Quotes 

• Nina Barnes : Are you married?

  Marty Deeks : Huh?

  Nick Torres : No.

  Nina Barnes : Girlfriend?

  Nick Torres : It's complicated.

  Marty Deeks : What is happening here? Can we focus?

  Nina Barnes : Yeah, I *am* focused. On cinnamon buns here.

  Marty Deeks : Oh.

  Nick Torres : Oh, right.

  Nina Barnes : So, what makes you such a special agent?

  Marty Deeks : This is happening.

• Marty Deeks : They've already kidnapped an NCIS agent. They're probably torturing him as we speak!

  Nina Barnes : Is he always this high strung?

  Nick Torres : I just met him.

  Nina Barnes : Mmmm. I'm sorry for your loss.

• Marty Deeks : What does he need sniper rifle for?

  Nina Barnes : Didn't you just say there are highly skilled operatives trying to kill him? Hello! Aren't you supposed to be a detective?

  Marty Deeks : Was a detective. Now I'm an investigator.

  Nick Torres : Wait? You're not a special agent? Huh.

  Nina Barnes : This is awkward.

• Marty Deeks : Nina, this is special agent Nick Torres. He's also with NCIS, except for he's from fancy pants Washington. When's the last time you spoke with or saw Kilbride?

  Nina Barnes : Who wants to know?

  Marty Deeks : I do. I literally - I literally just asked you.

  Nina Barnes : Sorry, I'm not at liberty to discuss that. Doctor client privilege.

  Nick Torres : Wait, you're a doctor?

  Nina Barnes : Yeah, I have a PhD in military history, so yes.

• Nick Torres : You haven't arrested her because?

  Marty Deeks : That's a good question. She's retired. She's been helpful on other cases, but most importantly, she has shared history with Admiral Kilbride.

  Nick Torres : Shared history? What kind of history? Professional? Sexual?

  Marty Deeks : What?

  Nick Torres : Yeah? No?

  Marty Deeks : I don't know. Oh, now I've got that in my head.

• Nina Barnes : I also put in an extra dozen of red velvet cupcakes.

  Marty Deeks : Oh, he brought those to work. I knew that was weird.

  Nina Barnes : They're good, right?

  Marty Deeks : I don't know. I have a gluten allergy.

  Nick Torres : Of course.

  Nina Barnes : Yeah.

  Marty Deeks : What does that mean?

• Nick Torres : Oh, yeah, that's right. They warned me. You're the sensitive one.

  Marty Deeks : Who? Who warned you? That I was - *I'm* not the sensitive one. No, that's definitely Sam. Yeah, that's definitely Sam. You know, big and tough on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. He's like a - like a human Hot Pocket.

  Nick Torres : Like a Hot Pocket.

  Marty Deeks : Yeah.

  Nick Torres : I like that.

  Marty Deeks : No, I'm more of a street dog, a lone wolf.

  Nick Torres : Oh, sure. Of course.

  [chuckles] 

  Nick Torres : Yeah, that explains the lack of grooming.
