Scenes with Leroy Jethro Gibbs 649

Gibbs

You still in touch with that old NASA boyfriend?

He wasn't a boyfriend, he was a boytoy, and yes, we IM almost every day.

Gibbs

You do?

Oh yeah.

Gibbs

That's good, right?

It's very good.

[Later, during a video-conference call]

AAshton (Boytoy)

Greetings from NASA, NCIS.

Whoa, Ashton, that was so Star Trek.

AAshton

Sorry, I'm late. I had a cluster of frozen reactor coolant heading for the flight path of an Atlas liftoff. I had to delay the launch. They were not happy about it. I am, however, very happy to see you, Abby, and to help your NCIS crime-fighting colleagues.

[In the background Kate and Tony exchange amazed looks at this entire exchange]

Gibbs

...and she plays golf left handed.

Whoa, wait, you could see that the clubs were left handed with just a passing glance?

Gibbs

My second wife played golf left handed.

So?

When someone tries to split your skull with a seven iron, it's not a club you soon forget.

[referring to Tony refusing to answer a woman's calls] Talk to her.

She'll get the message.

Gibbs

[small smile and nod]

You know I bet this is why number two came after you with a nine iron, isn't it? You just refused to sit down and talk things through.

Gibbs

Actually that wasn't it at all.

So what was it, then?

Gibbs

Seven iron.

We have a rising tide.

Gibbs

Okay. DiNozzo?

Yo!

Gibbs

You and me take measurements. We'll rebuild them later in the lab. Kate, more photos!

Gotcha.

Gibbs

Gerald, take notes.

I'm on it.

Gibbs

Come on, move it!

We've got to keep him dry.

Gibbs

I've got the sign.

I've got the farthest boulder.

Gibbs

Head and feet!

Fifteen point seven one.

Gibbs

Eleven point three six meters.

Fifteen point seven one. Eleven point three six. Got them.

His dive knife is missing.

Yeah, you didn't see this coming, did you, my friend?

(Waves heard in background)

Gibbs

Hey, watch out! Tide!

(Tony dives to stop the water)

(Chuckles) Well done, Tony.

Gibbs

Bag him.

I've got a spare suit in the van.

[To a soaking wet and obviously freezing cold DiNozzo] You OK? What is it?

Gibbs

(grinning) Shrinkage.

Gibbs

What do you have?

A six letter word for a reason to commit a crime...

Gibbs

DiNozzo...

That's seven letters.

Gibbs

Works for me. What do you got?

You weren't buying any of it were you?

Gibbs

Any of what?

You know....her charm.

Gibbs

Is it really that hard to believe, Kate, that I might be attractive to a woman?

MMelissa

No Mama. They can prove everything. About the Digitalis, about how you cut Tommy into little pieces! (screams as her mom slaps her around the face)

MMama

Poor girl’s out of her mind. You can’t use any of this in court.

Gibbs

She was read her Miranda Rights and she waived them. We can use it and we will.

MMama

You little fool. They couldn’t prove anything!

MMelissa

I don’t care anymore Mama! I love Tommy and you killed him!

Gibbs

Hey DiNozzo, kinda reminds me of your apartment, except for that minty fresh urine smell.

Hey for your information I have a maid now.

Gibbs

You can afford a maid?

It's amazing what you can do when you don't have to pay three alimonies.

This kid wanted to be a paramedic - Sgt. Alvarez told him the Marine Corps would "train him to save lives."

What's wrong with that?

Gibbs

The Marine Corps doesn't have medical personnel.

They're all Navy.

Gibbs

Technically it is true, Marines do save lives. Mostly through the use of superior firepower.

Gibbs

Can we hurry it up? I don't think Gunnery Sergeant Alvarez would appreciate being seen like this.

You knew the man?

Gibbs

[deadpan] No.

[to corpse] If it's any consolation, Gunny, Gibbs is the absolute best we've got.

Gibbs

Got something for ya! (dumps folders in front of Kate)

(sarcastically) Okay...what is it!

Gibbs

Eight years of Sgt. Alvarez's files. Sorted into category!

Which are?

Gibbs

Gonna leave that part up to you!

Oh, Come on Gibbs! At least tell me what i'm looking for!

Gibbs

The same thing we're all looking for Kate! (walks out) A murderer!

(dumps her pen on her desk) Why didn't I take the damn dolls!

(as she is watching Tony try and use chopsticks) Relax your hand or you're never gonna get it in your mouth!

(as another bundle of noodles slip out of the chopsticks) I'm trying but the thing's too damn slippery!

Never gonna impress a girl that way!

Oh Whatever! Just the next time we do this Kate make sure they (drops more noodles) don't forget the forks! (Kate smiles as she successfully puts noodles in her mouth) No-one like a show-off! (after he fails again at eating noodles) Okay. Screw this! You got any soup? (Kate passes it over carefully as it's hot) Ah...thanks!

Gibbs

(getting out the elevator) That had better not be mine, DiNozzo!

(freezes) Gibbs ordered soup? (glares silently at Kate who nods smugly) Great! (as Gibbs glares at him) If it's any consolation it's not very good!

Gibbs

(stares at the noodles) Whose chow mein?

(with noodles in her mouth) Tony's!

Gibbs

(takes the box) Good!

Next time drive a little faster, Tony. I think my glands still have an ounce of adrenaline left.

Response to a crime scene investigation demands a timely arrival, Kate.

It would help if the investigators didn't puke all over it.

Gibbs

Brings back memories.

Memories of what?

Gibbs

Marriage.

Gibbs

Anything Abby?

This is the left rear tire off Commander Julius's car. Notice anything unusual?

Gibbs

It's inflated.

Is that a guess, or do you actually know where I'm going with this?

Gibbs

What do you think?

Well, I don't know, that's why I asked you.

Gibbs

Why don't you just tell me?

So you don't know.

Gibbs

I want to make sure you know.

Hmmmm.

Gibbs

Hmmmm.

We should play poker sometime.

Gibbs

Yeah, we should.
