- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: And the duress word is...?
- NCIS Special Agent Dominic Vail: Uh, uh.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: He who hesistates... is lost, Dominic. In your line of work, dead.
- NCIS Special Agent Dominic Vail: Uh, "shadows."
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: And with the utterance of that single word the cavalry will race to the rescue. Let's hope they don't get caught in traffic.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: Know when it's going to be ready?
- Operational Psychologist Nate Getz: I don't know.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: Who knows?
- Operational Psychologist Nate Getz: Hetty.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: You want to ask her?
- Operational Psychologist Nate Getz: You're armed. You ask her.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: You're the psychologist.
- Operational Psychologist Nate Getz: Look, I've been trained to profile suspect, and brief you operationally. And with 3 years of college, 2 more to get my Masters and my Doctorate and when it comes to Hetty... clueless.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: I don't I - I think I like the boat idea better. I could just kind of sail off.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: Do you know how to sail?
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: No.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: Well that could be a problem.
- Operational Psychologist Nate Getz: [Speaking of the Director] You know, he doesn't believe it for a second. He's *never* going to stop looking for her. Even if he drives a stake through her heart, and buries her. He's still going to wake up in the middle of the night, wondering if she's hiding under his bed. Just... irrational fear, it does... strange things to people
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: Well don't worry about it, Dom. Still some things you have to learn on the job.
- NCIS Special Agent Kensi Blye: Yeah, with a knife closely pressed to your ear by a bad guy who is convinced you are a cop.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: This is one fight Kai is not going to win.
- [Vance walks away]
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: I think he's met her before.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: Yeah. And she won.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: It's her isn't it? Kai.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Yeah. First met her in Prague, in 1984. Then Tokyo 7 years later. 3 times since then, Sierre Leone, Paris and New York City. She left a body count every time. I should have been in that count in Prague. I was green. I got lucky.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: She you nemesis, Leon?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Only if she buries me.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: Then we must ensure that *doesn't* happen.
- Forensic Scientist Abby Sciuto: All right, I will call you as soon as I find something.
- Tech Operator Eric Beal: Cool. See ya, Abby.
- Forensic Scientist Abby Sciuto: One day, Eric. One day.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Do you believe him?
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: He's a bureaucrat. Sam thinks I have deep-seated suspcion of them.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: I'm a bureaucrat, Agent Callen.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: I don't have a-a deep-seated suspicion of you, Director.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Well, I'm pleased to hear that's the case.
- Jimmy Su: Daniel loved America. He said that one day of happiness here, was worth a hundred days of sadness in our country. I will not relocate. I will not change my name. Do you understand?
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: We get it.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Tell me I didn't pass you in the foyer.
- Lee Wuan Kai: No, but close. You haven't changed since New York, Leon.
