Scenes with Ziva David 510

Wish I had a neighbor like that. Old bat that lives next to me complains every time I bring a date home. Want to know why?

Ziva

Shouting out "no means no!"?

Ha, that's a good one, but that's a good one, but not even close.

Ziva

I was actually kidding.

Oh.

Ziva

I have the same problem at my place Tony.

Really? You have a surround-sound system too?

Ziva

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

[Tony and Ziva are watching Gibbs interrogating a suspect]

Ziva

This woman is a total turd! [Tony looks at her strangely] A geek, yes?

The term is nerd.

[Ziva has come down to Autopsy to see if there is any new discoveries pertaining to the death of a suspect she accidentally killed in the elevator.]

And you probably shouldn't be down here.

Ziva

I shouldn't be here, I shouldn't be in the field, can you please 'please' tell me where I should be?

Well, I can understand your feelings of alienation.

Ziva

Everyone's avoiding me! Do they think I am just going to lose control, just enter the building and massacre everyone?! I mean, I am being treated like a leopard.

I believe the phrase is 'like a leper'.

[The team is sitting in a car parked at the docks, watching a freighter]

This is so "Usual Suspects"...

Ziva

Tony, your dying words would be, "I've seen this film."

Ziva

I'm confused.

So am I, and I saw the DVD twice.

The Sound of Music confuses you, Probie.

Ziva

I love that movie!

[She opens her mouth to sing, Tony claps a hand over her mouth.]

One note, and I will lock you in a room and make you listen to "It's A Small World" for twenty-four hours straight. Do we understand each other?

Ziva

[muffled] Mmm-hmm.

[Interrogating a ship's captain, Ziva plucks away his cigar.]

CCaptain

[in Turkish, under his breath] Bitch...

{confused} What did he say?

Ziva

[in Turkish] How would you like this bitch to apply that cigar to your testicles?

Now what did you say?

Ziva

That I understood him.

[McGee doesn't want to go into the room where the explosion happened, and Tony gives him a job to do outside]

[as he's leaving] On it, boss!

[smiles] I do love it when he calls me boss.

Ziva

Is that why you're being nice to him?

I'm not being nice. Lugging foot lockers is probie work. [Ziva gives him a knowing look] ...All right, I cut the probie some slack.

What are you not telling me?

What do you mean?

You have that three-little-pigs-look.

What?

The three little pigs. They were afraid to open the door because the big bad wolf was outside.

I don't know what are you talking about. (Something rings...)

Wow... this is definitely going on my wall. (Ziva walks in)

Ziva

I should be a professional photographer!

The Director hasn't called.

Ziva

About?

About?! Gibbs!

Ziva

Oh...

She didn't call you, did she?

Ziva

No.

Because, you know, the way you're acting, you might have just, I don't know, forgotten to tell.

Ziva, do you notice anything different in here?

Ziva

No music.

That's it! No music. (He looks at Abby) You know, you usually play music in here...

What if those were Gibbs' guts smooshed all over that room?

Ziva

Oh, for God's sake, Abby, they're not.

What if they were?!

Ziva

The color would be more coffee-brown than red.

(Abby slaps her on the face, Ziva slaps her back, Abby slaps her again and so does Ziva. McGee looks shocked).

[Interrogating a ship's captain, Ziva plucks away his cigar.]

CCaptain

[in Turkish, under his breath] Bitch...

[confused] What did he say?

Ziva

[in Turkish] Want to see this bitch take that cigar to your testicles?

Wait, what'd you say?

Ziva

That I understood him.

(Ziva remembers the idiom from 3.08)

Ziva

Oh! Listen to the pot call the kettle black. Got that right, didn't I?

No.

(McGee gives her a thumbs-up)

Ziva

Yes!

Ziva

You know what that means?

The director's taking over the investigation.

Ziva

Probably, but I was thinking if Gibbs doesn't remember the last 15 years, he'll be a probie.

Gibbs would never let her take over.

Ziva

Not the old Gibbs... "Probie Gibbs"?? (Tony jumps up, running after Director Shepard)

(Ziva and Gibbs are talking in hospital room.)

We work together?

Ziva

Yes. I'm a Mossad officer attached to your team.

Mossad? When did they start doing that...

Ziva

It's been a year.

Don't feel bad, I worked for that...

Ziva

Ducky 10 years and you don't remember him!

Do you always finish people sentenc...

Ziva

Only when I'm in a hurry.
