed and a sick Nana in Boca. [off Torres's look] What? You told me to have a back story, that's my back story.

No, that's actually... that's actually pretty good.

Bishop

Thank you.

Gibbs

If you go outside the law, you will lose who you are.

Ziva

You don't know who I am.

Gibbs

(exasperated) You think I don't know?! What you asked me on the bus, the answer is yes, Ziva. Yes I would do anything to have one more minute with my daughter. But it doesn't matter, Ziva. She's gone!

Ziva

I was not talking about Kelly. I was talking about me! They reported my death and you did not question it. You did not come looking for me. You abandoned me!

Ducky

Agent Blackadder reminds me of a young woman I autopsied once.

Gibbs

[looking at the body] When'd she die?

Ducky

Oh, gosh, in Hollywood. Let's see, it's got to be at least 20 years ago. She was an assistant film editor and the film editor's wife caught them in flagrante delicto--

Gibbs

[interrupting] This one, Ducky. When did this one die?

Gibbs

Cause of death?

Ducky

Well, it wasn't the arrow.

I know my Article 31 rights, and I waive them.

I said I waive them.

Gibbs

She used to be FBI.

Gibbs

You're more comfortable asking questions than you're answering them.

Guess I'm not used to being a suspect.

Gibbs

Suspect? You said you were a suspect. Have I read you your Article 31 rights?

No you haven't. Which means you're playing a very risky game, Gunny.

Gibbs

I'm not smart enough to play risky games with a lawyer of your caliber, Rabb.

That's Commander Rabb. Or Commander. Or Sir, Gunny. I believe as a reservist, you're still technically in the Marine Corps.

Gibbs

[calmly] I'm an NCIS special agent. I don't have to salute you or "sir" you or give you any military courtesy. But you know that. So who's playing the games here?

I'm sorry, I almost blew it.

Gibbs

[disapprovingly] Almost?

Tony

I still like you.
