Dorneget, take Mr. DiNozzo down to the break room, get him something to eat.
Yes, sir.
[deadpan]] If he gives you any trouble, shoot him.
[DiNozzo Sr looks at Gibbs in shock]
He's joking... I think.
S9 E10Sins of the Father
LSLCDR Stephanie Mosner
You guys obviously put the fear of God into Lt Dennis. [Gibbs looks surprised] His lawyer called last night. He wants to make a deal.
S9 E11Newborn King
I agreed to give her father a tour of NCIS while he's in town for the holidays.
Well that is nice.
Actually I thought Director Vance would nix the idea.
You and Breena's dad do not get along?
[sits on Gibbs' desk] The last time Ed and I talked was when I asked for his permission to marry Breena. He laughed. And he cried from laughing so hard. And he got really quiet.
So why is he coming here?
Breena wanted us to bond before the wedding. She thinks the main problem with me is my job.
Autopsy gremlin.
Yeah, if we could keep that kind of talk to a minimum while he's here...
I say it with the utmost respect.
I know that, but Ed doesn't. He actually thinks I'm stuck in some government job which pays too little and requires too many hours.
[walks in] You are. Get off my desk.
Abs?....Abby?
[Abby peeps from behind her file cabinets]
Thank goodness it's just you. Jimmy and his Grinch-in-law have been stalking the halls spreading ill will and yuletide yuckness.
[Gibbs and Ziva find a pregnant Lt Emma Reynolds in the fitting room armed with an iron clothing rod]
[flashes his badge] NCIS.
Yeah I've seen fake credentials before. Hand over your weapons.
There's only one way to get a Marine's weapon.
What'd you know about it? You a leatherneck?
Where do you think I got this haircut?
Listen everyone, I don't want any special treatment. I'm a Marine first and pregnant second.
Oorah.
Oo-right.
Well I will gladly take the special treatment. I like mine with extra marshmallows with a little tiny spoon please.
[annoyed] Who do you think I am? Your elf??
Actually, I'll take one with marshmallows too.
Thought you said you didn't want any special-- [Gibbs looks at him] Extra marshmallows, coming up!
The snow is falling faster than my holiday spirit. There's a pregnant Marine being hunted on Christmas. Heaven and nature are not singing.
[McGee finds Ed and Palmer locked up in Abby's ballistics room]
How long have they been back there?
[smiles] Not long enough.
EEd
I can't hear a word they're saying.
If you hadn't made that remark about her tattoos, we wouldn't be in time-out. [looks at his watch] I've got six minutes left.
[Tony and the suspect Veli Tupolev are in the interrogation room munching on Christmas cookies and staring at each other]
Ya know, Wendy used to make the most kick-ass snickerdoodle.
[Tupolev stares at him while eating a cookie]
I'm gonna start with a series of true or false statements.
TTupolev
[stares at Tony and McGee] What are you talking about?
Just think of it like lie detector test, with cookies. You just have to sit there and eat.
[as Tony and McGee leave]
Good luck.
EEd
[scoffs] Yeah, "good luck."
Why in the world would you say it like that?
EEd
Why? The weather, the road closures. They're never gonna make it.
[angry] How the hell would you know? They're trained agents.
EEd
Well...
You might not respect me or what it is we do here, but you have got to respect the fact that these people, my people, are risking their lives.
EEd
[embarrassed] Well, if you're gonna put it like that...
There's no other way to put it. Until you can figure that out, we're not going anywhere. Sit down and shut up!
[panting] Oh boy, the baby's coming!
Gibbs, we have company. What do you want to do?
[exhales] Defend our position.
[Reynolds is going into labor]
Are you asking for special treatment, Marine?
Sir, yes sir, just this once.
So I guess you have somewhere else to be.
Yeah? Well, so do you.
I went. Sat in the car for about twenty minutes debating. I didn't go in. Decided to swing by casa de Gibbs instead.
Well, we all make our own choices, DiNozzo.
You think I made a mistake?
I think you made it twice now.
When I joined NCIS I knew what you expected of me: everything. Doesn't exactly leave a lot of room for the Wendys of the world.
You come here to blame me, DiNozzo?
No boss.
Good.
Family and job. Two different cups.
That's right
And if I couldn't fill both, that was my problem.
Uh-huh.
What if I can now?
Then get out of my basement. Man up and move on.
Like you have?
Don't be like me. Learn from it.

You should cut yourself some slack, EJ. What's the saying? That which does not kills us makes us stronger. I think Nietzsche said that. The thing to remember about Friedrich Nietzsche, of course, is that he died in an insane asylum. That's probably not the best way to start a pep-talk, huh?
EEJ
So much for my big plans, huh? What about your plans, Ziva? Beyond NCIS. Family?
Maybe, someday. Though that day seems increasingly distant at the moment.
EEJ
[holds up her coffee in a toast] To someday.
Someday.
