- Penelope Langston: And I think I can handle this Gibbs person.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Genghis Khan couldn't handle Gibbs. You should talk to your grandson.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: I remember one year, I think I was seven, spent all day making this huge card for my dad. Used paint, glitter, special paper - the works. I gave it to him that night, and uh, he handed it back to me and said "You can do better. Try again."
- Ziva David: That is a terrible story, McGee.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: That's the way he is.
- Jimmy Palmer: [to Ducky] It's just all this wedding planning stuff. It just has us on edge. She's having a hard time making decisions. I'm just trying to help. Everything I say... seems wrong. What should I do?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs enters] Just give her what she wants.
- Jimmy Palmer: I have no idea what that is.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Welcome to the rest of your life, Jim boy.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Kind of makes sense that you'd end up working for Gibbs, McMeechum.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: There are similarities.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: He's got big brass ones. They're like bowling balls.
- Ziva David: That is disgusting.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Talking about tough love tactics, Tony. The veneer of impenetrability.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: The skill at turning one word into a rallying cry.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs enters] Gear up!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Guess that's two words.
- Penelope Langston: And I was the wife of an admiral for 40 years. Our pillow talk was enlightening.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Please don't say "pillow talk."
- Penelope Langston: Okay, how about post coital embraces?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [to his cellphone] I got it. For the 188th time, I got it! Yes, the balloons, and the streamers. I know. I - what? No. No. No strippers this year! NO!
- [Realizes others can hear him]
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I gotta go. I'll call you back.
- Ziva David: Planning a party Tony?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Not exactly. It's my father's birthday party. He's planning, I'm paying - in all kinds of ways.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: There's plenty of time to turn off each other's calls once you're married, Mr. Palmer. I'd advise you not to start before you've even exchanged your wedding vows.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Boss, you don't understand, once she gets comitted to a cause, there's no stopping her.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Can't wait, McGee. Get her to talk, McGee - or I will.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs is questioning Penelope in Interrogation] You know something about Lt. Booth's death.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: [Watching from the side] Boss...
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Maybe you're involved with something way over your head.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: No.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Maybe you're covering for the real killer.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: ENOUGH!
- Penelope Langston: It comforts me to know that you're with such a good group of people. I'll admit even Gibbs has begun to grow on me a little bit. His cold despotic ways, really a part of his charm. Who knew?
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: Yeah, actually reminds me a lot of - you know - a little bit.
- Penelope Langston: Yeah, in other words, he loves you but has no idea how to show it.
