NCIS quotes

Well, I brought Susan to the homeless shelter, like you suggested. If we can find out her last name, maybe we can access her medical records. They took her fingerprints, and I'm hoping that Abby can find a match.

Dad, that's very commendable, but you can't ask Abby to break agency rules for a personal favor...

Abby

We got a hit.

Tony DiNozzo

You ran the prints.

Abby

Of course I did, Tony. A poor, homeless woman in need of medical care? That's a no-brainer.

Every effort is being made to hunt him down, Agent Gibbs, believe me.

Tony

I'd believe you if you were still back in Israel, searching, instead of standing here telling us how sorry you are.

Actually, I am here for a much more important reason, something far more personal. [to one of her agents] Bring in Tali.

Wasn't that Ziva's sister?

Her namesake, yes.

Tony

Whose namesake?

You may have heard there was one survivor pulled from the farmhouse. Her room was in a corridor not destroyed by the fire.

Tali is Ziva's daughter... and your daughter, Tony.

Tony

I still think you could have gotten away with pretend tea, Dad. I don't think she would know the difference.

But I would know, Junior. [to Tali] What does Daddy know about making tea, anyway?

Tony

Please don't... please don't call me that.

Why not? Embrace it, son! This kid is a DiNozzo all the way!

[points to Ziva in the picture] Ima.

Tony

Yeah, that's right, Tali.

Ima!

What does that mean, "Ima"?

Tony

It's Hebrew. It means "mother", "mom".

Oh.

[points to Tony in the picture] Abba.

Tony

...Tali, what did you say?

[pointing] Ima, Abba.

Tony

Abba?

[smiles] "Daddy."

[looking around] Old friends and new... But not the one I expected.

Tony

I'm here.

[looks to his right] DiNozzo... I had no idea she'd be in the farmhouse. You know that.

Tony

Do I?

It was nothing personal, strictly business.

McGee

It is personal. It's Ziva!

Tony

She was my family.

I am in love with this new sofa. It's like being hugged by a microfiber cloud.

Gibbs

I wouldn't know. I haven't been able to sit in it yet.

[sarcastically claps] Gibbs, I came to offer my congratulations. Eight rejected agents in the last three months. That's a new record for you.

I'm not surprised he ended up in undercover. He was unattached, he was persuasive, he was clever, a bit unstable.

Ellie Bishop

You just described a sociopath.

Yeah, but only the good kind.

Bishop

That's not a thing...

Bishop

Torres spent eight years doing nothing but undercover work. Why?

Different strokes. He probably views a desk job as a fate worse than death. Me? I get my kicks screaming at probies.

Bishop

Yeah, but Torres is in deep. Who knows what sort of things he had to do to maintain his cover? And then when the mission ends, he still has to carry that with him.

So do you, and Gibbs and McGee. Every action we take has a consequence.

McGee

We gotta go. Talk to you on Monday.

Oh, you guys are late to spinning class or something?

Bishop

Uh, no, Gibbs is famous for coming in just before the weekend starts and saying––

Gibbs

[walks into the room] Grab your gear.

McGee

[hopefully] That a well-timed illustration, boss?

Gibbs

[ignores McGee] Got a death in Quantico.

The teenage years are fraught with peril. The frontal cortex is responsible for self-regulation. It develops gradually over adolescence. Unfortunately, in some adults, well, it never occurs.

Ducky

[talking over the body of Bruno, the suspect] In some ways, Bruno, I envy you. When I was a child, I often fancied living the life of a daring cat burglar. Fortunately for me, yeah, at age of nine, on my maiden voyage, I fell off our neighbor's roof, yeah. Landed on my coccyx. And that was the end of that.

[looking at the photos of the suspects] Who are these people? Living double lives like this?

I mean, yeah, I mean, I-I lived as someone else for most of the last decade, but I had an excuse. I was, uh, I was undercover. [indicates the photos] Which version is the real them?

Gibbs

Which version is the real you?

You're looking at it.

Gibbs

Am I? You created all those covers. It wasn't random.

[laughs] Wait, you're saying that a part of me wanted to be a, uh, mafia-tied, vegan juice-bar owner?

[thinks and shrugs] Eh...

Ducky

But why is Gibbs so doubtful it was a suicide?

Abby Sciuto

Well, Sergeant Hill was seeing a shrink, who hinted that there might be something else, but ethically couldn't divulge anything else to him.

Jimmy Palmer

He couldn't break her with his look? I'm intimidated by Gibbs.

Gibbs! Gibbs!

Ducky

Ah, you do talk!

Abby

[sheepishly] Yep, and a little bit too much sometimes, huh?

Gibbs

What are you doing, Tobias? I hid this file.

Not very well. I'm bored.

Gibbs

It's a classified government file.

I'm a classified government guy. Come on! Throw me a bone. Anything, will you? Let me help you. Can't watch another cooking show.
