Silent Service (2019)

Sean Murray: Timothy McGee

Quotes 

• Timothy McGee : All right, Jimmy's on his way back with the body. Gibbs and Bishop are staying on the sub.

  Nick Torres : Man, Bishop ain't gonna like that.

• Jack Sloane : We're really gonna miss you around here, Duck.

  Timothy McGee : I still can't believe it's your last day.

  Donald Mallard : I prefer to think of it as the first day of the rest of my life.

  Nick Torres : What happens on the second day?

  Donald Mallard : Stay tuned.

• Jack Sloane : Well, I know exactly what I'm gonna do when I retire. Buy a beach bar. Surf all day, and margaritas 'till sun-up.

  Nick Torres : Oh, man, I can definitely get behind that.

  Timothy McGee : You surf, Nick?

  Nick Torres : I was talking about the margaritas.

  Timothy McGee : Ah.

  Nick Torres : But honestly, I, uh, I've never really thought about retirement.

  Jack Sloane : Well, that definitely sounds like a surfer's mentality.

  Timothy McGee : Nick, you gotta get on that. I mean, I've been saving for my retirement since I was fourteen years old.

  Nick Torres : Oh, yeah, but you also have issues.

  Jack Sloane : And that's my cue to leave. I was never a big fan of "The Odd Couple".

• Timothy McGee : You do know that you need money to live on once you stop working, right?

  Nick Torres : Look, man, I-I've been saving, okay? But I-I'm saving like a normal person. Like, a little bit here and there, you know? I haven't been saving since I was potty-trained. But just out of curiosity, what-what do you guys think? How... how much you think is, uh, is enough?

  Timothy McGee : Well, it depends on your plans. I mean, maybe you want to travel, or, uh, do a vacation home. Either way, you're gonna need a lot of money.

  Nick Torres : [showing McGee his phone]  Do you think... do you think this is enough?

  Donald Mallard : [seeing Tim's face]  Oh, dear. That bad?

  Timothy McGee : How have you saved that much cash?

  Donald Mallard : Or perhaps that good?

  Timothy McGee : Wha... I don't have anywhere near that amount.

• Timothy McGee : You got to tell me. Where'd you get all that dough?

  Nick Torres : Man, I was undercover for a bunch of years. I never had to spend my own money. So I just kept stacking it up, baby.

  Timothy McGee : Oh.

  Nick Torres : So you're saying I'm good?

  Timothy McGee : Yeah, you're good.

  Nick Torres : Oh, yeah.

  Timothy McGee : [more to himself]  The question is, am I?

• Nick Torres : Tim, you're gonna be fine, man.

  Timothy McGee : Yeah, not compared to you. You've got no kids and a small fortune. I've got two kids and a wife. I'm gonna be working for the rest of my life.

  Jimmy Palmer : Well, the good news is you love your job, right?

  Donald Mallard : I've always loved mine.

  Timothy McGee : Well, no offense, Ducky, but if I'm still working when I'm your age...

  [he laughs until he sees Ducky's look; Jimmy snickers to himself] 

  Timothy McGee : I'm not gonna finish that sentence. Ducky, you look fantastic.

  Donald Mallard : Good move.

• Jimmy Palmer : Our petty officer drowned. No doubt about it. Aside from the water in the lungs, there's also signs of a subcutaneous emphysema. That's what happens when the air gets trapped in the tissue here.

  Timothy McGee : Any idea how that happened?

  Jimmy Palmer : That is the million-dollar question.

  Kasie Hines : [entering]  I have a buck-fifty answer.

  [to Nick and McGee] 

  Kasie Hines : You two. Answer your phones much?

  Nick Torres : Oh, I must have missed it.

  Timothy McGee : Sorry about that.

  Kasie Hines : Gibbs always answers. If that techology hater can manage to...

  Timothy McGee : What's up?

  Kasie Hines : One ring. Just saying.
