Alex Quinn
- Alex Quinn: How long have you known about forgetting things?
- Marie Quinn: I've known for a while. I... I... I make a telephone call and I'd forget who I was talking to. Or I go... out for a walk, and I... I would get lost in my own neighborhood. It's like a window that just keeps closing a little bit, and then a little bit more. Every day. Like that.
- Alex Quinn: Well, we're not gonna let it close, okay?
- Marie Quinn: Baby, nobody stops this window. Nobody.
- Alex Quinn: We're not nobody. Okay? We... we... we fight. And I am not putting you in a nursing home. I am here for you.
- Marie Quinn: I know you are. But what happens when I'm not here for you anymore? Forgetting about your dad was bad enough. But what happens...
- [breaking down into tears]
- Marie Quinn: ...when I forget who you are?
- Alex Quinn: You won't. You're not going to. How can you? I mean, come on. You're not gonna forget about me.
- Marie Quinn: I just don't want to live to be a burden.
- Alex Quinn: You are not a burden. You're my mother.
- Alex Quinn: It's just so weird without cell phones.
- Ellie Bishop: Yeah, and no laptop.
- Nick Torres: Well, the desktops still work. They're hardwired to a different network.
- Timothy McGee: [entering] Burn phones, 'till we get our new smartphones tomorrow.
- Alex Quinn: Seriously?
- Nick Torres: This takes me back to my undercover days.
- Ellie Bishop: I mean... what do you even do with these things?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Call people.
- Timothy McGee: [offering Gibbs a phone] Boss?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [holding up his own] No, I'm good. Hack-proof. Flip phone.
- [last lines]
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How's your mom?
- Alex Quinn: Uh, yeah. It's like she says, "if life is a bowl of cherries, why do I always get the pits?".
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, you know what? I never got that. You got a bowl of pits, it means you ate the cherries.
- Alex Quinn: Yeah. Yeah, it just, uh... came on so quick. You know, she was good at hiding it, I was good at denying it.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hey, Quinn, it's okay to be scared.
- Alex Quinn: Yeah, I know. I'm moving back in with her. How's that for scary?
