Leroy Jethro Gibbs
- [Abby is rambling while talking with Gibbs]
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'd hate to start smacking you like I do DiNozzo.
- Abby Sciuto: [mildly hurt] You wouldn't!
- [Gibbs nods pointedly at her]
- Abby Sciuto: You would?
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It won't be on the head.
- Abby Sciuto: Gibbs, it might not be rigged with a bomb, per se... I love saying "per se." It's one of those phrases no one really knows what it means, but you use it anyway, 'cause... Am I off topic again?
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Bigtime.
- Special Agent Ziva David: Just to be clear, are there any more of these "rules" I should be aware of?
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: About fifty of them.
- Special Agent Ziva David: [disbelieving chuckle] And I don't suppose they're written down anywhere that I could...?
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No.
- Special Agent Ziva David: [getting angry] Then how am I supposed to...?
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: My job is to teach them to you.
- Abby Sciuto: Good news and bad news, Gibbs. Good news is I'm still cute. Bad news, the bomb squad got a little trigger happy.
- [holds up the remains of the box]
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: They blew up the metal box.
- Abby Sciuto: Do you have any idea what's beyond smithereens?
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not a clue.
- Abby Sciuto: Me neither. That's what we've got.
- Timothy McGee: Okay, the dead guy downstairs who we thought was impersonating Petty Officer Jerry Smith is actually the real Petty Officer Jerry Smith. And the Jerry Smith Tony and Ziva talked to in Norfolk turns out to be the fake Jerry Smith, and it's confusing.
- Agent Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo: Kind of like "the pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle"?
- [no reaction]
- Agent Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo: "The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true"?
- [again, no reaction]
- Agent Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo: "Court Jester"? Danny Kaye? Come on, guys. It's a classic.
- [Gibbs thumps Tony on the forehead]
- Agent Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo: Thank you, boss.
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Who is he, McGee?
- Timothy McGee: John Kirby. We lifted his prints from his desk at Norfolk.
- Agent Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo: His empty desk. He didn't report for duty today.
- Timothy McGee: He and Smith had overlapping tours at Jacksonville in '02. Kirby was discharged in '03.
- Agent Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo: Honorably.
- Timothy McGee: Boss, these guys must have had this planned from the first day of Smith's new assignment.
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You think so, McGee? I'm gonna need Kirby's
- Timothy McGee: Address. He lives on West Little Creek. Been there about a year. And the warrant.
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: DiNozzo, David, take a ride.
- Agent Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo: You got it, boss.
- Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Get a BOLO out on Kirby with the FBI, local, and state.
- Timothy McGee: Already done, boss.
- Special Agent Ziva David: "BOLO"?
- Agent Anthony 'Tony' DiNozzo: "Be on the lookout."
