[at a crime scene]
Where's Ducky?
Uh... that is an interesting question. The answer, uh... what was the question again?
You're perfectly aware that Gibbs is capable of eating you, right?
It's a recurring nightmare, yes.

ACAngus Clarke
Look, Donny, I'll help you fight this, of course I will, but that's the least of your problems. I like Joseph, but you've always been more of a father to that boy than he ever has. Even if we win this, he'll never be able to raise Nicholas himself.
I know. Which is why I'm gonna do it.
ACAngus Clarke
And be a doctor in the Royal Army Medical Corps?
I'm resigning my commission.
ACAngus Clarke
Resign? Are you off your trolley? You've wanted this your entire life!
Nicholas is my life. This, quite simply, is not a decision that requires one second of thought.
You're lurking.
I'm gathering data.
Ah, Bishop.
Yeah, she just got back from Oklahoma. Visiting the fam. Trying to figure out whether Jake's still in the picture or not.
McGee: Right.
Still wearing her wedding ring.
Seems in good spirits.
She dumped Jake.
They're still married.
What?
What? This Opposite Day or something?
No, every day is Opposite Day when it comes to a woman. Especially a woman scorned.
And Jake did some serious scorning.
He's a dead man. Bishop's the last person you'd expect to slit someone's throat in their sleep.
Which would make her the first.
Tony; Now you're catching on.
You know I can hear every word you're saying.
Tony: That's impossible. I'm whispering.
It's the skylight. The angle causes an acoustic reflection from the stairs to my desk.
Really?
Mm-hmm, just like Nancy at the Far East desk can hear everything I say.
Nancy, can you hear me?
[Nancy waves to them]
Hey, Nancy.
Wow. I've been here 15 years, I... That's how he does it.
How who does what?
Gibbs. That's how he knows everything we're saying. There must be a sweet spot in this room. A little acoustic......where he can hear every single thing we say. I bet you he comes in here early and he waits, bides his time, like a howler monkey in heat waiting for exactly the right moment to...
Step in and finish your sentence?
Exactly. Thank you, boss.
Howler monkey?
Well, yeah. You know, primates are fascinating. I've been watching a lot of Discovery Channel.
