- Marty Deeks: [after Kensi leaves] Can you please back me up on this?
- G. Callen: Game is looking.
- Sam Hanna: Game recognizes nothing.
- Marty Deeks: Hetty. Hetty, please tell me you have some advice for this.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: Haters gonna hate.
- Sam Hanna: Gotta say. Fisk does have swagger.
- G. Callen: Swagger?
- Sam Hanna: Panache. Chutzpah. Flair. That undefinable "it." Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. The kind of style that can't be taught, G. Game recognizes game.
- G. Callen: Float after me, butterfly.
- Sam Hanna: And haters gonna hate.
- Kensi Blye: How you holding up?
- Marty Deeks: Well, I shot my dad when I was 11. Shot a lot more guys when I was a cop - and all of them deserved it. Life or death situations - until today.
- Kensi Blye: The guy was a Neo-Nazi murderer wanted by the FBI since '04.
- Marty Deeks: Yeah, well LAPD gave me a badge because I know when *not* to pull the trigger. And if I've lost that edge - man, I'm just another thug with a gun.
- Lt. Roger Bates: My unit's tight knit. Deeks had skills, but he was never one of the guys. I gave it time, but he never fit in. So when you came looking for him, I was naive enough to think that he could find a place to call home. Now he shoots first and asks questions later. What'd you do to him?
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: In my opinion, Mr. Deeks saw a threat and acted accordingly.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: Detective Deeks.
- Marty Deeks: Yes?
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: The LAPD has cut its ties with NCIS. Liason duties are discontinued effective immediately... I'm sorry.
- [Hetty leaves]
- Kensi Blye: Wh-what does that mean?
- Marty Deeks: Hetty just fired me.
- Lt. Roger Bates: You regret it?
- Marty Deeks: I thought the lowrider was going to kill the girl then kill me. I made a judgement call. I'll live with it.
- Lt. Roger Bates: I meant NCIS. I thought they'd fight a lot harder to keep you. Apparently, you don't belong there either.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: [to Kensi] Are you upset because Mr. Deeks is a good partner or... is there something more?... And if it's something more... perhaps it's best that he's gone.
- Lt. Roger Bates: Not easy losing partners, is it?
- Kensi Blye: Partners come and go.
- Lt. Roger Bates: I wasn't always a cop, you know?
- Kensi Blye: You served as an intelligence officer for the Army, conduction several interrogations during Desert Storm.
- Lt. Roger Bates: And you just lied to my face. Partners like Deeks don't just come and go. What's the story with you and him?
- Kensi Blye: Well, if he ever decides to call me, I'll be sure to ask him.
- Lt. Roger Bates: I always wanted to meet the woman that changed Deeks's mind. He swore he'd never work with a female partner again.
- Kensi Blye: Why?
- Lt. Roger Bates: If he ever calls you back, ask him that too?
- Kensi Blye: [Entering Angela Tully's hotel room] Federal Agent. I'm with NCIS. I'm taking you into custody.
- Angela Tully: Used to be a time when a girl could go off the grid for 24 hours, and get away with it. Of course you were in Kindergarten at the time so you wouldn't remember it.
- Lt. Roger Bates: You're in trouble.
- Marty Deeks: I gotta be honest, given the circumstances, you're gonna have to be more specific.
- Lt. Roger Bates: Your ex-partner from NCIS is gigantically pissed off at you. That's one woman I would not cross.
- Kensi Blye: Hey, Nell, whatever happened to that file I asked you for? The one on the aryan low rider that deeks shot at the park.
- Nell Jones: Oh right, um, I'm sorry I guess I forgot.
- Kensi Blye: You never forget anything, Nell.
- Nell Jones: Um, yeah. I told them this wouldn't work.
- Kensi Blye: [Entering Ops] You kept me in the dark!
- G. Callen: Please tell me you didn't waterboard Nell.
- Marty Deeks: [Kensi enters the back of Deeks's car] Did anyone tell you how cute you are when you're homicidally angry?
- Kensi Blye: I'm not angry. In fact, I could slit your jugular vein 11 different ways from where I'm sitting and wouldn't lose my temper.
- Marty Deeks: Can we not talk about this right now? I just... maybe we can do it over drinks or something?
- Kensi Blye: No. I have plans!
- Marty Deeks: Well, then I can...
- Kensi Blye: *Every* night for the rest of my life!
- G. Callen: We don't even know who we can trust in LAPD. We go with Kensi and Deeks, we risk losing the RDX getting away.
- Sam Hanna: Kensi and Deeks have Bates under control. Handling Fisk and the RDX - comes down to us.
- G. Callen: You mean us against Fisk, his body guards, a crew of Neo-Nazis and the LAPD SWAT team that may or may not be on our side.
- Sam Hanna: Gotta love Tuesdays.
- Kensi Blye: You know the last time I felt so angry and powerless - was when I was 15.
- Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: And the Military Police informed you that they had no answers about your father's death. That's why I knew you were the one to back up Deeks's cover story... I couldn't take any risks... I'm in your debt, Kensi
- Kensi Blye: Okay, well, I'll be cashing it in one day.
- Lt. Roger Bates: You have a home with NCIS. I see that now.
- Marty Deeks: I gotta be honest. I think it's where I belong.
- Lt. Roger Bates: You're still one of mine. Remind that tea sipping svengali of that - just don't let that ninja lady come after me, all right?
