"You're going to hit the emergency switch now aren't you?"
Damn right I am!
"Gibbs,
Stop Tony. Just listen to me.
Rule #12 NEVER date a co-worker
"Boss I'm not-
Shut up Tony!
I put this rule into place after Kate died. That ruined you Tony! After Kate died I found out that you two were dating. Why you never told me? I might never know, but I don't want you having a personal attachment to anyone you work with. Our job is one HUGE risk, Tony; the second that we put on our badges we put our lives in danger. You can't predict who you are going to lose. All I'm asking of you is for you too not bond too much with Ziva.
"Yes, Boss"
I know you miss Kate, and I'm sorry for what happened.
"I loved her"
I know. Before we go anywhere can you recite all of my rules that you can think of off the top of your head?
"Uhhh
Rule #1 Never screw over a partner
Rule #2 Always wear gloves at a crime scene
Rule #3 Don't believe what you're told. Double check.
Rule#4 The best way to keep a secret, keep it to yourself.
Rule #7 Always be specific when you lie
Rule #8 Never take anything for granted
Rule #9 Never go anywhere without a knife
Rule #12 Never date a Co-worker
Rule #15 Always work as a team
Rule #18 It's better to seek forgiveness then ask for permission
Rule #22 Never bother Gibbs in interrogation
Rule #23 Never mess with a Marine's coffee if you want to live
Huh. I wonder if the rest of the team could recite all of those?
"Ha, very doubtful, Boss. I have worked for you longer than any of them."
You've done a damn good job too.
"Thanks Boss. What are my other great qualities? Ufff…. I suppose that I deserved that headslap."
You deserve every single one you get DiNozzo.
