Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : I gotta tell you, Jethro. That was... that was...
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Mmm-hmm.
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : How in God's name could we have missed that?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : I don't think God had much to do with it, Tobias.
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : You know what's really got me freaked out? If her husband's body hadn't gotten hung up going down that chimney five years ago, she'd still be out there. We'd never have caught her.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : I can do you one better than that.
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : No. Can't top that, Jethro.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : What was a toe doing in her husband's stomach?
-
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : [referring to the case] No hard feelings Jethro?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Nope, just need you to look at something before you leave.
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : You've got that mustache in a box, don't you?
-
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : You know how I feel about apologies.
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : It's a sign of weakness.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Not among friends. I'm sorry, Ducky. I should've told you about Shannon and Kelly.
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : I should have told you something months ago. Welcome home, Jethro.
-
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Oh, only slightly more than a lot.
-
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : You two done playing grab-ass yet?
Officer Ziva David : Oh, he started it.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Yeah? I'm ending it.
-
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : And the moral of course is...
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : It's never a good idea to get married.
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : No, it's best not to judge someone until all the facts are in.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : I like mine better.
-
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : I was on the team that nailed Ted Bundy, Gibbs. I know something about sick, charming bastards.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : That's probably why we get along so well.
-
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [as McGee and Abby are explaining the process they used to electronically rehydrate the mummy's head] McGee, less talk. More of the computer chip doo-dah.
Special Agent Timothy McGee : Making with the doo-dah, Boss.
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : Doo-dah?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Yeah. It's a technical term, Tobias.
-
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : He was stabbed repeatedly and fatally.
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : With *what*? A safety pin?
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : As I explained, the shrinkage of the flesh is deceptive. Most likely it was an icepick or philips head screwdriver.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Somebody killed your serial killer, Fornell.
NCIS Director Jenny Shepard : On a Marine base! Which means it is still *our* jurisdiction!
[She tears up the order to transfer the case to the FBI]
-
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [handing him the suspect's address] There you go, Fornell.
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : You're handing the case over?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : No, just want you to get the search warrant for me.
-
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : It amazes me how the truly sick ones are always the best liked. Pillars of the community.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : They're successful because they blend in, Tobias. They go to church, they coach Little League baseball...
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell : I was on the team that nailed Bundy, Gibbs. I'm familiar with sick, charming bastards.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : That's probably why we get along so well.

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : I've seen a lot of things since I became a cop, Ziva, but this... a guy tortures and murders 19 women, then gets off on eating their toes. Whoever whacked this sick freak did us and the world a favor.
Officer Ziva David : And our job is to arrest them. Makes perfect sense to me.
Special Agent Timothy McGee : Justified or not, it's still a crime, Ziva. In this country, you cannot take the law into your own hands.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Unless it's your little sister wanted for murder, right, Probie?
Special Agent Timothy McGee : You know what I mean.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : [shows a photo of one of the victims] What if this was your sister?
[shows another]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Or her?
Special Agent Timothy McGee : My point is that we cannot just investigate the crimes that we want to.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [entering] McGee's right. Does anybody have a problem with that?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : No, boss, it's just...
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Just what, DiNozzo?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Some days this job really sucks.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [as Fornell and Sacks enter] Yeah? Well' it's about to get worse. Ziva, you and Tony are with Sacks on this one.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Doing what?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Coming up with a list of people who wanted Bright dead.
Officer Ziva David : Besides everyone in this room?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Except for McLawyer over there.

[at the crime scene]
Miles Larson : We've pulled rats, cats, and birds out of chimneys before, Agent Gibbs. Hell, one time even a St. Bernard! But this is my first mummy. Reminds me of that urban legend.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Which one's that?
Miles Larson : Guy dresses up like Santa - you know, for Christmas Eve - to surprise his girlfriend. But he never shows. She's convinced that the bastard dumped her, bad-mouths him all over town...
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : Until they find the poor soul's body months later, still clutching the little box with her shiny new engagement ring.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [to Tony and Ziva] You two done playing grab-ass yet?
Officer Ziva David : Oh, he started it.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Well, I'm ending it.
