-------------------- The DiNozzo Diaries 3: I'm Not There ---------------------

"Well?"

"Still hangin' in there. Surgeon said most people shot up like that would've died from the first wound but..."

"I already got the report from the doctors. You KNOW what I want."

"I want the same thing."

"No, you don't. I want an EXPLANATION, dammit!"

"That's what I want, too, Leon."

"Then you better find your boy, Gibbs. Because there's a HELL of a lot of questions right now needing answers we don't have."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Nurse? Excuse me. I'm Agent Kensi Blye, NCIS Office Of Special Projects. You're in charge of the ICU?"

"For this shift, yes."

"Anyone requesting admittance to see Doctor Jeanne Benoit must be cleared by me or another NCIS agent. This is the list of approved NCIS agents available to okay those kind of requests. One of us will be posted here day and night. It's extremely important that nobody other than hospital medical staff gets in that room. Even then, we'll need to see ID."

"Are you serious? Agent..."

"Blye."

"Agent Blye, this is an intensive care unit. Our patients need emergent, immediate care. We can't go around showing you our identification just because one of YOUR superiors..."

"Listen, I understand. You've got your orders. But I've got mine. And mine come from higher up than yours. Trust me. You don't want to go head-to-head with my superiors. So let's agree to disagree here, OK? And you'll just flash that badge and we'll get along great. Now... I'm gonna grab some coffee. Does that machine down the hall take dollars or is it exact change only?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"DiNozzo?"

"Boss."

"We need to talk."

"I'm sorry, Boss. Can't do that this time."

"Tony, don't make me come find you. Let me help you."

"I've got all the help I need. I'm good."

"You're NOT good, you're in it DEEP with VANCE! Now TELL me where the HELL ya are so I can..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ya hung up on 'im, eh? Not real smart."

"What was I supposed to do? Stay on the line so McGee could trace the call?"

"HELL, son! Gibbs wasn't tracin' your DAMN phone! That ain't his style with one 'a his own."

"Can't take that chance."

"Ya know he's gonna figure out you came to me, dont'cha? He ain't a fool."

"We'll be gone by then."

"Gone WHERE? Son, you got nowhere to go."

"Ziva's father. He'll protect us."

"YEAH, boy! The Mossad's gonna roll out the red carpet for ya. Use yer BRAIN, dammit!"

"Mike is right, Tony. Mossad will not want involvement in this."

"But THEY wanted Jeanne dead! Your FATHER TRAINED me to..."

"My father... does many things."

"Listen, kids. Ya stick with me and when Probie gits down here we'll sit down and we'll work this out!"

"Like you 'worked it out' for Jenny, Mike?"

"TONY!"

"No, it's alright, Ziva. Fair point. Couldn't save her. But she didn't wanna be saved."

"And I do?"

"Tony..."

"C'mon, Ziva -- Mike here has ALL the answers so I wanna hear what his answer is for me. You think I wanna be saved, Mike? Huh?"

"All I know is... you're the one who showed up at MY door, DiNozzo. Wasn't the other way 'round, now, was it?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"HEY! Didn't I just SAY anyone wanting to see Jeanne Benoit needed NCIS clearance? Who the HELL is that IN there?"

"Look, lady, I'm just an orderly here."

"Where the HELL is the NURSE?"

"Like I know?"

"DAMMIT!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"NCIS! SHOW ME YOUR I.D., SIR! NOW!"

"Just relax, AGENT. We're on the same side here. I'm FBI."

"Agent Ron Sacks. FBI is on this case, too?"

"We're on everybody's case... Agent Blye."
