Scenes with Ziva David 510

[Upon seeing the name of the park's general store] Jackrabbit Slim's?

Ziva

Just like the diner in Pulp Fiction?

[pauses, giving her an odd look] You don't know how to say 'porcupine', but you know the diner from Pulp Fiction?

Ziva

Believe it or not, we actually have movie theaters in my country.

Ziva

Do you mind if I grab a bat nap?

FPFemale Park Ranger

No, just, um, hang from the rafters.

Slam dunk. We're going out next weekend. Yeah!

Ziva

That's not bad, Tony. Landis asked me out tonight. I said 'no'. I don't want him to think I'm sleazy.

That term is "easy."

Ziva

What's the difference?

Mostly the makeup.

[Leaving for search for the killer in the forest] Ziva, you stay here with Ranger Hendricks.

Ziva

Gibbs, I think I'd be better suited --

We're taking him alive. Let's roll. [He's leaving with others, Ziva and Ranger Hendricks stay]

RHRanger Hendricks

I hate it when men try to protect you 'cause you're female.

Ziva

He's not trying to protect me. He's afraid I'd kill Rowan before he tells us where the girl is.

This isn't about orientation. It's about image.

Ziva

So your image is homo-pubic?

Homo-phobic.

Ice? That means...

Ziva

You're now going to make a really juvenile cold case joke.

It was a really good one too.

[To McGee] You've been watching too many cop shows.

Well, you've been watching too many... gang... person shows.

(from observation)

I don't think McGee watches enough cop shows.

Ziva

McGee is a capable interrogator. He can be quite intimidating when he wants to be.

You're deep moisturizing to bring out your "feminine glow".

I had dry skin, ok? My doctor recommended it.

[laughs mockingly] Haha! Well, you're walking a slippery slope there, Probelicious. Before you know it, you'll be taking bubble baths with your clogs on. [Ziva laughs quietly]

What is wrong with bubble baths?

[walks in and barks at the team before Tony has a chance to reply McGee] Load up!

[...]

Two kids found the First Sergeant floating under 6 inches of ice.

Ice? That means...

Ziva

You're now going to make a really juvenile cold case joke?

It was a really good one too.

[They walk into the elevator. McGee notices Gibbs looking at him.]

Something wrong, boss?

Just admiring your feminine glow. [Ziva snickers]

I'm just saying, Probie, the whole metrosexual thing isn't working for you.

I got it, Tony. Joke is over.

Not joking man. We all know that the ladies love a macho man who's in touch with his feminine side, but I gotta tell ya, I think you're coming off a little gay.

Ziva

Because he uses body lotion and likes to take bubble baths?!

You forget the manicure?

Manicure was only once and that was because I tore a cuticle.

You just set off gaydar across the entire Atlantic seaboard.

Tony I am not gay!

This isn't about orientation. This is about image.

Ziva

So now your image is homo-pubic?

Term is homo-phobic.

What Tony was saying about me before, you know. Do I come off as unmanly?

Ziva

[looks at him in surprise] I think Tony was jerking your brain.

Chain? Jerking my chain?

Ziva

Whatever. I think you're appropriately masculine.

[McGee walks away, satisfied.]

Ziva

[pauses] However, perhaps not macho. [McGee stops and looks at her] Tony and Gibbs are, uh, "tough guys". Yes, they're...

So I'm not tough.

[walks in] You have to ask.

Ziva

Downing was on a revenge mission.

First Sergeants don't go on revenge missions, Officer David.

Ziva

I would. Why not a Marine First Sergeant?

They have more control than you do.

Is that man lotion working for you Probie?

Didn't shave today. Trying a new look.

When you say "today", you mean the last couple of minutes or... [examines McGee's face]

Abby seems to like it.

Like what?

Ziva

Looks nice, McGee. It's very manly.

May I? [touches McGee's chin]

[Tony doesn't notice Gibbs has walked into the squad room]

DiNozzo.

[realizes Gibbs is behind him] Hey Boss.

Why are you touching his face?

[continues feeling McGee's chin] I don't know, it feels good though. It's like a bunny rabbit.

[Gibbs gives Tony a head-slap]

Don't!

[...]

McGee, you're trying too hard. [hands him a bottle of shaving cream]

How was the flight, Lance Corporal?

LCLance Corporal Jose Silva

It was, um… long, sir. How much trouble am I in?

Trouble? Why would you say that?

LCLance Corporal Silva

Four NCIS agents escorting one lance corporal?

You got it all wrong, Marine. She's Mossad.

I hope you slept on the plane, Lance Corporal.

Yeah, it's gonna be a long night. You want to get the cash first, or the Iraqi weapons?

Ziva

[steps on the gas pedal of the car and flooring it] Not scaring you, am I?

I'm fine.

LCLance Corporal Silva

I don't know what you're talking about, sir.

Really? 'Cause you were on leave with First Sergeant Downing, and you were with PFC Reggio the night he was killed in the drive-by shooting.

LCLance Corporal Silva

I can't help a coincidence.

Ziva

A coincidence, Lance Corporal? Five dead bodies, you're our only link.

Your company, your fellow Marines are stuck in Iraq until we solve this case.

SSilva

You don't think I know that, sir?

He knows. He just doesn't care.

Hey, Silva, you know what? We have names for guys like you when I was on active duty. A Bravo Foxtrot. It's an explicit term for a sexual…

LCLance Corporal Silva

It wasn’t supposed to happen like this!

Like what? [Ziva floors the car; punching it]

LCLance Corporal Silva

If a drive-by killing isn’t solved right away, the cops forget about it. NCIS forgot about it! Private Reggio was my best friend. He died in my arms. I couldn't just let that go, sir.

So you decided to turn a quick buck?

LCLance Corporal Silva

No. I called Sosa to meet… but… but not to sell him any weapons. I wanted blood.

And your First Sergeant found out about it.

LCLance Corporal Silva

I don't know how… but he did. He yanked my leave and restricted me to base.

Then he went to the meeting in your place.

LCLance Corporal Silva

He didn't go down there to kill anyone, sir. He went down there to make peace. To end it. He didn’t want anyone else to get hurt. If I could, I'd switch places with him. I would.

Yeah. Yeah, I think you would, Lance Corporal.

Every time I bring a date home, my neighbor complains about the noise.

Ziva

What... her shouting "no means no!"? Actually I have the same problem.

Oh, you have surround sound too?

Ziva

No, I'm what you Americans call a 'screamer', yes?
