Come on, Corporal. Let a Gunny buy you dinner.
EYErnie Yost
You... you were never an officer?
Ah, hell no!
YYost
I knew there was something I liked about you.
“Call of Silence” · Season 2, Episode 7
In this episode: Leroy Jethro Gibbs (6), Yost (5), Kate Todd (2), Coleman (2), Tony DiNozzo (1), Timothy McGee (1), Abby Sciuto (1)
YYost
[to Tony] What do you know? You weren't even a gleam in your old man's eye!
YYost
It's not a water cooler, it's called a scuttlebutt. How long you been in the Corps?
Since I met Gibbs.
YYost
You conned me, Gunny.
Nah. Would I do that to you?
YYost
You're damn right you would. And I want to thank you for it. [to Yoshida] And you were never on Iwo Jima?
HYHiroshi Yoshida
Iwo Jima, no.
YYost
[wagging a finger at Gibbs] Ahhh...
YYoshida
Guadalcanal.
[takes Kate aside] Corporal Ernest Yost. Dig up his SRB.
Got a Social Security number?
They didn't use them for serial numbers when he served.
So how am I supposed to get his SRB without a serial number.
Well, Kate, you can ask him.
Gibbs, I doubt that he could remember his--
Corporal Yost!
YYost
Yo!
Serial number!
YYost
330090, sir!
Or you could just look him up under Medal of Honor recipients...
[Kate looks at Yost astounded, obviously seeing him in a new light.]
You don't win the Medal of Honor, Kate, you're awarded it for conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty.
This weapon is circa early 1940s.
Year or two before I joined the Corps. [smiles at Abby]
[Commander Faith Coleman is furious to find out that Yost is not in the NCIS building. Unknown to her, Gibbs had Tony secretly take Yost home.]
Please don't insult me by telling me he escaped.
The older they are, the sneakier they are!
Yost complained of a weak bladder. He had to use the restroom every ten minutes. We gave up escorting him and one time he just didn't come back.
Found a window open. He must've shimmied down that drain pipe.
[sarcastically] Ah, I'd liked to have seen that.
We think the weak bladder was a trick to get us to let down our guard.
We're sick about it, Commander.
Yes I can see that you all look absolutely devastated.
I put out an APB. Airports, train stations, taxi cabs...walker rentals...
Look at him, Commander, in agony over something he didn't do.
How do you know?
[looks at Cdr Coleman] Ever been in combat?
No.
The only one you depend on is the buddy next to you. He's closer to you than your brother. Why would you smash his head in?
God only knows.
Well, he had better tell me 'cause I don't understand and neither does Yost.
