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!
