Quotes
-
Jack Sloane : [calling a tow truck] Looks like I'm not the only one stranded in this storm. They're gonna take over two hours to get here.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Could always be worse. Could still be outside.
Jack Sloane : Ah, I see you're a glass-half-full kind of guy.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : It depends what's in the glass.
-
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : I gotta go.
Jack Sloane : No problem. I'll just wait outside 'till a tow truck comes.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Why? Stay as long as you need to.
Jack Sloane : You're gonna leave a complete stranger alone in your house?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Yes.
Jack Sloane : I could rob you blind.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [tossing her the keys] Lock up when you're done.
-
Jack Sloane : [handing Gibbs his phone] Here you go.
[seeing his expression]
Jack Sloane : What?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : People usually comment on it.
Jack Sloane : Your flip phone? I love it. It's vintage.
[gesturing around the house]
Jack Sloane : Goes with your... style. The decor, the brick TV. It's all kind of retro chic. It's very "in" right now.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : I didn't know it went out.
-
Jack Sloane : Style is cyclical. I have to notice these things in my job.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Are you some kind of decorator?
Jack Sloane : No. I wish. Maybe in a past life. In this life, I'm a doctor.
[taking a sip of coffee]
Jack Sloane : Mmm. And what do you do?
[before he can say anything]
Jack Sloane : No, wait, wait, wait. Let me guess. You are a... carpenter. No, no, I got it. You... are a cowboy.
-
Jack Sloane : [showing up on Gibbs' doorstep] Don't worry. I'm not a weirdo. My car broke down around the corner, and my cell died, and it's a whole thing.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Uh, maybe I can fix your car. Let me get my tools.
Jack Sloane : Oh, no, no, no. Please. That's not necessary at all. It's a rental, so they'll... they'll just take care of it. I just need a phone to call a tow truck and I'll be out of your hair.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : D-do you drink coffee?
Jack Sloane : Uh, yes. By the gallon.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Well, come on in. Take a load off.
-
Leon Vance : Very good to see you, Special Agent Sloane. Can I make you some coffee?
Jack Sloane : Yes, thank you.
Leon Vance : You still take it the same way?
Jack Sloane : Black, three sugars, more sugar, then coffee.
-
Leon Vance : You know, I got to say I never thought I'd live to see the day that you would relocate to the east coast.
Jack Sloane : Well, you shouldn't be that surprised. It was your idea.
Leon Vance : I was always under the impression that you would rather quit than leave California.
-
Leon Vance : Headquarters can certainly benefit from a skilled forensic psychologist such as yourself.
Jack Sloane : Well, I go where I'm needed. But I have to say, I was hesitant at first. This office does have quite the reputation.
Leon Vance : Oh, really?
Jack Sloane : Yes. Every week, I would hear a new story about a certain hard-to-handle agent who crossed some line, but I'm sure that's just pure urban legend.
Leon Vance : I'd say it's 50/50.
Jack Sloane : Yikes.
-
Jack Sloane : I wasn't sure how our personalities would mesh together.
Leon Vance : So what changed your mind?
Jack Sloane : Like any agent worth their salt, I did a little recon on my subject.
Leon Vance : Really? What did you deduce?
Jack Sloane : Let's just say I'm looking forward to a new challenge.
Leon Vance : Well, you certainly picked one hell of a day to start. Big storm coming.
Jack Sloane : You have no idea.
-
Jack Sloane : [entering the bullpen] Hey, cowboy. Catch.
[she tosses Gibbs his house keys, then heads upstairs to meet with Vance]
Timothy McGee : Boss, you know her?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Apparently not.
Timothy McGee : Were those your house keys that she just gave you?
[seeing his expression]
Timothy McGee : Sorry. Norfolk. On it.
-
Leon Vance : Jack, I know you took this assignment as a favor to me. I appreciate it.
Jack Sloane : It's the least I could do, Leon. I owe you.
Leon Vance : No, that was a long time ago, Jack. That debt's been paid.
Jack Sloane : No, it hasn't. Not even close.
Leon Vance : Welcome to your new home, Agent Sloane.
-
Leon Vance : Agents McGee and Gibbs, I'd like to introduce you to...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Special Agent Jack Sloane. Yeah, we know.
Timothy McGee : We do?
Jack Sloane : [shaking hands] Uh, nice to meet you.
Timothy McGee : Hi.
Jack Sloane : [Gibbs turns to leave] Nice to meet y-you, officially.
Leon Vance : You have a minute?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Nope.
Jack Sloane : Ouch. Looks like a "fool me once" kind of guy.
-
Jimmy Palmer : Now, judging by the size of the wound and the moss-like debris inside of it, I would say she was hit with a large rock.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Time of death?
Jimmy Palmer : Between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m. the night she was abducted.
Jack Sloane : [clearing her throat] Sorry. Tickle in my throat.
-
Jimmy Palmer : I found some fibers under her fingernails. Now, Abby has since confirmed that it's red nylon, probably from the killer's devil costume.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : She fought back.
[Jack clears her throat]
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Anything you'd like to add, Jack?
Jack Sloane : No. It's your... rodeo.
[seeing his expression of impatience]
Jack Sloane : But if you really did want to hear my professional opinion, I'd say that murder wasn't the killer's original intent. If so, he would have used the knife he stabbed her husband with; instead, he uses a rock. Look at this.
[showing them a crime scene photo]
Jack Sloane : See how he ties her hands? They're bound in front, not in back, which is a better stress position. And he ties a cloth around the rope?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : He wanted to make her comfortable.
Jack Sloane : Pretty considerate for a killer, wouldn't you say?
Jimmy Palmer : Okay, so if he didn't want to kill her, why did he?
Jack Sloane : Something must have happened and he panicked. Maybe Helen figured out who her captor was.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : You think they knew each other?
Jack Sloane : I think it was more than that. Your suspect had feelings for her. Maybe even loved her. Know anyone who fits that bill?
-
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : [spotting Jack in MTAC] Why is it that everywhere I go, you go?
Jack Sloane : Must be a coincidence.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Rule 39: there's no such thing as coincidence.
Jack Sloane : I don't believe in absolutes. Something I can do for you?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Yeah. Stop following me.
Jack Sloane : You have a rule about being paranoid, too?
-
Jack Sloane : I was here first, so if anything, you're following me. But I'll let it slide, 'cause I'm nice like that.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : What about your stunt at my house?
Jack Sloane : Oh, well, that's a different story. To really understand what makes a person tick, you have to interact with them on their home turf.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Yeah, or you could just ask.
Jack Sloane : What's the fun in that?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : I don't like games. And I don't like people lying to me.
Jack Sloane : Then we are off to a bad start.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : You want in on my cases, you need to come through me.
Jack Sloane : No, actually, I don't. I answer to Director Vance, not to you.
-
Jack Sloane : I'm not... trying to step on any toes here. My job is to provide insight to help solve cases. Whether you decide to utilize my expertise or not is up to you. You may not understand my methods, but they work. I wanted to see what kind of man you are. And what I saw is someone who is driven to help people, even at the expense of himself. And I asked myself "Is this a person I can work with?". And the answer was "Hell yes." So give it a chance, Gibbs. You'll like having me around, I think.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Why is that?
Jack Sloane : 'Cause you enjoy a good fight.
-
Jack Sloane : When I showed up at your house the other day, you knew who I was the whole time, didn't you?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Not the whole time.
Jack Sloane : How long did it take?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : About thirty seconds.
Jack Sloane : Ouch. What gave me away?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Flashed your license like a cop does a badge.
Jack Sloane : Mm.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : And Ducky mentioned there was a new forensic psychologist coming in from California.
Jack Sloane : So why didn't you call me out right then?
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : I wanted to know what kind of person you are.
Jack Sloane : Gonna take you a long time to figure that out.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs : Yeah. We'll see.
Jack Sloane : We'll see.
