Leroy Jethro Gibbs

[Gibbs is leaving for the Pentagon to visit hostage]
Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: Wait! Gibbs, if they're watching him and you show up...
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I better make sure they don't notice me.
[Gibbs leaves]
Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: That is *not* a good call.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Relax. You think Gibbs keeps that haircut to save on shampoo?

[Tony has just made a covert dropoff disguised as a Chinese restaurant delivery guy]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [on phone] Delivery complete.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [on phone] That's good work, Tony.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Thanks, Boss, that means a lot.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: NCIS doesn't work out, I hear General Wi's Chinese Restaurant's hiring.

Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: [Gibbs takes a sip of his coffee] Gibbs, it's like a hundred degrees in here. How can you drink that stuff?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It keeps me cool.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You inside his computer yet?
Abby Sciuto: Oh, um, I... I think, um...
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Need help?
Abby Sciuto: Yeah.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: All you had to do was ask. One of the smartest people I know told me that once.
Abby Sciuto: Who?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I want her listening to the live feed.
Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: Gibbs! She's been traumatized enough!
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah? What about growing up without a mother, Kate?

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Next thing I want you to do is hack into Watson's computer. It's the only link we have to the kidnapper.
Abby Sciuto: Gibbs, we are talking about the Pentagon here. Even their encryptions have encryptions.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Damn, McGee! Why are you still here?
Special Agent Timothy McGee: [stammering] Uh, the, the, the contractors, they won't wire the network until the air conditioning's fixed. It, it's a union thing. So...
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: So-o-o-o... you decided it's more important for an NCIS Special Agent to crawl around, all day, by yourself?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [standing behind Gibbs] Man asked you a question.
Special Agent Timothy McGee: [stammering] Why, uh, no, I just, I wanted it fixed before I returned to Norfolk.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. You have any idea where thinking like this is gonna lead you?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Yeah, do you, McGee?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Promotion. You need any help, you ask Tony here. Looks like he could use a workout.
Special Agent Timothy McGee: Uh, it... it... it's not that difficult. So I, uh, I guess I could do it myself.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Good answer.
Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: Don't let him intimidate you, McGee. That's my job today.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: McGee, where are you going?
Special Agent Timothy McGee: Uh, Norfolk.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, I got some good new, and some bad news for you. - You've just been promoted
[holds up envelope with McGee's promotion]
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: to a full time field agent.
Special Agent Timothy McGee: Really? That's incredible! What's...
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You belong to *me* now!

Abby Sciuto: [after her computer overheats] Gibbs, not every computer problem can be solved by rebooting it.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [holding up his cell phone] Works for me.
