Abby Sciuto quotes from NCIS

Gibbs

It's good work. Get the address to Tony and Ziva.

Gibbs

Nice job.

Abby

What the bio-hazardous material is this?

Gibbs

It's all they had.

Abby

A mini Pow?

Abby

Uggh, this is another bad omen. Gibbs, this does not bode well for my future.

Gibbs

Abby, I wouldn't worry about it.

Abby

Why's that?

Gibbs

Because, I've got your back. Always have, Abs. [kisses her on the cheek] Always will.

McGee

Now I understand why Tony took the couch in Paris.

Abby

Ziva said that she did.

Abby

Hi, Gibbs.

Gibbs

Hey, Abs.

Abby

Hi, Gibbs.

Gibbs

Hey, Abs.

Abby

Can I come in?

Gibbs

Yeah. You already are in.

Abby

Oh, right. Okay. It was nice talking to you.

Gibbs

Abs. Why are you here?

Abby

You know why I'm here. I matched the bullet in Pedro Martinez's head to your sniper rifle. You killed him. In cold blood. I mean, I know what he did, Gibbs. He killed your wife and your daughter, but Gibbs.

Gibbs

I know.

Abby

Gibbs doesn't do things like that, or does he? Now I don't know. I don't know anything. The only thing that I do know is that I didn't find this out by accident.

Gibbs

Rule forty.

Abby

If it seems like someone is out to get you, they are. You have no idea how much I wish it was yesterday. Maybe if I could just close my eyes and open them again it will be. [crosses her fingers and closes her eyes, only to open them in dismay] Do you realize the situation that I'm in now?

Gibbs

Yeah, I know.

Abby

Do you understand the choice that I have to make now?

Gibbs

I know.

Abby

Stop saying I know!

Gibbs

What do you want me to say?

Abby

Tell me I'm wrong! Tell me that I made a mistake with the ballistics or --

Gibbs

No. No, I can't say that.

Abby

Then tell me how much I've been like a daughter to you, and how much you love me.

Gibbs

Will that help?

Abby

No. What I really need to know, Gibbs, is if you're going to love me no matter what.

Abby

Since when did I become the kid in class that the teacher won't call on? The evidence in my report says that you killed Pedro Hernandez, and you're not even willing to talk to me about it.

Gibbs

I didn't think I needed to.

Abby

I owe you everything! You're Gibbs! No one needs to know the truth about the Hernandez investigation. I am willing to do anything for you. I just need you to tell me what to do.

Gibbs

No you don't, Abs. I've only ever needed you to do one thing.

Abby

My job. But it's different this time. I mean, it has to be, right?

Gibbs

No, it doesn't.

Abby

You guys are going to Mexico! What's the plan?

Tony

What do you know, Abs?

Abby

Gibbs mentioned rule forty.

Tony

If you think someone's out to get you, they are?

Ziva

I have never heard of a rule in the forties.

Tony

They don't come up very often.

Abby

And that's a good thing.

Ziva

How many times have I told Gibbs to write these things down?!

Tony

You don't have to write them down, they're for daily use, most of the rules, but the forties --

Abby

The forties. The forties are for emergency use only.

Tony

If the forties are in play something unspeakably bad is going down.

Ziva

We have to get him back.

Ducky

Did I ever tell you about the first case that Jethro and I worked? Two sailors capsized a recreational skiff one summer's eve; panic ensued. When they were finally located, one sailor was dead and the other severely hypothermic.

Abby

So the one sailor drowned?

Ducky

No. Rather than watch his friend slowly expire, one sailor stabbed the other, claiming that it was more humane. He was convinced that his actions were justified.

Abby

Like Gibbs twenty years ago. [Ducky nods] Ducky, what if this doesn't work? What's going to happen with Gibbs?

Ducky

In 1940 Winston Churchill sat in his bunker smoking one of those majestic cigars, waiting for news that the first German bombs were decimating London. "Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty," he said over the radio, "and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'" The hour is upon us, Abby. All we can do is wait and see.

Abby

Also, you are not to touch my computer, my lab equipment, my mp3 player, my Caf-Pow, my desk or Burt my farting hippo without my express written consent.

Well, how am I going to do anything then?

Abby

And there's no cameras or flash photography.

I don't have a camera.

Abby

And if accidentally turn my back to you, you are to immediately move back into my eyeline.

Why don't I just wear bells?

Abby

That's a really good idea! [moves across the lab and retrieves a set of bells from a drawer] I mean, I'm sorry about this. Darren worked out, but I've just had problems with people that have been assigned to my lab. [holds out the bells]

I'm not putting those on.

Abby

Oh, actually you are!

No, I'm not?

Abby

[cheerfully] Except for the fact that you are.

Gibbs

[walks in] Abs, I need something fast.

Abby

[to Seelus] To be continued. [to Gibbs] Who are you and what you done with my Gibbs who doesn't like interns?

Abby

[jumps when Gibbs touches her shoulder] Gibbs! Are you trying to give me heart palpitations?

Gibbs

No. What do you got, Abs?

Abby

Heart palpitations.

Abby

We communicate in the same way. I could tell the first time I saw all of this. Everyone else saw chaos, and I saw patterns right away; there was order to the chaos. I want you to know that whatever it is that you're trying to tell me, I promise you, I promise I'll understand.

Ducky

Careful. Sometimes they talk back.

McGee

How many Caf-Pow's have you had today?

Abby

Um, Eleven..teen.

Abby

But, you just got here dont you wana stay a couple of days. You can have some quality time with Tony.

Dinozzo Sr.

Ohhh, I'd love too Abby, but I have to get back to New York I've been away to long.

Ziva

But we barely got to see you.

McGee

Yeah, we were kinda hopin to hear your version of why Jr. got expelled from boarding school.

Tony

Your wildest dreams McGee. Let's go dad!

Dinozzo Sr.

What's the matter with you Jr? Relax.

Gibbs

Hey, DiNozzo hold on a minute.

Tony

Don't move. Stay. [walks over to Gibbs] Yeah boss.

Gibbs

Hey, where's your dad going?

Tony

New York

Gibbs

No not yet we need him get us into the reception.

Abby

You should see your dad.

Ziva

How would that help the case?

Abby

It wouldn't. Have you even spoken to him?

Ziva

No.

Abby

Okay.

Ziva

What does it matter to you?

Abby

Do you think it's just by chance that he came back into your life? I mean, what about Gibbs and his father and Tony? It's just that there comes a point, you know, in your lifetime where they really come back into your life, because they matter to you, and because you matter to him. I mean, I suppose that it sounds complicated, but believe me, it's not nearly as complicated as knowing that they're never, ever going to come back again.

Abby

[referring to Eli David] He knew how to do it. He just confessed to knowing how to build the murder weapon. I mean, come on! How many people know how to build a homemade Claymore mine?

In this room? [he, Liat and Ziva raise their hands]

Abby

Okay, fine. [raises her hand]

Tony

No, I saw what happened! You and I were having a conversation, we're trying to work something out.

Ziva

Yeah! It is a violation. There is an expectation of privacy in our own office.

Tony

And she's just chatting away, right over the hedge.

Ziva

It is over the edge!!

Tony

Actually, it's over the top, but it's pushing you over the edge.

Ziva

Huh?

Tony

And you know what I think? [walks into the lab to hear McGee and Abby speaking] What are you guys talking about?

Abby

Um, tanning hides. You?

Ziva

The same.

Tony

Easy.

Gibbs

What do you got?

Abby

Other than my respect and adulation for human's ability to engineer teeny, tiny parts made of nothing but sand?

Gibbs

[looking down at a touchpad computer] Is it dead or alive?

Abby

It's neither. It's like a zombie, Gibbs; if you don't kill the brain, it doesn't die.
