Long distance can be hard. Telefriend from Tel Aviv?
You're jealous.
I'm not jealous.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not. I'm not arguing, boss.
Argue!
Am not!
S6 E22Legend: Part 1
He got a name?
Who?
The star of David.
Oh, him. Yes, he has a name.
Trevor? Bruce? Marmaduke?
Michael.
Hm. He sounded more like a Bruce than a Michael on the phone.
Okay, grab your toothbrush.
Road trip?
Los Angeles.
Cali-for-ni-ay. What time do we leave?
Not we. [Points to McGee]
McGee? Not me? McGoo? You?!
Are you going somewhere?
Yeah. That's what I came down here to tell you. Los Angeles.
Into the lionesses den?!
[Kisses her cheek] I'm taking McGee.
Gibbs. It's just last time you guys went to L.A. one of you didn't come back.
I'll bring him home, Abs. [Walks away]
Just make sure you bring yourself back, too.
Get any more hits on our secret thing?
Do you know how busy I've been?
I know how busy you've been.
Okay, just asking. We got one hit, but it is a doozy. Guy on the right, Michael Rivkin, our supposed Israeli banker. Guy on the left, director of Mossad, Eli David. Also known as --
Ziva's father.
She must know Rivkin.
You don't ask her. You don't breathe a word of this, Abby. [Deletes file]
Tony.
I mean it.
S6 E23Legend: Part 2
[Speaking of Abby] Ignore her, probie, she's suffering Gibbs withdrawal. Transferring it onto you because of a deep seated fear that Gibbs may withhold love and give her a first time head slap if he came back and saw his desk festooned in balloons and decorated like some tacky Tiki bar with messages of affection written possibly in blood. She ain't missin' you at all!
Are we fighting?
If we were you would be on the floor bleeding.
Okay, I accept that as a likely outcome.
I have a problem with your boyfriend killing our two prime suspects.
Really? In my country that would be cause for celebration!
Well, you aren't in your country and neither is he!
He's already killed two suspects.
Well, in my country that would be cause for celebration!
You're not in your country and neither is he!
S6 E24Semper Fidelis
Here come the clowns.
The FBI does have jurisdiction in the death of a federal agent.
Yeah, well I like our chances with Gibbs in there waving a chair around like Gunther Gable Williams. Lion tamer. He's my second favorite hero after Steve McQueen.
Sure, because riding a motorcycle looks cool and all, but --
But nobody messes with a man riding an elephant.
He did not get out this way.
FYFoster-Yates
Unless could cross a lawn without bending a blade of grass.
Not impossible with the proper training.
She can also do that trick where you put your ear to a rail and you can hear a train coming.
FYFoster-Yates
You get the same training?
Me? No. But I can eat a bucket of chicken in one sitting, and I have x-ray vision.
FYFoster-Yates
So you and Ziva don't always agree on everything?
No, not everything. Healthy debates breeds, uh, creative solutions. Isn't that right, Ziva? [looks around them, puzzled] Where'd she go?
[from investigating up in a tree, gestures how intruders got past] A few branches are missing up here. They go in, he goes up, then out [points] that gate. [her cell phone rings, she smiles down at them] Oh, it's McGee.
Hey. Gibbs wants you guys to come back.
I'm up a tree.
Well, this might only confuse you further.
Well, who said I was confused?
You said you were up a tree.
I am!
Why is he calling you and not me? I'm the senior field agent.
I don't know why he's not calling you, Tony. [McGee, on phone, says 'I did call.'] He's not making any sense.
And you're the one not making sense.
He said he called you.
[looks at his cell] I'm not getting any signal. How come you're getting a signal and I'm not?
Because I'm up a tree.
Oh.
Ohhh. We often solve cases like this.
Goodnight.
Night. [watches Ziva leave]
Rule number eleven, DiNozzo.
I would never date a co-worker, boss. Trust me. I mean, why would you even -- [Gibbs smiles slightly] -- that's twelve. Eleven: when the job is done, walk away.
[...]
So, what's on your mind?
Rivkin's been in town.
I know.
With Ziva?
The guy doesn't listen.
Does that bother you on a professional level or a personal one?
I'll tell you what. I'm having a little trouble untangling the two.
So you are bothered.
Oh yeah.
S6 E25Aliyah
[about Tony] I am going to see him again, right, Leon?
He will not be harmed. Only two people have the authority to do that.
Your father's one. The other?
Me.
I had no choice.
That's a lie.
Why would I lie to you, Ziva?
To save your worthless ass.
From who, Vance? Mossad?
You jeopardized your entire career and for what?
For you. He was playing you Ziva.
And for some reason you felt it was your job to protect me?
I did what I had to do.
You killed him!
If I hadn't you'd be having this conversation with him. But maybe that's the way you'd prefer it?
Perhaps I would.
Okay, why don't you just get this out -- you want to take a punch, take a swing. Get it out of your system! Go ahead, do it!!
Be careful Tony, because much like Michael, I only need one.
And that's what you're really angry about isn't it? That's what's bothering you. It's not that he's dead, it's that your Mossad boyfriend got his ass kicked by a chump like me.
You took advantage of him.
He attacked me, what was I supposed to do? [Ziva knocks Tony down]
You saw a glass table, you pushed him back. You dropped him on it. He was impaled in the side by a shard of glass. Bloody. Gasping for air.
I see you read my report.
I memorized it! You could have left it at that. You could have walked away, but no, you let him up. You put a bullet in his chest.
You weren't there.
You could have put one in his leg.
You-weren't-there.
But I should have been.
You loved him?
I guess I'll never know. [walks away leaving Tony on the ground]
EEli
My daughter speaks very highly of you.
She's a good agent.
EEli
Liaison Officer
She's one of us.
EEli
So she tells me.
(referring to Tony who's in interrogation) So's the guy in there.
