- Paloma Reynosa: You are just like your son.
- Jackson Gibbs: No Ma'am. He's just like me.
- [Paloma reaches for her weapon. Jackson fires a warning shot]
- Paloma Reynosa: How confident are you... Mr. Gibbs?
- Jackson Gibbs: I was raised on the farm... Used to play chicken in my daddy's truck every Saturday night... This ain't much different.
- Abby Sciuto: Ducky, what if this doesn't work? What's going to happen to Gibbs?
- Dr. Donald Mallard: In 1940, Winston Churchill sat in his bunker, smoking one of those majestic cigars, waiting for news that the first German bombs were decimating London. 'Let us, therefore, brace ourselves to our duties' he said over the radio, 'and so bare ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say 'this was their finest hour''. The hour is upon us, Abby. All we can do is wait and see.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Is there something wrong with the front door?
- Mike Franks: Wouldn't have been much of a surprise then.
- Jackson Gibbs: How'd you get past the agents?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Dad, meet Mike Franks.
- Mike Franks: Mind if I make myself at home?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: What took you so long, cowboy?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Are those tan lines?
- Ziva David: Where do you think you're looking?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Does it even matter?
- Ziva David: Well, actually yes, it does. And I can assure you, I do not *have* any tan lines.
- Mike Franks: Sweet Paloma's got a hornet up her skirt. And her sights are set on revenge. Think I'd miss it?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Dangerous.
- Mike Franks: You do what you have to for family.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: What rule is that?
- Mike Franks: The unspoken one.
- Alejandro Rivera: [to Abby] It's late and you should go home. Yeah. Be careful the roads can be dangerous at night.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: What did you just say?
- Alejandro Rivera: Nothing inappropriate, I hope.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You want to threaten someone? Threaten me... Not the people I work with.
- Jackson Gibbs: Appreciate you staying to help.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Sure... Thought maybe we could fix a few things.
- Jackson Gibbs: You sure you can spare the time?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You do what you have to for family.
- Jackson Gibbs: Ain't that the truth.
- Alejandro Rivera: Your team can be hotheaded and reactionary, Director. They're not doing you any favors.
- Leon Vance: Let me do you one. Someone show Senior Rivera out before he gets hurt.
- Alejandro Rivera: By whom?
- Leon Vance: By me.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [to Gibbs] Any word from Franks?... Sorry boss. Observe and report, Director's orders. It's hard to observe when you're being shot at. Think Vance is still angry with me?
- Leon Vance: [Entering] What do you think?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Well, just because I was alone. Manning the fort. Handling Gibbs solo. While you've been strolling around South Beach dancing to the rythm of the night.
- [Chuckling]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Why would I feel the need to say anything negative? I mean...
- Ziva David: Because you are you. Besides, I was working the entire time.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: No. No. Other things. Like breakfast without beer.
- Ziva David: I thought that was the Irish.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Canadians too.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: No, beer doesn't go well with eggs or oatmeal. Why are you so tan?
- Ziva David: Why are you so white?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I've always been like this.
- Ziva David: Becomes you.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: You're lying.
- Ziva David: Through my teeth.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [at their crime scene] For an emergency landing, this helicopter is surprisingly intact.
- Mike Franks: I was hurt pretty bad. Holed up in a little convent south of La Paz. Padre there owed me. You know, drinking wine and playing cards with the sisters, I've never been closer to God.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Handing him a drink] Thought you were dead.
- Mike Franks: [Taking it and shrugging] I got better.
- Leon Vance: I don't want Franks making things any worse than they already are.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ah, it can't get any worse.
- [Gibbs leaves]
- Leon Vance: I hope you're right.
- [McGee, reporting from Canada, is wearing an enormous fur hat, and constantly getting nudged by a Mountie's horse]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [laughing] That horse likes you!
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: This isn't funny, Tony.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, poor McMountie. Hey, so have you seen any, like, moose and stuff up there? Where's your buddy Claude? Isn't that your friendly Saint Bernard with the little barrel of whisky under his chin?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Look, I've been up here playing Dudley Do-Right for two weeks, okay? It's September, and there's snow on the ground. Could you at least give me a little compassion here?
