DiNozzo Sr quotes from NCIS

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.

Dinozzo Sr.

Is that Ziva?

Tony

[frustrated] Yeah.

Dinozzo Sr.

Junior, get my bag. Oh wow, Ziva, look at you! What do you say, sweetheart?

Ziva

Hi!

Tony

Watch the hands!

Dinozzo Sr.

I'm so happy to see you!

Tony

Let's go!

DiNozzo Sr.

Are you here to brief me on tonight's op?

Tony

Hm...? [watches Sr. drop an olive into his glass] Oh, no. You think you're James Bond, don't you? Dad, there is no "op!" Your job is to get Ziva into the party, so she can plant the bug. That's it. Then you stay out of her way! Get it?

DiNozzo Sr.

Got it.

Tony

Good!

DiNozzo Sr.

We're DiNozzos. We don't communicate well.

Tony

We used to, you know. Long time ago. Sometimes I wish we could rewind to the last time we had a normal father-son relationship.

DiNozzo Sr.

When was that?

Tony

It was a fishing trip. It was just before Mom died. You probably don't remember...

Tony

[thinking Sr. wants to pay him back] Dad, it's okay, I mean...

DiNozzo Sr.

I look at that picture every morning. It's one of my fondest memories, too. Okay, from now on, we talk, hmm? Let's get out of here before we both start bawling.

Gibbs

What's on your mind?

DiNozzo Sr

Junior and I have hit another rough patch.

Gibbs

[chuckles] Ya think?

DiNozzo Sr

You've been more of a father to him than I have in the last twelve years. He respects you.
