NCIS, Season 8

Tony:
[after Ziva turns off the sound from the interview room] Thanks. I was getting a headache.

Ziva:
Really?? This is usually your favorite part. Getting to watch reality TV at work, as you call it.

Tony:
Well, people change, Ziva.

Ziva:
Yes. But not that quickly. And yet here we have this new Tony. Who arrives early, stays late, turns down advances from beautiful women, and has not made a single joke in the past, what, two days?

Tony:
I haven't? Are you sure? Well, we're in the middle of a case.

Ziva:
It has not stopped you before.

Tony:
Well, it's stopping me now, and I'm sorry if you're losing sleep over it, but I can't be responsible for everyone's feelings!

Ziva:
Everyone?

Tony:
Everyone! You, and McGee, and the Brenda Bittner's of the world. Everyone!

Ziva:
Brenda.

Tony:
Yeah. Bittner. The girl who posted online that we were in a committed relationship last year.

Ziva:
Yes! Yes, but if I remember correctly, the only thing you were committed to was a one night stand.

Tony:
That's right. [clears throat] I just found out that she checked herself into a depression treatment facility after she wrapped her car around a tree. Nice one, huh?

Ziva:
And you feel responsible.

Tony:
No! I barely knew the girl. I'm just saying.

Ziva:
Well, clearly she was a troubled woman.

Tony:
It's clear now, isn't it?

Ziva:
Still, it must be unsettling to think that you didn't notice at the time, especially since it is your job to help people who are in trouble.

Tony:
I don't know why this has gotten under my skin like this. I mean, of all things. Maybe instead of having a mid-life crisis I'm having a mid-life crazy.

Ziva:
Look, you are not crazy, okay? You are just -- [pauses] -- growing up. And some lessons are more painful as we grown older when the stakes are higher, but you need to find balance. And yes, yes, yes, yes! You need to treat people more respectfully, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. But you, need to be who you are.

Tony:
Who am I?

Ziva:
You are Tony DiNozzo. The class clown. That is why we love you.
