- Abby Sciuto: [in the bullpen, McGee has her on speakerphone] Which one of you wants to be "Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs!"?
- T.C. Fornell: [Gibbs is chopping wood] What do we do next? Bang drums? Sweat lodge? Squirrel juggling?
- [Gibbs hands Fornell the axe]
- T.C. Fornell: Oh really? You think it's a good idea to hand me an axe right now?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: So you called me?
- T.C. Fornell: I figured I could count on you for the shortest lecture.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Bourbon, Tobias?
- T.C. Fornell: I barely cracked it. It was mainly the beer I had with dinner mixed with the pain meds that I still take for when you shot me in the ass.
- Emily Fornell: I've got debate quarter finals in an hour.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: High school debate?
- Emily Fornell: I am varsity captain as a freshman. Arguing is pretty much in my blood.
- Anthony DiNozzo: Gibbs would never bail on a case, much less a Sergei case, and much much less at my suggestion.
