S7 E11Ignition

The military experiments with jetpacks?

No... well, yeah, they did, but... [sighs] "After years of testing various designs, ultimately they decided helicopters were more practical for earth-atmosphere flight..."

"Although NASA's compressed gas-powered Man-Maneuvering Unit evolved from Bell Systems's rocket belt technology..."

"'Rocket belt' being the original terminology rather than the more colloquial 'jetpack... '"

McGee's very passionate about the subject. We spend a lot of time here, just the three of us.

I was telling him about the bonus features section on the "Thunderball" DVD, which were pretty interesting, and he says, "um, Tony, bonus features aren't science", and so he...

He schooled you.

Yep.

[autopsying a dead squirrel]

This reminds me of my junior year abroad. I was staying with a family outside of Lyons who spoke only French, and my French was... okay at best. Now, whatever you may think of the people of France, the squirrels are extraordinarily friendly. So I had to explain to them my fear of squirrels. You see, in D.C. there are brown squirrels and black squirrels, and at a time, black squirrels carried rabies. So my mother used to bait traps with peanut butter, capture the squirrels and release them on the other side of the river. But I confused the word écureuil, which means "squirrel," with the much-less accurate requin, which means, uh... "shark."

How they must have pictured your strange homeland with your shark-hunting mother.

S7 E12Flesh and Blood

I've heard the saying "he got blown out of his shoes", but I never thought I'd see it.

Now if the explosion had knocked his socks off, that would be impressive, wouldn't it?

I get it. It must have been tough. Your wife dies and you're left with an eight year old kid, but your solution, Dad, was to warehouse me in boarding schools and summer camps, and half the time I never knew where you were or what you were doing. I needed a closer relationship.

DSDiNozzo, Sr.

You forget, we took some great vacations together.

Like the trip to Maui where you left me in a hotel room for two days and I was twelve years old?!

Okay, so how many amendments to the Constitution?

The Bill of Rights is the first ten, prohibition is eighteen. I'm guessing twenty-three.

Twenty-seven!

Nobody likes a smartass, David.

Why do I have to study all this and you don't?!

I was born here!

It's not as bad as it looks. It's actually an ancient form of meditation, it's a good thing.

PSPrince Sayed

Agent Gibbs, have you had breakfast?

(takes Tony's hat) Party's over. (hits Tony on the head with the hat several times)

Ow, ow,ow,ow,ow!

Explain!

DSDiNozzo, Sr.

What's on your mind?

Your son.

DSDiNozzo, Sr.

What's junior done now?

Tony likes to hide behind the face of a clown, but he's the best young agent I've ever worked with.

DSDiNozzo, Sr.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

When was the last time you talked to him? I mean really talked to him.

DSDiNozzo, Sr.

We keep in touch.

Four years ago your son came very close to dying from pneumonic plague. I expected to see you. You didn't show then. Why are you here now?

DSDiNozzo, Sr.

He never told me he was sick.

Oh, so you don't keep in touch.

DSDiNozzo, Sr.

What's your point?

Tony inherited his personality from you, but I get the feeling there's a lot about your life you don't share.

I have to break one of your rules, boss. Number six: never say you're sorry. I let things get out of control in the hotel room.

Ah, it's covered. Rule eighteen.

Oh, yeah. It's better to seek forgiveness than ask permission. Am I forgiven?

No. You've been distracted by your father.

It's that obvious?

(on the phone) For the last time, my name is Anthony DiNozzo, Junior. My father is Anthony DiNozzo, Senior. I live in Washington, D.C. He lives in New York City. Is that so complicated? Junior, Senior? Can you follow that?

What is going on?

Tony's trying to withdraw money from a bank in New York, it sounds like they confused his account with one of his father's and he can't get the money.

Let me get this straight: you want me to spell my name again? Okay. It's big D as in "dimwit", little I as in "idiot", big N as in "nimrod", little O as in "obtuse", double-z as in "ZZ Top"...

What does he need the money for?

Well, he and a couple of his frat buddies decided to take a cruise this spring.

NO, I'M NOT KIDDING!

S7 E13Jetlag

I just sort of feel like you can use negative space to push the image, you know? It's sort of like a geometrical thing with the light coming across. I was trying to use these geometric lines and spacing. Sometimes I think maybe I should have done something more creative with my life.

NWNora Williams

No, I think you're in the right profession.

All right, Annie Leibowitz, what's wrong with my pictures?

NNora

Well, they're sort of soulless. Analytical. They look like postcards or --

Crime scene photos.

NNora

You just need people in them. happy people-

living people.

A team of Homeland Security officers will be waiting for us when we land. Outside the terminal an NCIS detail will take over.

MNMarshall Neeley

Not taking any chances in case your new hitman tries something on the ground, huh?

Which is why we must consider the possibility they may try something on the plane, where Nora is more vulnerable.

NNeeley

You have reason to believe they're on board?

Stationary target. Closed quarters.

NNeeley

A modern day Orient Express.

The killer would just need an inconspicuous weapon.

NNeeley

Like what? Listen, I've been doing this for a long while and I doubt that there's anything --

Headphone cables make for a perfect garrote, and plastic silverware is not as safe as you might think. I once killed a man using a credit card.

NNora

You are so direct. So honest. So different from him.

Tony and I have different approaches.

NNora

You're complimentary. You're sure you two never --

No. Positive. Definitely no. Why do you keep on asking about Tony and I?

NNora

You're like me and Daniel. A good fit. Besides, Paris is a romantic city and you two shared a room, so I --

I took the couch. Otherwise Tony would have whined the entire flight about his back. [smiles]

...

Hey, in Paris, who got stuck with the couch?

Me. We flipped a coin.

Tough break. (walks away)

Why did you just lie to McGee?

Why did you lie to Nora?

Nora was right. I found my favorite picture, and it's the only one with someone in it.

[looks down at the picture and smiles, almost blushing]

Very french new wave, don't you think?

Maybe. I think it would look better in black and white.

[Tony is video-conferencing with Ducky about a dead victim]

Oh no. My memory card's full. I have to delete some of my photos from Paris.

If you have any of that pyramid outside the Louvre, delete them. That glass monstrosity is an offence to good taste.

S7 E14Masquerade

First the plague, now radiation poisoning. I'm starting to think someone really has it in for me.

I was there, too, near the car, you know.

We all were.

But don't let that stop you from thinking about yourself.

This isn't about me! It's about my little DiNozzo makers! They've been nuked!

I know!

Do you?! I mean, sure, Tim, your kids are going to be smart, [Ziva rolls her eyes and walks away] but mine have a shot at being really beautiful.
