Scenes with Ziva David 510

Well no bag, maybe the killer took it.

Ziva

Maybe she just didn't have a bag.

Every woman has a bag.

Ziva

Do I have a bag, McGee?

No, but you're not a... Well, I mean you're a woman, it's just, you're not a... Not a normal... You're right, every woman does not have a bag.

[The team is preparing Special Agent Lee for an undercover assignment to infiltrate a sex trafficking ring]

She looks the part, just like a..

Ziva

Whore?

[glares at Ziva] A courtesan.

That was quick.

You solved this case? Already, DiNozzo?

No. It's my hundredth body. Hey, listen. [handing Gibbs the camera] You wouldn't mind taking a...? Sorry. It's a bad idea. It seemed less disgusting in my head.

Ziva

Compared to what else is in there, I'm sure it was.

Do you know what a "clog" is?

Ziva

A shoe or a blocked drain?

No, on the Internet.

Ziva

Oh, I thought it was called a "blog," but then again my English is often wrong.

[to Ziva] You know, McGee is really starting to nail your essence, here; '[in a low voice from McGee's book] Stakeouts. Long, endless hours fueled by cheap food and even cheaper coffee, but tonight Mossad Officer Lisa didn't seem to mind, because she was getting to spend it with Agent Tom... You're behind me again, aren't you?

Ziva

Lucky guess. [Tony grunts] You know, I think McGee is right.

He was, was he.

Ziva

It takes almost all of my willpower to resist the urges I have when I'm around you, Tony. Maybe, it's about time I just... give in, yes?

And by "give in", you mean...

Ziva

Letting loose! Doing what comes naturally to me.

Yeah, I thought I was picking up that vibe the first time we went undercover together.

Ziva

You were? In fact, I almost did it the first night in the hotel room.

Mhhm. Really?

Ziva

But my father would not approve.

Because I'm not Jewish?

Ziva

[laughing] Because gets very angry when I kill a co-worker.

Ha! Like I believed you for even a second.

Ziva

I'm sure you didn't.

You two done playing grab-ass?

Ziva

Oh, he started it!

I'm ending it.

[Tony and Ziva are at the front of the truck, Ziva is driving and McGee is the back seat]

Comfortable back there Gore Vidal?

For the last time, Deep Six is fiction.

Ziva

Fiction based on us, yes?

No! Look, if you don't believe me, read the disclaimer in the front of the book.

You buying that, Lisa? [Ziva does the "evil laugh"] Didn't think so. [straps on seat belt] Nice knowing you, Probie.

Ziva?

[Ziva starts the truck and hits full speed. McGee falls off his seat]

It's just a book!!

WWoman

From the video presentation it's clear that sexual harassment can take many forms in the workplace. A coworker with elevator eyes looking you up and down, a coworker shows you a cartoon or photo of a sexual nature.

If you're lucky.

WWoman

A coworker's hand accidentally brushes up against your body.

Ziva

If you're really lucky.

WWoman

Physical contact can be divided into three categories. Green light includes normal behavior. Yellow light includes borderline behavior such as hugging someone...

[Abby raises her hand.]

WWoman

Yes?

What's wrong with hugging people? I hug people all the time.

WWoman

You may see it as friendly, but your coworkers may find it offensive.

You guys get offended when I hug you?!

[everyone mutters no]

[happily] I am hugging you all in my mind right now.

WWoman

DOD policy is very clear about this point, miss. You must first ask permission before making physical contact with a coworker.

Like, every time?

WWoman

Yes. Finally there's red light behavior such as deliberate unwelcome touching.

Ziva leans forward and licks Tony's ear and neck, causing him to stand up in suprise.]

WWoman

Another question?

Uh, yeah. If you slap someone on the back of the head like this... [slaps McGee's head, McGee slaps back] would that be considered inappropriate behavior?

WWoman

Absolutely. Are you saying that this has actually happened?

[Jenny looks at Gibbs. Gibbs shares a look with Tony.]

...No. Just wondering, that's all.

[Palmer raises his hand.]

WWoman

Yes?

What if your job includes touching, ah, naked people...

WWoman

That is inappropriate at any time.

Even if they're dead?

WWoman

[sternly] Why are you touching dead naked people?!

Well, I work in autopsy...

Ziva

Did you hear that, Tony? McGee just said he's not secretive!

Hm, let's see. Wrote a novel.

Ziva

Didn't tell us.

Got it published.

Ziva

Didn't tell us.

Made substantial amounts of money from said novel.

Ziva

Didn't tell us.

Anything else?

Ziva

Bought a Porsche.

Didn't tell us. Can you see how people might begin to see a pattern of secretive behavior here, Probie?

Okay look, I might have been hiding stuff, but it wasn't sneaky, it was just...

Ziva

Deceptive.

Sneaky.

Self-preservation. If I told you guys I was writing a novel, you would have laughed at me.

True.

Ziva

True.

TTariq

You're a Jew.

Ziva

Yes.

TTariq

Israeli? Mossad, then.

Ziva

I'm working with NCIS.

TTariq

So, yes. So now I'm as suspicious of you as you are of me. Is it always going to be this way?

Ziva

At least in our lifetime.

[Deputy Tyler Barrett walks in.]

TTyler

Oh, cozy.

Ziva

Can I help you?

TTyler

[to Tariq] You know, couple of more inches to your right and our "martyr" here could've been living it up with all those vestal virgins. (chuckles) You know, it truly is a screwed-up religion where you got to blow yourself up just to get lucky.

[Ziva twists his arm behind his back, hard.]

TTyler

OW!

Ziva

When you insult his religion, you insult mine and your own. Tell him you're sorry.

TTyler

(quietly) Sorry. (she twists harder) AH!

Ziva

I don't think he heard you.

TTyler

I'm sorry!

TTariq

Apology accepted.

(walking in) There a problem?

Ziva

I was telling the deputy here where the bathroom was.

So this is the guy Ziva was drooling on.

Ziva

I wasn't drooling!

At least I saw you undressing him with your bedroom eyes.

Ziva

At least I'm not the one asking him if he waxed his eyebrows.

You were supposed to keep Mister Harrow under surveillance, not chase him into a coronary!

Director, once he made us, we had to take him into custody, didn't we?

Ziva

No, the Director's right. We could of let Haro escape. If he sold ARES, we could of caught "Black Rose" or "La Grenouille" selling it to Iran!

Don't be cute, Officer David! I'm saying there had to be a better way! Right Tony? [Jenny glares at Tony for some support]

Uh, that's right Director. They could've -

- Shot him.

That's right, they could have shot him.

Of course, in high octane situation, Ziva reverts to her Mossad training and probably would've put a round through his heart.

Ziva

Three rounds...

And McGee, not to be outdone, would've -

- Added three more rounds.

Gibbs...

See, there you go. Six rounds, same result. One dead Mister Harrow.

[Ducky walks over to the group]

Ziva

That's Ares?

According to McGeek. Ziva watch the road!

Ziva

I have great peripheral vision.

My sphincter doesn't.

Ziva

At least we won't have trouble finding it.

Really?

Ziva

Tony, it's the size of an ATM!
