Quotes 

• May Dawson : Jody still won't eat. Sounds funny, but you know, they get depressed.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Yeah, I've seen that before. My daughter, Kelly, she used to ride down by the beach. There was this stable near the water, owned by an old Korean War vet. He started calling her Sergeant Reckless.

  May Dawson : After the war horse. Why?

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : One summer, his wife died, and her horse wouldn't ride, wouldn't eat. Kelly noticed that, and she made it her project. Horse ignored her. But she kept going back. Every day.

  May Dawson : Until the horse started eating.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Mm-hmm. She knew that that horse just needed a buddy.

  May Dawson : Sergeant Reckless, because like the war horse, your daughter was a lifesaver. So horse sense runs in the family.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : No. Uh, that was all her.

  May Dawson : I saw the way that you were with Jody yesterday. You're just what he needs to break his funk.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Funk?

  May Dawson : Everybody here has already tried everything; this horse is as stubborn as they come, and I think he's finally met his match, Gibbs. At least I hope so, anyways, if you're willing. A horse that doesn't eat dies.

• May Dawson : Well, what do you know? Good to have you back, pal. What changed, huh?

  [seeing Gibbs in the stable] 

  May Dawson : Gibbs, you've been here all night?

  [he shrugs] 

  May Dawson : What did you do?

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : What?

  May Dawson : He's eating. Tell me what you did. I could get you a coffee or an aspirin. That's a mighty hard floor.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [standing up and walking to pet Jody]  No. We don't mind. Do we, Jody? He just needed a buddy.

• Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [tracking the suspect vehicle]  You know your trucks.

  May Dawson : I own trucks. Got them and the horses in the divorce. He got everything else.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : What else is there?

  May Dawson : His 23-year-old assistant.

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [laughs]  You got the better part of that deal.

  May Dawson : Damn right. I don't have to have dinner with the horse's sorority sisters.
