You serve, Agent Gibbs?
Scout Sniper.
Then you know what it's like seeing your friends die and thinking you could've done more.
S10 E6Part I
Are you all right, Tony?
Can I show you something?
Yes. [Tony hands her old photographs] Is this your mother?
Yes.
Wow, she was beautiful.
Oh. I guess she was.
How come you never talk about her?
I don't?
No. No, you don't.
Hm. Well, I guess she was the first woman to break my heart, and I don't like to talk about things like that.
You don't like to talk about it because you don't want to, maybe it causes you too much pain. So she was the one who took you to the movies, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, we would go to these dollar matinees. We'd make these weekend trips to the city and there was this this theater that she loved over on 42nd Street. It was pretty run down, but she loved movies. I think she loved the escape. This is the last movie we ever saw together, right before she -- The Little Prince.
[smiles softly] "That which is essential is invisible to the eye."
Ziva David, did you just quote a movie?
No. I quoted a book that was made into a movie.
[smiles] Huh.
S10 E7Part II
Where is Captain Westcott, other than at the forefront of your mind?
He's headed home. Doc ok-ed me getting into the ambush and I pushed. Pushed too hard.
It's obvious that you feel a grave responsibility towards this young man.
Ducky, I sent home plenty of Marines like Westcott. I knew their heads weren't right. I hoped that there would be someone on the other side to catch them.
You had no choice. You had to stay behind. It was your duty.
I'm on the other side now. I tried to catch Westcott. I didn't, he wouldn't let me.
And when do you take no for an answer?
I'm angry, Ducky.
You can't fix the world, Jethro. But you can call the boy.
Can't believe the old bird just let you shut the place down so I could concentrate.
Amazing what happens when you don't give the bird a choice.
[laughs] You are a bad ass Agent Gibbs.
[Tony and Ziva are in the car on a stake out]
[cheerfully] Yup, well, I think the sun is virtually up so let me be the first to wish you Happy Thanksgiving. Gobble, gobble. [chuckles, Ziva looks to him in annoyance] How about the boss? Planning the big host this year. Turkey legs by the fire.
[irritated] Shut up! I'm sick of you sitting in this car being nice to me!
[smiles] My deepest apologies.
You're only being nice because you want me to tell you what you want to know.
Then tell me and I'll stop being nice.
There's nothing to tell.
[sigh] Fine. I'll make it up. [loudly] He's a veterinarian.
Stop raising your voice.
I can't be nice, I might as well be loud. Does it make you laugh?
[laughs sarcastically] You're such a child. And then you wonder why I cannot talk to you.
So he's a hilarious veterinarian who likes the opera.
Why do you care?! I thought we were past caring about these things.
Past them? Look, I don't care who the guy is. I just thought, we were, you know, telling each other things about things. The things that..you know, matter.
Tony, there is no funny veterinarian. There is no one, actually.
GGirl
Look, I didn't do nothing.
Lay off the double negatives. They confuse her. [looks at Ziva]
He means how you got Hall and brought him back to us.
PPatterson
[shocked] What? That wasn't me Captain. That was you.
[to himself] I didn't run away.
You didn't run. Forgive yourself for the rest.
I just wish it would've mattered.
PPatterson
[to Gibbs] "The General" never ran from anything. [to Westcott] It mattered. To us.
S10 E8Gone
[answers his phone] Yeah, Duck?
[British accent] Cheerio, Jethro. You'll be interested to know I've discovered something of rather vital importance.
Nice, Tony. Now put Ducky on.
[normal voice] Really? I thought that was kinda good.
[in Autopsy, Ducky head-slaps Tony]
Ow!
I do not say "cheerio"!
Got it.
[While Ziva is struggling with a suspect, Abby hits him with a...]
Frying pan. It's a little cliched.
[laughing] Works for me.
Tony DiNozzo, I would like you to meet my very good friend, Shmeil Pinkhas, Middle East historian, philosopher and poet.
SShmeil
Listen to her kvelling. But who can argue with a smile like that? DiNozzo... I think I met somebody of that name at a hotel bar in Geneva. An older version of you, quite dashing...
[squirming] Let me get this straight... you've met my father?
SShmeil
Nice kid. And such stories! Oh, many I cannot repeat in mixed company.
[Ziva laughs.]
SShmeil
But he had me laughing!
Well, if he stuck you with the check, then that's our guy.
S10 E9Devil's Trifecta
[Tony is interogating Diane, Vance enters]
Gibbs, the interrogation is over...
[He looks confused at seeing Tony, not Gibbs, there. Diane just points at the observation room, then herself, then back at the observation room.]
Right. Should have seen that one coming.
[coming to McGee's apartment to collect Diane, Gibbs finds them asleep on the couch, intertwined (albeit fully clothed)]
[entering after Gibbs] Hey Gibbs, what's taking so long? Come on, people! [claps his hands] Chop-chop! [sees] ...Holy Fourth of July Weenie Roast, WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT?!
I know a Customs Agent I can talk to, see if he'll issue a BOLO on similar shipments. That might shed some light. Tobias, go back to the FBI and do the same thing. Jethro, MTAC. See if there's any new intel on Syria, North Korea or Iran.
[Diane leaves.]
...Did she just give us orders?
Yeah. But they're good ones.
[annoyed] I know!
S10 E10You Better Watch Out
[about Tony's late mother]
Tony showed me a picture. She was beautiful.
ADAnthony DiNozzo, Sr.
Inside and out. She was the love of my life, Ziva. Somehow I've never been able to fill up that void... though Lord knows I've gotten into plenty of trouble trying.
[They laugh.]
[McGee is surprised to recognize the landfill foreman as an old classmate from M.I.T.]
Last I heard, you were teaching computational evolutionary biology.
SStewie
Was. Burned out, man. But I found my calling: trash! Crazy, right? Hey, you know you can learn more about mankind from what it throws away than you can in any classroom?
