Scenes with Ziva David 510

Ziva

Hey, any of you notice something different about Ducky?

Yeah, he has seemed awfully chipper as of late.

Ducky does seem plucky. No one loves rain in D.C.

Ziva

No, his ties! He's been wearing tie ties, not his bow ties.

Wow. That's very observant.

Ziva

I found candy leftover from Valentine's day.

Candy from who?

Ziva

Why does it matter?

It matters because you didn't eat it and so that person must not mean very much to you. It means something!

Ziva

It means nothing.

Well I'm glad I wasn't your valentine.

Ziva

So am I!

Ziva

What is CGIS?

Coast Guard Investigative Service.

Ziva

The Coast Guard has an investigative branch?

Well, they're smaller than us, but with a wider law enforcement reach.

Ziva

But it is the Coast Guard!

Whoa, whoa. No need to get uppity. Yes, Virginia, there is a CGIS.

Now they may not have our track record, or our je ne sais quoi, but they are our legitimate sibling.

Like Corky in Life Goes On.

Ziva

These are ocean charts. [points] This is where the Delilah was abandoned.

Calafuego. Treasure hunters.

Ziva

Is that was this is all about? Treasure?

Pirate treasure.

Ziva

Well this looks like David Jones' Locker.

Davy Jones'. He used to sing with The Monkees.

Ziva

Real monkeys?

I envy your brain sometimes.

Wait a minute. You're saying the widow and the stud diver, they... they did it together? [turns to Ziva] Ziva'd you hear that?

Ziva

Yes.

Yes what?

Ziva

Yes, I heard the wife did it, Tony! Okay, yes, you are a genius!

Okay, question, where would you hide a lot of money if you were afraid your house could be ceased?

[slaps the table] Not in my house!

Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime?

Ziva

It is just a movie, Tony.

How dare you? [puts down popcorn and hands Ziva a drink] Is Mickey just a mouse? Ringling Brothers just a circus?

Ziva

Yes.

[chuckles] Well, you see, that's why you don't have any friends.

Ziva

I do have friends!

Really? Then what are you doing with me, watching a movie on a Friday night at work? Huh?

Ziva

You are my friend.

Really?

Ziva

No. My date canceled.

Mine, too. [They smile and begin to watch The Black Pirate]

Ziva

[to Tony and McGee] You know what, you two? I have actually heard of this. You two are having a seven year bitch.

Itch, and yes we are.

Ziva

You two are like a married couple.

Oh, no they're not. They're still speaking.

W1Witness 1

It's gnarly, dude.

W2Witness 2

Yeah, for real.

Words, use 'em. Helpful words.

W2Witness 2

We were sleeping in our van, yo, right. We heard bam, bam, boom, boom, crack, crack.

W1Witness 1

Gunshots, dude. That's what I said. I was like, dude, gunshots. [turns to look at friend] Right?

Ziva

So you're saying there were six gunshots?

W1Witness 1

No, two gunshots. But there was like an echo and he was like, dude don't look and I was like dude were looking.

W2Witness 2

Yeah, and then, then we like peeked through the windows and we saw two dudes drive off in a black Lincoln.

Two? You sure there's two, it wasn't an echo?

W1Witness 1

Yep, two dudes.

W2Witness 2

Two dudes.

Well, wouldn't Susan know? She was there, right? Are you guys sure that we can trust her, because I am not.

And why, may I ask, is that?

C'mon, Ducky. Everyone knows that Susan's taken a little shine to McGee.

[Ziva punches Tony in the stomach and he groans]

That has nothing to do with it. McGee, he's a capable investigator, but when it comes to matters of the heart he can be a bit... naive.

Ziva

Are you... talking from experience?

That's classified. Just think about his last girlfriend. She tried to kill him!

Oh, I get it. You're trying to cover McGee like a protective hen.

Or an overprotective panther.

[shrugs uncomfortably] Okay... If Susan can't tell you who lucky number eleven is, I can. Just keep her out of my hair.

GAgent Grady

You have to catch them! Now! Like, right now.

We're working on it.

Ziva

We have hit a shamu.

GGrady

Does she mean snafu?

Roll with it.

[Tony and Ziva enter the squadroom and see Palmer without his shirt on, and a rash erupting around his henna tattoo]

Dear God... someone fed him after midnight.

Ziva

Jimmy, what happened to you?

It turns out I am really allergic to henna. I can't reach back there, so do you think you guys could...?

I'm late for a squash game!

Ziva

I'm sorry, I've got to get the hell out of here.

Please, guys! It really itches!

[Tony and Ziva make a run for the elevator, Jimmy runs after them.]

That's what girlfriends are for!

I can get the top part!

Stay, stay, stay!

[They try to fend him off, but Jimmy gets on the elevator with them; all arguing at once.]

Ziva

No, no, no! Please, do not... that could be very contagious! I may have to hurt you massively.

She'll do it, she'll do it!

I would do it for you!

Ziva

No, you wouldn't!

[Elevator doors close]

Ziva

So, what exactly are you looking for in Miss Right?

[laughs] Well, aside from the obvious physical requirements, I don't know. I guess she'd be a very independent woman, intelligent, successful, professional.

Ziva

Okay, just one question: what would this woman, possibly, see in you?

[They smile and walk away from each other]

I bet Abby could last longer than ten seconds playing random chat.

Ziva

You are obsessed.

You wouldn't understand.

Ziva

Why is that?

Because, being irritating is second nature to you. Me, I'm charming.

Ziva

[scoffs]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say serial killer.

Ziva

[laughs] A limb. Nice!

Can I give you a hand? These are terrible jokes...

Why would you let someone get away with rape?

Ziva

Perception. Burrows is in the military. If a woman cries rape, no man on that ship would ever totally trust her again.

Well, you're a woman. What would you do?

Ziva

I am different. After torturing them until they cried like babies, I would castrate them and give them what they deserve.

Hmm. Spoken like a true almost-American.
