Farid Bawali : We came here to escape violence, Agent Gibbs. I was protesting an oppressive regime. They threatened to kill my family. I realize Muslim refugees do not get a great deal of sympathy in your country.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : That's not true. We take everybody. We just have rules about how they get here.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Okay, let me guess, Sec Nav doesn't want any more surprises. He's had his fair share.
Leon Vance : I think he's looking for a reason to get more involved in this, and I don't want to give him one. Find the killer - nothing more.

CGIS Special Agent Abigail Borin : You know, I spent three years on a cutter off Miami. The ones who make it to shore are usually the ones you don't want as neighbors.
Dr. Donald Mallard : And why is that?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : [entering] Because they were willing to do anything to survive.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : I'm not your family. So don't lie to me. You're not protesting your government. You're protesting mine - with bombs. Someone finally closing in on you...? Forcing you to run here?

Farid Bawali : [in interrogation] I want my family to be free.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : I want whoever killed the United States Coast Guard Petty Officer. And that's for starters.
Farid Bawali : [sneers] Why do you care so much about the death of *one* man?
[In the observation room, Borin bridles...]
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Just hold on a second.
[He glances at the two-way mirror and nods]
Leon Vance : I'll hold your coffee.
[Borin hands her coffee to Vance and storms into the interrogation room]
