Quotes 

• Abby Sciuto : Are you drinking tea?

  Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Yeah, don't tell, Ducky. He'll give me a lecture on brewing.

• Abby Sciuto : I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know who my parents were. I'm just like - Little Orphan Abby.

  Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Abs, you're still the same person. Your parents are still your parents as you remember them. Family's more than just - DNA. It's about... people who care and take care of each other.

  Abby Sciuto : I know. But why didn't they tell me I was adopted? I mean, there's gotta be a reason, I need to find out before I completely turn Luca and Kyle's lives upside down.

  Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : You don't have to do this alone, Abby. You've got a family and we'll help you through it.

• Abby Sciuto : This whole brother/sister thing it didn't make any sense to me. I mean, Kyle and me, our DNA is a total match. So we have to have the same biological parents. So then I was like - what? Did they give him up for adoption. I can't imagine the wonderful loving parents that raised me and Luca *ever* giving up a child. But they would have adopted a child - and they did - me... I'm adopted, Gibbs.

• Abby Sciuto : That's why she was amazed she found a brother and sister willing to donate.

  Dr. Donald Mallard : Your brother also volunteered?

  Abby Sciuto : No! I spoke to Luca. He doesn't know anything about it.

  Dr. Donald Mallard : I'm confused. Why does the transplant co-ordinator think you and this man are - siblings?

  Abby Sciuto : As part of the screening process, we had to give a miochondrial DNA sample. Ours was a dead on match, Ducky - more than 99.9%. I mean we have to be full on brother and sister, right? I pressed the co-ordinator for details on the guy, like his name and address, but she clammed up. Saying she said too much already.

• Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : That's a lot of responsibility. What are you going to do with it?

  Abby Sciuto : I want to meet him.

  Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Okay... You sure you want to open that door?

  Abby Sciuto : ...Yeah.

  Special Agent Jethro Gibbs : Okay. You want me to go with you?

  Abby Sciuto : [Long pause]  I think... I think this is something I have to do on my own.
