[standing at McGee's desk] This is definitely unusual.
Unusual is the operative word.
[walks in out of the elevator] What are you two doing?
Don't play dumb, Tim. We're trained federal agents. We can see when something's up.
And something is definitely up.
What are you two talking about?
The two computer monitors on your desk have been swapped. No one just up and changes their viewing angle. Something is up, McAnal Probie.
My monitors? That's what you're worried about?
We're not big on change around here.
Well I thought I would try something a little different today.
What makes today so special?
We know that look, McGee. It is somewhere between melancholy and constipation.
No, I actually meant that his mind looked clogged .
[going through the trash] This can't be good. He cleaned out his desk, too.
[whispers loudly, having seen McGee approach] Albatross! Albatross! [moves quickly to the large monitor, as though working]
Petty Officer Janet McCaffrey had a spotless record.
Two deployments on two different ships: the Ontario and the Gentry.
[looking on suspiciously] So it's finally happened: you two are snooping together, as a team.
We are merely curious and concerned.
Well, it's nothing you need to know about.
Computer monitors, clandestine meetings in Vance's office; you're up to something, McDevious. I can tell. Wait a second! Are you finally getting that sex change operation? Good for you, McGee. Or is it McShe? No judgement! I'm proud of you.
Look, Director Vance offered me a job promotion, okay? As head of the cyber division in Okinawa.
Well everybody knows that, Tim. Good for you. It's fantastic. You've gotta take that opportunity. The last cyber agent? He's at Microsoft now.
Yeah, as head of security. The guy's a rockstar.
Let's not get carried away.
Why are you being so normal about all this? Your sincerity is disconcerting.
You prefer I attack you with some kind of sarcastic, hostile remark?
Sort of, yeah. What do I do?
It's your choice, but I'd trust my gut. It's what Gibbs would do.
Just think of all the cases, all of the lives you've touched, Gibbs. You sacrificed everything to help those people.
It doesn't work like that.
