Peter Cambor: Nate Getz
Quotes
-
Nate Getz : You think I can pull off a bow tie?
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Not without a red rubber nose, and those *big* floppy shoes.
-
Nate Getz : [Referring to his tie] Should I get it dry cleaned?
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Well that's an option.
Nate Getz : Soda water?
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : I'd recommend either donation or incineration. Not in that order.
Nate Getz : You don't like the tie? It - it was a gift.
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Obviously not from a loved one.
-
Nate Getz : You're wondering about the suit?
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Oh, no. A man doesn't need an excuse to be fashionable. And besides, you look so professional.
Nate Getz : I tried the whole West Coast casual thing, and I think it was working against me. You know, with the agents.
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Ah.
Nate Getz : I know undercover work is difficult and dangerous, and I know they've been forced to take on roles and do things that they're not proud of. But they think that burying memories is better than talking about them.
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : [giving Nate a new tie] Come, let's try a half Windsor this time. It can make such a difference. There you go. You know, in my experience, if you're patient, sooner or later the people who need to talk will seek you out. Often under the guise of some other intention. You just have to listen.

Nate Getz : Hey, listen to this. "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God."
Special Agent Kensi Blye : Sounds like the Koran quote Olin put on his car.
Nate Getz : It's essentially the same, only this is from Thessalonians.
[realization dawns on Nate]
Nate Getz : Oh, boy.
Special Agent Kensi Blye : What?
Nate Getz : The bible was a gift from Olin.
[Kensi shrugs her confusion]
Nate Getz : Giving away prized possessions, it's a warning sign of suicide. Olin doesn't want to harm innocent people. He wants to punish himself and those in his unit out of some strange, twisted sense of penance.

Special Agent G. Callen : Uh huh, you backed into Hetty's jag.
Special Agent Sam Hanna : Again.
Nate Getz : No! Don't even kid about that.
-
Nate Getz : [as Sam's working on a bomb] The million dollar question is: do *you* know what you're doing?
Special Agent Sam Hanna : Oh, this is not good.
Nate Getz : Sam?
Special Agent Sam Hanna : He hid a secondary micro detonator inside. It has a mercury switch. Don't anybody move.
Special Agent G. Callen : [pause. Callen enters behind Nate] HEY!
[Nate spills his drink on his shirt]
Special Agent G. Callen : Oops. Sorry about that.
