- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Rule number 9.
- [Gibbs pulls out a knife]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: How the Hell did you get that past security?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs puts the knife on Leon's table. Then whispers] Never go anywhere without a knife.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Look, Special Agent Sharp, you can follow me around, you can bat your eyes at me, you can chuck me in the chin if you like, I don't know who taught you that's how you get a man. It's not gonna get you me.
- Former NCIS Special Agent Whitney Sharp: You know when a suspect prefaces what he's about to say with "look" or "here" or "so", it usually means he feels boxed into a corner. And I don't want you to feel that way, especially since we might be working together.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You want me to be a Navy cop?
- Former NCIS Special Agent Whitney Sharp: NIS has been watching you. And we feel you might be a perfect fit for an operation we're planning. That is, if you're done with the whole no friends, no connections, single, lone-wolf thing. We know everything about you.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Single? I got a girlfriend.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: First priority: type and match to confirm - it belongs to Eli David.
- Mossad Officer Malachi Ben-Gidon: It has to be his or his kidnappers.
- Mossad Officer Liat Tuvia: Why do you assume he was kidnapped?
- Ziva David: Because it is the only option where my father is still alive.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: What's your daughter's name?
- Mossad Director Eli David: I have two: Tali and Ziva.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: [as Leon's being wheeled into surgery] You're in charge, Gibbs.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I'm not you, Leon.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: I trust you, Gibbs.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Oh no. Agent McCallister, now remember, you're supposed to ask me before using the men's room.
- Former NCIS Special Agent Riley McCallister: Shut up! Permission to smack your boy with my cane, Gibbs.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Denied.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: I appreciate your condolences. And you have mine - regarding your husband.
- Former NCIS Special Agent Whitney Sharp: [Chuckles slightly] He detested you.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: And I him. But I'm not the kind of man to spit on another's grave.
- Former NCIS Special Agent Whitney Sharp: Oh, I think I know exactly the kind of man you are.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Yeah? One... moment of weakness does not define one's character.
- Former NCIS Special Agent Whitney Sharp: Doesn't it?
- Ziva David: But just one question: why did you not trust me?
- Mossad Officer Liat Tuvia: You're not with us.
- Ziva David: ABBA! Show yourself!
- [flashback]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Why would you lure a hit team here?
- Mossad Director Eli David: Because Mossad told me I could kill them. The Russian turned an Israeli sailor. Bled him dry for information, then sent a hit team to dispose of my fellow countrymen. My wife could no longer live with what I do. She took my family, my children to ensure that they do not grow up to be like their father. This I cannot fight. I need a target.
- [Cut to the present]
- Mossad Director Eli David: "I need a target," I told him, "before there is nothing left of me."
- Abby Sciuto: [about Eli David] He knew how to do it. He just confessed to knowing how to build the murder weapon. I mean, how many people know how to build a homemade claymore mine?
- Mossad Officer Malachi Ben-Gidon: In this room?
- [Malachi, Liat and Ziva all raise their hands]
- Abby Sciuto: ...Okay, fine.
- [raises her own]
- Former NCIS Special Agent Whitney Sharp: It's like herding cats, huh, Agent McGee?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I don't like it at all, Agent Sharp. I have a dozen other retired agents. I have Branch, I've got Morrow, I've got Nedrow. I have more directors than the front row of the Oscars.
- Mossad Officer Liat Tuvia: You know our safehouse in Tel Aviv is a concrete bunker - 100 feet below ground.
- Ziva David: Meaning this would not have happened there? Because there's no violence in Israel.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Ladies...
- Mossad Officer Liat Tuvia: Hadar is dead. We were operating under NCIS protocols.
- Ziva David: Are you blaming me?
- Mossad Officer Malachi Ben-Gidon: Liat, focus.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Three men walk into a room. One ends up in a morgue, one in a hospital. That leaves one we can do anything about.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: I saw you talk to the Russian about me.
- Mossad Director Eli David: I saw you seeing me.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: He's going to kill me.
- Mossad Director Eli David: He was going to kill you anyway. Now he's going to do it sooner. He already knew who you are.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: No, that's not possible.
- Mossad Director Eli David: Come on. Get up.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: GET OUT!
- Mossad Director Eli David: If I leave, you die.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: [Leon hits his hands against the table] Damn it, Riley!
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Entering] Hey! That's my danish! What is your problem, man?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: My bad. I'll get you back for that.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, you will.
- Former NCIS Special Agent Riley McCallister: Gibbs, Leon. Leon, Gibbs.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: I'll remember.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Me too.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: We know how it feels to lose a teammate.
- Mossad Officer Liat Tuvia: When your whole country could be wiped away anyday, you don't take tomorrow for granted.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: That's terrifying.
- Mossad Officer Liat Tuvia: It was meant to be comforting.
- Mossad Director Eli David: There have been times, I felt this job take a piece of me. I worry they may be gone forever.
- Ziva David: Sometimes life... surprises you.
- Mossad Director Eli David: [Walks to Ziva's side of the desk] Those are the moments worth living for, my Ziva.
- [Eli kisses Ziva on the forehead]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: I always thought I was chosen because I was special. That's not it at all. You chose me because you knew nobody'd miss me when I got killed.
