You are a woman.
ZivaYou're a genius.
Korby was awesome. He came up with new practical jokes every Halloween. Nothing dangerous. I mean, no razor blades. He'd freeze all kinds of stuff, blow things up. It was funny.
And illegal!
ZivaAnd you are?
Ted Rogers. I live across the street. First he drove us crazy with his pranks, now he dies in his driveway!
Well, it sounds like you've got a problem in your neighborhood, Mr. Rogers. That's a nice sweater, by the way.
Look at this. [watching video of teenagers T-Ping a tree] Two ply, double roll, top tuck with a thirty foot vertical climb. This kid has got an arm! Perfect drapage and good trunk to top ratio. It's very impressive.
ZivaI do not understand the humor or the art.
It's a cultural thing. Tony would tell you.
[after Ziva knocks on his door] There's no candy here!
ZivaNCIS! We don't want any candy!
Speak for yourself, David. Open up or we'll send the kids in!
Ziva[walks to Tony's desk, holding a coffee cup] You know, Tony, I have been thinking, and I would like to acknowledge my place as a new agent and your place as-
Your superior in every way.
Ziva[takes a deep breath] Yes. But for my sanity, could you not call me probie?
I say it with love.
[Long pause.]
And if I refuse?
ZivaYou are senior field agent and I am entirely at your mercy.
As you should be!
[He accepts the coffee and sips, looking surprised.]
Mmm! Mmm-.mm!
[He chuckles appreciatively, while Ziva looks very pleased at how much he likes it... until he grins, showing his teeth have been stained blue.]
Are you studying to become a naturalized American citizen?
ZivaI have to if I want to become an agent.
Good for you, Ziva.
Who says we want her as an American?
ZivaWho says you have a say?
A little thing called the Constitution!
Ziva[sarcastically] Really? Where?
It's in there, and it talks about dangerous foreign aliens stealing our precious bodily fluids.
That's Dr. Strangelove.
That's --
Uh-huh!
It's no longer in --
Nuh-uh!
ZivaThis is Gibbs' boat.
This is the crime scene! It was flown here on a C130 cargo plane along with two bodies and all the evidence, and now it is mine. It is all mine! So I can figure out the mystery!
What mystery? Who the dead guys were?
ZivaOr who killed them.
Or how they ended up on the boat.
Sure, you guys should work on that! While I figure out how he got it out of the basement!
ZivaThose are none of your business, those belong to McGee.
They're funny.
ZivaThey're private.
They're self-help CD's McLonely's hearts ordered...um, download your destiny. Three easy payments of $19.95 each satisfaction guarranted or your money back.
ZivaMaybe McGee's already satisfied.
Well maybe there's an easter bunny too.
ZivaTony...
Anyone can achieve their fullest potiental. Who we are might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of our [Tony laughs]
ZivaOh my god, turn that off!
I love this guy! Sort of a poor man Shatner.
We should never allow our fears or the exceptions of others to set the frontiers of our [Ziva shuts it off]
ZivaI've heard enough maybe your the one who needs the self-help.
Well, see that's where your wrong Ziva. I'm already enlightened.
Well, you're off on your own, Ziva. I'm already enlightened. I know exactly where I am. It may not be pretty, but I am DiNozzo. Hear me roar.
ZivaLike an elephant.
Lee Wuan Kai: North Korean assassin, one time fanatical nationalist, credited with 27 targeted hits in seven countries, dozens more by association --
She likes quiet walks on the beach, laughing with friends and playing Frisbee with her Cocker spaniel Ruphus.
Ziva[snatches the paper away] It does not say that.
Well it might as well. Look at those come hither eyes, those perfect kiss me now lips. No wonder Vance is obsessed. Kai's killing me and I'm just looking at her. You and Kai are probably a lot more alike than you think.
ZivaI do not follow.
Really? A couple of pretty ladies, both trained assassins.
ZivaYou annoy me sometimes.
Sometimes?
ZivaMost of the time!
Well somethiing must of happened between Kai and Vance. Seriously director shows up at a crime scene that's not kosher.
It's in your blood isn't it.
ZivaWhat is?
Your thinking of how your gonna get him. Maybe some intense mind games followed by sheer force [Locks the women door] Go for the the jugular or the slow kill your a dangerous woman.
ZivaWho am I getting Agent Dunham
Why would you want Dunham thought we were talking about Pak Su Ji
ZivaDunham is from Texas. I like Texas what is that saying anyway umm, he cleans up nice.

ZivaHowever.

ZivaWell to answer your question how would I get him brut force is intriguing.
Who are we talking about right now Pack Su Ji or the Texas Longhorn.
[Tony laughs]
Heck of a day isn't it.
You went home.
Yeah, just for an hour.
I've been talking to agents all night doing recon and you went home and got your game on with little sexy miss text message, Ziva look at him.
ZivaWhat are you talking about?
He's ussing a husky cave man esk primitive satisfication like Heston in Planet of the Apes and it didn't matter that that world was ruled by arrangatanges because Heston went straight for the mute chick in the loing claw you pulled a Heston. Didn't you?
I don't know about that. It was only for a few minutes.
Yeah sometimes that's all it takes in my middle aged world.
Ziva[LAUGHS] You are so jealous.
Yes I am and there's nothing wrong with that I'm proud of Tim, very proud of you did you take pictures
Please.
ZivaWell I'm excited to meet her make sure she's good enough for you.
Do you see this? Nine hours, 21 minutes! [shoves his watch in Ziva's face]
ZivaHas it been that long? [takes the watch away and breaks it]
Why did you do that??
ZivaBecause it was either you or the watch!
It's just, what's taking so long, you know?
ZivaLook, I'm sure we're not the only ones that need to be rescued. Plus, things could be a lot worse.
Yeah, how's that?
ZivaWe could be stuck here with Tony.
[from outside the elevator] I heard that! I find it very interesting that the two of you left together late last night!
ZivaJust ignore him. He's like an annoying bug. Eventually he'll just go away.
Ziva, it's been five years. Trust me, he's not going anywhere.
If you want, I could sing a song for you guys.
We'd rather have an update, Tony.
There was an explosion at a Potomac Electric substation, causing some kind of... wait, what is it? Uh, begins with a "C", rhymes with... "parade sailor"?
Cascade failure?
Cascade failure! God, you're good at this, McGee! So that chain reaction knocked out power in half the District. PEPCO says they'll have it back up soon.
ZivaCannot happen soon enough. I'm sure Gibbs is feeling right at home.
Well, you don't need electricity to use hand tools or drink a bottle of bourbon. [laughs]
[from inside the elevator] He's right behind you, isn't he?
[realizes] Yes, he is. Boss, you know, there's nothing wrong with the occasional cocktail.
