Leroy Jethro Gibbs
- Ellie Bishop: You do not know what you're missing.
- Nick Torres: Look, if this is just a ploy to see me with my shirt off, I can make that happen right now.
- Ellie Bishop: You have quite the imagination.
- Nick Torres: The offer still stands. You say the word, I'll lose my shirt.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [entering] And the job, Torres.
- Timothy McGee: Boss, how'd you even know that was the Rosewood Boyz?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The bike tipped me off.
- Alex Quinn: How'd you know which bike?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The one with the big rose painted on the side.
- Jimmy Palmer: It's sad when they come in so young.
- Donald Mallard: It is indeed, but then you and I both know that all of life is a near-death experience. We must never cease to give thanks for the gift of today. Isn't that right, Jethro?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [entering] I'll tell you tomorrow.
- Donald Mallard: Well, if one is an incident and two is a coincidence, then three is most certainly a pattern. Like our Marine, these two died of double tap.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Same technique, bigger weapon.
- Nick Torres: Why'd you hit the... the emergency button?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Because I can.
- Nick Torres: We don't have an emergency, Gibbs.
- [seeing his stoic expression]
- Nick Torres: Or do we?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Tell me.
- Nick Torres: Tell you what?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What are you hiding?
- Nick Torres: Okay. Let's talk. Where to start?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: The truth.
- Nick Torres: What if I'm not sure I know it anymore?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We find it. I can't help unless you help yourself. Time to tear off that Band-Aid.
- Nick Torres: I planted evidence. I planted evidence to get Monroe off the streets, so no other people, especially my friends, would get murdered.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Gang members.
- Nick Torres: What they do. Not who they are.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Any regrets?
- Nick Torres: Zero. No regrets. That Rosewood investigation swallowed me up whole. And when another two Rosewoods got smoked... I swiped the pistol he used to do it and I tossed it in the bushes next to the victims.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: His victims?
- Nick Torres: Yes.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You're sure?
- Nick Torres: Absolutely. He looked me in the eye and said "I killed them both." And that was just the tip of the spear. Gibbs, he was cleaning house. I had no choice. I had to do it.
- [Gibbs remains silent]
- Nick Torres: I was hoping this is the part where you'd say "Hey, Torres, your job is secure. When I was a young NIS agent, uh... I did the same thing."
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [starting the elevator] Torres, we got a lot more in common than you think. But my Band-Aids, they always stay on.
- [reaching their floor, Gibbs gets off and Torres moves to follow him]
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abby. Mud. Go. Don't come back without an answer.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You did the wrong thing for the right reasons. Never do that again. Been a long week, Torres. Late. Go home.
