- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Yeah, it's funny til someone plunges to their death.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh come on! Still with the height thing? You gotta get over that man!
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: You don't just get over irrational fears. They're *irrational*!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: We gotta find out what he was doing up here.
- Officer Ziva David: And with whom he was doing it.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Doing what?
- Officer Ziva David: Whatever it was he was doing when he was undone.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Done? What?
- Officer Ziva David: Done!
- [Ziva leaves]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Wait...
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: In. My dear fellow. Done in. Don't you understand the Queen's English?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Not *this* queen.
- NCIS Assistant Director Leon Vance: So you saw a man with a gun and decided to chase after him?
- Jimmy Palmer: No! I chased after him, *then* I saw the gun!
- NCIS Assistant Director Leon Vance: Can't tell if you're dumb or brave.
- Jimmy Palmer: Not brave enough.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: So we got a struggle and a dead guy.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Struggle over what?
- Officer Ziva David: Over the edge.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He's not a field agent.
- NCIS Assistant Director Leon Vance: He's a member of your team.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He works for Ducky.
- NCIS Assistant Director Leon Vance: Ducky works for you.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Something *bugging* you, Leon?
- NCIS Assistant Director Leon Vance: Yeah. Director's back end of the week. I wanna go home. I miss my kids. I miss San Diego. Missed my *damned* flight because of this case. I just want it solve it so I can leave!
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Works for me!
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: How is Mr. Palmer?... I really miss his assistance. You never fully appreciate someone until they're not here.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hah, he'll be all right.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Jimmy may not have had a good look at the shooter, but I fear the shooter may have had a good look at him.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Duck, you let me worry about the shooter.
- Abby Sciuto: One time I got my lip stuck in a vacuum cleaner display in a department store. I lost like a quart of saliva before my cousin pulled the plug. Still have nightmares about it. Can't be alone with Apa-Filter.
- Jimmy Palmer: How old were you?
- Abby Sciuto: 22. It was like Fat Tuesday or Arbor Day.
- Jimmy Palmer: You have captured his essence pefectly. His... anger. His intent. Uh, his bloodlust.
- Abby Sciuto: His likeness? It's his likeness. That's kind of the point here. You know what? Let's just start over. Okay, he was a white guy, right?
- Abby Sciuto: Jimmy, you chased a crazy guy with a gun. You're a... stud muffin. You're an iron fist in a velvet glove. You're Baby Gibbs.
- Jimmy Palmer: Did we learn anything about this guy?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: No. But we certainly learned something about you.
- Jimmy Palmer: Whatever it is. It's not what you think
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: If the shoe fits.
- [starts to leave]
- Jimmy Palmer: Wait, wait! Where are you going?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: These boots were made for walking.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I have no doubt that you have it in you to die a hero's death. But for the time being. I'd appreciate it if you could stay alive to help me examine the dead.
- Jimmy Palmer: How do you do it?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hmm?
- Jimmy Palmer: Block out the fear.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You don't. It's what you do with it.
- [Jimmy pulls up to a suspect's home after being told to stay at NCIS]
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What are you doing here?
- Jimmy Palmer: I thought I could help.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What part of stay don't you understand? Stay! Palmer, you stay in the car!
- [while Gibbs and the team are busy Jimmy notices the suspect about to escape and rams his car]
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [after disarming the suspect; yelling] What the hell were you thinking?
- Jimmy Palmer: I did *not* get out of the car.
- Jimmy Palmer: [about the passport he saw] Let's see. It was blue, dark blue.
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: Yes, you've managed to narrow it down to the most popular color in the world.
- Jimmy Palmer: How did you handle the first time you got shot at?
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: [looks awkward] Well... I'm a highly trained federal agent so it's really not a fair comparison.
