TONY: (CHUCKLES)  McGee on MySpace.  I’ve got to see that.    
GIBBS: Keep calling.    
TONY: Still trying to get into his calendar, Boss.    
ZIVA: You know, I’m not sure what the problem is.  When I was framed by the Iranians for murder, I was late for many hours before anyone even noticed.    
GIBBS: You’re not McGee, Ziva.    
TONY: McTimex’s brain is hard-wired for punctuality.  And sadly, scaring away potential mates.  There we go!  No doctors appointments.  He does have a personal trainer four times a week!  And tomorrow, an eight a.m. appointment at a Harley Davidson dealership!?  Either McGee’s won the lottery or he’s got a Sugar Daddy.

TONY: Dead?    
GIBBS: Sailor.  Waverly campus.  Gear up.    
TONY: What about McGee?  We haven’t found him yet.    
SHEPARD: I did.  Or rather he found me.  Sent me an email.  “Woke up sick.  Laryngitis.  Won’t be coming into work today.”  You know, I bet he sent you one, too.

SARAH: Who emails in sick to work?    
MCGEE: If I called, they’d know I was lying.    
SARAH: Oh, and if you have laryngitis, you can’t call.  You’ve been saving that one for a comic book convention.    
MCGEE: Can we get back to the timeline, please?  Okay, now, you left the bar at nine-thirty p.m.    
SARAH: I got to the campus food court at around ten.    
MCGEE: You showed up here at my door at two thirty a.m.  That leaves four hours unaccounted for.    
SARAH: I’m actually impressed.  This is what you do at work?  You know, state the obvious and make pretty pie charts?    
MCGEE: No.  We collect facts and we formulate theories.  But if you think you can do better…    
SARAH: Oh.  Well, okay.  There are four hours unaccounted for, of which I have no memory.  So I either drank more than I realized; repressed some kind of traumatic event, or was drugged.    Now the blood on my hands and the fact that I’m always careful with what I drink implied traumatic event.  But what and where?  Answer.  The shoes I bought yesterday.  Thirty two dollars, on sale, plus I had a back-to-school coupon.  They’re muddy, but the soles are barely even scuffed.  So I didn’t walk the five miles to your place.  Okay, so how did I get here?  When I left the food court, I had fourteen dollars in my back pocket.  And now there’s only two.  And since it’s a ten dollar taxi ride to your place, do the math.  I must have taken a taxi cab out here.  And that’s our first step.  We find the driver, we ask him where I was.  Then when we find out where I was, we can find out what happened.      
WEAVER: We can start by checking local taxi dispatches.  There’s two major cab companies and dozens of gypsies.  I’m assuming you left from campus, that would definitely be a major.  They’ll have a log of the fare.  Do you think you caught the taxi on campus?

ZIVA: By comparison with what else is in there, I’m sure it was.    
GIBBS: Anything useful from that jogger, Ziva?    
ZIVA: If “I saw the body and I called the police” is useful, then yes.  Otherwise, no.  He can’t tell how long the body’s been here.    
DUCKY: Luckily, of course, I can.  I must apologize for our tardiness.  We had trouble parking the van.  Homecoming.  I would have thought McGee would have beaten me up here.    
GIBBS: McGee’s not here.    
DUCKY: Really?  I could have sworn I saw him in the parking lot.    
TONY: Well, we’re at a college.  Pencil-neck geeks are a dime a dozen.    
DUCKY: (CHUCKLES)  Now, let me see.  Preliminary time of death between ten and twelve hours ago.

MCGEE: And you were picked up early this morning at the quad.  When I went to check it out, NCIS was there.

SARAH: The library.  I have to study.    
MCGEE: Excuse me?    
SARAH: I have a Chaucer mid-term coming up.    
MCGEE: Hey, Sarah!  Hello!  Dead guy!  It’s probably Dead Guy’s blood on your shirt!

ZIVA: Dental records confirm the body is Seaman Jeff Petty, currently serving on the U.S.S. Enterprise.  Docked at Norfolk last night.    
GIBBS: Navy notifying the family?    
ZIVA: As we speak.    
DUCKY: A duty I do not envy.  Yes, when I was an officer with the Regiment, I was twice called upon to render such services.  I prefer combat to telling a family that one of their loved ones shall never be returning.  Luckily, in this case, we are spared such a duty.       
GIBBS: Do you have a time of death on those goldfish?    
DUCKY: No time, but a cause.    
ZIVA: Asphyxiation?  Suffocation?  Over feeding?    
DUCKY: Nicotine poisoning.  I just got the test results from Abby.  There was enough nicotine in their blood to kill, well, kill a goldfish.  That much is certain.    
GIBBS: How did that get there?    
DUCKY:

 


DUCKY: Your guess is as good as mine.  Yeah, the cause of death of Seaman Petty is more explicable.  Sharp force trauma to the thoracic area.  Punctured the aorta, so death was almost instantaneous.  
(CONT.)  The shape and depth of the wound suggests a combat--    
GIBBS: (OVERLAP)  Combat knife.    
ZIVA: We didn’t find a knife.  All we bagged was trash.    
GIBBS: Tell Dinozzo to keep looking.    
ZIVA: Well, Tony went home.    
GIBBS: He went home?    
ZIVA: He wasn’t feeling well.  Thought McGee might have gotten him sick.    
GIBBS: So he went… home?    
ZIVA: Well, actually, the Director told him he could go.    
DUCKY: I’m not done, Gibbs.    
GIBBS: Make it fast, Doctor Mallard.    
DUCKY: Post mortem lividity suggests that Seaman Petty was killed on scene.  Tox screen came back negative, no drugs in his system.    
ZIVA: His C.O. said he was a model sailor.    
DUCKY: There was very little trauma beyond the entry wound.  No scratches, no DNA under fingernails.    
ZIVA: He was surprised.

CAROLYN: He loved wearing that uniform.  Almost as much as I loved seeing him in it.  He was supposed to meet me at the food court.  We were having freshman cheerleader initiations later that night, but I wanted to make time to surprise Jeff with … a surprise.    
GIBBS: He never showed.    
CAROLYN: I just figured his ship was late.

STUDENT: (V.O.)  Don’t worry.  We can do it.    
MADISON: Huh!  Seen enough?    
MCGEE: No, no, no.  No, actually, um… I was checking the water gun here.  The check valve is on backwards.  If you flip this…    
GIBBS: (V.O.)  It sounds like you and Jeff had a perfect…

GIBBS: … relationship.    
CAROLYN: We did.  We were going to get married.  You better make her pay for this.    
GIBBS: Who?    
CAROLYN: That jealous bitch, Sarah McGee.  She couldn’t deal with the fact that Jeff wanted me instead of her.  She sent him threatening emails.  She trashed me in her blog.    
GIBBS: Blog?    
CAROLYN: Yeah.    
GIBBS: What’s a blog?    
CAROLYN: It’s a … blog, you know.    
GIBBS: No, I don’t know.    
CAROLYN: It’s something losers put online so that everyone can read.  Are you going to arrest her or not?  I saw her at the food court with her geek friends.  When she found out that Jeff was coming to meet me, she left to find him.    
MCGEE: How do you know she didn’t just leave?!    
CAROLYN: Because she killed him!    
MCGEE: Boss…    
GIBBS: Hey!

 INT. HALLWAY     
     
GIBBS: I told you to wait outside.    
MCGEE: Why didn’t you ask her about the emails?    
GIBBS: Maybe I don’t want her to know that I know about the emails, McGee.  There’s a reason I told you to stay outside.    
MCGEE: And there’s a reason that I came in.  Look.

TONY: I need some advice.    
SHEPARD: And you came to me?    
TONY: Well, it was either you or Gibbs, and his track record with women sucks.  So…  (BEAT)  I’m finding um… myself in a particularly odd situation with… someone… special.    
SHEPARD: Odd?    
TONY: Odd, yeah.  Odd.  Because we’ve been going out for over a month and w-we haven’t done something that I usually do uh, you know, a lot … a lot earlier than that.    
SHEPARD: And may I ask what it is that’s holding you back from doing what you usually do?    
TONY: Yeah.  Um… because of the particular importance of this person, I thought it would be a good idea to take things slowly, which is kind of a new concept for me.  But at a certain point things have to speed up.  R-Right?    
SHEPARD: Are you attracted to her?    
TONY: Oh, yeah.  Yeah.  I could make a meal.    
SHEPARD: Is she attracted to you? (BEAT) So what’s the problem? (TONY NODS HIS HEAD)

TONY: (INTO PHONE)  Well, let Gibbs know.  He’s there with McGee.    
     
  (SCENE CUT)

ZIVA: Ah, how McGee-ish of her.    
TONY: Must be in the McGeenome.    
TATE: You want her for more than GTA, don’t you?  (BEAT)  I didn’t have the authority to arrest her, but if you want me to, you know --     
ZIVA: We’ll take it from here.    
  (TONY AND ZIVA WALK TO SARA AT THE DESK)   
  (SFX: TONY CLEARS HIS THROAT)   
SARAH: No, you can’t have my number.    
TONY: I already have your number, Sarah.    
SARAH: It’s not what you guys think.  My eyes water when I read a lot and these lights are really crappy.  Are you guys here to arrest me?    
TONY: No.    
ZIVA: You do have to come with us, though.    
SARAH: Yeah, sure.  Are you guys just being nice to me ‘cause Tim’s my big brother?    
TONY: No, I’m always nice to hot girls.    
SARAH: You must be Tommy.    
TONY: Tony.    
SARAH: Sorry, in Tim’s book you’re Tommy.  Which would make you Lisa.

MCGEE: Tommy?    
TONY: Hmm.  You know, if you rearrange these letters, you get…     
ZIVA: Timothy McGee!    
SARAH: You should have told me this was a secret!    
TONY: I can’t wait to read about your swashbuckling, socially repugnant Special Agent Tommy.    
ZIVA: (GIGGLES)  And Lisa, the sultry and emotionally distant Mossad Officer.    
TONY: Or their boss, L.J. Tibbs, who (READS) “drinks to alleviate the burden of his Messianic complex.”  Where is L.J., Dead Agent Walking?

SHEPARD: (V.O.)  Sarah threatened to kill Seaman Petty by email.    
     
  CUT TO:    
     
 INT. AUTOPSY ROOM - DAY     
     
SHEPARD: A taxi picked her up near the crime scene at the time of the murder.  The blood on her clothes matches the victim’s and her fingerprints are on the murder weapon.  Other than being your sister, is there any evidentiary reason why she shouldn’t be charged?    
MCGEE: But she is my sister, Director.  Sarah may have a temper, but she lashes out with her mouth or a pen, not a knife.
    
SHEPARD: And I hope you have more to offer than brotherly love, Agent McGee.    
MCGEE: She was drugged.  She showed up at my door groggy, barely able to walk.  She couldn’t remember anything except leaving the food court.    
SHEPARD: The lab reports for drugs and alcohol were negative.    
MCGEE: Well, by the time those tests were taken, whatever was in her system had metabolized.    
SHEPARD: And if that’s true, whose fault is that?    
MCGEE: Mine.  I should have taken Sarah in.    
SHEPARD: (OVERLAP)  But you didn’t bring her in!  Agent DiNozzo and Officer David did, so your actions – or should I say inactions – did nothing to help your sister.  But it did impugn the integrity of this agency!    
MCGEE: Forgive me, Director, for not putting the integrity of NCIS before my sister!  It won’t happen again.

MCGEE: She wanted me to quit?    
GIBBS: It’s her job to protect NCIS.  Come here.  Sit down.    
MCGEE: Boss, you don’t think that--    
GIBBS: You sit out here until I get back!    
MCGEE: Boss, you don’t think Sarah did it, do you?    
GIBBS: I don’t know, McGee.  I’ll know after I interrogate her.    
MCGEE: Can I watch from--    
GIBBS: No!

SARAH: I intend on being a writer.    
GIBBS: Why the smartass answer?     
SARAH: What?!    
GIBBS: You put your brother down.    
SARAH: No, I didn’t.    
GIBBS: Yeah, you did.  He just resigned because of you.    
SARAH: No!  But Tim loves NCIS.    
GIBBS: Evidently he loves you more.

SARAH: I’m sorry.    
GIBBS: Fake tears don’t bother me.    
SARAH: I don’t fake tears!    
GIBBS: Just lapses in memory.

MCGEE: Uh… cheeseless with pickles, Tabasco and peanut butter.    
ABBY: (SHOUTS)  Yes!  Yes!  Yes!    
MCGEE: Yes?

 INT. ABBY'S LAB - DAY     
     
ABBY: I was pouring over all the forensic evidence.  The trash from the crime scene, and every inch of the taxi, and I realized that the floor mat smells like Nilosorb.    
TONY: Nilosorb? (SFX: TONY COUGHS)   
GIBBS: Industrial vomit cleaner.    
ABBY: So I took what was left down there.  I ran it through the mass spec, and found what McGee has confirmed to be Sarah’s favorite late night snack.  Cheeseless pizza with Tabasco, pickles, and peanut butter.    
ZIVA: Yuck!    
ABBY: But I also found traces of sodium oxybate – a.k.a. GHB.  It didn’t show up in her urine sample because it metabolizes so quickly.  Which is probably what makes it such a popular date-rape drug.    
TONY: You think Seaman Petty tried to rape her?    
ZIVA: Her ex-boyfriend?    
TONY: There’s nothing like a death threat from an ex-girlfriend to get your dander up.    
ZIVA: Are you talking from experience, Tony?    
ABBY: So the levels of GHB allowed me to triangulate a window of exposure.  She was dosed at the food court.    
GIBBS: Dinozzo.    
TONY: Pull the security tapes from the food court.  On it, Boss! 
(TONY WALKS O.S.)   
GIBBS: Ziva!    
ZIVA: Names of food workers, janitors, and anyone working that night. 
(ZIVA WALKS O.S.)   
GIBBS: What was I going to tell you?    
ABBY:  I don’t know.  What were you going to tell me, Il Magnifico?    
  (SFX: KISS)   
GIBBS: Good job.    
ABBY: But I have more!  I solved the mystery of the smoking goldfish.  At first I couldn’t figure out how they were lighting the cigarettes underwater.  And then I found this.  They were trying to kick the habit.  Our little Nemos were swimming in a bag that sprung a leak.  Sprang a leak.  Sprung, sprang, sprung – so their little lives flashed before their eyes in a nicotine buzz.  Hey, do you think since goldfish only have three seconds of memory--    
GIBBS: Abby, get Ducky on that.    
ABBY: I don’t know, Gibbs.  That is a very complicated piece of equipment.  Probably have to go get the manual out, and--    
GIBBS: Abs!    
ABBY:  Ducky?    
DUCKY: (ON MONITOR) Yes, my little lotus blossom.    
ABBY: Gibbs wants you!    
GIBBS: You know when the goldfish died?    
DUCKY: (ON MONITOR) Well, I was just determining the time they expired.    
ABBY: Are you using a little teeny tiny liver probe?    
DUCKY: (ON MONITOR) Being cold-blooded, temperature is useless in determining the time of death.    
GIBBS: So you don’t know?    
DUCKY: (ON MONITOR) Au contraire.  They died about the same time as our victim.    
ABBY: Now how did you calculate that?

GIBBS: Do you know what a clog is?    
ZIVA: A shoe or a block to drain?    
GIBBS: On the Internet.    
ZIVA: I thought that was a blog, but my English is often wrong.    
GIBBS: Sarah McGee wrote a blog trashing her and the cheerleaders.  You think you can find it?    
ZIVA: Probably on MySpace.  Who is she?    
GIBBS: Seaman Petty’s girlfriend.  Sarah’s ex-roommate.    
  (SFX: KEYBOARDING)   
ZIVA: Ha!  (READS)  “These preppy little girls, all skanked up to the nines in their adorable cheerleading uniforms, which had been mistakenly ordered in children’s sizes, were engaged in strangely homoerotic, Adderol-fueled spastic movements that they called dance routines.”    
TONY: Where’s that from?    
SARAH: It’s my blog.    
TONY: Ha ha.  You should let your sister ghost-write for you, Probie.    
GIBBS: Find your sister entering the food court.  How do you get a ready-made cheeseless pizza with Tabasco sauce, pickles, and peanut butter?    
SARAH: Oh, I make it myself.  The food court has everything but peanut butter, so I carry a jar in my backpack.

MCGEE: What do you think, Tony?    
TONY: I don’t know.  There’s a lot to see.    
MADISON: (GASPS)  Stay the hell away from me, jerk!    
TONY: It’s amazing what a college education does for a girl’s vocabulary, don’t you think?    
MCGEE: Astonishing.  I believe you know my sister.    
  (SFX: SLAP)   
SARAH: That was for spiking my peanut butter!    
  (SFX: SLAP)   
SARAH: And that was for setting me up to be raped.    
TONY: This is for being an accessory to murder.     
MADISON: What?!    
CAROLYN: Madison!    
MADISON: They’re framing me!  I didn’t do anything!    
MCGEE: We’ve got you starring in the Food Court Show.    
TONY: Spiking Sarah’s peanut butter with GHB.    
MADISON: Oh, yeah.  Try and prove that from a security camera!    
SARAH: Your greasy paw prints are all over my peanut butter jar.    
MCGEE: And we have you leaving the food court with Officer Tate.    
CAROLYN: You murdered Jeff?
