Director Eli David
- Eli David: You know, Leon, sometimes those who know ask me directly, the brave among them. But most of the time, the others, I can feel them looking at me and silently wondering, "how can a father possibly raise his daughter to be a professional killer?"
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: A question that I've never asked you because I know the answer.
- Eli David: Every day is a fight to survive. It is my dream that my daughter will not have to make that decision with her sons and her daughters. I would like my grandchildren to be doctors and architects, to live a happy life, to grow fat and old. You want her back, don't you?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: Yes, Eli, I want her back.
- Eli David: Tell me, Leon, are we winning?
- NCIS Director Leon Vance: ...I don't know, Eli.
- Eli David: I like to think we are... and then there's something else: a bomb, a kidnapping, an atrocity. Use her well, Leon. Ziva is the sharp end of the spear.
