How long to find the acid and check out the rest of the chutes?
Well, I'm flying solo, so at least a day.
Go faster if you had an assistant?
Definitely.
Okay, you got the job.
I get to do forensics?
No, you get to schlep for Abby. She gets to do forensics.
Why didn't you take this fast to me, Abby?
You're like a piercing, Tony, it takes awhile for the throbbing to stop and for the skin to grow back.
Well, that's more than I wanted to know.
Sulfuric Acid. That'd chew the shine off a trailer hitch.
How'd you get into this?
I filled out an application.
[Later]
How'd you get into NCIS?
I smiled.
What's your chute number?
Four.
Four's unlucky in China.
We're not in China.
Why you jumping with us, Sir?
Always wanted to jump. Gibbs came along to laugh.
We're going with you boys. NCIS training mission.
Now why don't I believe that? Hell, why not! Hate to pass up an opportunity to toss a couple of NCIS agents out of a plane.
Come on, lets get you boots, you can't do field work in heels.
Depends what kind of field work!
DiNozzo, your mind goes from X to XXX.
Yeh...
Wow! In that outfit, you could be NCIS cover girl.
Sulfuric acid. That'd chew the shine off a trailer hitch.
How'd you get into this stuff?
Filled out an application.
I mean...forensics.
Oh, uh, when I was kid we used to live by this lot where hey brought all the burned out hulks from the gnarliest car wrecks. I used to sneak in at night and take pictures. It wasn't about the gore. It was about figuring out how things happened. You know, like action, reaction, the science of the whole thing. I got hooked. How about you?
Actually, I wanted to be a lawyer. I did a...a year in law school. It felt like ten years in prison.
With really boring inmates? (Kate laughs)
Admit it. You just like strapping on a gun.
More than one.
Really? You packing more heat than meets the eye?
Those your only tattoos?
You show me yours, I'll show you mine. (Kate chuckles)
My dad gave me a power sander for my birthday. I don't really power-sand much.You're welcome to it.
Besides that bare bulb and that plug going to that idiot box do you see a power cord anywhere around here?
You use hand tools, huh?
I use my hands.
Jumping's gotta be so cool.
Hey. You wanna play paratrooper? Pay $180 dollars and take your class like all those other weekend warriors.
Yeah, I have so many weekends free.
Why are you jumping with us, Sir?
I always wanted to jump. Agent Gibbs came along to laugh.
Hard to believe Dave killed Thumper over a lousy two week suspension, Sir.
Yeah.
Thumper rode him, Sir, but no more than the rest of us. It just doesn't make sense.
Oh no!
What? Chickening out?
Thirteen. It's my first jump and my reserve number is number Thirteen.
Wouldn't have bothered Thumper, would it, guys? (Brinkman and Dafelmair look at each other)
Either of you superstitious?
No, Sir.
Great. Why don't you swap with Corporal Brinkman?
What's your reserve chute number?
Four.
Four? No, four's unlucky in China.
We're not in China.
I don't care. What's your number?
Eight.
Great. Eight's lucky in China.
There a problem?
No, Sir.
Look who I found. MPs weren't gonna let her pass.
I've got my SIG and badge, but HQ didn't issue my photo ID. Oh my, God. Is this for real?
Unfortunately, my dear, it is.
(Hands Kate gloves) Put 'em on.
Huh, your first crime scene with us, Caitlin.
What about Air Force One?
Doesn't count, you were in the Secret Service. Hey, Tony, take a team photo for posterity.
Forget posterity. The sun's gonna be up soon. Welcome to NCIS. [hands Kate a pair of boots]
How did you know my size?
Put 'em on. You can't work a field in high heels. [smiles]
Depends on the kind of work you're doing.
Your mind, DiNozzo, runs the gamut from "X" to triple "X".
Yeah?
Thanks, DiNozzo.
Hey, you could be the NCIS poster girl in that outfit.
