- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [singing softly while using the bathroom] Which my father bought for two zuzim...
- [notices Ziva behind him]
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: How long you been standing there?
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: Long enough to see you are well hydrated after your time in the desert.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Sneaking behind, surprising me?
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: I was not sure what to say.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [washing hands] Though you're sure it had to be said in the men's room.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: I'm sure it had to be said... When you shot Michael, I almost killed you where you stood.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I wasn't standing.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: No, you weren't. You were lying on the ground, without adequate backup, completely violating protocal...
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: And double parked.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: Yes, I noticed... But that does not matter. Just like it doesn't matter how it turned out for Michael.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Then what does?
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: [puts her hand on Tony's hand] That you have had my back. That you have always had my back. And that I was wrong... to question your motives.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: So why did you?
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: I trusted my brother Ari. I trusted Michael. I could not afford to trust you.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I thought you weren't sure what to say.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: Guess I had a long time to think about... things.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [short pause] I'm sorry, Ziva.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: No... It is I who am sorry.
- [kisses Tony's cheek]
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: Your instincts were right. You were a cop and I never should've faulted you for thinking...
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [grabs Ziva] I'm a cop... I think like a cop. Genius!
- [He rushes out, leaving her confused]
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You had orders to kill your brother to earn my trust?
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: Yes.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: That's a problem.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You lied to me.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: No! When I told you Ari was innocent. I believed it. But yes, I would have lied to you. He was my brother, and you were nothing. But I was wrong about Ari, and you. When I pulled the trigger to save your life, I was not following orders. I mean, how could you even think...? He was my brother. And now he is gone, Eli is all but dead to me...
- [fighting tears]
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: And the closest thing I have to a father is accusing me.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: ...Okay.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: I had forgotten who I could trust. We were a team. And I would like that again.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You need to talk to the Director.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: It is your blessing I came for.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Alan Sandich's fiancee is back in town.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [enters] And she's already re-engaged. Does that remind you of anyone, Boss?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How long are you going to keep making those jokes, DiNozzo?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I think that was actually the last time I'm ever going to make that joke. Sorry.
- Police Officer Howard Shelly: DiNozzo... wait, are you Tony DiNozzo?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Only if I don't owe you money.
- Police Officer Howard Shelly: You don't. Just glad to have you at my back, sir.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: [entering Gibbs' basement] Hello, Gibbs. Your door was open.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Usually is.
- Jay Danorth: Is this about Eric Jurel? I already heard. Good news travels fast.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: "Good news"?
- Jay Danorth: Well, he's dead, isn't he?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Did you wake up this morning *wanting* to be the prime suspect in a murder investigation?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [to Sgt. Ross' C.O] Accident report you signed said he hurt himself on base?
- Marine Colonel Dick Jestern: He was a flight mechanic. Got his arm caught in a hydraulic.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Really? My M.E. here says it was a gunshot wound. He's pretty smart. You care to revise your report?
- Marine Colonel Dick Jestern: [sighs] Guess I have to, starting with the fact Ross was actually the biggest bastard I'd ever met.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: That is not for rescuing me. That is for leaving me in Israel. You're probably wondering, perhaps I rigged it to explode.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No. I was thinking this is a really nice chisel.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: David, you were never an agent. You were the Mossad Liason Officer, which by definition requires you to have a relationship with Mossad. Have you even spoken with your father?
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: No.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You're damaged goods. How damaged I need to know before I know before I can even begin to figure out what to do with you. You pass the Psych Evaluation Battery and we'll talk.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: Thank you.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: David, no promises.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: [Referring to bachelor parties] I could tell you stories that would make your hair curl.
- Jimmy Palmer: Go on.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [enters] No, it's better he doesn't.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Oh Jethro, can't I tell him about the time when...?
- [off Gibbs's look]
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Better I don't.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [after DiNozzo narrowly saves a transient from getting hit by a truck] You okay?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah. Got something wet in my hands, but I don't wanna think about it.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: [seeing the awkwardness between Tony and Ziva] And... I'm gonna go do that... after I get a Nutter Butter.
- [McGee is taking photos of the crime scene]
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Hey, you missed a shot there, sidekick.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: I'm not your sidekick, Tony.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [laughs] And yet, you are.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: No, I am not, because you're not the boss.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: When Gibbs isn't here, I'm the boss.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [walks in] Gibbs is here.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Hey, boss.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: I have my first psych evaluation.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh yeah, I always love those.
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: I'm sure. You get to talk about yourself the entire time.
- [awkward pause]
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: I'm sorry, that was...
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: No, it's all right. No one would ever accuse you of having tact.
- [another awkward pause]
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Sorry.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: She found out about a deal his boss had going down.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You partnered with Officer Shelly...
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Then you double-crossed him, kept the payday for yourself...
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: And set Shelly up for murder.
- Elaina Marcus: [chuckles derisively]
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What's so funny?
- Elaina Marcus: You haven't arrested me. Which means you don't have any proof.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: McProof?
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: The fake suicide note we found on Shelly's computer? We traced the worm that planted that back to your laptop.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Proves you killed Jurel, his buddies, and Shelly.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Uh-oh. You know what that means?
- [Tony dangles a pair of handcuffs]
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You're under arrest!
- NCIS Special Agent Bryn Fillmore: I had a hard time choosing the right adjectives. I couldn't decide between childish, juvenille, and just plain old annoying.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: It's true.
- NCIS Special Agent Bryn Fillmore: And you - you know better. But you're so busy playing faithful sidekick, you just go along for the ride. Well I've had enough! Make sure Agent Gibbs gets that.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I know how to find Officer Shelly: track his burn phone.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Well, we already know where it is, it's in the evidence garage.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: He's got another one.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Well, that's great, but without the cells' E.S.N. numbers, we can't track any of them.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Think, McSidekick! Use the leading man, harness those powers.
- Abby Sciuto: Abby Scuito:
- [to Ziva, furiously]
- Abby Sciuto: What the hell is wrong with you? How could you have doubted Tony after everything you've been through together? Did you really think that Tony killed Rivkin because he was jealous?
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: Abby, please calm...
- Abby Sciuto: [interrupting] You weren't thinking! That's right, you weren't thinking!
- [pensively]
- Abby Sciuto: Although, I suppose I *could* understand your initial reaction. You were in an emotional time... for you... and people act rashly...
- [furious again]
- Abby Sciuto: But to tell Gibbs that you didn't trust Tony?
- [back to pensive]
- Abby Sciuto: Which I guess I also could understand, you know. I mean, he did just shoot your boyfriend. In your living room. To death. All right, l-I'll give you that one.
- [back to furious]
- Abby Sciuto: But this is *Tony* we're talking about here! AII - all soft and goofy on the outside, and 100% rock on the inside! And after everything you accused him of, he risked his life to go save you! You should be ashamed of yourself! Even though, in hindsight, it is starting to make a little bit more sense now. But either way, the ball is in your court. It is Tony: one and Ziva... *zilch*! This is your move - and it better be a good one!
- [a pause. Ziva looks ashamed of herself]
- Abby Sciuto: [softening] God, I was so worried about you.
- [Abby walks over to Ziva and they hug]
- Ziva David, Former Mossad Liaison: [humbly] I know...
- Abby Sciuto: [while they hug, Abby picks up a remote which triggers celebratory confetti bombs, revealing a glittering banner that reads "Welcome Home Ziva!" Ziva smiles]
