You're never making me breakfast!

It's supposed to be "eggs".

ZivaYou can't make an omelet without breaking some legs.
You're never making me breakfast!
ZivaThat is the truth!
It's supposed to be "eggs".
ZivaCook them yourself!
ZivaThis reminds me of the forests I used to have fun in as a child.
I find that hard to believe.
ZivaWhat, that Israel had forests?
No, that you had fun as a child.
Ziva[laughs] Oh, sure. My father used to blindfold us, take us to the middle of the forest, and then we had to find our way out by ourselves.
I stand corrected.
How was the pawn shop?
ZivaI hit a stone wall.
It's a brick wall.
ZivaNo, it was a stone wall. I backed up too quickly.
[imitating Gibbs] Gear up!
You're not Gibbs.
[imitating Gibbs] There's a gun found at a Navy base housing.
Abby, that doesn't warrant a team call-out. A: There are thousands of guns on a Navy base..
..and B: You're not Gibbs.
Ok, what if I told you that the base MP's gave me the gun to test.
Doesn't warrant a team call-out. [Ziva and Tony shake their heads in unison]
And the gun was found under a kid's bed. And, it was loaded.
ZivaStill does not warrant a call-out.
[Abby drinks from Gibbs' coffee cup and gags]
And it was recently fired.
It's not a call-out!
[walking into the office] You heard the lady. Gear up!
They only listen to their master, Gibbs. Only you can crack the whip. [hands coffee to Gibbs] Only you can drink the swill.
Ziva[on the phone outside the safehouse] Tony, we have been compromised.
What are you talking about, Ziva? Is this a drill??
Did she get my medicine?!
ZivaI'm going around the back.
Come here. Let's go. What are you doing?! Let's go! [sees Ziva walk in the door] Should we go?
ZivaWe are more vulnerable in transit. Take cover.
What is she going to do?
You know, I don't really know. Bathroom, now.
Ziva[calls Gibbs on speakerphone and places phone on the table, then draws two pistols]
Yeah? Gibbs.
ZivaWe have a situation at the safehouse.
Well, yeah, Ziva. What is it?
ZivaJust a second. [both men break in a door each, only to be shot dead]
Ziva? Ziva! Ziva, talk to me!
ZivaUnder control. [hangs up]
[smiles and hangs up]
In a topsy-turvy world where nothing is as it seems, the one place you can turn to is the wall! [slaps his hands on the NCIS Most Wanted wall]
ZivaWe ran his prints. The coma man is indeed Jonathan Siravo.
Yes. The master of pirates can't change his diapers, but running an international crime syndicate?! That he can do in his sleep! [glares] You lied to me, wall!
Oh, I remember those days. When I was carefree and full of joy. I envy you, Tony.
Why are you dressed for a funeral, Abby?
Is everything okay?
No. Frank is sick.
ZivaWho is Frank?
My mandibular second molar. It's been killing me for a week. I'm finally going to the dentist.
You name your teeth?
You don't?
ZivaThis is nice. Being able to work without Tony's incessant babbling. It is almost as if he cannot go on for more than thirty seconds without hearing his own voice. You know, the truly amazing thing is that he fails to realize just how irritating he is to those around him.
Ziva!
ZivaYes, Gibbs?
Babbling.
Did I miss it?
ZivaNo, he's letting him sit.
Sit?! He gets a chair? He -- he kills bunnies!!
Long distance can be hard. Telefriend from Tel Aviv?
ZivaYou're jealous.
I'm not jealous.
ZivaYes, you are.
No, I'm not. I'm not arguing, boss.
Argue!
Am not!
He got a name?
ZivaWho?
The star of David.
ZivaOh, him. Yes, he has a name.
Trevor? Bruce? Marmaduke?
ZivaMichael.
Hm. He sounded more like a Bruce than a Michael on the phone.
Okay, grab your toothbrush.
Road trip?
Los Angeles.
Cali-for-ni-ay. What time do we leave?
Not we. [Points to McGee]
McGee? Not me? McGoo? You?!
Are we fighting?
ZivaIf we were you would be on the floor bleeding.
Okay, I accept that as a likely outcome.
I have a problem with your boyfriend killing our two prime suspects.
ZivaReally? In my country that would be cause for celebration!
Well, you aren't in your country and neither is he!
He's already killed two suspects.
ZivaWell, in my country that would be cause for celebration!
You're not in your country and neither is he!
ZivaHe did not get out this way.
Unless could cross a lawn without bending a blade of grass.
ZivaNot impossible with the proper training.
She can also do that trick where you put your ear to a rail and you can hear a train coming.
You get the same training?
Me? No. But I can eat a bucket of chicken in one sitting, and I have x-ray vision.
