Scenes with Ziva David 510

Ziva

[walks in, smiling and carries a coffee to McGee's desk] For the one you got me last week.

Aw, thank you.

Ziva

[leans in to see what he's looking at on screen and gasps] That is quite a kiss, McGee!

[grins] Not bad for a wallpaper, huh?

Ziva

[chuckles] Well, you seem to be enjoying yourself. [muses] I have never seen a tongue quite so... long.

[walks in, looking at them curiously] McGee has a long tongue?

Ziva

No, but the cutie-pie he's kissing does.

McGee's kissing a girl?

You can't see it, Tony.

Why not?

Ziva

This is McGee's private photograph. And if he does not want you to see it here, then you have to respect his wishes. Or... [hits a key to bring it up on the squadroom plasma screen] ...see it elsewhere.

Hey!

[The picture turns out to be a very sweet one of McGee kneeling next to the dog Jethro, who is licking his face.]

[laughs] Oh, McRomeo... you should save that stuff for the bedroom.

You're just jealous.

Jealous? I don't think so. What you're doing there could be illegal in some states.

[Tony and Nikki make video contact with Abby's lab from Baghdad.]

I didn't know you two were sharing a room.

Ziva

They're sharing a room?

We're not exactly sharing a room.

Ziva

(whispering furiously) Either they are sharing a room, or not sharing a room, I do not see what is so exact or not exact about it!

[She pastes a fake smile on her face and turns back to the screen.]

Ziva

[at the copy machine] Die, you stupid machine!

She seems unfazed.

Those are standard Mossad-style copy machine assault tactics, McGee. She's fine.

Ziva

I'm not working. Just... drinking. Heidi! Uno mas, s'il vous plait.

MLMichael Locke

You're mixing your languages.

Ziva

And my liquors.

LLocke

What's it like to shoot someone?

Ziva

It is what it is. It is what you have to do.

What are you doing?

Ziva

I'm checking into Locke's missing girlfriend. You?

Same.

Ziva

What? Why?

[...]

Checking her medical records.

Ziva

Why? Do you think she's been lying in some hospital unable to communicate?

No, I think she's been lying in a shallow grave unable to communicate.

Ziva

Medical records are privileged information. You need a subpoena.

Not if you have an IOU from a county clerk with a very expressive poker face.

Ziva

Look. If you're going to give me a lecture on my bad judgment, I don't need to hear it.

Is that what this is about? You doubting your judgment?

Ziva

I should've moved earlier.

You would've if you could've.

Ziva

I left it too late.

You still took him out.

Ziva

I almost died.

But you didn't. You've got to trust your judgment, Ziva. Moment you don't, it won't be "almost."

[McGee and Ziva are playing Scrabble]

Hey, what's going on here? Did I get off on the wrong floor, I thought this was an office.

Officer David and I are engaged in a linguistic developmental exercise intended to bolster her English vocabulary.

[chuckles] That's good. Do you think Gibbs will buy it?

Ziva

It is not my vocabulary that needs bolsterment, McGee.

Not a word. Hence the scoreboard.

[chuckles] Yeah, 50-point cushion for the professor. And there's only one tile left to play.

[smiles] Gonna be kind of tough to play that 'q' without a 'u'.

Ziva

You peeked!

Did not. Process of elimination, I counted the tiles on the board.

You suck the fun out of everything, McCheat. [Ziva suddenly looks in thought] Give it up, Ziva.

[Ziva takes her Q tile and plays it in front of an I.]

[frowns and stares at the board] "Kwee"? I don't think so.

Ziva

[smiles] Chi. As in life energy that flows through all things.

You should have seen that one coming, Probie Wan Kenobi.

No....

Ziva

[laughs] Sixty-two points!!!

Jedi wins.

I'm challenging!

[walking in] You all are! Grab your gear. Playtime's over.

[McGee panics, opening Ziva's drawer and dumping the tiles and board in, haphazardly sweeping the ones on desk to the floor as she gives him an odd look and the team gets ready to go.]

Uhh... that was a, uh, language exercise we weren't actually playing.

So he didn't actually lose.

Correct!

So he wasn't actually humiliated.

[Ziva and Tony look at each other and chuckle on their way out.]

[hurries after them, muttering] "Kwee"....

[Ziva is confusing Tony as they talk at the crime scene.]

We've gotta figure out what he was doing here.

Ziva

And with whom he was doing it.

Doing what with?

Ziva

Whatever it was he was doing when he was undone.

[confused look] Done... what?

Ziva

Done!

In, my dear fellow. Done in. Don't you understand the Queen's English?

Not this queen.

Ziva

We could have made it.

The needle is below E, E stands for empty, we have less than empty, and we don't even know where it is!

Ziva

We could have made it.

ZTZiva and Tony

[at same time] What!

slightly annoyed, gets out of the car and starts pumping gas Why don't you make yourself useful?

Ziva

What?

I said, why don't you make yourself useful?

Ziva

What do you want me to do? Hold your nozzle?

Get us a map [Ziva makes a face, gets out of the car and starts walking to the store] ...And some white powder doughnuts and the blue ice gatorade. [she pauses, smacks her ass and keeps walking without turning around.]

Paris. That's when it must have happened.

Ziva

The two of them alone in another world.

Putting their lives in each other's hands every day.

Ziva

Not to mention the long nights.

It was inevitable.

Ziva

Nothing is inevitable.

Did you know Mike Franks was involved in this?

TZTony/Ziva

No./Yes.

Want to take a moment to get your stories straight?

TZTony/Ziva

Yes./No.

Whose side are you on?

TZTony/Ziva

[together] Gibbs.

Well, you finally got your story straight.

Do you know Mike Franks was involved in this?

TZTony/Ziva

No./Yes.

You want to take a moment and get your stories straight?

TZTony/Ziva

Yes./No.

That explains how Director Shepard got out to the diner. Franks was the fifth shooter.

On Jenny's side.

Whose side are you on?

TZTony/Ziva

[together] Gibbs.

Well, you finally got your story straight.

Ziva

Looks like we found the murder weapon. Toy guitar?

That is not a toy guitar. That is a guitar controller. Used to play Lords of Rock, video game. That particular model is called an axe.

Ziva

So our killer is an axe murderer.
