Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Marine Lance Corporal Roman Vega: [in interrogation] I told your agents, I want to talk to my lawyer.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, she's on her way.
Marine Lance Corporal Roman Vega: So you can't ask me any questions.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: That is right.
[awkward silence]
Marine Lance Corporal Roman Vega: You know you got the wrong guy. I am not a terrorist.
[Gibbs turns on the TV]
Marine Lance Corporal Roman Vega: [on video] Hola, mis hermanos. Get the package in position. Wait for my order to detonate.
[Gibbs turns it off]
Marine Lance Corporal Roman Vega: I can explain that.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I can't wait.
[more awkward silence]
Marine Lance Corporal Roman Vega: All right, screw the lawyer! I...
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [motions him to stop] Ah...
[passes him a form]
Marine Lance Corporal Roman Vega: What is that?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: An attorney waiver.
[Vega signs the form. Gibbs takes it back, places it neatly into a folder, then bolts to his feet]
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [shouts] What is the matter with you, Marine?

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Finding Hart in his home] Am I the only one who needs a warrant?
Margaret Allison Hart: Door was unlocked.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Well that's gonna end soon.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You knew that it was gonna land you... in front of me.
Margaret Allison Hart: Don't flatter yourself.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yet here you are... again.
Margaret Allison Hart: I have my reasons.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. And I have a job to do... and you keep getting in the way.

Margaret Allison Hart: [to her client] Mr. Gibbs is trying to make you nervous. Don't let him.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: "Special Agent".
Margaret Allison Hart: Excuse me?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: "Special Agent Gibbs".

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: What kind of people?
Special Agent Timothy McGee: He said the kind of people he wouldn't want to meet with.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [to Gibbs] We knocking?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: No!
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Would you like the honors?
[Gibbs indicates his injured arm]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh yeah. I forgot.

Special Agent Timothy McGee: Boss, the - the threat of contamination is minimal.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Go. That's an order. Now. Leave!
Special Agent Timothy McGee: It's an order I'm disobeying.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Looking at the intel for Libertad Nueva] That's it?
Leon Vance: That and the fact that his car glows in the dark.

Leon Vance: [confronting the villain] You cop to it now. Right now. You let me get this city off alert, I'll ask the Attorney General to waive the death penalty.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [glances at watch] You got ten seconds.
Leon Vance: After that you can start thinking which vein you want us to shut you off with.

Special Agent Timothy McGee: We've been doing the background, going through credit card statements. So far, nothing unusual shows up...
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs, Leon Vance: [together] Back it up!
[McGee does]
Leon Vance: Dr. Mallard's report said Cook had perfect teeth, right?
Special Agent Timothy McGee: That's right.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [pointing] These right here.
[McGee zooms in]
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Well, then why was he going to a new dentist every two days?
Special Agent Timothy McGee: ...That does qualify as unusual.
