Tony and Gibbs in “Dead Reflection”

Tony

I've always thought that the head slaps were sign of affection. Today in the squad room I was expecting one and I didn't get it. Are you pissed at me?

Gibbs

Rule number twelve.

Tony

Never date a co-worker. [laughs] Yeah, I know. She's pretty great, though. E.J. and I have a lot in common. She's easy to be with. It's nice having someone to talk to. NCIS doesn't have any policy against it. I mean, there are married agents, and technically E.J. and I don't work together. We're on separate teams.

Gibbs

My team. My rules. [ignores phone call from Abby] Sleeping with Barrett is a bad idea.

Tony

No offense, but my personal life is my business.

Gibbs

It's going to effect your work.

Tony

No, it won't.

Gibbs

It already has.

Tony

I know what you're thinking: that I've lost focus, that I've taken my eye off the ball.

Gibbs

I depend on you.
