He doesn't appreciate Kate's little 'Rockefeller' joke. It's not funny.

She says he's pathetic, but he's not being entirely honest with her. He doesn't miss that existence as much as he lets her think. Life truly wasn't just a cakewalk for little Anthony DiNozzo.

You can't buy a happy childhood, and his father didn't even bother trying.

Just as well; he's discovered you don't need to be a part of that world to live comfortably. The rich use other people's money rather than their own, and Tony still remembers how to live like a wealthy man.

"Pay the lady, Probie."
