- [as usual, Gibbs is nowhere to be seen]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Do I I need to tell you Sec Nav is already breathing down my neck?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: If it'll make you feel better.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Sec Nav is already breathing down my neck. Now you know. I'll handle him. You handle this. Just watch your back, Gibbs.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: He was targeting Gibbs from the beginning. You must've really pissed somebody off.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: It's not a short list - of people that -that you've angered just because you have rock solid principles. And so it's easy for people to misunderstand that and misconstrue. It's - you know...

- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: It means his next victim is going to be in the Navy Yard.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Gibbs, I don't know if you've noticed, but we run the Navy out of the Navy Yard! And you just want to abandon ship based on a hunch?

- NCIS Director Leon Vance: You think that was recon. Killer was scouting the base. N.C.I.S. I get, but why evacuate the whole Yard?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You can't kill anybody, Leon, if there's no one here to kill.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Well, I'll give you points for the unexpected. We were going to run a security lockdown drill next week.
