- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [Outside Leon's office] Cut the act.
- Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell: What?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Calling us to the crime scene. "Courtesy" my ass! You wanted us to fight for this case.
- Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell: [pause] Yes.

- Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell: Yes, I did. Are you kidding me? International and state borders. It's a paperwork nightmare.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Why not just ask for help?
- Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell: It wouldn't look good. Anyway, let me know how it turns out.
- Leon Vance: [Fornell starts to laugh, and starts to leave. Leon opens his door] Agent Fornell, you didn't give ma an opportunity to finish. Your director and I both agree that an FBI presence is still required. So you'll be riding shotgun.
