- Agent Caitlin Todd: I thought you couldn't type.
- DiNozzo: I've decided to improve myself.
- Agent Caitlin Todd: Well, in that case, you might want to lose that shirt. It went out of style three years ago.
- DiNozzo: This from a girl who keeps a puka shell necklace in her purse.
- Agent Caitlin Todd: My grandma gave me those. Wait, you looked in my purse?
- DiNozzo: Sorry, did I say that out loud?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Tony, as far as I'm concerned, you're irreplaceable.
- Tony DiNozzo: I knew it, heh. I knew behind the whole Marine thing you really are... at heart...
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [as he walks by McGee who's sitting at DiNozzo's desk] Forget about it, McGee. He's still alive.
- [after Tony makes slurping noises with his drink & Gibbs frustrated being in rush hour traffic and annoyed by Tony throws his drinking cup out the window]
- Tony DiNozzo: That's littering
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Fine me.
- DiNozzo: Rush hour. Kind of a misnomer if you ask me.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I didn't.
- DiNozzo: I mean, it's not like anybody's really rushing anywhere and it always takes more than an hour. They should call it, like...
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: "Shut up and sit there before I shoot you hour."
- DiNozzo: I was thinking of something a little shorter.
- [DiNozzo slurps on drink, Gibbs throws cup out window]
- DiNozzo: That's littering.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Fine me.
- DiNozzo: Remember the good old days, Kate?
- Agent Caitlin Todd: What good old days?
- DiNozzo: When Gibbs would confide in us; treat us like peers?
- Agent Caitlin Todd: No!
- DiNozzo: Good, I thought I was the only one.
- Major Joe Sacco: [to trainee, after practice bomb explodes] Way to go, MacGyver, if that were real we'd be washing you off the streets of Baghdad right now. Never assume that timer is accurate. The bad guys watch movies, too.
- Tony DiNozzo: [while gibbs is driving down the back road] I think I'm going to puke.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Roll down a window!
- Agent Caitlin Todd: [to abby on the phone while Gibbs is driving down the back road] You're gonna have to speak up! Gibbs is apparently trying to kill us!
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [seeing Tony asleep at his desk] DINOZZO!
- DiNozzo: [sleepily] You'll have to speak louder, boss. I haven't been able to hear anything since that explosion yesterday.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: I reviewed Corporal Cohen's autopsy results from 2002. His body tissue had high concentrations of insect venom. Honey bees, to be exact.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Did it kill him?
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Unfortunately, no. Our young friend starved to death. And judging by the fat and muscle tissue loss, it happened over a period of weeks, if not months.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: That's the first good news I've heard all day.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Huh?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It means there's a chance Tony and Atlas are still alive.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: You'll find him, Jethro.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: That a question or a statement, Duck?
- [first lines]
- Vanessa the Waitress: [to bartender] I hate Happy Hour.
- [turns and walks away with tray of drinks]
- Vanessa the Waitress: Make a hole, people!
- Agent Caitlin Todd: So what can you tell me about Sacco's old unit?
- Abby Sciuto: Um, in '92 we were closing the base in the Philippines, and Sacco's E.O.D. team was in charge of clearing out the ammunition storage dumps.
- Agent Caitlin Todd: Do we know how big his unit was?
- Abby Sciuto: We could ask him, but in my experience, most men lie about that point.
- [They laugh]
- [walking away after interviewing a witness on an explosives disposal training range]
- Agent Caitlin Todd: He's hiding something.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Oh, yeah.
- Tony DiNozzo: The question is, what?
- Range Officer: [in background] Fire in the hole!
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You two might want to cover your...
- [Behind them, a helicopter blows up. Kate and Tony duck, Gibbs doesn't flinch]
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: ...ears.
- DiNozzo: Remember the good old days, Kate?
- Agent Caitlin Todd: What 'good old days'?
- DiNozzo: When Gibbs would confide in us and treat us like peers.
- Agent Caitlin Todd: No.
- DiNozzo: Good. I thought I was the only one.
- DiNozzo: Rule 9.
- Gunnery Sergeant Bill Atlas: What?
- DiNozzo: You know, those rules they teach you in the marine corps.
- Gunnery Sergeant Bill Atlas: What rules?
- DiNozzo: I always suspected Gibbs was making that stuff up. Well, rule 9 is: Never go anywhere without a knife.
