[notices Ziva pacing] McGee, what's Ziva doing?
Memorizing her speech.
Speech?
Director Vance volunteered her to speak at a high school career day.
In what language, Vulcan?
I can hear you, Tony. I do not need you making this worse. Back up.
I think you mean back off.
Why are you so uptight, Ziva?
Public speaking is not my thing. It makes me nervous.
Nervous? What are you talking about? I've seen you take down armed terrorists without breaking a sweat.
I'm trained for that.
You know, I envy you Gibbs. You don't have to put up with the politics. When I get the boot or drop dead in this chair, don't take the job.
[chuckles] I hear ya. Loud and clear.
Can I ask you guys a question? How do I get on Gibbs' good side? I would kill to be on his team.
Well, Tim would know.
Gibbs likes agents who are one step ahead, who anticipates what he wants one step ahead.
Thanks McGee.
[waves and smiles] Bye Dorney!
[grumbles to herself] Why did I say yes...
To what?
Career Day at Montgomery Prep. I'm still a little nervous and unsure of what to say.
Montgomery Prep is all-boys. You'll be standing in front of pubescent males with raging hormones. Wear something tight, they won't hear a word you say. [Ziva looks at Tony with dread]
I don't like Bayar's line of work but I'll tell ya, he's got great taste in women. She is smokin'!
Obviously a professional woman, Tony. You think the Aston Martin was expensive, a month of your salary might buy you an hour of her time.
[grins widely] Au contraire, mon Ziva.
Dorneget! [Dorneget turns and looks at him in shock, Gibbs motions him over] Come here. Gear up. You're going with McGee.
Gear up? [Gibbs looks at him] For a field assignment?
I think you're ready.
But I need to be back at the evidence locker.
I'll handle it.
[Dorneget turns around to conceal his excitement but runs straight into Director Vance]
You all right, Dorneget?
Yes sir. [run to the elevator]
[flashes badge and ID] Special Agent Timothy McGee, NCIS.
[flashes badge and ID] Special Agent Ned Dorneget.
[The TSA officer in charge looks strangely at Dorneget, who realizes his ID is upside down]
You two are NCIS agents?
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
[in disbelief] You kidding me? I applied to NCIS twice, got shot down both times.
