RC Ray Cruz
Just celebrated my thirteenth year, sir.
That's funny. Ziva failed to mention your line of work.
It's what I do. It's not who I am.
That's a very zen, new-agey kind of attitude for someone who instals puppet regimes for a living.
Okay. Gibbs, can I give Ray a tour?
Yeah, sure. Don't lose him.
It's been a pleasure meeting all of you.
Huh. So it's not Renaissance Ray. It's CIA Ray. He's CIRay!
You really should get that checked out. It's like a bad tick or something.
Something about this guy, boss. His smile is disturbing. I haven't seen a smile like that since Christan Bale's barely audible Batman in The Dark Knight .
Right. Back to work. (in Batman voice) It's what I do. It's not who I am. (normally) Huh.
You know, I want Ziva's friends to become my friends. She's told me how close the two of you are.
[Laughing] I wouldn't say that.
She says you're like a brother to her.
(Tony looks troubled)
Change, Gibbs. Change makes me itch. It always has. It's Agent Barrett. I'm not a fan. I mean, of change. Her I don't mind. She's feisty for someone so small, and I like that. Not that I like her, because I don't really.
I like our family just the way it is.
Nothing's going to change.
Salads are not stakeout food.
Well, they should be. [motioning at his sandwich] At least they don't stink up the car.
[offers an onion ring] Want one?
Did Gibbs say anything to you about Agent Barrett? You know, dating?
[sighs] Are you sure he knows?
He's Gibbs. He knows everything. He did read her the riot act, though.
Well, that's not good, Tony. I mean, you should talk to Gibbs. You and him go way back! I mean, it's like the big rhinoceros in the room that no one wants to talk about.
It's an elephant in the room. It's not a hippopotamus, it's not a rhinoceros. It's an elephant.
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?
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.
My team. My rules. [ignores phone call from Abby] Sleeping with Barrett is a bad idea.
No offense, but my personal life is my business.
It's going to effect your work.
I know what you're thinking: that I've lost focus, that I've taken my eye off the ball.
Listen, we have to kind of cool it around the office from now on. You know what I mean?
You mean around Gibbs. He intimidates you.
Let's just say he presents a challenge. He sees what he shouldn't see. Hears what he shouldn't hear. He's like Alec Baldwin in The Shadow, and the shadow always knows.
Look, I'm just saying that I think Tony is more upset than he's letting on.
Yes, but he and his partner had not spoken in years.
Okay, let's say you and I hadn't spoken in years, and I get my throat slit by a serial killer.
I would hunt him down, and make him regret the day he was born. You're not just any partner, McGee!
[reading his fortune cookie message] Love is for the lucky and the brave. Why is that for me?
D Danny
Hey man, asking your high school music teacher out qualifies as brave in my book.
Wendy asked me out, remember?
D Danny
See, that's why you can dress like that. 'Cause you're good-looking, but one of these days, the looks are going to run out.
I plan to be safely married by then.
D Danny
Well if not, you might want to consider a new wardrobe. Seriously. Yeah, with the right clothes, you'd be unstoppable.
[telling Abby and McGee how he recognized a possible suspect's picture] Rule number 35.
AM Abby and McGee
[look at each other and smile] Always watch the watchers.
[In a flashback, Tony is talking to Gibbs over the phone. Gibbs' cell rings in the background]
[...]
[phones rings again] Ah, I gotta get this one.
Maybe being a cop isn't for me. [Gibbs smacks Tony on the head, to his surprise] Did you just physically assault me?
I don't have a lot of rules, but rule number five is 'you don't waste good.' You're good.
You gonna make a habit of that?
[talking about Gibbs, in flashback] Who'd wanna be a navy cop? I'd rather have the plague.
Who the hell are all these people?
Oh. These are the new guys! Gibbs didn't tell you?
There is always another monster.
I mean, we pursue them, but we just keep making targets of ourselves.
Better us than someone who didn't sign up for it.
I don't think I can take anymore. [steps into Tony's arms]
Hey, we're going to get him, okay?
[Elevator door opens to reveal Abby and McGee hugging]
[motions with his arm] Bring it in.
[Abby and McGee join Tony and Ziva for a group hug]
Sweet merciful crap, man. Am I really supposed to remember all these names?!?
