Jenny Shepard quotes from NCIS

Jenny

Fact is, you're good, the best. When you're as good at something as you are, you can make a difference like you can, you just don't quit.

Jenny

She seems to be fitting in well.

Gibbs

She almost killed my entire team yesterday.

Jenny

How?

Gibbs

Driving home from a crime scene.

Jenny

I should have warned you. I think she was an Eastern European cab driver in a past life.

Ziva

(facing the monitor) A marine dressed in civil war uniform is shot by a musket and is then buried alive in a 230 year old casket (turns to face to Tony and McGee who are stuffing their faces) and you're telling me this isn't your strangest case?

Tony

(with his mouth full) Yep!

McGee

(with his mouth full) Pretty much!

Ziva

I don't know which is more disturbing! Your eating habits or the fact that I believe you!

Tony

I'm sorry! Do our strange American foods frighten you?

McGee

(laughs)

Ziva

Not at all, I was referring to your manners! You should have bought me one! (leans over and takes a bit of Tony's wrap) Mm!

McGee

(hurriedly) I'm gonna go help Abby!

Tony

(passes his wrap to her and spits out his unswallowed mouthful)

Jenny

She seems to be fitting in well.

Gibbs

She almost killed my entire team yesterday.

Jenny

How?

Gibbs

Driving home from a crime scene.

Jenny

I should have warned you. I think she was an Eastern European cab driver in a past life.

He said the paper mix-up could be resolved with my husband's teeth.

Jenny

If Special Agent Gibbs told you that, I'm sure it's the truth. He's one of the most knowledgeable agents I've ever worked with.

I had that impression. I'm glad he was assigned this, even it is punishment.

Jenny

[surprised] Punishment?

The new director has it in for him.

Jenny

He told you that?

Well, I've seen it before. When Parker was XO for one of the first female ship captains. Phew! The woman was a nightmare trying to prove herself.

Jenny

Special Agent Gibbs. [glares at him] I didn't know the new director was punishing you. [Gibbs smiles discreetly] She always seemed very fair to me.

Well, you're a woman. She doesn't have anything to prove to you.

Jenny

[spots the team looking on from the side and walks over to Ziva] How about you? What do you think? Do you think the new director is reasonable?

Ziva

[smiles] Very.

Tony

Shouldn't he be awake by now?

Jenny

You know Gibbs. He keeps his own schedule. Do you know what REM is?

Tony

Sure. Rapid Eye Movement. It happens when you're asleep and dreaming.

Jenny

That's what it looks like he's doing now.

Tony

Oh well, that's gotta be a good sign right?

Jenny

If it isn't a nightmare.

Jenny

You're turning down a promotion because of Gibbs' mustache?

Tony

He called Ziva 'Kate' yesterday

Jenny

SECDEF staff are worried that it was an attempt on the life of their boss.

Gibbs

Are we worried?

Jenny

If it was an assassination attempt, he's a lousy assassin. Used his body as a weapon and missed by 75 feet.

Shepard

Before you go, Fornell, there is one thing...

Gibbs

Come with me Tobias, I want to show you something.

You've got that moustache in a box, don't you?

Jenny

You were supposed to keep Mister Harrow under surveillance, not chase him into a coronary!

McGee

Director, once he made us, we had to take him into custody, didn't we?

Ziva

No, the Director's right. We could of let Haro escape. If he sold ARES, we could of caught "Black Rose" or "La Grenouille" selling it to Iran!

Jenny

Don't be cute, Officer David! I'm saying there had to be a better way! Right Tony? [Jenny glares at Tony for some support]

Tony

Uh, that's right Director. They could've -

Gibbs

- Shot him.

Tony

That's right, they could have shot him.

Gibbs

Of course, in high octane situation, Ziva reverts to her Mossad training and probably would've put a round through his heart.

Ziva

Three rounds...

Gibbs

And McGee, not to be outdone, would've -

McGee

- Added three more rounds.

Jenny

Gibbs...

Gibbs

See, there you go. Six rounds, same result. One dead Mister Harrow.

Ducky

I signed for the body. Cause of death was most likely a - [noticing Jenny glaring at Gibbs] Am I interrupting?

Jenny

Not at all, Doctor. We were just discussing the various ways NCIS could have killed Mister Harrow besides chasing him to death!

Ducky

I am interrupting... [Turns around and starts to walk away]

Jenny

Doctor! [Ducky turns back] Death was most likely caused by?

Ducky

Myocardial Infarction. It was probably brought on by a combination of a high fat Western diet, little exercise, and the mistaken belief he could run up all those stairs. Rigorous for most - rigor mortis for him.

Jenny

Anything else?

Ducky

Well, not until I do the - [Jenny glares at Gibbs and then hurries off] - autopsy.

Jenny

[calling from Paris] Is the agency intact?

Gibbs

I cut it up into small bitsy pieces and sold it to the three-letter boys.

Jenny

Is the agency still intact after a week with Gibbs in charge?

Mmm... we survived.

Jenny

[chuckles] Did Gibbs?

Barely.

Gibbs

What were you doing for 21 hours, Jenny?

Jenny

What we used to do, ever so well.

Gibbs

When you lie, your right eye twitches. It always has.

Gibbs

You lost your protection detail in Paris. You went missing for 21 hours, where were you?

Jenny

You sound like a jealous husband.

Gibbs

How would you know?

Jenny

His cover is teaching film online in American university.

Ziva

Tony, a teacher?

McGee

No wonder he's been compromised. Who's bright idea was that?

Jenny

Mine.
