Scenes with Quinn 6
[The team are discussing missing undercover NCIS Agent Nick Torres]
QQuinn
I'm not surprised he ended up in undercover. He was unattached, he was persuasive, he was clever, a bit unstable.
You just described a sociopath.
QQuinn
Yeah, but only the good kind.
Torres spent eight years doing nothing but undercover work. Why?
QQuinn
Different strokes. He probably views a desk job as a fate worse than death. Me? I get my kicks screaming at probies.
Yeah, but Torres is in deep. Who knows what sort of things he had to do to maintain his cover? And then when the mission ends, he still has to carry that with him.
QQuinn
So do you, and Gibbs and McGee. Every action we take has a consequence.
[After interviewing a celebrity on board the aircraft carrier]
You get more than fashion tips?
QQuinn
Yeah. Claustrophobia.
[sees Quinn looking around the front flowerbed] So you're what-- gardening?
QQuinn
Nope. There's always a spare key. And it's never under the mat anymore, but it is here. I call it front-stoop fishing.
(while McGee talks with Delilah on the phone, and Torres coaches him with hand signals; all whispering)
They've been sleeping on a grave!
QQuinn
Yeah, and not just sleeping, that part we got. But what happened to, "you can't be lying, bro"?
Well, this he can lie about.
No, it's not hypocrisy. This is different.
QQuinn
It's so not different.
Yes, it is different. He knew about a triple homicide before he moved in. This, he didn't know about.
QQuinn
And now that he knows, why shouldn't Delilah know?
(finally letting out how freaked he is) Hell, nobody should know! I wish I didn't know!
(emerges from the fitting room in his tuxedo) Yeah, baby! That's what I'm talking about! Please, no pictures... nah, go for it. (twirls)
Woof. (realizes) Was that out loud?
