[Kate leaves the isolation chamber and bursts into tears.]
[hugging her] You were brave to stay with him, Kate.
[sobbing quietly] He's dying, Ducky.
[walks past them] Oh, the hell he is.
[Gibbs enters the isolation chamber without a mask.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who the hell are you?
His boss. The bug has a suicide gene. It's dead. It's been dead for over an hour. He's no longer infectious. (whispers to a very ill Tony) Tony, listen to me. Are you listening?
(weakly) I'm listening. I'm listening, Boss.
(whispers) You will not die, you got that? (beat) I said, you will not die.
(whispers) Okay, I got you, Boss.
(whispers) Good. (Gibbs hands Tony his phone.) It's your new cell. I'd get the number changed. Women keep calling for Spanky.
