Kate
Look, just don't take any chances, ok? I mean, if we're right about Sacco, he's got more than a screw loose.
Aww. Here I was thinking you didn't care.
Kate
It's not about caring. If anything happens to you, I'm gonna be stuck working here with Gibbs alone.
It's not that bad. A little grumpy sometimes--
[from the back of the squad room] Hey! DiNozzo! You still here?
Then again you may be onto something there.
Kate
ATF agent involved in illegal weapons and murder - what's not to like?
So quick to judge, Kate. Sure she has flaws, sure she's going to prison, but my instincts tell me she had good qualities as well.
Kate
Two of them wouldn't happen to live under her shirt, would they?
What if I wanted to get into that account?
Kate
(shrugs) Get a search warrant for the servers.
We don't have time for a warrant. What's a quicker way?
Kate
Hack into the servers.
[Gibbs tilts a brow and smiles.]
Kate
Can't believe I just said that. I would have never suggested that before I started working here.
JJohn
John, Ag Department.
Kate
Kate, NCIS.
Kate
Yes. Why?
JJohn
I've never seen you and I'm at NCIS twice a month.
Kate
You are?
JJohn
Yes, I specialize in hail and storm damage.
Kate
What NCIS do you think I'm with?
JJohn
National Crop Insurance Service.
That's us, she's a wiz on how corn losses affect pork belly futures.
Kate
That's my boss - weird sense of humor. [later, to Gibbs] "How corn losses affect pork belly futures?"
Rule number seven: always be specific when you lie.
[McGee has been working on the NCIS computer network by himself, despite having no orders to do so.]
You have any idea where thinking like this is going to lead you?
Promotion. You need any help, you ask Tony. It looks like he could use a workout.
[After Gibbs, and an irritated Tony leave]
Kate
Don't let him intimidate you, McGee, that's my job today.
[smashing cell phone on desk] God, I hate this thing! It's crap!
Kate
There's a secretary from the Pentagon downstairs and she claims her boss is being held hostage by his computer.
See? [holds up smashed phone] There's a reason I didn't trust these things. [tosses it to McGee] Here, reboot that or something. [to Kate] Send her up.
Kate
Or you can do what we always do.
[Tony pulls a box out of a filing cabinet drawer filled with new, unopened phones and hands it to McGee]
It's his third one this month.
[Later on]
[as her computer fizzles and crashes] NO! NO, NO, NO,... My baby just french-fried!
Believe it or not, Gibbs, not all computer problems can be solved by rebooting.
[brightly, holding up cell phone] Works for me.
McGee, where are you going?
Well, I got some good news, and some bad news for you. You've just been promoted. [holds up envelope with McGee's promotion] To a full-time field agent.
Really? That's incredible! What's-
[After he leaves]
Kate
Congratulations!
So, I-I'm one of you guys now, right? No more hazing?
Well, I-I just want to say that I never took it personal and I--
[Kate and Tony both head-slap McGee]
You know I could really get used to that.
[slams a portable fan onto his desk] Anyone, and I mean anyone, know when the air conditioner is getting fixed? What about the name of the genius who invented windows that don't open? Like, what are we on, a space ship? Windows should open!
Kate
[checks him out admiringly] Ooh! Have you been working out?
All summer long. Thanks for finally noticing!
Kate
No. I meant right now. 'Cause you're sweating like a pig and it's not very... [whispers] attractive!
[She sits down... and jumps up with a shriek when she realizes McGee is under her desk.]
[awkwardly] Morning, Agent Todd!
Kate
McGee...
Kate
You have two seconds to tell me what you're doing down there!
I'm upgrading the computer system, and, uh...
Kate
Time's up!
[She hauls him to his feet by his ears.]
N...n...no! I wasn't looking! Ahh! I wasn't looking!
[walking in] Tony, Did I just see what I thought I saw?
Um, out of respect for my co-workers, I'd have to say "yes, you did" and it's kind of disturbing.
I agree. Put your damn shirt on! This is a federal office building, not a gym! [notices McGee] Damn it, McGee, why are you still here?
The air conditioner's been turned off and it won't get turned on 'till the network's back on.
And you think it's acceptable to be crawling around all day, by yourself?
I just wanted it fixed before I returned to Norfolk.
You have any idea where thinking like this is going to lead you?
Promotion. You need any help, you ask Tony. It looks like he could use a workout.
[McGee notices Tony's death stare.]
It's not that hard, so I'll probably do it myself.
Kate
Don't let him intimidate you, McGee. That's my job today.
[Her phone rinks and she snatches it.]
Kate
Agent Todd!
Oh, I believe you. But let me ask you this... is she a pantyhose or a thong girl? 'Cause I'm thinking thong... [winces as Kate elbows him in the gut]
Kate, take McGee and search the Watsons' house. DiNozzo, I want everything there is on Watson and his family by the time I get back. [takes his SIG out and walks to elevator]
Where are you going Boss?
Kate
Wait, Gibbs, if they're watching him...
I'll make sure they don't notice!
Kate
[to Tony] That is not a good call.
[nonchalantly] Relax. You think Gibbs keeps that haircut to save on shampoo?
Kate
(walking up the front path with McGee in tow then notices the sweater) They either left in a hurry. Or were forced to!
How do you know she just didn't leave it there?
Kate
(looks at McGee like he's gone crazy) Because she's a little girl, McGee! (then says the stereotype of a boy) They're not typically slobs!
Remind me to introduce you to my little sister!
Kate
(using a Gibbs comeback) What was that?
(scared out of his wits) Nothing Agent Todd!
