Last Man Standing (2008)

Michael Nouri: Director Eli David

Quotes 

• Eli David : You know, Leon, sometimes those who know ask me directly, the brave among them. But most of the time, the others, I can feel them looking at me and silently wondering, "how can a father possibly raise his daughter to be a professional killer?"

  NCIS Director Leon Vance : A question that I've never asked you because I know the answer.

  Eli David : Every day is a fight to survive. It is my dream that my daughter will not have to make that decision with her sons and her daughters. I would like my grandchildren to be doctors and architects, to live a happy life, to grow fat and old. You want her back, don't you?

  NCIS Director Leon Vance : Yes, Eli, I want her back.

  Eli David : Tell me, Leon, are we winning?

  NCIS Director Leon Vance : ...I don't know, Eli.

  Eli David : I like to think we are... and then there's something else: a bomb, a kidnapping, an atrocity. Use her well, Leon. Ziva is the sharp end of the spear.
