Episode 1.20 "Missing" Gibbs: Good job. Tony: Did you say something, boss?

Kate did he say something? Kate: Don't push it. Tony: Pushing it is what I love about this job. Tony: Rush hour. I mean its not like anyone is rushing anywhere and it always takes more than a hour. They should call it-Gibbs: How about 'Sit there and shut up before I shoot you' hour. Tony: I was thinking something shorter. [Tony starts slurping his drink, Gibbs grabs it and throws it out his window.] That's littering. Gibbs: Fine me. Kate: So how big was his unit? Abby: We could ask him... but, men tend to lie about that. Kate: Where are you going? Abby: Gibbs didn't tell you? Kate: Tell me what? Abby: I have a party to go to. Kate: How did you get them to agree to that? Abby: I asked him. Gibbs: DiNozzo, you call in in every hour, you forget one time, call in late...don't bother coming back. Gibbs: Tony does his best work when there's not an audience around. Abby: I got a weird feeling. Gibbs: Abs, you always got a weird feeling... Abby: Yeah, but this time is different. Gibbs: He can take care of himself. Abby: What do you think, Kate. Kate: I think you're just suffering from the affects of your party last night. Abby: All I drank was Red Bull. Kate: How many? Abby: (pauses) Eighteen. Sako: (yelling) Where the hell are you!? Kate: Thank God, Tony's still alive. (Gibbs looks at Kate baffled) Kate: Who else you know pisses off people like that? (Gibbs shrugs and smiles in a "yeah" sort of way) Tony: Gibbs! What are you doing here? Gibbs: I'm rescuing you, Tony!

Tony: (looks up at barred window that leads outside, with an almost wild look on his face, and whispers) My father was right, I am gonna end up in the gutter. Tony: Admit it, you were worried about me. (no response) You don't have to say it, I know. (still no response) Okay, I want you to say it.You do care right? (elevator doors open and Gibbs walks out) So.....are you saying you don't care? Gibbs: (stops) Tony, as far as I'm concerned (taps his cheeks), you're irreplaceable. Tony: I knew it (laughs a little). I knew behind the whole marine thing you really are at heart-Gibbs: Forget it McGee he's still alive. Tony: Remember the good old days, Kate? Kate: What good old days? Tony: When Gibbs would confide in us; treat us like peers? Kate: No. Tony: Good, I thought I was the only one. Gunny: Unless you're a blacksmith, I'm pretty much screwed here. Tony: You need to think positive, Gunny. Gunny: You're right. I'm positive I'm screwed. Tony: Boss, is there a reason why you always take these back roads? Kate: Or do you just hate us? Gibbs: I hate traffic more! Tony: I think I'm going to puke. Gibbs: Roll down a window! (phone rings) Gibbs: (hands phone to Kate) Here, answer this. Abby: Hey, Gibbs, it's me, Abby. I got a... Kate: It's Kate. Abby: Hey Kate, where's the boss man? Kate: He's driving. We should be back soon. Abby: Is he taking you on one of his special short cuts? Kate: If that's what you want to call it. What's up? Abby: Well, Gibbs asked me to do some background on Atlas and Sacco, and I found something interesting. Kate: You're gonna have to speak up. Gibbs is apparently trying to kill us! Kate: Look, just don't take any chances, Ok? If we're right about Sacco, he's got more than a screw loose. Tony: Aw, and here I was thinking you didn't care. Kate: It's not about caring. If anything happens to you, I'm gonna get stuck here working with Gibbs alone. Tony: Aw, he's not that bad. Gibbs: Hey, DiNozzo! You still here? Tony: Then again, you may be on to something.

Kate: Tony, you are so lucky you didn't have sisters growing up. Tony: Why's that? Kate: Because youd never have reached puberty. Of course, one could argue you still haven't reached it. Kate: You were pretty tough with her. Gibbs: She reminds me of my ex-wife. Tony: Which one? Gibbs: All of them! Episode 1.21 "Split Decision" Abby: Don't be silly AFT lady Tony: (Talking about ATF Agent) I really liked her Kate: An ATF Agent involved in illegal weapons and murder. What's not to like? Tony: Don't be so quick to judge, Kate. Sure she has flaws, sure she's going to prison, my instincts told me that she had good qualities as well Kate: Two of them wouldn't happen to live under her shirt would they? (Abby is making a fake ID for Gibbs) Gibbs: Abs, leave a few gaps, don't make it so neat. Abby: Please Gibbs, I've been making fake IDs since I was 15. Tony: He said you could use his computer? McGee: Uh huh. Tony: Really? You know, when mine fried, he wouldn't let me touch his. Gibbs: 'Cause your fingers are always greasy from fried chicken and pizza. Tony: You weren't going to let her shoot me were you? Gibbs: Nah. Tony: You had a plan, right? Gibbs: (unconvincingly) Yeah. (Team, discussing the hard drive) Abby: "...its just a matter of Humpty Dumptying it." Tony: "I thought they couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again?" Kate: "That's because the King only had horses and men." (she and Abby share a look) Gibbs: (describing the watch he is putting on) It's a locator. I won't activate it unless they move us. Tony: (in a Sean Connery accent) Very James Bond - does it tell time too? Abby: It's not like they have any new ideas. It's just so... Ducky: The song remains the same? Abby: Exactly. And bonus points for the gratuitous rock reference. (Abby developing an undercover ID for Tony)

Tony: How about some time in Leavenworth? Abby: Whats the crime? Tony: Something that fits my persona. Abby: How about violation of federal obscenity laws? Tony: That's funny. Episode 1.22 "A Weak Link" Kate: You OK? Abby: I'm fine. Why? Kate: You're not your normal, effervescent, cheerful Abby. Abby: That's because she's been replaced. By the abnormal, dull, and melancholy Abby. Tony: Aww, you don't know much about dating, do ya? Kate: Huh, why don't you enlighten me? Tony: Well, there's always one phony break-up, that proceeds the real break-up. Everyone knows that. (He tweaks Kate's nose.) Gibbs: Lets pretend we dont know anything. Tony: Not much of a stretch. McGee: (about 'hinky'') It's a made up word. Abby: All words are made up words. McGee: Well, I think it's stupid. Abby: Then maybe I just shouldn't say anything. McGee: Fine! Abby: Fine! Gibbs: What if I wanted to get into that account? Kate: Get a search warrent for the servers. Gibbs: Don't have time for a warrent. What's a quicker way? Kate: Hack in the server. (Gibbs smiles) Kate: I can't believe I just said that.I would have never suggested that before I started working here. Gibbs: You're welcome. Gibbs: Looks like we're back to square one. Ducky: I don't seem to have been much help. Gibbs: That's okay, Duck.DiNozzo there sure enjoyed the ice cream. Ducky: Well, if I have any brainstorms.... Gibbs: Yeah, we'll be here. Kate: I wish I had a better idea of how all the rappelling stuff worked.It might be easier to figure out what happened. Tony: I have.....kinda of a crazy idea! Kate: Mmm, those are never comforting words coming from you.

(Gibbs and Tony share a look) Kate: What? (cuts to Gibbs hooking Kate up to a harness and Tony waiting below) Kate: No! No way! Gibbs: You'll do fine. Alright, push this down and clamp it onto your harness, like that.There we go. Kate: Okay, remind me, this is going to help us solve the case again because..... Tony: It's fun! Gibbs:You want to understand what happened. This is how we understand. (Kate cries as they ride up) Tony: You used to protect the president? Gibbs: Gotta check you're harness. (Turns her around and adjust the harness) How does that feel? Kate: (looks down) Like I'm about to throw up. Gibbs: Face me. (Turns her around) DiNozzo, you're on belay. Tony: Don't worry, Kate, I got your back. Kate: Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of, Tony. Gibbs: Okay, guide hand right here. Brake hand, you want to stop, clamp down on this, put your thumb right at the center of your butt. Tony: All set down here, Boss. Gibbs: Remember what I told ya'? Kate: Todd on repel. Tony: DiNozzo on belay. Gibbs: You ready? Kate: You know, Gibbs, I think I kind got the gist of it now. It's fine--(Gibbs pushes her off. Kate cries out and hangs in the air a minute.) Gibbs: You're doing great. (She rides the rest of the way down screaming.) Kate: (Lands in front of Tony) Cool. Gibbs: DiNozzo, was there something in my tone of voice that made that sound like a suggestion? Gibbs: (Tony sees a car in the victim's garage) You're not gonna start giving me all the vital stats on this car, are you? Tony: Thunderball. She's got a... Gibbs: Let me rephrase that, DiNozzo. You're *not* going to give me the vital stats on this car. Gibbs: (to a suspect) Your track record for the truth is unimpressive. Gibbs, Kate, and Tony are working late in the evidence garage. Ducky arrives with ice cream (starts at 0:33:34 on the DVD). Ducky: Ice cream here! Tony: Thank God! I'm starving! [Gibbs stares at Tony.] I can wait. Gibbs: Duck, what are you doing here? It's the middle of the night. Ducky: How can I be at home in my warm and comfortable bed knowing that my brethren were here toiling away in the name of national security?

Gibbs: Couldn't sleep, huh? Ducky: Not a wink. Gibbs: Neighbors again? Ducky: Or as I like to refer to them: the devil's spawn. Episode 1.23 "Reveille" Abby: Wake him up. McGee: I don't know, maybe he needs the rest. Abby: He's not resting, look at him. His eyeballs are disco dancing under those lids. McGee: Disco dancing? Is that back? Abby: It's Gibbs. It never left. Gibbs: McGee should have. Hours ago. (sits up in his chair) Norfolk office opens in... (looks at watch) 24 minutes. It's a 193 mile drive. McGee: Well, I was going to call in. Gibbs: Yeah? And tell 'em what, McGee? McGee: Well, uh, that you needed me to work here today? Gibbs: Why do I need you here? McGee: Well, because I have an idea on how to speed up the search for him. (Gibbs stops in his tracks) Gibbs: I'm listening. Abby: Woah, Gibbs! I dig 'em! Gibbs: Tell DiNozzo. Abby: Would you be less grumpy if you slept in a bed? Gibbs: No. Abby: Didn't think so. Abby: Which keep getting longer as you age, whether or not you wear earrings, so you might as well wear them. Gibbs: This you can do? McGee: I just need a couple hours to put it on your hard drive. Gibbs: Okay, that's worth a hall pass. I'll call Norfolk. (to Abby) He stay at your place? Abby: Yep. Gibbs: You sleep in the coffin, McGee? (enters bathroom without waiting for answer) McGee: (looks at Abby) Coffin? Well...you...you said it was a box sofa bed. Abby: Well...it is...sort of. McGee: That's why you wouldn't turn the lights on! (scoffs) I can't believe I slept in a coffin. Abby: (shrugs) Not just slept. Gibbs: Rule number seven: Always be specific when you lie. Gibbs: I want you to profile a terrorist. Kate: What terrorist? Gibbs: The one you couldn't stab.

Kate: Gibbs, what is it with your hair? Gibbs: What's wrong with my hair? Kate: Nothing, your hair is...you. Gibbs: Yeah. Thank you. Kate: Tony, I'm worried about him. Tony: Gibbs? That's like worrying about Jim Bowie in a knife fight. Kate: Bowie died at the Alamo. Tony: I know. I saw the movie. Kate: Gibbs surprised me at DC Beans today. He brought me coffee and then drilled me about that terrorist like it was yesterday not months ago. Tony: Wow, that is serious. He's never bought me coffee. Gibbs: Tony comes back, put him under house-arrest. McGee: Me? Tony: Hey Boss. McGee said you wanted to see me. (pauses, no reaction from Gibbs, just a stare) Actually, he said I was under house-arrest, but I figured that was just your way of making a point. Gibbs: Do I need to tell you the name of the creek you're up without a paddle? Or how deep it is? Tony: Up to my knees? Gibbs: Ah, so you're familiar with this creek. Tony: Want to give her a paddle? McGee: Huh? Tony: It has to do with the creek Kate and I are up. Gibbs: I want it TODAY! (walks away) McGee: Wow! Tony: Kate's right, I think Gibbs is losing it. You don't really think he meant today, do you? (McGee nods his head) Tony: Oh man! (shakes his head and arms furiously) Ari Haswari: Oh, many women find me charming. Kate: You must pay them well. Ducky: I wonder if the college should be informed. Tony: Would they want to name him an honored alumni? Ari: Women should never get involved in politics; its a waste of beauty. Fornell: This guy's been a sleeper his whole life.

Gibbs: I'd like to put him in a coma. Fornell: (takes a drink of Gibbs' bourbon and winces) Now I know why you keep it with the paint strippers. Gibbs: It's 125 proof. Kate: Scary scenarios' keep popping into my head.Like you're here to fire me or tell me I'm going undercover has DiNozzo's wife. (Gibbs enters the NCIS morgue to meet with the terrorist Ari Haswari, opens a body bag containing Marta's body, one of Ari's partners] Gibbs: She was beautiful... Ari Haswari: Very... Gibbs: Did you make love to her... and then blow her brains out...? Ari Haswari: She would do the same to me... Gibbs: Why do you do this... Ari Haswari: The same reason you do... Gibbs: I don't think so... Ari Haswari: Then you're lying to yourself... Gibbs: What now? You go back to the Middle East... tell them that Marta was Mossad and she blew the op? Ari Haswari: Yes... Gibbs: Two op failures in a row... I'd axe your ass if you worked for me... Ari Haswari: People who blow themselves apart to kill their enemies have lower expectations... Gibbs: How do you sell Marta as a double agent? Ari Haswari: My men the FBI permitted to escape... they know the effort I put into this operation, buying Smokey Sam's... kidnapping Agent Todd so I could identify Marine 1... and when they search Marta's apartment they will find money and documents traceable to Mossad... Hamas will believe me... Al Qaeda is more wary... Gibbs: They don't believe you... you're dead... Ari Haswari: Yes... and if they do... I may learn what they plan as the next 9/11... would you risk losing that opportunity over pride? Gibbs: It's not pride... Ari Haswari: If not pride then what? Love of country... Sense of duty? I'm sure they exist in you... but what burns is pride my friend... shalom... Gibbs: (Shoots Ari in the shoulder) Just wanted to help you convince Al Qaeda. DiNozzo: I'm sorry I took a long lunch, Boss, but I was working a hot case. Gibbs: What's a hot case to you, DiNozzo? Shadowing a tight a**? DiNozzo: That's not fair, Boss. Gibbs: War is not fair! And we are at war. Until I dismiss you, which could be any moment now, you will fight that war 24/7. That includes eating, sleeping, taking a crap. Got that? DiNozzo: Yes, Boss. Can I say something? Gibbs: Only if it has something to do with that bastard I'm after! DiNozzo: It does.

Gibbs: Then speak! DiNozzo: Boss... You've really gotta see Moby Dick. Kate: Tony. He's fixated on that terrorist. Tony: Not fixated; determined. Like Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive. Like the Duke in The Searchers. Mel Gibson in Payback. Kate:You ever read a book?
