NCIS, Season 10
(Gibbs confronts Dearing at the house where Dearing's son Evan was born; he listens to tapes from Evan's Navy service)
Dearing:
[from the kitchen] Turn that off, will you? Evan used to send us cassette tapes to listen to, see how he was doing... please.
[Gibbs shuts the tape player off, and looks inside the kitchen, where Dearing is working with a coffee machine]
Dearing:
Trying to make you a nice cup of coffee. I know you like it, but this... [chuckles] This machine is impossible. How about something stronger?
[Dearing pours two glasses of whiskey and offers one to Gibbs, who shakes his head]
Dearing:
I'm glad you came, Gibbs. I was hoping you'd figure it out eventually - the house where Evan was born. I'm sure you have similar feelings for Kelly's home. "Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it." Mary Shelley. [pause] You and I are a lot alike, you know. You made one decision, I made another. We both did what we had to do. [walks over to the window, with a gun on the windowsill; Gibbs spots it, and pulls his knife] You have a job to do, Gibbs; I've done mine. Do I have regrets? Yeah... some. But not all. Maybe things happen for a reason.
[Dearing grabs the gun and turns, but Gibbs knocks it from his hand and stabs him; Dearing stares at him before slumping to the floor, dead]
