    • Quotes

      Abby Sciuto: Latex is, um, very popular in, uh, certain... circles.

      Gibbs: Yeah? What kind of circles?

      Abby Sciuto: Gibbs, I dunno if you're ready for this. It might upset your delicate sensibilities.

      Gibbs: Oh, I'll stop you.

      Abby Sciuto: Okay... maybe he was wearing a latex hood, like bondage gear, S&M fetish. I dated this guy once who just wanted me to bounce up and down on a balloon -...

      Gibbs: Okay, you can stop.

      Abby Sciuto: Gibbs, that is no weirder than a three hundred and fifty pound guy with half his body painted yellow and the other painted green, wearing nothing but shorts in ten degree weather and a big plastic piece of cheese on his head saying "Go Packers!"

      Gibbs: Abs, it's apples and oranges.

      Abby Sciuto: There's a fetish for that, too.
