- Kensi Blye: [Hetty gives Kensi a gift] Oh, that is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
- Henrietta Lange: I figured you'd like it. Like you it's both feminine and deadly. Therein lies its true value.
- Kensi Blye: You think I'm feminine and deadly?
- Henrietta Lange: Among many things. It's what makes you so good at this job. The true challenge is knowing when to stop.
- Kensi Blye: What do you mean?
- Henrietta Lange: The job. The importance of what we do, the excitement of doing it. It makes it very difficult to give it up. When the day comes for you to hang up your gun...
- Kensi Blye: Oh?
- Henrietta Lange: And it will. You're going to want to come home to something more than a collection of antique weapons.
- Kensi Blye: Unfortuneately, most of the guys I meet... are trying to shoot me.
- Henrietta Lange: Not to worry. Sometimes you find them, or sometimes they find you. You just have to keep your eyes open
- Kensi Blye: Feel free to dazzle me with your detective skills anytime.
- Marty Deeks: Heh. You couldn't handle my skills.
- Kensi Blye: Oh? I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
- Marty Deeks: That's classy.
- Henrietta Lange: You know, it's been a *very* long time since I have heard you laugh, Sam. Hell, life itself can be absurd. But you have to embrace it. If you can't smile now, how can you possibly laugh in the face of death?
- Sam Hanna: Hetty, why are you telling me this?
- Henrietta Lange: As a sailor, Sam, you know the importance of a solid anchor. You have your faith, your family, your sense of humor. Mr. Callen doesn't think he needs anyone. He does. He *needs* you. You're his anchor. And I sense there's a storm coming.
- Sam Hanna: Hetty, you're a lot of things, but a psychic isn't one of them. You want to level with me?
- Henrietta Lange: I just did.
- Henrietta Lange: Being in charge *sucks*, Mr. Callen. Everyone looks to you for guidance and answers - even when you have none to give.
- G. Callen: Well, I've never known you to *ever* be at a loss for words.
- Henrietta Lange: The true test of a commander is when is as frightened and confused as those who look up to him. In that moment, when you can't fine it in yourself, you will find it in them. That's leadership.
- Nell Jones: Oh, actually, Detective, Hetty asked if she could speak with you... alone.
- Kensi Blye: Ooo. Someone's in trouble
- Marty Deeks: Yeah, right.
- Sam Hanna: Just remember the distress word.
- G. Callen: Yeah. If that doesn't work, just feint a seizure.
- [Callen and Sam leave]
- Marty Deeks: I'm not in trouble. I'm not in trouble.
- [Quietly to Kensi]
- Marty Deeks: Hey, am I in trouble?
- Sam Hanna: [Callen and Sam enter. To Bouncer] Don't get up.
- Bouncer: [Bouncer stands up and blocks their path] Mr. Fallon's busy and you guys need a warrant. So I suggest you turn around and
- [Bouncer pokes Sam. Sam gets Bouncer into a arm lock and slams him to the bar. Callen continues on]
- Sam Hanna: I said "Don't get up."
- Mr. Fallon: [Callen enters Fallon's room. He's watching videos] Hey! I told you, you need a warrant!
- G. Callen: We had probable cause, and you need a lawyer.
- G. Callen: You avoiding me?
- Henrietta Lange: If I wanted to avoid you, Mr. Callen, you wouldn't find me.
- G. Callen: Something I can do?
- Henrietta Lange: No. No. This one's stuck squarely in my lap, I'm afrai. Oh it -it's just all a bunch of bureaucratic nonsense anyway. We must take it all with a grain of salt.
- G. Callen: I find that it helps if the salt is followed by a shot of tequila and some lime.
- Henrietta Lange: I like the way you think, Mr. Callen.
- Marty Deeks: Wow. Heh. I'm uh, I'm flattered - Hetty. Thank you, but I just don't know if this is the right thing for me right now. Well, because I'm a cop. And I think it's more than what I do, it's who I am.
- Henrietta Lange: I understand. But things do change. And uh, when they do, it pays to be ready. Keep it. In case you ever change your mind. I've signed and dated it, so it's ready when you're ready.
- [Deeks leaves]
- Henrietta Lange: What about my segway?
- Star: A lot of people want a better life for themselves, and dream of being someone they're not. Star sounds a lot better than Sarah Anne Shulman from Tunahannock, Pennsylvania.
- Marty Deeks: I don't know about that. Sarah Anne sounds pretty to me.
- Star: Are you two like - together together?
- Marty Deeks: Is it that obvious?
- Kensi Blye: No! We're just partners.
- Marty Deeks: With privilges.
- Kensi Blye: Oh, *definitely* not!
- Kensi Blye: [about a gift Hetty gave to Kensi] No, it's just something Hetty's getting rid of.
- Marty Deeks: Really?
- Kensi Blye: Yeah, but you have to be careful. Be -
- [Deeks triggers the switch revealing the blade]
- Marty Deeks: Mm hmm. You two scare me.
- Kensi Blye: ...Good.
- Marty Deeks: One day, Sam, this dog will save your life. I think somebody owes Monty an apology.
- Sam Hanna: Okay. Nice work, mutt.
- Kensi Blye: That's not very nice.
- Sam Hanna: I was talking to Deeks.
- Marty Deeks: Thanks.
- Sam Hanna: [Deeks brings in Monty the police dog] You sure that's a police dog and not a specimen.
- G. Callen: Seriously Deeks, at least get him a pair of pants, all right?
- Marty Deeks: Just ignore them, Monty. They're jealous of me too.
- G. Callen: [about Hetty] Why would she be worried about me?
- Sam Hanna: You can be a worrisome guy.
- [Sam chuckles]
- Sam Hanna: She pulled me aside - wanted to talk about it today.
- Kensi Blye: Me too. But not about you. It - we had a real heart-to-heart today - about the future.
- Marty Deeks: Me three. She's talking about things changing.
- G. Callen: Guys. She's putting her affairs in order.
