Kate: Why me Gibbs? Wasn't stopping one bullet enough for you? Why did I have to take two? I was always the second one. Wasn't I? You favoured Dinozzo. I came second. Now I'm dead instead of him. Sure you're a chauvinist, who thinks women come second. I deserved more and you know it. And you're going to sit here and feel guilty? Aren't you?
I stayed by Tony when he was dying. I watched him cough and laugh as he died… but then he didn't die. I was so relieved. I know what the team will go through. I know Tony will make his stupid immature jokes and movie references to lighten the mood. He may even cut Probie McGee some slack! To help him get through it… You've got to support your team Gibbs. Head slaps and glares won't fix this one.
Go help Tony. Go help McGee. Go help Abby. She needs you. Poor girl, alone in her dark lab. Then, again, I suppose you won't help her. You'll bring death to her, like you did to me. I've got to thank you for that, Gibbs, your dad must be so proud. I mean, having his son help kill an innocent female agent. Don't stare at me! Regret it and take action, instead of sitting at your desk and staring. Go avenge my killer for me. Go do some good.
You have to kill Ari, for me. You can't let anyone get in the way. I know that. But this time, you messed up big time. Remember what I did for you? I jumped in front of the first bullet. I saved your life. Then, when you and Tony picked me up, bang. Remember how I looked on the rooftop? Remember the gaping hole in my head? Remember the blood gushing from the open wound? Remember Tony's face when he knew he'd lost me? Lost me forever, this time.
Remember what you said to me in the office one day? "I never leave my people behind. It's a marine thing." You left me behind in the land of the dead.
Come on, Gibbs. Why me? Wasn't stopping one bullet enough for you? Why did I have to take two? What is that famous gut telling you? Why did I die instead of you?
