Gibbs: You lied to me.
Ziva: No. When I told you Ari was innocent. I believed it. But yes. I would have lied to you. He was – my brother. And you were nothing. But I was wrong about Ari and you. When I pulled the trigger to save your life, I was not following orders. I mean how could you even think – he was my brother. And now he is gone. Eli is all but dead to me. And the closest thing I have… to a father is accusing me.
Gibbs: Ok.
–7.2 Reunion

Abby Sciuto: Do you think it’s just by chance that he came back into your life? I mean, what about Gibbs and his father, and Tony?

I am saddled with responsibilities that you cannot possibly fathom. The safety of a nation. And every one of our neighbors wants us dead. I don’t have the luxury of allowing my feelings to dictate my actions.
Ziva David: You do not have *any* feelings!
Eli David: I have no feelings?… There was a time, Ziva. When I was quite different. When my house was filled with the sound of children laughing. You and Ari and Tali. There was a time, Ziva. Yes.

Ziva David: Yes
Timothy McGee: How do you feel about it?
Ziva David: Tony is a competent, capable investigator and a good leader. You do not agree?
Timothy McGee: Yeah, I agree, it’s just that he’s kind of irritating when he’s not the boss. When he is, he walks around with that peacock strut and that smirk. It’s like — he’s behind me, isn’t he?

–8.9 Enemies Domestic

Dr. Rachel Cranston: Director Vance, Spending time with your team has been enlightening to say the least. In clinical terms there a disaster, but their selfless dysfunction is ultimately why it works. It’s clear to me we all react to life’s challenges in different ways. Your people are no exception. Some fight death, and some embrace it’s solace. Some recognize their fate, and other do whatever is necessary to alter it. Sometimes we define other expectations, and occasionally we rise to met them. But the constant is being true to ourselves. We do what we have to when we have to. We react for better or worse. It’s why your team succeeds. But we be careful, eventually it might caught up to you. A man walks into a bar and ask the bar tender for a glass of water, the bartender pulls out a shotgun ….”

[McGee gives her a look, Abby hugs him]
