- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I better make sure they don't notice me.
- [Gibbs leaves]
- Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: That is *not* a good call.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Relax. You think Gibbs keeps that haircut to save on shampoo?
- [Tony has just made a covert dropoff disguised as a Chinese restaurant delivery guy]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [on phone] Delivery complete.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [on phone] That's good work, Tony.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Thanks, Boss, that means a lot.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: NCIS doesn't work out, I hear General Wi's Chinese Restaurant's hiring.
- Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: McGee, can't you tell when someone's kidding with you?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I used to and then I met you guys.
- Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: [Gibbs takes a sip of his coffee] Gibbs, it's like a hundred degrees in here. How can you drink that stuff?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It keeps me cool.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You inside his computer yet?
- Abby Sciuto: Oh, um, I... I think, um...
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Need help?
- Abby Sciuto: Yeah.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: All you had to do was ask. One of the smartest people I know told me that once.
- Abby Sciuto: Who?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I want her listening to the live feed.
- Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: Gibbs! She's been traumatized enough!

- Sandy Watson: There's someone at the front door, Mom.
- [pause; doorbell rings]
- Julie Watson: [laughing] Show-off! Let's go.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Next thing I want you to do is hack into Watson's computer. It's the only link we have to the kidnapper.
- Abby Sciuto: Gibbs, we are talking about the Pentagon here. Even their encryptions have encryptions.
- Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: McGee, can't you tell when somebody's kidding with you?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I used to, and then I met you guys.
- Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: If you want to work with Gibbs, then you're going to have to get over that. Trust me, I know.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Damn, McGee! Why are you still here?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: [stammering] Uh, the, the, the contractors, they won't wire the network until the air conditioning's fixed. It, it's a union thing. So...
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: So-o-o-o... you decided it's more important for an NCIS Special Agent to crawl around, all day, by yourself?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [standing behind Gibbs] Man asked you a question.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: [stammering] Why, uh, no, I just, I wanted it fixed before I returned to Norfolk.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. You have any idea where thinking like this is gonna lead you?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah, do you, McGee?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Promotion. You need any help, you ask Tony here. Looks like he could use a workout.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Uh, it... it... it's not that difficult. So I, uh, I guess I could do it myself.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Good answer.
- Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: Don't let him intimidate you, McGee. That's my job today.
- [Abby's computer overheats and crashes]
- Abby Sciuto: No, no, no, no! No! No! Aahh! My baby just french-fried!

- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You know, I could really get used to that.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [air conditioner kicks in] Oh ho! Oh ho ho! Oh ho ho ho ho ho!

- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: to a full time field agent.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Really? That's incredible! What's...
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You belong to *me* now!
- Abby Sciuto: [after her computer overheats] Gibbs, not every computer problem can be solved by rebooting it.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [holding up his cell phone] Works for me.
- Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: [reading from note smuggled out by hostage] "... Contact NCIS. No one else."
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Finally, someone who appreciates us.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [to McGee re: Kate after McGee gives her a boost when she's in a skirt] I just have a little question that I want to ask you. Is she a pantyhose or a thong girl cause I'm thinking thong...
- [Kate hits him in the stomach]
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: What the hell is it?
- Abby Sciuto: Probably just some leftover bodily fluids.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Oh, is that all, it's disgusting.
- Donald Mallard: If you want to be a full time field agent Timothy, you are going to have to get used to sights like that.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Is this a common occurrence Ducky, dismembered bodies in barrels of alcohol?
- Donald Mallard: Now that you mention it, I did have a great uncle who drowned in a vat of alcohol.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
- Donald Mallard: Of course, he reportedly climbed out three times to go to the bathroom.
