Leroy Jethro Gibbs
- [after Gibbs has allowed Ziva to stay on the team]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You will be coming along strictly as an observer. Hand over all your weapons.
- Officer Ziva David: [small laugh] Is that really necessary?
- [Gibbs stares]
- Officer Ziva David: Right.
- [She unloads her pistol and hands it to Gibbs, who puts it in his drawer]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: And your back-up.
- Officer Ziva David: [innocently] What back-up?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Left leg.
- Officer Ziva David: Oh... that one.
- [She removes her ankle holster and hands it over]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: And the knife concealed at your waist.
- [Annoyed, Ziva removes the knife and hands it to Gibbs. He reverses it and and hands it back to her]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You can keep this.
- [leans in close to her ear as he passes her]
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I just wanted you to know that I know.
- Officer Ziva David: [putting her finger through a hole in the brim of her hat] Why does my hat have a 9mm hole in it?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Ventilation.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [of Ziva] She nearly killed my team driving home from a crime scene.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: I should have warned you. She may have been an Eastern European cab driver in a past life.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: She knows nothing about being a criminal investigator.
- NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: I knew nothing when I first started at NCIS.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Well, you were always a fast learner Jen.
- [flashback to when they were in London]
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: And you... you keep observing.
- Officer Ziva David: What exactly, Gibbs?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I don't care, just do it quietly.
- Officer Ziva David: Now I know why he took away all my weapons.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: How long has he been in there?
- Donald Mallard: He's remarkably well-preserved. Could be months or even years. We'll know more when we get him home. You know, in the 1970s grave robbers raided a Southern colonel's cast-iron casket. They took his weapons, his jewelry and, for some strange reason, the poor man's head. When the local authorities found the 100-year-old decomposing corpse they assumed he was recently decapitated and opened a murder investigation.
