- Mike Franks: What do you want me to say?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Whatever it is you're not saying!
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What's the truth?
- Mike Franks: The truth is *she* didn't want you to know!... She knew you were still putting the pieces together after Shannon and Kelly. Didn't want to complicate your life. Guess she didn't get her wish after all.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You just shot somebody, Franks!
- Mike Franks: Yeah, all by the book, Leon. Retired Agent-involved shooting. That's still a form KJ-65, right? Nice talking to you, Leon.

- Mike Franks: [continues to the elevator] Got a plane to catch.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Eighteen years ago. Columbia. Gibbs was doing drug interdiction down there. Tomas is 18, from Columbia. Knows Gibbs's Marine Service Number.
- Mike Franks: Question?
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Is Gibbs Tomas's father?
- Mike Franks: Tell Probie, thanks for the lend.
- [Removes his tie and gives it to Tony]
- Mike Franks: Let me talk to that kid, I'll get him to tell us what the hell's going on here.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'm afraid I can't do that, Mike. I let him go.
- Mike Franks: You *what*?
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You want to find something, you follow it. Learned that one from you.
- [Franks and Gibbs start to leave. Tony and Ziva start to follow. Gibbs stops them]
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Uh-uh. You two, MTAC, with McGee.
- NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Got it, Boss.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It'll lead us to the truth.
- Mike Franks: [scoffs] The truth.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah! Which you should have told me seventeen years ago!
