Scenes with Ziva David 510

Ziva

Where did all these people come from?

Didn't you see the signs? It's yard sale day.

Ziva

I see. And do Marines sell their yards often?

No. It's actually when people gather stuff they don't want anymore and sell them in their yards.

Ziva

Why would anybody want to buy somebody else's junk?

One man's junk is another man's treasure.

Ziva

In Israel we have a saying: "zevel, zeh zevel". [Tony and McGee look at Ziva, confused] "Crap is crap."

Hey, quit feeling sorry for yourself. Do what you do best.

What, you mean screwing up?

No, finding answers when no one else can.

Ziva

That was nice of you.

Never kick a probie when he's down, Ziva.

Ziva

I thought the expression was "dog."

Same difference.

Okay, this guy isn't smart enough to cover his tracks.

He's doing pretty well so far.

He does online auctions from his laptop. Super collectibles.

Ziva

Ultra collectibles and auctions dot com. Can we trace him?

If we can pinpoint some of his items. Do you know what he sells?

Star Wars stuff.

That narrows it down to like 50 million people.

Uh, some kind of figurine. There's only three of them?

Yoda? C3PO? Storm trooper?

Ziva

Wookiee. It is a special edition prototype from 1978. It comes equipped with an ammo belt. There are only three in existence.

A Star Wars junkie, huh?

Ziva

Not especially.

She has a photographic memory, probie, not a social disorder.

If things get hairy, just follow my lead.

Ziva

I don't need a babysitter, Tony, I have been in hundreds of these situations.

Never with me. As far as I'm concerned, you're a probie.

Ziva

I've never had sex with you either - does that mean I'm a virgin?

Ziva

You really believe this is an obsessed voyeur? The women identity's were protected by masks.

Half a mask.

Ziva

Still, the odds of finding him off a list that size...

Are better than the odds of you winning this argument.

Ziva

Are you sure these are corpse-smelling dogs?

Of course. That's why they're alerting to McGee. He's been a dead man since yesterday.

Ziva

How did you end up here, McGee?

Well, I rode in the back of the van you may have noticed my screaming as Tony ran that light.

Ziva

Not here here, at NCIS. I know Tony's story, what's yours?

You want the long version or the short version?

Oh, there's only one version. McGee showed up on our doorstep like a little lost poodle.

That is not true Ziva!

No, you're right. It was more like a St Bernard.

Ziva

Frank Connell is a deacon at his church, never had a moving violation, let alone a parking ticket, and he calls his mother every Sunday. The man is spic and spam.

The saying is "spic and span." Spam is lunch meat.

Ziva

Oh. What exactly is span then?

Span is, uh... I'll get back to you on that.

Ziva

The boy has remarkable memory. There's also someone here from Social Security to pick him up.

Services, Ziva. Social Security is for older people.

Ziva

Noted.

Commander Tanner's been gone for forty-seven hours.

Ziva

If he's not dead, he soon will be.

Maybe we can convince her to change her mind about the lawyer?

Ziva

Oh, I can convince her of far more than that.

How long?

Ziva

Not long.

McGee, you thirsty? Come on, I'll get you a cup of coffee.

New hires just keep getting younger, eh Madam Director?

(smiling) Obviously you didn't get the memo, Agent Dinozzo!

(confused as he keeps up with all memos and emails) What memo?

Ziva

The one where it explains the next person to call her "Madam" gets keelhauled, what ever that is.

(grimacing) It's... uh (struggles to think of how to describe it)

Unpleasant!

It's a matter of opinion, Tony so how could it be wrong?

It's just a matter of you having the wrong opinion!

Ziva

(groans) Why don't you just agree to disagree?

I don't agree to that!

Boss? The way the director cut her hair? Do you like it?

She cut her hair?

[Midway through Tony and Ziva's undercover act as married assassins, Abby calls with autopsy results that show the wife was pregnant.]

Ziva

What are you doing?

I'm trying to picture you pregnant.

Ziva

Don't!

I have to, I'm gonna be a father! It's a great responsibility.

Ziva

Maybe it's not yours.

Maybe she didn't know.

Ziva

Oh, she knew.

Then why take this contract? Put our unborn child in danger?

Ziva

Maybe we needed the money.

Kids are expensive...

Ziva

And bullets are cheap. There is a big chance that this meeting is a set-up, Tony.

Are you scared?

Ziva

No... excited.
