Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Agent Caitlin Todd: How long did Burley work here?
Abby Sciuto: Five years.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Five years with Gibbs. Amazing the guy didn't end up in a straitjacket.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What was that?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Ah, nothing, boss, just praising your communication skills.

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Just accept the fact that you're gonna get lost.
Agent Caitlin Todd: Why do you assume I'm going to?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Because everyone does. A carrier is a big and confusing place first time on board.
Agent Caitlin Todd: Duly noted.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Numbers are stenciled on the bulkheads. First one tells you the deck level. They're called bulls-eyes.
Agent Caitlin Todd: Deck level.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Second one, the frame number. Third tells you the compartment's position in relation to the ship's center line. The last letter tells you what the space is used for.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Crossing from port to starboard or starboard to port isn't as simple as going straight across.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Sometimes you gotta go up one deck and down another.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Or down one deck and up another.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Sometimes two.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: It's frustrating.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not to mention confusing. But you'll get the hang of it.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: After you get lost a few times.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Toss Shrewe's rack.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Got it.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Go over everything and I mean everything. Above his mattress, below his mattress, inside his mattress. If there is such a thing as a fourth mattress dimension, go over that too.

NCIS Special Agent Stan Burley: You know, it's funny how it's all starting to come back to me now.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What's that?
NCIS Special Agent Stan Burley: The tightness in my chest, the upset stomach, all the pleasantries that come with working for you.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: When can I talk with him?
Flight Surgeon: That's hard for me to say, Agent Gibbs.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, let me make easier for you, doc, 1500. Consciousness will make the interview go much smoother.

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [explaining to Stan how the drug test works] The way it works is simple: We place a small sample of the suspected substance inside the pouch and seal it. Break the ampule inside the pouch, which releases the test chemicals. If the clear liquid turns a color, we have drugs.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [examining pouch's contents] Not meth.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, that pouch may be clear, but my gut's still in living color.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Where have you been?
NCIS Special Agent Stan Burley: Waiting on a print match.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You were supposed to meet me here, Stan.
NCIS Special Agent Stan Burley: I thought this was more important.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Let me be the judge of what's more important.
NCIS Special Agent Stan Burley: Yes, Boss.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I mean that is why you called me, right?
NCIS Special Agent Stan Burley: You know, it's funny how it's all starting to come back to me now.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What's that?
NCIS Special Agent Stan Burley: The tightness in my chest, the upset stomach, all the pleasantries that come with working for you.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Your breathing not labored, you're fine.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do ya got?

Chief Petty Officer Reyes: These men spent ten months in the Gulf, combat conditions. Twelve hours a day, one hundred and ten degrees on the deck.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: With you in their face, pumping them up with meth.
Chief Petty Officer Reyes: I gave my men something to help them do their jobs better, and it worked.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Explain that to Wilkes' family.
Chief Petty Officer Reyes: I'm sorry about what happened, but I'm not gonna make excuses. We got our planes on the deck and out of harm's way faster than any other crew. Wilkes was a casualty of war, Agent Gibbs. A hero.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yes, he was, Chief. He was also a victim... of a leader who betrayed his trust.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We go from zero to 140 knots in a second and a half.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Kind of like sex without all that work.
Agent Caitlin Todd: Everything is like sex to you, Tony.
