Hello Jethro! (Gibbs pictures the two of them having sex in Paris) Shall we skip the "You-havn't-changed-a-bit" bull?
Why start lying to each other now Jen?
Any problem taking orders from me?
As Director or as a woman?
Either.

Hello Jethro! (Gibbs pictures the two of them having sex in Paris) Shall we skip the "You-havn't-changed-a-bit" bull?
Why start lying to each other now Jen?
Any problem taking orders from me?
As Director or as a woman?
Either.
(firmly) Special Agent Gibbs! (he turns around and walks to her) On the job...it is Director Shepeard or Ma'am!
Okay. What about off the job?
There won't be any "off the job", Agent Gibbs!
That's too bad.(meaning he still loves her) I missed you, Jen!
(her cheeks flushed) Don't make this difficult, Jethro!
Fair enough. It won't happen again, Director.
(walks in front of him) We can continue this conversation in private.
(flirting) I've gotta change my clothes. We can talk in my car on the way to the house.
(warning him) Gibbs!
Hey! I've got a dead agent and a sniper on the loose, I do not have ten minutes to spare!
This the same boat you were building six years ago?
Nope!
What happened to it?
I burned her!
Why would you...you named it after an ex-wife?
Lets go!
Which one?
You know damn well "which one"!
Why didn't you just change the name?
Because it wouldn't matter! Every time I went out on her I'd think of Diane!
You could have sold it!
And watch some other guy sail off on her?
(meaning sex) You didn't care who sailed off on Diane! Leroy Jethro Gibbs. You are a strange man!
Me? (scoffs) You were a good agent Jen!
Were?
Yeah! Director's job is pure politics!
I'm good at politics! NCIS needs someone who can shake the money tree on the hill AND work with sister agencies!
Wait! You won't call a boat a 'She'...but it's 'Sister Agencies'?
I'm a schitzoid libber! Comes from working with chauvanists like you!
I can't believe you'd give up field work for rubber chicken dinners!
I don't think they serve that dish at Palena!
Never heard of it!
Why would you? IT isn't take out!
So which of the tight sphincters is taking you out? Please tell me "it's not Fornell"!
CBS Early Show. They want coverage before I go on T.V!
No! Jen you can't do that!
Excuse me?
Ari is a chauvanist! He's taking the lives of the women I work with before me! So please...don't take that interview!
I'll see if I can postpone it a few days!
Thank you!
I can't believe it.
What?
I'm Director of NCIS less than 24hrs and I'm back on the street!
(smiles) Great isn't it!?
No Jethro! It isn't!
(flirting) Come on. Come on. You love it!
Truthfully? I'd rather be in bed! (Gibbs looks at her surprised then she notices the look and adds quickly) Sleeping.
Do you remember that stakeout in Marseilles? August, stuck in that attic with no-one. Photographing everyone that boarded that Lebanese trawler. (she looks away from him knowing what comes next in his recollection)That second night was the first time we...
(cutting him off, blushing) Okay! (She covers his mouth the whispers embarrased) Shut up!
Always admired your way with children. Ever think to have any of your own?
That an offer, Jen?
New hires just keep getting younger, eh Madam Director?
(smiling) Obviously you didn't get the memo, Agent Dinozzo!
(confused as he keeps up with all memos and emails) What memo?
The one where it explains the next person to call her "Madam" gets keelhauled, what ever that is.
(grimacing) It's... uh (struggles to think of how to describe it)
Unpleasant!
(walks down the steps to Gibbs's basement wearing a long, low cut revealing dress)
(under his breath staring) Hubba-Hubba! Dinner at the White House?
A date actually!
(flirting) Must be an important guy for you to get all decked out!
(flirting back) I'd prefer if you told me you liked my dress!
(visibly jealous) I haven't decided yet!
Boss, do you really not know what coitus interruptus means?
Better question, do you know what it means if you haven't located Stewart? (McGee runs off in fear)
(leaning against the wall) My father used to say (speaks in Hebrew) אש קטנה שורפת הרבה תירס
Translate.
(walks up to an unsuspecting Gibbs) "A little fire burns a great deal of corn"!
(not understanding the phrase she said) What?
It never really made sense to me either!
It loses something in translation...director.
What are you thinking about?
Paris.
Get your mind out of the bedroom, Jethro.
You're still here?
No. I'm the Director's doppelganger!
I never did know what that meant! (to a girl who has rode in the elevator with them) Goodnight!
(scared) Goodnight!
So a doppelganger is someone who's pissed?
Yes Agent Gibbs this one definitely is!
Why?
Why? Because you countermanded me in front of Metro Police!
I didn't countermand you! You overruled me!
Oh...Semantics!
(as she walks out) Is that like "doppelganger"?
(from down the hall) Get a dictionary!
With all due respect, Director Shepard, I think we all know what happened here. Nobody else saw another vehicle in the alley. A nervous rookie panicked. Fired prematurely. Killed a veteran cop.
McGee's young, but he's a damn good agent. Are you sure your partner wasn't carrying a weapon last night?
It would have blown his cover on the case that we were working.
You said he was off duty just like you are right now.
Yeah.
You're carrying.... in the small of your back. Your partner's liver said he drank a lot.
Oh, go to hell.
Gentlemen...
I'm not going to stand for a cover-up.
And neither am I, Captain! I shared our preliminary report and you'll have full access to our findings.
I'm going to conduct my own investigation.
That is your prerogative.
And I want to interrogate McGee.
That's not going to happen!
I'll handle this, Special Agent Gibbs.
McGee has made his statement. That's not going to change.
Thank you for coming. You'll have NCIS's full cooperation.
Do I get to question Agent McGee?
Yes. But not today.
[on the phone to Gibbs] Gibbs, where are you?
[opening Director's office door behind Jen] Right behind you.
I really hate it when you do that. [she hangs up]
Okay, you want me to help fix this? Then get me that reporter's number.
You're going to apologize?
No, ask her to dinner.
[To Tony, after she gave Ziva information on the case] Something wrong?
Oh, just wondering if Gibbs knows who Ziva's secret contact is.
We had a saying in Europe: "Whatever Gibbs doesn't know..."
"...can't hurt him".
No. "Can't hurt us".
[Looking through two-way mirror at Sean Oliver sitting in the interrogation room] Do you think it would be inappropriate if, as director, I went in there and smacked that smile off her face?
Yeah, it would, but that's what you have me for.
