    • Quotes

      Abby Sciuto: [to McGee] You're not listening to a word I'm saying. I'm pregnant, McGee. Twins. Haven't told the father yet. It's Gibbs. I know it's wrong, but something about his silver hair gets me all tingly inside.

      Tony: [Tony walks in] Excuse me for a second, I think I'm going to vomit.

      Abby Sciuto: I'm joking, Tony. Except for that part about Gibbs's hair. That is really hot.
