- Eli David: With traffic, I wasn't expecting you for another hour.
- Officer Ziva David: I drove.
- Eli David: Enough said.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: [Watching DiNozzo being interviewed by Eli] Son of a bitch! How many times did I tell DiNozzo to leave his smart ass attitude back in D.C.?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You should've checked his bags.
- Eli David: Your Agent Gibbs is making my people very nervous.
- Mossad Officer Amit Hadar: He slipped through security. Any idea where he might be going?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Knowing Gibbs, coffee run. Man practically main lines caffeine.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: [Entering Gibbs's basement] Jethro, forgive the intrusion.
- [notices the boat is missing from the basement]
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: How did you possibly manage to -?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Aw geez, Duck. You gonna ask me that every time?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I can't believe I'm telling you this. Tony's going to kill me.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not if Mossad gets to him first.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Well, you don't think the Director's going to just hand him over?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Got a problem, McGee?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: You mean apart from Tony killing Ziva's friend and Ziva's apartment blowing up? No. No problem at all.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Good. Then shoot.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Doesn't add up. DiNozzo's more a brawler. Rivkin was kidon.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Ah, I thought you'd never ask.
- Officer Ziva David: [Referring to DiNozzo] Officer Hadar will not harm him. Only two people have the authority to do that.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Your father's one. Second?
- Officer Ziva David: Me.
- Officer Ziva David: [Referring to DiNozzo] I'm not sure we can work together. Perhaps it is best if one of us gets transferred to another team.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Transferred?
- Officer Ziva David: I need to be able to trust the people that I work with. I know you more than anyone understand that.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [pause. Kisses Ziva on the cheek] Take care of yourself.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I know this decision must not have come easily.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It wasn't my decision.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: But Tony said...
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No, it was Ziva's. From the moment she asked me to choose.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: My gut told me it was Rivkin, not Ziva. Sometimes my gut just... sucks. But if Ziva knew something, I wanted to give her a chance to explain it to me.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: To protect her.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: If she needed it.
- Mossad Officer Amit Hadar: [to Ziva] Rivkin was in chaos. You knew. And yet you decided not to tell your father. You tried to protect Rivkin. But in truth, you are the reason he is dead.
- Officer Ziva David: You jeopardized your entire career and for what?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: For you... He was playing you, Ziva.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: But you took to Ziva more quickly than to any other agent before her. Timothy, Caitlin, even DiNozzo. I've always sensed there's a strong bond between the two of you. Something shared perhaps.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: I know you don't want to hear this, Gibbs. But now, you have to trust me. And if you're right about Ziva's alligence to you, she'll serve us well in Mossad.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, and if you're right about her father... we'll never see her again.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Okay, why don't you just get this out? You want to take a punch? Take a swing? Get it out of your system!
- [Yelling]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Go ahead do it!
- Officer Ziva David: Be careful, Tony. Because much like Michael, I only need *one*.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: And that's what you're really angry about, isn't it? That's what's bothering you. It's not that he's dead. It's that your Mossad boyfriend got his ass kicked by a chump like me.
- Officer Ziva David: Hadar set the fire.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Covering for Rivkin.
- Officer Ziva David: I was betrayed by Mossad, by my father, by Tony. Who's next? You?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I guess you read my report.
- Officer Ziva David: I memorized it! You could have left it at that! You could have walked away, but no. You let him up! You put a bullet in his chest.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You weren't there.
- Officer Ziva David: You could have put one in his leg.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You... weren't... there.
- Officer Ziva David: But I should have been.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You loved him.
- Officer Ziva David: I guess I'll never know.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Well, when is she coming back?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: She's not.
- Abby Sciuto: No! This cannot happen! Vance cannot do this *again*!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: It wasn't Vance's call.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Then who?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Let me make it easy for you, Gibbs. You made the right call.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I wasn't asking your opinion, Leon.
- [Starts to leave]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Just who the Hell do you think you're talking to?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs slams the Director's door shut. And walks back] That's a damn good question! I've been wondering about that for a while!
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You know you spend half your time second guessing me, studying me, testing me.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'm looking for answers.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: It'd help if you ask the damn questions!... There's the rub. You don't have a clue what to ask. You don't trust me but you don't know why.
