TV show quotes
Would you tell Tobias that I never meant to hurt him?
Oh yeah. He knows. I think.
I really liked him, but I never should have married him. I didn't love him. Just like you never loved me.
I liked you. I still do.
But the only woman you'll ever love is Shannon. You were my Shannon, Leroy. [walks away]
I'm not sure how to say this...
I do. Look, we are not your personal buddy-cop investigative service.
No, you're just my ex-husbands. And I need your help.
[Gibbs, Fornell and Diane are in the NCIS headquarters conference room]
Victor and I have a good relationship.
[Gibbs quietly smirks to himself]
He knows how to treat a woman. [Fornell looks at Gibbs] He's not afraid to show emotion like some people.
[sarcastically to Gibbs] She talking about us?
He's not some immature child that relates better to guns than to people...
[hands up] Okay, okay. We get it.
[...]
[Gibbs pauses the conversation and swings open the door to reveal a stunned Tony, Ziva and McGee eavesdropping]
Mrs. Sterling, I'm Director Vance. Rest assured my agents are doing everything possible to find your husband.
Thank you. Just make sure they keep me informed, too. [indicating McGee] Wasn't any fun trying to pry information out of Macaulay Culkin here.
[Gibbs and Fornell are interrogating Victor Sterling when Diane barges in]
[relieved] Diane, I am so glad to see you!
[angrily] You get the hell away from me! $2 million and I've been worrying about how to pay the mortgage?!
[Victor looks to Gibbs and Fornell for help]
You're on your own.
When you have a lot of money, it's hard to tell who your friends are. And with women, it's even harder. So I took the cash, and I invested it, and I forgot about it. It's our nest egg, baby. I was gonna surprise you when I retired.
So basically you couldn't believe that I would love you if you were rich? You didn't trust me but you married me anyway?! I am going to make your life a living hell!
[Gibbs and Fornell trade a smirk.]
Diane... I'm okay, baby. I'm safe now.
[Diane melts and throws her arms around him, sobbing.]
I was so scared...
It's okay, it's okay. I love you so much...
[Gibbs and Fornell trade a severely confused look.]
[dream sequence]
[rolls over in bed to hug Shannon] Looks like morning happened again.
What's the plan today?
I'm thinking of going to the hardware store.
Have they invented a tool you don't have in that basement of yours?
[smiles] I need supplies.
[laughs] That's what I like to hear. I love it when you start something new. What do you have in mind?
I'll let the wood tell me.
I hope the wood says rolltop desk. [moves to get out of bed]
[pulls her back] I changed my mind. I'll stay in bed all day with you. The hardware store will be there tomorrow.
How are you going to get what you need if you don't let me go?
[Gibbs wakes up on the couch to an empty home]
Something's on your mind. I can see your wheels churning.
Butter churns, David. Wheels turn.
The witnesses on the ground are telling the same story. There was an explosion and the plane began an immediate descent. [notices Tony's seriousness] What's with him?
He's thinking.
This isn't the case du jour, you know. This is life calling collect saying, "Hey, I'm short. Appreciate me."
Perhaps it's time we took a little rest.
We will rest when we are dead. Until then, consider John Paul Jones.
The Led Zeppelin bassist?
No, the naval hero of the American Revolution. He was almost forgotten when he was buried in Paris is 1792. Over a century later President Theodore Roosevelt went to great lengths to locate Jones, exhume his body, and bring him back to America.
Home.
Precisely. We take great solace in knowing where our heroes are buried.
There. Isolate the background.
What is that, Farsi?
It's Pashtu.
Number nine on the David language list? Our very own beauty of Berlitz?
I think of Pashtu as more of number seven, actually.
I hate libraries.
Another one of your fears?
Don't mock me.
What's to hate about libraries?
The smell gets me every time.
Yeah? What does a library smell like?
Lonely, smart people. [laughs]
People died because of that teacher, marines. What do you think should happen to her?
Sir, that's not my decision.
Yeah, but you've thought about it, right?
She should be held accountable for her crimes.
Oh.
She should watch those girls change the world in positive ways she never imagined.
That a punishment?
That's a gift, Sir. Punishment is knowing she could have done the same.
How did it go with my father last night? Where is he?
Autopsy.
[deadpan] You shot him. I can't say I blame you.
Hey, Abs. Gibbs sent me down to find out what you found out.
What are you talking about?
You know, that thing you're working on for him.
Tony, I'm not telling you anything about your father's case. My lips are sealed.
[scoffs] Come on, I'm just doing -- [Abby steps in his way] -- I'm desperate, Abby.
I'm sorry. [hugs Tony]] Now leave and consider yourself banished.
[attempts to step around Abby, fails, and picks up a test tube] What's this?
Your father's urine.
I'm going.
Listen, I just need two minutes with my dad, okay?
[through a mouthful of cake] Uh-uh, no way! Special Agent Gibbs told me not to let anyone in, especially you. You didn't think you could buy me off with a piece of cake, did you?
No! Gibbs will never find out, how's he gonna find out?
I'd have to tell him.
Well, then I guess I'd have to tell him about your little antics at the Halloween party last month with Susan Grady from Polygraph, down in the copy room, huh? She was dressed as a nun, and you were dressed as... Leroy Jethro Gibbs, with the little silver wig.
Nobody knew about that.
I know. De Niro, DiNozzo. "I'm watching."
