TV show quotes
[looking at Cobb sitting in interrogation] This isn't right. It's too easy.
He knows where Ziva is. There's nothing easy about it.
Cobb's playing us.
Playing Leroy Jethro Gibbs? The guy must have a death wish.
What does he want?
Rule 16: If someone thinks they have the upper hand, break it.
'Cause he's no longer about method or clue-trail gamemenship, Mr. Palmer. It's about hurting those responsible for putting him in this situation.
Situation?
Operation: Frankenstein.
Good morning, Mr. Secretary.
Like hell it is, Leon. This better be damn important!
Agent's dead. Another critical. I don't know how much more important it can get.
[Gibbs reads a letter from Franks] Too many years of lighting up finally caught up with me, probie.For 3 decades, I outran every bullet aimed at me. Can't out run this - not with this lungs. Only got a few months left to go. And I plan to live 'em.
Never one to dissapoint. Were you, Mike?
Director Vance, I'm authorizing Agent DiNozzo access to sensitive compartmental information commensurate with a black op. None of your other team members need to know, is that clear?
Actually Clay, I'm a little concerned.
So an agent is selling top secret information. And they'll need to be dealt with appropriately.
Mr. Secretary, I'd like to discuss this first.
There's nothing else to talk about... If you are uncomfortable with this, Agent DiNozzo and I can do it without you. [Sec Nav hands DiNozzo a file] Take a look. That's who you're handling. Do whatever it takes. Any questions?
I do not know what you are investigating, and I do not need to know, but ever since we lost Levin and Franks and EJ left, NCIS has been through a lot. We have been through a lot. We need some time.
We. As you in you and me?
That's not what I meant.
Well what did you mean then, Ziva?
All I'm saying is, look out for yourself. Please.
[watching footage of Tony in the bullpen] Okay, he starts to turn the picture over. There!
Go two frames back. See, that looks like a woman to me.
No, it doesn't. It looks like a hairy pirate with a mustache!
You mean Tony's assignment is to kill Johnny Depp?
I like Johnny Depp.
This isn't working.
It is too grainy. I cannot see anything.
I don't feel comfortable doing this.
I know. We're spying. On family.
Well, sometimes we must cross boundaries to protect those we care about.
Well, hypothetically, what if Ray was Tony's target?
Okay, though I am confident it is not Ray, we should prepare ourselves for the unexpected.
I hope it isn't anyone we know.
Mr. Palmer, what do you suppose the SecNav is saying to him? [referring to Director Vance]
Well, if I were him I'd be asking how to get blood out of a $200 white dress shirt. See, it's all about oxygenating the stain. My mother used to use club soda, but my uncle preferred Perrier with a dash of -- the incision. They're probably talking about the incision.
Why do you think you keep getting involved with dysfunctional women?
[angrily] What?
Well, the women you date are messed up.
I date all kinds of women!
You know, I think you're drawn to them because you want to help them.
I am drawn to them because usually they're pretty hot!
Tony. Admit it. You like hot girls who carry guns.
Who doesn't like hot girls who carry guns?!
How old do you guys think I am?
Physically or mentally?
[sifting the entire contents of a street sweeping truck that swept up their evidence]
Next time why don't you just shoot the driver?
Next time I will!
[referring to the ringing phone] That's the third time in an hour.
I know. I am so sorry. It will not happen again, I promise.
There's plenty of time to turn off each other's calls once you're married, Mr. Palmer. I'd advise you not to start before you've even exchanged wedding vows.
How did you know it was Breena?
You're a man in love. I've been there many times myself. Though not much lately.
It's just all this wedding planning stuff has us on edge. She's having a hard time making decisions. I'm just trying to help, and everything I say seems wrong. What should I do?
[walks in] Just give her what she wants.
I have no idea what that is.
Welcome to the rest of your life Jim-boy.
Agent Gibbs, I always knew my grandson would introduce us, but I could never have imagined it would be like this. You failed to tell me that he is so handsome, Timothy. Great eyes.
Go home, McGee. You can't be professional. Go home.
Boss, I won't let you treat her like that, she's my grandmother.
She's also the lead witness in a murder investigation. What do you want me to do? Needlepoint my questions?
Penny had nothing to do with Lieutenant Booth's death.
I never said that!
What are you going to do? Break her down until she cracks?
Until I am done, Tim! I don't like this any more than you do, I know she's a family member.
Boss, she means everything to me.
I respect that. This is about murder, a guy is dead. Enough! We find what was in those papers. We find Booth's killer.
And she's the one that can tell us. She will talk to me.
[McGee walks back into the Interrogation Room; Gibbs smiles and then walks into the observation room]
McGee's old man is the legend, right? Called him the Great Santini
Wait a minute. He's a magician? I thought he was a Navy admiral?
The movie, Ziva. [Ziva rolls her eyes] The Great Santini starring the great Robert Duvall, who played the ruthless military pilot and brutal family man "Bull" Meechum.
Please don't...
[impersonating Duvall, who, as noted, plays Meechum in the movie] "There's those that has got 'em...and those that don't! [...] Gonads, Son! Big brass ones!"
And there it is. [Ziva smiles]
Kinda makes sense that you'd end up working for Gibbs, McMeechum.
There are similarities.
He's got big brass ones. They're like bowling balls.
That is disgusting.
Talking about tough love tactics, Tony. The veneer of impenetrability.
The skill of turning one word into a rallying cry.
[Gibbs walks in]
Gear up!
[to McGee] I guess that's two words isn't it.
Is something funny DiNozzo?!
No boss! Grabbing my gear!
