Quotes
-
Ellie Bishop : [at a bowling alley] Whoa. Well, I know where I'm having my next birthday party.
Nick Torres : Where was the last one?
Ellie Bishop : ShowBiz Pizza. I was seven.
-
Timothy McGee : Nick, you didn't say anything in your text about a dead body.
Nick Torres : Tim, why else would I text you to come to Gibbs' house as soon as you landed?
Timothy McGee : Well, I can think of a few reasons.
-
Timothy McGee : You're sure that it was Gibbs' truck that was hit?
Nick Torres : Where did he go?
Ellie Bishop : I-I told you everything I know.
Jimmy Palmer : I just want to say, any time you guys need a safe, secluded space for gossip, Autopsy's all yours. Gets really lonely down here.
-
Donald Mallard : I pulled the records of your six vigilante murder cases, and I discovered an intriguing connection.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : What kind of connection, Duck?
Donald Mallard : These six murders span four states, each in a different city, each in a different jurisdiction with different judges. However, on closer inspection, each of these four judges have something in common. They all clerked for one man.
Timothy McGee : [Ducky shows them a photo] Judge Deakin.
Ellie Bishop : A federal judge running a vigilante network?
Nick Torres : We can't prove anything.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : No, not yet. Keep digging.
Ellie Bishop : [watching him leave] Okay, where is he going now?
Nick Torres : Damn good question.
-
Timothy McGee : Hey, what's up?
Nick Torres : We have a problem. I followed Gibbs last night.
Timothy McGee : Uh, that's a "you" problem. He's not gonna be happy about that.
Ellie Bishop : He went to the judge without telling us.
Nick Torres : Why is he cutting us out?
Ellie Bishop : I don't know, but it has to do with the shooting at the diner.
-
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Where are we?
Timothy McGee : Mallory's cell hasn't been used in days.
Nick Torres : The Agency hasn't heard from her since she was cleared in Clark's death.
Ellie Bishop : Yeah, no hits on the BOLO, either.
Timothy McGee : Mallory is a trained CIA operative. She knows how to disappear.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Well, she's not going anywhere until she finishes her job.
Timothy McGee : By "job", you mean...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Putting a bullet in my head.
-
Nick Torres : [turning on Gibbs' TV after a shoot-out] You got to be kidding me. It still works.
Ellie Bishop : Mm, didn't it used to be in color?
-
Timothy McGee : So what happened here?
Ellie Bishop : Clark was meeting Gibbs. Mallory got here first. She said Clark tried to kill her.
Timothy McGee : What? Why?
Nick Torres : Mallory shot back. Put one in the TV and one in Clark's heart.
Timothy McGee : Self-defense?
Ellie Bishop : According to Mallory.
Timothy McGee : Okay. Do we believe her?
-
Timothy McGee : The Ice Cream Killer, Stuart Crum, got off on a legal technicality, and then was murdered.
Ellie Bishop : The man who killed Crum was an assassin paid from a secret account belonging to Secretary of Defense. We don't actually think SECDEF paid for the hit, do we?
Nick Torres : I mean, it was his account.
Timothy McGee : We still don't have proof that he was controlling it.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [entering] So find some. Follow the money.
-
Ellie Bishop : A network of vigilante justice?
Timothy McGee : No matter how many times you say it out loud, it still sounds like every comic book ever.
Nick Torres : Everybody likes superheroes.
Ellie Bishop : Superman doesn't hire hitmen, Nick.
Nick Torres : Yeah, but he takes down criminals that the system can't catch.
Timothy McGee : Yeah, but he also leaps tall buildings in a single bound, so let's stick to reality here.
-
Timothy McGee : Murder is murder.
Nick Torres : I agree.
Timothy McGee : And we need to find out who is controlling this network.
Ellie Bishop : I agree.
Timothy McGee : So we all agree. So what's the problem?
Ellie Bishop : The problem is... where is Gibbs? I mean, there should be three cups of coffee in the trash by now.
[holding up the empty trash can]
Ellie Bishop : Zero cups.
Timothy McGee : Yeah, and how often do we get this far into a discussion before he appears behind...
Nick Torres : [McGee looks around suspiciously] See, that's why I didn't say anything, 'cause as soon as I did... okay.
Timothy McGee : Yeah, this is weird.
-
Ellie Bishop : It's not like Gibbs to not show up for work. We should check on him.
Timothy McGee : Good luck with that.
Nick Torres : Yeah, that's all you.
Timothy McGee : [seeing her look] No, I'm-I'm gonna go help, uh, Kasie find a connection.
Nick Torres : Yeah, and I'm gonna pull case files on our six murder dots.
Ellie Bishop : Oh, my god. What are you two scared of? Gibbs will appreciate the fact that we are concerned about him.
Nick Torres : [sarcastic] Yeah, he appreciates when people are up in his business.
-
Timothy McGee : Morning, Nick.
Nick Torres : Hey, yo.
[he blows air and rubs his fingers together like starting a fire in the wild]
Timothy McGee : Was that meant for us?
Ellie Bishop : Or did he have a stroke?
Nick Torres : Excuse me.
Ellie Bishop : [he does the gesture again] The last man who made that hand gesture at me is now missing a hand.
Nick Torres : What? It means "campfire".
Ellie Bishop : Then just say "campfire".
Nick Torres : Campfire. Now.
-
Timothy McGee : I see how this looks.
Ellie Bishop : Bad.
Timothy McGee : Well, what are supposed to do? We supposed to step in every time boss makes a move without telling us?
Ellie Bishop : This is different. I mean, the guy's car just got sprayed with bullets, and we have no idea why.
Nick Torres : We can't do our jobs if we're always in the dark.
Timothy McGee : Maybe he's trying to protect us.
Nick Torres : From what? If we're in danger, wouldn't... wouldn't you want to know?
Ellie Bishop : McGee, you have to handle this.
Timothy McGee : Yeah, I can't keep firing Gibbs.
Ellie Bishop : Just talk to him.
Timothy McGee : All right, fine. But if I crash and burn, you two are coming with.
-
Ellie Bishop : Okay FAA and TSA have Mallory on a watchlist. Border checkpoints are on high alert. Still waiting on a list of her known aliases.
Nick Torres : CIA has me on hold. Again.
Timothy McGee : And no activity on her Internet accounts, and her cell phone is still turned off.
Nick Torres : Yeah. Great. Can you send me those?
[hanging up]
Nick Torres : The aliases are on their way.
