NCIS, Season 4

Ducky:
You know what they say about a mother bear and her cubs.

Ziva:
They eat them when the food runs out. I saw it in a documentary Tony forced me to watch; Grizzly Man?

Ducky:
I was referring to a mother bear's protective nature when her cubs are threatened. There is no deadlier creature on the planet.

Ziva:
I agree. They also ate the man who shot the footage, and his girlfriend.

Ducky:
Yeah well, that's perfectly dreadful.

Ziva:
That's what I said to Tony!

Ducky:
My point is Laurie Niles may have been trying to protect her daughter. The husband filed for separation, another man was claiming to be the child's father.

Ziva:
She didn't want to lose or share custody of Sarah.

Ducky:
That's one possibility. What does Gibbs think?

Ziva:
Hard to tell, he's currently not talking to me.

Ducky:
Well, chin up, dear it could be worse.

Ziva:
How?

Ducky:
He could be a bear.
