TV show quotes
[Vance and Abby find Dorneget studying NCIS manuals at the desk in the evidence locker]
Why are you highlighting those old manuals?
I'm preparing for my GS-11 exam.
We haven't given that test in over twenty years.
I heard you were reinstating it.
From whom?
[realizes he's been pranked] Agent DiNozzo.
Dorneget, you're being probied.
Yeah but Ziva confirmed!
That's because he did the same thing to her and she studied for three months.
Anything new on the nanny front?
Not that I've heard. Vance's search enters its second week.
Which left his agents feeling like a gaggle of nuns waiting on white smoke from the Vatican chimney.
You boys have four seconds!
[He goes inside his house. McGee's eyes widen...]
Excuse me? Four seconds for what?
Tony, run!
[Hearing dogs barking, they bolt for their car.]
Zeus! Apollo!
So Lemere and I had words. Philosophical differences. He coddled that dog like it was his own kid. Me, I'm not the coddling type.
We've noticed.
[Ruby Lemere and Ziva are cuddling Dex.]
What a day. First my car wouldn't start, then I had to talk a bus driver into letting Dex ride with me.
No dogs allowed on city buses, huh?
Not without a vest calling him a service dog.
If they knew what kind of service Dex provides, he'd be allowed anywhere and everywhere.
Nah, something's not right here. Sniper would target the dog before he would the handler. Dog finds bombs, saves lives. You take out the dog, nobody gets saved.
[Camera shot reveals Dex sitting and looking intently at Gibbs]
[looks at Dex] Why am I telling you this?
[Tony and Ziva are watching a weather report on a squall of the Atlantic coast]
Where's McGee?
Maybe he blew away coming to work this morning.
Maybe he met someone last night.
That's doubtful. That would be the reason I would be late.
These days, my friend, I'm not so sure.
You've noticed.
Yes! I'm quite aware you've hit a...um... dry spell, recently.
Like Lawrence of Arabia.
So Agent Burley was Agent DiNozzo before Agent DiNozzo was Agent DiNozzo.
That is correct. One cannot help but be confused by the Downton Abbey complexity of government bureaucracy.
Telling you, it was more than that.
Tony, you're letting your imagination get the best of you. Stan [Burley] was not flirting with Ziva.
Hmm...I noticed it in Italy last year too. [pauses, to McGee] Does Burley look burlier to you?
Stan's a good guy. Besides, he knows that Ziva is vulnerable right now.
Ah ha! That's exactly what I'm talking about. You see, he could use that to his advantage, swoop right in like a hawk going in after a sweet, innocent, furry little Israeli.
[Tony subdues a suspect who attacked Agent Stan Burley]
Thanks. You're too good to me.
Consider it an engagement present.
College campuses, always bring back memories, good and bad. Kinda like fathers.
How long have you been sitting on that transition, Tony? Subtle...
Between Gibbs, Ziva and myself, there's no reason to beat around the bush when it comes to daddy drop-ins.
[sarcastically] Yeah, because those all went so well.
[At NCIS headquarters, Gibbs interrogates McGee's father, Admiral John McGee]
[points at the one-way window] Who's behind the glass? Who's watching?
You scared he's gonna see you break?
My relationship with my son is none of your damn business.
You make him think he's nothing. You're the one with nothing.
[glaring] You will respect this uniform.
Answer the question!
This uniform provided for him, for his mother, for this whole family!
Why lie? Why avoid the truth? Why avoid your son?
[resignedly] Alright. [he sits down] Because I'm sick. No one could know. Stage 4. I wasn't feeling well when we showed up for the exercises. I knew Haber was top notch, so I transferred to the Borealis. Haber gave me something for the pain... but he knew what was causing it.
He was gonna report it to NAVCENT.
Doctor-patient privilege is a little different when it comes to national security. So that meant the end of my career.
It's motive to keep the commander quiet.
Gibbs... I've been a lot of things. I've been a lousy father, I've been a son of a bitch. But I'm no murderer.
[Watching on the other side of the glass, McGee is visibly upset, tears running down his face]
[dancing with Tony in a Berlin bar, Ziva flashes back to being a young girl, dancing with her father in his bedroom]
How long will you be gone?
This time is different. I do not know when I will be back.
[Sad, she lays her head on his chest and closes her eyes.]
My Ziva... one day you will dance with a man who deserves your love.
I should have known Orli was here for Bodnar. I'm sure she wants him dead as badly as I do.
I doubt that. It's her job, but [Eli] was your father.
It's not just her job... Orli was the reason my parents split up. [Tony looks at her, surprised] I did not say anything because I did not think it mattered.
Did it?
She was a young officer, and my father was... weak. And then it just ended. And I always just told myself that that was another rule she broke in order to advance her career. But now I think she was here for the same reason I went to Berlin. Because maybe she loved my father. You know, I keep thinking if it was not for Orli, things would have been different. I would be a different person.
[takes her hand] Then I should catch her before she leaves. You know, to thank her.
I'm sorry if I hurt you in all of this, It was never intended. Tony, I care too much about our....friendship. I do not want it to be awkward between us.
Hey. [kisses her forehead] Nothing's awkward between friends.
