I want to step up, I do. I want to be there for Deeks. The truth is I can't stop thinking about why I'm getting my chance now.

Nell

Deeks: I want to be that guy, but what if I can't do it?
Hetty: That won't happen, because you're going to give her everything she needs to get better.

Deeks: Nell, what's your stance on 'Magnum, P.I.'?
Nell: Me, I'm more of an 'A-Team' girl.
Deeks: That's unfortunate.

Bike shop employee [to Nell]: My name is Rex, and your first name is ...?
Granger: Her first name is Special.

That's sexist and wrong on so many levels.

Deeks [to his mother]

Callen: Remember, distract them, don't shoot them.
Anna: I don't always shoot.

Kensi is a special agent, not a secret agent, which is fortunate, considering you just told a group of strangers. And technically, I'm a cop.

Deeks [to his mother]

Granger: That was a good first day.
Anna: Thank you. Does that mean you'll have me back?
Granger: Maybe.
Anna: Maybe?
Nell: That's high praise coming from Granger Danger.

Hanna: I present to you the mother of L.A. sporting events, and you're doing paperwork.
Callen: The paperwork's not going to do itself.

Kensi: I don't want to be here anymore.
Deeks: I know you don't want to be here, but this is where you have to be if you're going to get better.

Eric: The X-Box Games are coming up and we're building up my controller-grip strength. No pain ...
Nell: No weakness.
Deeks: No idea who you two are.

Sam: Why would you rob a bank if you already had millions of dollars?
G: It's gotta be something bigger than that.
