- Agent Ned Dorneget: Look guys, I appreciate the pep talk, but I'm fine. Stressful situations don't get to me any more.
- Timothy McGee: Since when?
- Agent Ned Dorneget: Okay, I'll tell you this because I'm confident enough to do so, but also because it might help you too. Two words: alter ego. Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed, I mentally transition into a better version of myself.
- Timothy McGee: You mean like Beyoncé and Sasha Fierce?
- Agent Ned Dorneget: I was thinking more like Clark Kent and Superman, but yeah, same idea.
- Anthony DiNozzo: That's fantastic.
- Agent Ned Dorneget: It is. I transitioned right before you walked up. That is why your b.s. is not getting to me.
- Timothy McGee: So right now, who are we talking to?
- Agent Ned Dorneget: Gilroy Libbs, super agent, ready to kick some MTAC ass.
- Anthony DiNozzo: Did you see him do that eye scanner. First time I did it - 14 tries.
- Timothy McGee: Gilroy Libbs is kind of awesome.
- Anthony DiNozzo: I know.
- Agah Bayar, Anthony DiNozzo: As much as I adore making new friends, I worry about losing old ones.
- Anthony DiNozzo: Gibbs is tied up.
- Agah Bayar: [to Bishop] What do you think?
- Anthony DiNozzo: What do you mean what does she think?
- Agah Bayar: I heard you, but I didn't like your answer.
- Anthony DiNozzo: You don't like my answer or you don't like me?
- Agah Bayar: Neither.
- Ellie Bishop: Gibbs really is tied up. He sends his apologies.
- Agah Bayar: You see? She dips it in sugar, and all of the sudden it tastes so sweet.
- Ellie Bishop: We need you to reach out to your contacts, and find out who's seeking these S-mines. We need locations on these people.
- Agah Bayar: Yes, well I did some research of my own, dear heart. And I know that you're after The Calling, and The Calling's after the children.
- Anthony DiNozzo: That's right.
- Agah Bayar: [taps the folder Tony brought] My mother is flawed, but she's my own. And if you *ever* threaten her again, my response won't be civil. I'll help you. But your efforts were wasted. I would've helped you without payment and without blackmail.
- Ellie Bishop: Why?
- Agah Bayar: Women and children first. It was an absolute we could always agree upon. When babies are used in the wars of men... then God help us all.
