NCIS Season 1 quotes

Tony

McGee said you wanted to see me. Actually, he said I was under house arrest, but I figured that was just your way of making a point.

Gibbs

Do I have to tell you the name of the creek you're up without a paddle? Or how deep it is?

Tony

Up to my knees?

Gibbs

I see you're familiar with this particular creek.

Tony

I'm sorry I took a long lunch, Boss, but I'm not working a hot case.

Gibbs

What's a hot case to you, DiNozzo? Shadowing a tight ass?

Tony

That's not fair, Boss.

Gibbs

War is not fair! And we are at war. Until I dismiss you, which could be any moment now, you will fight that war 24/7. That includes eating, sleeping, taking a crap. Got that?

Tony

Yes, Boss. Can I say something?

Gibbs

Only if it has something to do with that bastard I'm after!

Tony

It does.

Gibbs

Then speak!

Tony

Boss... You've really gotta see Moby Dick.

Tony

Well, what's wrong, other than the Hamas guy?

Gibbs

The Hamas guy! You know: the terrorist, the bastard, the ass! We call him everything but his name. You know why that is?

Tony

Because we don't know his name?

Gibbs

Because you're not working a hot case. I want his name! I want it today! And don't tell me it's Moby Dick!

Kate

[regarding the terrorist who shot Gerald and Gibbs] Why did he give you a shot at him?

Gibbs

He needs to face death to feel alive. Maybe, to feel anything.

Directors want your word that you'll forget about Ari. They think you'll blow his cover.

Gibbs

If I get pay back, it won't be by blowing his cover. Why are you asking me this and not my director?

He refused to.

Gibbs

[finally laughs] Yeah.

Abby

You should wake him!

McGee

What if he needs the rest?

Abby

He's not resting! His eyes are disco dancing under those lids!

McGee

They brought it back!

Abby

It's Gibbs so it never left!

Abby

Okay...make him older than mummy dust! (the image changes) Oh that's so cool! Now make him a young guy on his first date! (the image changes again) Hm...he wasn't a late bloomer like you McGee! (the image changes again) He's cute!

McGee

(frowning) You think?

Abby

(noticing his frown) Oh (walks towards him) Not cuter than you!

McGee

(as she puts her arm around his neck he smiles bashfully) Abs! (laughs) I'm trying to work!

Abby

(regretting it) Sorry!

McGee

(blushes) No I like it but uh...(admits his feelings) I can't concentrate!

Abby

Okay (walks backwards) What if watched (starts yelling) FROM ALL THE WAY OVER...(backs into Gibbs and jumps forward)

Abby

Would you be any less grumpy if you slept in a bed?

Gibbs

No!

Abby

I didn't think so!
