I'm sorry, but the correct answer is Full Metal Jacket.
That is not the best Marine movie. A Few Good Men is.
Based on the fact that I am right, I'm overruling you.

I'm sorry, but the correct answer is Full Metal Jacket.
That is not the best Marine movie. A Few Good Men is.
Based on the fact that I am right, I'm overruling you.
[McGee and Ziva are debating who should be the one to plant a bug in a mosque]
I'll flip you for it.
If I flip you, you will get hurt.
[whispers] You can take her, McGee.
[watching Langer leave] What an ass.
[looking down admiringly] Yes, indeed.
You're Langer-leering. You're leering at Langer.
Why not? He's cute.
He -- he's not cute, he's --
[puts her finger over Tony's mouth] Shh. Don't speak.
[impressed] Bullets Over Broadway. Woody Allen.
Very good, Tony. You get a B in my class.
I could teach your class.
I spent my summers in Haifa.
[Picks up the tea she has offered him] You make it Arab-style, huh? Strong.
I like it strong.
You like Muslims.
Yes.
May I ask why? I don't mean to offend, I'm simply curious.
Growing up in Israel I had a friend who was Muslim. We were very close.
Are you still close?
He was killed. When I was twelve.
There's been too much death.
I agree.
[Tony, digging through Ziva's desk, has just discovered a "Movies for Dummies" book]
Ah-ha!
[snatches it out of his hand] I have killed for less.
You cheated!
I did not.
This is a book about movies. I bet you didn't even see those movies. You just read this book.
I like books.
I like movies.
Do not quote books, I will not quote movies.
What if it's a book that's been turned into a movie?
Tony! Your power of observation is unearthly. Now leave me alone!
[...]
[Tony finds out Ziva is taking a Film Studies course]
I'm taking it because it is the best way to pick up American colloquialism, like "Bug off!"
[McGee and Ziva are debating who should be the one to plant a bug in a mosque]
Alright, then we’ll flip for it.
If I flip you, you will get hurt.
[whispers] You can take her, Probie.
Have I come at a bad time?
Jethro! [he and Gibbs hug while Jenny stares at them] How are you?
How'd they let you in here, newbie?
Ah man, it's been a long time.
You two know each other. How nice.
Taught him everything he's forgotten.
I thought you retired.
I tried.
Ah, well, you look good, old man. Hey, listen sorry about our inconvenient convergence here.
What?
[Jenny stares at him] Gibbs used to fine me for every $3 word I used.
How much?
$3 a word.
You owe me six.
See? [hands some dollar bills to Gibbs]
Marines?
No, actually I started here. Gibbs took me under his wing and then proceeded to crush me.
[smiles] Nothing you didn't deserve.
Left me with no choice but to crawl over to the FBI.
Yeah! And they actually hired you!
Yeah, can you believe that?
Get him.
Got him.
Good.
[Tony, digging through Ziva’s desk, has just discovered a "Movies for Morons" book]
Ah-ha!
[snatches it out of his hand] I have killed for less.
You cheated.
I did not.
Yes you did! That is a book about movies! I bet you never saw all those movies. You just read the book.
I like books.
I like movies.
Do not quote books, I will not quote movies.
What if it’s a book that’s been made into a movie?
