Leroy Jethro Gibbs
- Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: [Gibbs visits her in the hospital] It's been a long time, Gibbs. It's probably not how you remember me, is it?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Well, you probably forget I was the one who drove you to the hospital after you crashed your bike into that tree in front of my house.
- Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: I still have that scar.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah. So does the tree.
- Leon Vance: SECNAV. She's taken an interest in the Collins case.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We're...
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Leon Vance: Working on it.
- Leon Vance: I got that. But now we're dealing with two dead sailors and drug smuggling on board a U.S. Navy ship. SECNAV wants answers.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Petty Officer Baxter was with Trainer the night she was killed. My gut says he's not our guy.
- Leon Vance: Well, if he's telling the truth about her being coerced into stealing the drugs, then someone was pulling her strings. SECNAV has offered the resources of her office to expedite this investigation. Whatever you need.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Good. I need a favor.
- Leon Vance: Well, that didn't take long. What exactly did you have in mind?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Abs, I got your message.
- Abby Sciuto: Gibbs, I have been waiting.
- [he hands her a Caf-Pow!]
- Abby Sciuto: And all is forgiven.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What do you got?
- Donald Mallard: The results of Ms. Trainer's autopsy tell a sad story. Her body exhibits extensive damage consistent with narcotics abuse.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Too young to go out like this, Duck.
- Donald Mallard: Well, drugs don't discriminate with age, Jethro. It's an equal opportunity serial killer. But while an overdose was the cause of death, I do not believe it was of her own choosing.
- Ret. General Charles T. Ellison: Thank you for taking the time, Dr. Mallard. Gibbs says you're the best of the best.
- Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: I didn't know NCIS had an oncologist.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He's our medical examiner.
- Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: I know I might look it, but I'm not dead yet.
- Donald Mallard: Jethro told me about your unique sense of humor. He also asked me for assistance, as I know several specialists who are the best of the best.
- Ret. General Charles T. Ellison: Do you think any of them can help Laura?
- Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: Dad, we've gone over this, okay? My prognosis is not going to change. The treatments haven't worked.
- Ret. General Charles T. Ellison: But one could.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Laura, your dad's right--you don't quit.
- Ret. General Charles T. Ellison: Thank you for taking the time, Dr. Mallard. Gibbs says you're the best of the best.
- Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: I didn't know NCIS had an oncologist.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: He's our medical examiner.
- Navy Lieutenant Laura Ellison: I know I might look it, but I'm not dead yet.
