Quotes8

  • Ellie Bishop: Oh hey, Gibbs. Help me out here. I can only preprogram 9 numbers into this phone.
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, so?
  • Ellie Bishop: So, how do you call everyone else?
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I remember their phone numbers
  • Clayton Reeves: That's insane.
  • Ellie Bishop: [fiddling with her burner phone] It's like I'm living in 1997.
  • Clayton Reeves: I know, right? It took me, like, ten minutes to text "Hello".
  • Ellie Bishop: How does Gibbs live like this?
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [entering] Very well, thank you.
  • Leon Vance: You intentionally infected an NCIS agent with a computer virus?
  • Vice Admiral C. Clifford Chase: I was trying to motivate him.
  • Leon Vance: By committing a felony? Five felonies?
  • Vice Admiral C. Clifford Chase: I meant to send it to Tim only.
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Viruses spread.
  • Vice Admiral C. Clifford Chase: Are you going after me or the hacker that started this?
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We could do both.
  • Timothy McGee: Look, I was able to contain the virus to only our team. Nothing classified is at risk, all data's backed up. Now, that said, I don't suspect our admiral would have done something so foolish without a very good reason.
  • Alex Quinn: It's just so weird without cell phones.
  • Ellie Bishop: Yeah, and no laptop.
  • Nick Torres: Well, the desktops still work. They're hardwired to a different network.
  • Timothy McGee: [entering] Burn phones, 'till we get our new smartphones tomorrow.
  • Alex Quinn: Seriously?
  • Nick Torres: This takes me back to my undercover days.
  • Ellie Bishop: I mean... what do you even do with these things?
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Call people.
  • Timothy McGee: [offering Gibbs a phone] Boss?
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [holding up his own] No, I'm good. Hack-proof. Flip phone.
  • [last lines]
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How's your mom?
  • Alex Quinn: Uh, yeah. It's like she says, "if life is a bowl of cherries, why do I always get the pits?".
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, you know what? I never got that. You got a bowl of pits, it means you ate the cherries.
  • Alex Quinn: Yeah. Yeah, it just, uh... came on so quick. You know, she was good at hiding it, I was good at denying it.
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Hey, Quinn, it's okay to be scared.
  • Alex Quinn: Yeah, I know. I'm moving back in with her. How's that for scary?
  • Donald Mallard: No, that can't be right.
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [entering] What can't be right?
  • Donald Mallard: This man's core temperature is 62 below zero.
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: How, Duck?
  • Donald Mallard: Well, I don't know.
  • Nick Torres: Hey, Gibbs. Where's Quinn? I thought this was a... was a mandatory re-qual.
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Worry about yourself, Torres. And your aim.
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What happened to him?
  • Donald Mallard: Well, I wouldn't even venture a guess until I do the autopsy, and I can't begin that until he comes to room temperature. Not hours, Jethro. Days.
  • Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Oh, come on, Duck.
  • Donald Mallard: Rapid defrosting would cause his skin to decompose while his inner organs would stay frozen. It would seriously compromise the results. No, we wait.
