- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: My point is we compliment each other. But I'm natural.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: I'm natural, and you're made.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: I'm the natural operator.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: If you're a natural, I'm supernatural.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: That doesn't even make sense.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: So you think Hetty was born or made?
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: Hatched.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: You're a SEAL.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: You've been looking a little pale lately. Maybe you should go.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: Uh uh. Too many bullet holes in me, Sam. I'd sink.
- Marine LCPL. Brandon Valdivia: You're not from around her, are you?
- Amy: Seattle. How'd you know?
- Marine LCPL. Brandon Valdivia: L.A. girls never ask where the money comes from. Gonna take a lap. Catch you, Amy.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: You cannot use the word "connundrum" before 9:30, Hetty.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: [Checking her watch] 9:31 which means Mr. Callen, you're late. And so are you Mr. Hanna.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: I don't date law enforcement.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: [Sam groans] I think you might want to make an exception this time.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: Sam, you know the rule. They got their own handcuffs, I'm out.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: Look, I think you're making a mistake. The room service she wants isn't on the menu.
- Marine Sergeant Jerrold 'Pallet' Mulhearn: You tell me it's the same Navy now that you enlisted in Chief.
- NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna: I can't say it is. But they still ask the same of us. And that was always good enough for me.
- NCIS Special Agent Kensi Blye: Have you met her yet?
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: I have not yet met Agent Giordano. But I am under the impression from multiple sources... that you can take her.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: And we're investigating because...?
- NCIS Special Agent Dominic Vail: Valdivia's family is tight with their congress man.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: The congress man calls Sec Nav. Sec Nav calls the Commandant of the Marine Corps who calls Director Vance. It's the proverbial Pentagon shuffle.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: There was this kid. Jason. He was a couple years older than me. And I lived with him in a foster home. He used to look out for me. Not for any other reason than it was the right thing to do. He used to have me cut these uh "G" names for me. G-money. G-ride. G-force. One night our foster dad got drunk and beat him to death. I felt bad because I didn't do anything to help him. I still do. Who killed Brandon, Alex?
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: You hear of good cop/bad cop. This is called bad cop/bad cop. We can do things to you to make waterboarding feel like a spongebath.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: Take her out to dinner, after the case is over.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: Agent Giordano?
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: Mmhmm. Then take Sam out the next night. You know how he gets.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: Uh, while congratulations are in order. There is one small loose end.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: The money.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: The money... Today, Mr. Callen. Strangely the Treasury wants its money back.
- NCIS Special Agent G. Callen: I thought Canadians were all supposed to be happy.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: Never mistake politeness for contentment.
