Pauley Perrette: Abby Sciuto

Quotes 

• Abby Sciuto : Tony, I'm so glad you -

  [pulls back] 

  Abby Sciuto : smell like garbage.

  Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo : Yeah.

• Abby Sciuto : [Coming towards Ziva's desk]  Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod...

  Officer Ziva David : [Ziva stands. A bruise covers her right eye]  Abby...

  Abby Sciuto : Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod...

  Officer Ziva David : ABBY!

  [Shoves her into a chair] 

  Officer Ziva David : Calm down! Tony has a broken nose, McGee has a dislocated shoulder but: we caught the guy.

  Abby Sciuto : What is he even doing here? He should be locked up! He's an animal!

  Officer Ziva David : [Looks shocked]  He's not an animal. He a MAN.

  Abby Sciuto : Are you defending him? He attacked for no reason, the guy's a killing machine...

  Officer Ziva David : He's a Marine. Who was willing to to give up everything for his country. We have a responsibility to him!

  Abby Sciuto : Oh, spare me the Samurai code of honor. Noble respect for your combatant? It's admirable but he tried to kill Tony and he tried to kill McGee. Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod...

  Officer Ziva David : [Grabs her]  And me too. Believe me, we are fine. Calm down.

  Abby Sciuto : [Stops for a second]  Ziva, can't you just let me get it out? For a second? I meant I'm not like you, I'm not like some totally emotionless perfect warrior.

  [Leaves, Ziva looks crestfallen] 

• Abby Sciuto : These people have read way too many sci-fi comics.

  Special Agent Timothy McGee : Some of these experiments are more fi than sci. One of them makes people glow in the dark.

• [Abby is angry at Werth for injuring Tony, Ziva and McGee] 

  Abby Sciuto : I can't just turn off one part of my brain and turn on the other part!

  Donald Mallard : Abby...

  Abby Sciuto : [one of her machines beeps with test results]  You know what? I don't even care.

  Donald Mallard : Abby, I need you to draw upon that considerable capacity that you have for empathy, for a moment.

  Abby Sciuto : I don't want to help him.

  Donald Mallard : This young man you deem to be a villain, may in fact be a victim.

  [Abby mulls that for a few moments, then slowly smiles] 

  Abby Sciuto : ...What are we looking for?
