Mark Harmon: Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Restless

Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Abby Sciuto: [to her lab equiment] Look, I understand your pain. I mean no one wants their secrets revealed. But you have something I needed. You had something that Leroy Jethro Gibbs needed. And that is a man you do not want to disappoint.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs enters] Never have before Abs.
Abby Sciuto: Actually, I have, but I prefer not to go there.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Works for me.

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: How old do you guys think I am?
Ziva David: Physically or mentally?
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [about 2 pairs of Mud Wrestling tickets] What is this a gag gift? You guys - plan this together?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Entering] DiNozzo, I got a gift fo you.
[Gibbs gives DiNozzo a folder]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Dead body?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yep.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Grab our gear?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yep.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Thank you, boss. A gift I can use. Only thing I need to do right now is keep working. See? This is what I need - work. Keep busy.
Special Agent Timothy McGee: Good.
[McGee and Ziva go to Tony's desk and hold out their hands expectantly]
Special Agent Timothy McGee: I think we can still get refunds.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Never said I didn't want them.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [looking at Abby's Homecoming photo] Which one was the lucky guy?
Abby Sciuto: Um, all of them. They all asked me to the dance, and I couldn't bear to say no. So I kind of talked all three of them into taking me.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Hmm. How'd that work out?
Abby Sciuto: Well... let's just say it might be what got me interested in my first crime scene.

Hank Galvaston: [about Curtis] He - he keeps saying how he's not going back to jail.
Special Agent Timothy McGee: Never a good sign.
Hank Galvaston: You-you promised you were going to bring Curtis in safe. Prove he's innocent.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, well, I can bring him in. Second part's not up to me.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: McGee, let him go.
[McGee releases Galvaston]
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You want to make a run for it? Go. Go. Go on. Get out of here. Do it.
Hank Galvaston: You've got a gun. What do I got?
[Gibbs hands him a fryer]
Hank Galvaston: What am I supposed to do with this?
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Oh, sorry. That's right. You only use that on little girls.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You don't think this is a con?
Dr. Donald Mallard: Jethro, this is not about the money. Look at the pattern. She's been in three foster families before her current one, stolen from none of them. But then, just before she turns 18, she runs away, lies her way into another foster home, and enjoys a few carefree years as a high schooler. Then, just before she has to turn 18 again...
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: She runs away, she starts all over.
Dr. Donald Mallard: Everyone has their addiction, Jethro. This woman's is childhood. She covets an adolescence that was taken from her.
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: "Taken"?
Dr. Donald Mallard: And quite violently. That story about the Pennsylvania commune is clearly a fabrication, but based in fact. This is her medical file. Her body is covered in old scars from multiple beatings. With such childhood trauma, it's no wonder that she has chosen to deny her past. And if it continues to threaten her, then I don't think she's even capable of acknowledging it. Sadly, it might have been different in her new home. Who knows? She might even have turned 18 this time.
