Tony: Probies. The wife did it.

Ziva: You always say that.

Tony: Well, it's almost always true.

7x05 Code of Conduct

Irony

He's in the bullpen ragging on McGee about the Probie's online date the night before when it happens. Not a sound is heard above their heckling except the sharp thrill of the elevator marking its arrival. Even if the two agents had been paying attention, they may have never heard her make her swift arrival; her cat-like, assassin skills are always more precise when she's pissed.

McGee is the first to acknowledge her presence, and his voice goes absent as result of her fierce expression but his partner continues to carry on obliviously. Tony's charades only cease when she abruptly invades his personal space. She bites something out in Hebrew meant only for his ears, in attempt to keep her anger out of the bullpen but she knows damn well her tone gives her away. As expected, McGee is naïve to the translation but she can tell from Tony's expression that he has heard her loud and clear; he'd picked up enough Hebrew over the years to comprehend.

She makes her way to their "office", leaving the defendant in her wake. He wastes no time proceeding to follow her, whispering to McGee as he does. "Speak fine words about me, Probie. And make sure it's a classy funeral."

McGee only shakes his head and smirks at the irony, "Well, Tony, you always did say it's always the wife who does it."
