Abby's turn.
Ouch. Asking her husband to have an opinion. The face of the journalist says all.
My first reaction when he started walking away: 'watch where you're going, it's how people get hit by a bus!'. I was expecting it, but it still startled me.
Giving a kidney. Sure, why not. Abby is incredibly generous. I love how she leaves the room al happy, like if she had tickets for the concert of the year.
Sportelli, Sportelli…oh! The Inside Man! With the pretty cop and her blue scarf and Tony & Tim in jail.
Great work, Detective Sportelli. You arrested the unconscious man. Did you have to cuff him when he was down on the sidewalk there?
Hmmmm, Tony is a bit like he was before. Hope Serious!Tony is not gone already.
Oh sure, if it's Ziva doing the shadowing, he's gonna be okay with it. Can't say I don't understand him…
The Mallard! And Abby has a brother she doesn't know. I didn't expect that. There's a lot of thing I like in this scene. The direction in the first cap, having Ducky's reflection in the same view than Abby getting out of the elevator, the way she look in front of her without talking waiting for Ducky, Ducky who stop talking the second he see Abby's expression and how he said just the right words for her.
Now, listen, when we get into the room, you let me do the talking.
Why?
The Cooler's evaded the FBI for years. Getting him to tell us who took out the hit on Commander Brett is going to take a deft hand.
Oh, and that's you? You didn't even know who The Cooler was until I told you.
Neither did Ziva. No, I need to talk to Arliss alone, so you've got to get Sportelli out of the room.
And how am I supposed to do that?
Well, I don't know-- you distract him. Talk about your stupid obsession with jet packs-- men, strapped to rockets.
Hey, I am not obsessed!
Why, Tony, that was a nice break between jetpack and men, and between men and strapped. Some people could think you're suggesting something instead of simply catching your breath. Also, don't pretend you don't like the idea of jetpack, you totally found cool the last one you saw.
Why the positions of the badges amuse me so much? I mean, I know it's just because one is right-handed and the other left-handed, but still…
If only I could have interrogated him, I tell ya. Five minutes in my magic hands and I would have had him coughing up the name of that hit man.
Five minutes?
Five minutes, *feels Gibbs looking* because I learned from the best..
McGee is soooo impressed. No, really, he is.
While angling for his plum assignment on the Hill? Who talks like that?
*McGee Shrugs*
Bwahahaha! Love Ziva's smirk.
…Tony, wtf are you doing?
"Dad, look, I'm a plane!"
"What the…"
"Painkillers. You get used to it."
Oh, he was measuring the wall! Nice.
Do you want to let us take the computer?
Our people are real good.
Yeah, our people are real good.
"Like Abby. And McGee. Real good. With his hands. And a computer. I'm talking about the computer."
Another scene I like because of something really small, McGee looking the cable in her office. I don't know how to explain it… it add something 'normal' to the scene, it mix perfectly the two things, him working while she try to talk to her aunt, work and personal, the case and the emotional moment.
Boss, this is the landlady, Mrs. Roach.
Understand you don't have a warrant, boss.
I can get one if you want.
Let's get this over with. I'm missing Judge Judy.
Ugh! Kaplan's got terrible taste.
The apartment comes furnished. I picked everything out.
You know the secondary characters are played well when the cast try to not laugh. The landlady is awesome and hilarious, character and actress.
Guy who lives in this dump like this has a business manager? No offense.
What's the business manager's name?
I don't know. I mean, I got the name in my apartment. Now I suppose you want me to go down and get it. You wanna come with me, boss?
I'll wait here.
That's what they call a "turkey vulture." 20 years past a cougar. Still likes to hunt, but too old to take down the prey.
I wouldn't bet on that!
Apparently, she improvised the last line. When Gibbs looks outside, I can easily imagine the actress blowing him a kiss just for the fun. I like how Gibbs wants to leave, fast.
Are they allowed to destroy propriety in these types of case?
Timmy, move your hand. A) You're in public. B) You're in front of Gibbs C) You're preventing Tony from thinking.
See? He forgot what he was saying.
And now, Tony is getting his revenge...
Tim is already frowning. Just because Tony said "you're a woman." and look happy. And he's pissed off during the whole scene! Something Tony find amusing.
And when Drew suggests one little bit of interest for Tony? He's all '*you* will work with *Abby*'. With the gesture of Tony, his hand on Tim's shoulder? It's like he knows what's bothering Tim and he's saying 'relax, I'm just teasing'.
Only, since when Tony flirting with women is amongst the games of 'pushing Timmy's buttons' ?
And for fun, compare the way he talks to the guys showing an interest on Abby and the way he talks to Drew.
Also, we had a plan of Tim watching the clock long enough for us to notice the time (9h54) and there's another one with the clock on the building. (10h56). I guess it was a hint.
"Well, I guess she won't be doing your taxes." Can't you feel his pain for Tony? Seriously, Timmy, it showing. Did something happen between you two you forgot to show us? Because if it's the case, it's just unfair to hide it.
Western style! The funniest bit? Gibbs looks who called him, raise an eyebrow at Tony and McGee going "it was me!" and close his phone without giving the name of the winner.
"It's going to be the prettiest garland of the tree!"
"Hrmmm, Ducky?"
*Snort* Sportelli give up. Pretty coffee cup for Tony. And Gibbs send McGee searching the brother.
Ziva doesn't have a lot to do, lately.
Aha! My dynamic duo.
Look at Pauley, holding back the laugh. Energiser Tony and a nice moment for my little OT3.
We got to keep him away from that new coffee machine.
I love that. Because it almost look like someone wanted to troll us. Make us believe Tony the clown was back and then surprise! There's an actual, logical, immediate explanation. He's just high on caffeine. That's make the stuff in Engaged even more strange.
Also, just for the fun (probably less for Ziva and Gibbs), I want to see Tony and McGee with way too much caffeine in the same time.
(Does that count as another reminder of past episodes/Tony&McGee moments? Like with Sportelli and the jetpack?)
Who's the best? Yep.
Whoa, Tony, Gibbs is just here!! He can still see you!
Kitty!!!!
To be honest, when they showed Kyle for the first time, I found him scary because my brain saw the mix of Abby and his face instead of the comparison they wanted. I thought her collar was his mouth.
I love your dog collar. We have a pit-bull terrier that has one just like it.
Love this from Ziva.
Wait, wait, wait, back up! Gibbs drinks tea?
Abby was adopted? And maybe Lucas too. Finding like that, ouch. And it's going to take a bit of time to readjust. The bit about Abby already having a family with NCIS, that's not exactly new.
