[Mrs Wayne has come to the NCIS headquarters, Director Jenny Shepard is with her at the elevator]
He said the paper mix-up could be resolved with my husband's teeth.
If Special Agent Gibbs told you that, I'm sure it's the truth. He's one of the most knowledgeable agents I've ever worked with.
I had that impression. I'm glad he was assigned this, even it is punishment.
[surprised] Punishment?
The new director has it in for him.
[Mrs Wayne and Jenny walk into the squad room]
He told you that?
Well, I've seen it before. When Parker was XO for one of the first female ship captains. Phew! The woman was a nightmare trying to prove herself.
[Jenny brings Mrs Wayne to team's office space where they meet Gibbs and the team in front of his desk]
Special Agent Gibbs. [glares at him] I didn't know the new director was punishing you. [Gibbs smiles discreetly] She always seemed very fair to me.
[Tony, Ziva and McGee look on in amusement]
Well, you're a woman. She doesn't have anything to prove to you.
[spots the team looking on from the side and walks over to Ziva] How about you? What do you think? Do you think the new director is reasonable?
[smiles] Very.
