- 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.
- Donald Mallard: Does Gibbs suspect foul play?
- Jack Sloane: Does he ever not?
- Donald Mallard: Ah, good point.
- 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".
- Ellie Bishop: Where's Gibbs?
- Jimmy Palmer: Talking to the CO. Now it's time for you to talk to me. Who do we have here?
- Ellie Bishop: Well, Petty Officer Robert White. And I hope he's a fast talker.
- Jimmy Palmer: Yeah, me, too. I have a whole list full of events planned for Dr. Mallard's last day.
- Ellie Bishop: If you want to see him before he leaves, let's make this quick, okay?
- Jimmy Palmer: Hey. You doing okay?
- Ellie Bishop: Yeah. Just not a big fan of being underwater these days, you know, so...
- Jimmy Palmer: Oh, that's right. And now you're basically trapped on a big, giant underwater coffin.
- Ellie Bishop: Not helping.
- Jimmy Palmer: Look, we are gonna be fine, all right? This baby is indestructible. And if anything were to go wrong with the boat, Bishop, good news, we'd be dead before you know it.
- Ellie Bishop: Okay. So, it's times like these I'm really gonna miss Ducky.
- Jimmy Palmer: How does a U.S. Navy SEAL drown during a routine dive?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: That's a good question.
- 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?
- Chief Petty Officer Emily Ross: It was a by-the-book dive. This shouldn't have happened.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How well did you know Petty Officer White?
- Chief Petty Officer Emily Ross: He'd only been board a few days. But I could already tell he was a bit cocky. You know how SEALs are.
- Ellie Bishop: Cocky enough to make someone want to kill him?
- Chief Petty Officer Emily Ross: You NCIS guys always go straight to that.
- Ellie Bishop: Well, it's kind of our job.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You just said it shouldn't have happened.
- Ellie Bishop: Except it did, and we're not ready to rule anything out.
- Chief Petty Officer Emily Ross: All I meant was White was a highly-trained diver, so something must've gone wrong. Like maybe with the equipment.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Okay. Aside from White, who had access to his dive gear?
- Chief Petty Officer Emily Ross: His dive partner. And... me.
- Ellie Bishop: So, you and White get along?
- Chief Petty Officer Emily Ross: You guys are barking up the wrong tree, okay? I don't have any beef with...
- Ellie Bishop: [a klaxon blares] What's that?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's the dive alarm.
- Ellie Bishop: Uh, what? They're not supposed to dive with us on board.
- Chief Petty Officer Emily Ross: Not unless it's an emergency, no.
- Ellie Bishop: Oh. Mm. Okay. That's just great.
- Chief Petty Officer Emily Ross: Well, whatever it is, we're going down fast.
- Ellie Bishop: Gibbs...
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Bishop...
- Ellie Bishop: Huh?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It's fine.
- Ellie Bishop: Mm-kay.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Everything's gonna be fine.
- Navy Captain Reginald Barkley: I thought NCIS left with the body.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No. We're still here.
- Navy Captain Reginald Barkley: Well, you two are gonna have to sit tight, then.
- Ellie Bishop: What's going on?
- Navy Captain Reginald Barkley: We've been given emergency dive orders, told to wait for further instruction.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We need to get word to NCIS.
- Lieutenant Commander Gregory Pullman: [chuckles] That's a hard no. Orders include radio silence.
- Ellie Bishop: Uh, but...
- Lieutenant Commander Gregory Pullman: Until we hear otherwise, nothing is going out.
- 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.
- Navy Captain Reginald Barkley: Don't worry, we'll get you two off the Memphis and back in your cubicles as soon as we can.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We're not gettin' off. We have an investigation to finish.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Captain, you have an unexplained death on your boat. I'd like to think you'd be a little more curious about what happened.
- Navy Captain Reginald Barkley: You got a lot of stones to stand on my bridge and insinuate I don't care about what happens to my crew.
- Ellie Bishop: All due respect, a Navy SEAL died on a routine training exercise, and no one can explain why.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We'll have full access to your crew, and we'll start with Petty Officer White's diving buddy.
- Navy Captain Reginald Barkley: Agent Gibbs, I understand that you have a job to do.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We do. And the full authority to do it.
- Navy Captain Reginald Barkley: But let me make myself perfectly clear. If either of you interfere with the operations of this boat, I will fire you out of that torpedo tube myself.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [amused laugh] I wish you luck with that.
- Jimmy Palmer: Sorry I'm so busy, Dr. Mallard. The timing on this couldn't have been worse.
- Donald Mallard: Dr. Palmer...
- Jimmy Palmer: I know, I know. I said I'd stop apologizing.
- Donald Mallard: Well, then stop.
- Jimmy Palmer: I-It's just that I had a-a speech planned, and there was a-a slideshow in Kasie's lab. Oh, and cookies.
- Donald Mallard: Yeah, well, this three-page letter and all these parting gifts, it's more than sufficient. And I'm leaving NCIS, not the planet.
- 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.
- Ellie Bishop: Hey, any way to open this from the inside?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, blowtorch.
- Ellie Bishop: Yeah, well we should have brought one from home. What are you looking for?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: A blowtorch.
