Scenes with Ziva David 510

How can you work with someone for three years and not know they have a kid?

Ziva

Just because you work with somebody everyday does not mean that you know *everything* about them.

Really? So I shouldn't know about that tattoo on the inside of your...

Ziva

I MEANT, I understand someone wanting to keep their personal and professional lives seperate, as should you. It did not end very well, when you fell in love when you were undercover, did it?

...Thanks for the memory.

Ziva

[putting an ear wig on Lee] You've pled your case with everyone else, why not me?

I'm done trying to explain. No one understands.

Ziva

I do.

...You would do what I did?

Ziva

[Reffering to her ear piece] That too tight?

It's fine. Thank you... I'm never going to see my daughter again, am I?

Ziva

Probabaly not.

Ziva

Red apples. That's good Amanda.

Breakfast is served, my lady a chocolate chip cookie [Amanda saying Thank you] and some hot cocoa.

Ziva

Your aunt will be here soon to pick you up.

AAmanda

Thank you for helping me with my drawing, Ziva.

You are one brave little girl Amanda.

AAmanda

Where's Mi - Shi? [walking over to window] What happened to your hand?

[Gibbs hands Agent Lee's badge to Amanda] Mi-Shi would want you to have that.

[Tony has taken his picture on his computer]

I'm not even going to ask.

Ziva

Allow me. [To Tony] What are you doing, Tony?

Best deep in thought face.

Ziva

I guess there's a first time for everything.

[As the computer displays his picture] Nailed it. All right, Strawdog24. Beat this one. [Puts it on the webpage] Yeah, baby.

[Reading the website name] Ibeatyou.com. The place to compete online with anyone at anything.

Yeah. It's very fun. Very addictive. Look at this guy. Best air guitar. Look at that guy. Best "do the Hustle." [McGee walks back to his desk] I mean, you name it, they got it.

Ziva

The Hustle?

The Hustle. Saturday Night Fever? Travolta. [Mimics dancing in his chair]

Ziva

[Laughs sarcastically] What is the point?

What is the point of any dance? It's about letting loose. It's, you know, having a good time.

Ziva

I meant the web site, Tony.

It's... fun. It is... amusement. Light-hearted pleasure.

Ziva

I know what you're doing. I know how to have fun, Tony.

Really? Do tell.

Ziva

The Hustling and the deep thinking photos. Those are all just, you know. Child's play. Tell him, McGee. [Tony looks over in McGee's direction, as does Ziva. Both look at him oddly] McGee?

[Cut to McGee making a contorted face]

[on the same web site] Uh, I'm just working on my best psycho face here.

It's not bad, Probie. Just need to work a little bit more with the eyebrow. See what I'm saying? [Holds his hand in front of McGee as he continues making the contorted look] See how that reads? See that?

[With contorted face] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's what you want.

Would you two like some time alone together?

Ziva

I remember my first fight. I was eight. Shemer Rubenstein.

Sounds like a real stud.

Ziva

One punch and it was over.

What did Shemer Rubenstein do to deserve the wrath of Ziva?

Ziva

He said he liked me.

Look, everybody enjoys a good book, but don't you ever have the urge to just act a little...

Ziva

Childish?

Silly. Stupid. Brainless.

Ziva

Like you?

Exactly.

Ziva

Tony, you and I come from two totally different places. In my world, you grow up. Fast. You have no choice.

Now you do.

Ziva

Her name is Hannah, and she's asked me out to lunch, twice.

You? [blinks and considers]

Ziva

Did your rocketship just take a nosedive?

No. It just landed on a different planet.

Ziva

There is no doubt in my mind you will get that confession, McGee.

[looks from her to Tony and smiles] Thank you, Ziva. [leaves]

He's toast, isn't he?

Ziva

Oh, yes. Burnt toast.

They haven't hurt McGee, have they?

Ziva

We have not heard anything.

[holds evidence box] Got something for ya from Trimble's apartment, Abby. We need to figure all this stuff out before sunset.

Define 'before sunset'!

Before the sun goes down.

[looks frustrated and sighs, grabbing the box and heads to table]

The sun sets at around 5:02. So, does that mean we have until five oh one?

Ziva

Before sunset.

That could be now. Not good enough! I can't take this. Every time you guys go out, and I never know if you're gonna make it back, [Tony and Ziva exchange a look as she mutters] and it's killing me. I can't sleep at night and I'm developing this sort of weird twitch.

Ziva

Our work is sometimes dangerous, Abby.

Then get a safer job.

Then you wouldn't see us at all.

[frowns] True. Still...sucks!

Ziva

I checked Trimble's phone records, Gibbs. One person called him over 150 times last month. It was another prison guard by the name of Brenda Carter.

Five calls a day. I give her an eight on the DiNozzo psycho chick meter. Ten being Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction. Look at those eyes; crazy eyes!

[seeing a large package on his desk] Oh, goody, they're here!

Goody? Who says goody?!

Ziva

What is it?

[opens box, pulling out an old computer] This is my Mac SE. Got it for my eleventh birthday. [lovingly] She's my first!

This is going to get really strange, isn't it?

Ziva

Going to?

Come on, baby, talk to me.

Ziva

[enters with a] Fingerprint sheet.

Oh, hey. I was just talking to the knife. You want to talk knives?

Ziva

Always.

[Tony and Ziva yelling into their desk telephones]

I already rebooted the system, Frank! Twice!

Ziva

Four hours! Four hours! That is how long I waited for your cable repairman! Four hours!

You already said that! No! I will not reboot again! I will never reboot it again!

Ziva

Reschedule?! So you can waste another Saturday?!

Just tell me you have no idea how to fix the problem, then we can both get on with our lives!

[Tony and Ziva slam their phones down in disgust]

Ziva

Someone will die today.
