Leon Vance
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [after learning his new field team is the target of a mole hunt] You were gonna get around to telling me?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Had no evidence. I figured I'd put you with them, your radar would go off, and one day you'd come to me and say you had a doubt about one of them.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: A "doubt"? A "doubt", Leon? I got a doubt about every one of them. Got a former FBI guy who doesn't listen, got a boy genius who doesn't drive, got a lawyer who doesn't shoot.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [after McGee tells them how to locate some files] That the fastest way?
- NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee: I was worried you might ask me that.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: We never had this conversation.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: The reason I broke up your team, Gibbs, was because whoever was blackmailing Vargo was an NCIS agent.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Not one of mine.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: No. From what Vargo told me, I narrowed it down to three agents. Only reason I broke up your team was so I form a new one.
- [turns on display with Gibbs's new team]
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: So you can help me find out which one of these three is betraying their country.
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Solve this first, then we'll talk.
- NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ziva too.
- Eli David: You know, Leon, sometimes those who know ask me directly, the brave among them. But most of the time, the others, I can feel them looking at me and silently wondering, "how can a father possibly raise his daughter to be a professional killer?"
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: A question that I've never asked you because I know the answer.
- Eli David: Every day is a fight to survive. It is my dream that my daughter will not have to make that decision with her sons and her daughters. I would like my grandchildren to be doctors and architects, to live a happy life, to grow fat and old. You want her back, don't you?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Yes, Eli, I want her back.
- Eli David: Tell me, Leon, are we winning?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: ...I don't know, Eli.
- Eli David: I like to think we are... and then there's something else: a bomb, a kidnapping, an atrocity. Use her well, Leon. Ziva is the sharp end of the spear.
