- Jimmy Palmer: I'm just test driving for my big date. I'm also trying on disposable contact lens.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Change is good Mr. Palmer, as long as you are the motivation for the change.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs enters] Ugh. Smells like a French whorehouse in here!
- Jimmy Palmer: Uh, that's me.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: What are you trying to do, Palmer? Raise the dead?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Aren't you hot?
- Ziva David: Been told that before.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Talking about temperature.
- Ziva David: Stop complaining! This is what winter feels like in Israel.
- Margaret Allison Hart: You really want to talk to her?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. I want some answers. I want the truth.
- Margaret Allison Hart: Hmph. Law School 101. Truth's overrated.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: The case will never stick, right?
- Margaret Allison Hart: You just made a very big mistake!
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. You won.
- Margaret Allison Hart: Did I?
- Ziva David: Ma'am I'd like you to meet,uh, Special Agent Gibbs.
- Joann: Jethro?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Hey Joann.
- Ziva David: You two know each other?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Agent David, Joann Fielding. My mother-in-law.
- Joann: *Ex*-mother-in-law.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Shannon's mom.
- Joann: Kelly's grandmom.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Uh oh.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Yeah. Big time.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: He compliment me, twice.
- Ziva David: [Ziva chuckles slightly] Very un-Gibbs.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: We better keep an eye on that guy. Don't you agree Director?
- Leon Vance: Is that your decision Agent DiNozzo?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: It's not mine to make, sir.
- Leon Vance: You got that right!
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Leon, we've all lost people. It was a long time ago.
- Leon Vance: Don't give me that B.S. Gibbs! I know what pushes your buttons. This could be a problem.
- Leon Vance: We think she set him up. Both men linked to the same cartel responsible for Shannon and Kelly's deaths.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Really, Leon? Make her awfully clever; my mother-in-law, the vigilante.
- Leon Vance: Go ahead Gibbs. Cross it. Try me.
- Ziva David: This is a great work of art.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh yeah what do yah got there... new Judy Blume? 'Are you there God? It's me, Margaret'.
- Ziva David: This my friend is the Declaration of Independence. My citizenship test is coming up and I wish to pass with swimming colors.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Flying colors.
- Ziva David: Any colors will do, McGee.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [entering Vance's office, after interviewing Joann] This won't take long.
- Leon Vance: I'll be the judge of that.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Protocol. I am related to the victim.
- Leon Vance: Mm-hmm.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: S.O.P. is for you to ask me to step aside.
- Leon Vance: Okay, I'm asking.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Okay. I'm declining.
- Leon Vance: She was Shannon's mother. This is another violent crime. It has to affect you.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Leon, we've all lost people. It was a long time ago.
- Leon Vance: Don't give me that b.s., Gibbs. I know what pushes your buttons.
- [Gibbs has a flashback of Shannon and Kelly]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [entering the restroom where Gibbs is] Sorry, boss. Uh... Detective McCadden is here.
- [Gibbs takes time to dry his face]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You need anything?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You to, uh... to leave.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Right.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Put that insidious device away, Mr. Palmer. This is a crime scene not a chat room.
- Jimmy Palmer: Sorry, Doctor. It's just... it's just that she texted me "yes."
- Dr. Donald Mallard: *What*?
- [They both laugh delightedly, and Ducky claps Palmer on the shoulder]
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Oh, splendid! Splendid!
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: This is about the murder of Joseph Norton, Joann.
- Joann: Well do your damn job, Jethro! Nothing ever stopped you *before*. Nothing's gonna stop you now!
- Abby Sciuto: If Major Mass Spec were a guy, I would totally marry him and bear his little Mini Mass children.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: You want to learn how to be a real man, McGee. You gotta study the Japanese Samurai. These guys are like Gibbs, with even bigger stones and less to say.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Is that even possible?
- Ziva David: Who are you seeing?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Kurosawa!
- Ziva David: Really? Did not know you were into Asian women.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Kurosawa's a dude.
- Ziva David: [laughs] I certainly did not know you were into Asian dudes.
