- Even though they are not in the same room, this is still as Tiva as a scene can get therefore, it's on TIVAtv.
I love how Tony manages to lure Eli and make him say something he didn't want to. Shows how great his character is and why I like him more than James Bond.
Note: I decided it'd be good if I added the season each clip belonged to (and the episode number). I doubt it will hurt and if I don't do it now that there aren't many clips, I won't do it when there's a whole season of clips uploaded to the TIVAtv channel. Editing video details is a pain. :) - Розваги
The look on Eli's face the moment he realized Tony was the one interrogating him... priceless
And what makes it better is that he gets a confession.
Well, Tony DID warn him
I loved that Ziva was watching the whole thing!
Gibbs: "You threw him to the wolves, Leon. Let him fight his own way..."
Gibbs had every confidence in Tony to turn the tables.....
IF Gibbs wouldn't think for a moment that Dinolso wasn't ready he wouln't have gotten on that plane
3:57 That moment when the Director of Mossad realizes he's been had by the NCIS class clown.
On his home turf!
In front of his daughter!
and in front of Gibbs
and Leon
Well as they say never judge a the class clown by they way act
Because they will always will out smart you 😅
Tony caught Director Eli David in his own trap. Good work, Tony. Tony did warn him that he knew all the tricks of interrogation.
he LITERALLY did
@@dhinton1 In a later episode David and Vance talked about how DiNozzo got the better of him in this scene.
@@dwightlove3704it was later in this episode.
@@varianschirmer9375 Yes I remember that scene Eli had a friendship with Vance when they were both young.
@@varianschirmer9375 I was hoping that Tony really pushed Eli's buttons and talk about ADOLPH HITLER and ask him if they are related to show his obvious VIOLENT STREAK.
Act like the fool, and people will underestimate you.
The hardest part is not to be in the storm but to remain stoic during the storm to have answers and for that with regard to certain behaviors you do not need to be a fool but rather patient. (and then it forges the character ... / Sarcasm / Black Joke)
Exactly. And that's what Tony always does.
A ploy I've exploited on more than one occasion... then again I am also, on occasion a fool.
Well, Gibbs once said, "Do you think I hired him for his personality?"
Tony is solid. Gibbs might be hard to him but he knows his potential.
Yeah!! Gibbs, got it from Mike Frank's!
he personally recruited Tony into NCIS. as best as i recall ... there are only THREE agents that he's ever recruited INTO NCIS: Anthony DiNozzo. Caitlin Todd. and Eleanor Bishop.
i know he's brought others into HIS office ... but those others were already agents at the time.
@@dhinton1 yeah, I think he really see something in Tony. I mean, Kate was in Secret Service and Bishop was from NSA, but Tony was originally a police officer. It's a big step up.
One of my favorite lines of Gibbs is this:
"Tony likes to hide behind the face of a clown, but he's the best young agent I've ever worked with."
@@unhappymeatball he saw A LOT in Tony. hence why Gibbs told Tony to apply before Tony could consider quitting Baltimore PD.
Such a good scene. Tony acting exactly how he needed to to make Eli drop his guard in his arrogance and his superiority complex, making him forget that he had three other witnesses who wouldn't turn a blind eye even with an implied confession like that. One of Tony's best techniques is acting the fool to get others to say what he wants.
Some people don't like NCIS and while the shine on my nostalgia for them is wearing down, scenes like this are just too good.
I like how Eli finds himself more impressed than mad at the fact that he got played by Tony. Of course, Gibbs probably knew all along that he had something in mind. 😅 Otherwise, he would've tried to do something.
If Gibbs didn't think Tony was up for it, Tony would never have crossed the Atlantic.
@@dhinton1 he probably wouldn't have even let him leave
Gibbs KNEW that Tony was a brilliant interrogator .... a fact that, as we ALL know .... Tony warned Eli about.
As Gibbs himself said "You think I hired him for his personality"
This felt like a future father-in-law interrogating his future son-in-law before he marries his daughter
Stefania only if he knew that Dinozzo would be the father of his grandchild.
Rosie Azatyan He would always give DiNozzo and that child the look of disapproval because of this incident.
Have to say, most prospective fathers-in-law don't have access to interrogation chambers and squads of professional torturers.
Can't say. I've never met my father in law, but I know that my father probably did something remotely similar.
@@rosieazatyan5923 I think Tony would have actually died in that room if he had known that then. and ESPECIALLY if he had known his grandchild would be conceived in HIS OLD estate 😂😂
Well to be fair, Tony did tell Eli that he knows all the tricks. :) He was warned.
Eli was too impressed by his knowledge of Tony's dossier to be ready for Tony, the Interrogator...
The head of Mossad got played like a fiddle because he had no respect for his prey.
One of my favorite things about Tony is his ability to undermine and interrogate someone without them even knowing it. Even a someone trained in interrogation like eli, but Tony did warn him! Lol
And it wasn't like Eli was some easygoing interrogator. His entire life had been conflict and betrayals, man probably had forgotten more techniques than even Gibbs knows. But in this case, he's been too used to being obeyed, respected, and most of all feared, so when Tony gave him none of those, he had to prove it to him and let it slip.
Tony essentially used Eli's ego and trust issues against Eli.
Tony DiNozzo, interrogated by the boss of Mossad, still get his information and gives nothing, and that's why this show is awesome, characters like him.
+nahte123456 That's why Toni is one of the best agents the NCIS ever had, NIS included. Gibbs said it himself often enough.
Gibbs told Tony's father that he was the best field agent he'd ever worked with not that he was the best agent NCIS or NIS ever had.
jimster46 think by the time season 13 happens and tony left he would be considered one of the best ncis agents they ever had
jimster46 let's see here. You know that Gibbs worked together with the so called legend Franks, who is counted as possible the best agent NIS/NCIS ever had. Because I haven't heard of other "legends" who worked there. Now, when Gibbs mentioned DiNozze is the best agent he ever worked with, it would put him at least on par with Franks now, wouldn't it? And I never said THE best bit one of the best, didn't I? I really see no fault here.
It minds me of Dean when he meets Mafia Boss in S13 and is not sceard of him.
This is probably my favourite scene in the whole series. Tony just whips all kinds of ass - he all but tells Ziva he cares about her, gets her father to say that Rivken was only pursuing her under orders, and that the director of Mousad had more or less ordered a hit on an American agent.
He's such a badass
@Gaven Miller watch the show. Then come back and we will revisit your comment
@@RaymondStarkes nah he was right go away smartass
@@lila2986 you have zero clue what I am referring to since the commentors comment is no longer visible. So what are you trolling for? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@lila2986 nooo lol that's definitely NOT what he said lmfao. Every fan of TIVA knows Tony outsmarted Eli here. This was a true turning point to ziva seeing Tony's true feelings for her which led to her basically running away from it leading to her capture.
@@RaymondStarkes not only did she get captured, her father didn't even get her out of the mess she was in. The NCIS team did, lead by Tony himself. Allowing himself, and McGee to get captured, just to get her back and take down a violent terrorist.
DiNozzo is one of my favorites characters in NCIS. Michael Weatherly plays the part brilliantly. I love how on the surface he seems like an over-grown teenager, while beneath that facade, he's a very witty and competent agent. This is one of the best and memorable scenes in the series. Thanks for posting this.
Nah Dwight that would be a too low hanging fruit for our Tony, he's got class! ;)
LupusAries Screw that having class why not use anything towards you having an advantage in a interrogation.And what better way to get the attention of your interrogator than mentioned the name of his most HATED ENEMY!!!!!!
Think about it........what was Tony's end goal?
LupusAries I know he got Eli angry just saying that if he mentioned ADOLPH HITLER that would have sped up the process immediately!!!!!
Yer still not getting it.............I'll give you a small tipp.............who else would a mention of Uncle Adolf made mad?
Tony at his all time best. Smart ass attitude and leading the charge. Winning with a look to the camera and with a grin on his face...that's why he is the "very special agent."
This scene reminds me of when Gibbs and Tony's dad were talking. I just rewatched the clip given the context. He said "Tony hides behind the face of a clown. But he's the best young agent I've ever worked with". That says it all right there.
When the joker stops joking you know it's gotten beyond serious. See also Spiderman and Deadpool.
Under all that goofing and joking arould Tony is as hard as rock.
As Abby said "no wonder he is so tense he is all muscle"
Tony, at a full out run, shooting two guys dead, then swan diving into the harbor to save Gibbs and his daughters best friend from drowning, is about as bad ass as it gets.
@@JamesBrown-nz1um I remember that line. That was classic Abby and Tony.
@@Vnachi8 THAT was impressive. He didn't even break stride to dive face first in after Gibbs.
And calculating
NCIS has not been the same without Dinozo and Ziva !
I think the loss of recurring characters like Eli David, Diane Fornell, CID Agent Mann, CGIS Agent Bourne... the loss of a showrunner, the loss of the writers that gave us storylines and backstories...
Missing Tony & Ziva is putting it too simply.
The tapestry was more complex back then.
This scene had multiple threads to it.
Director Vance was skeptical of DiNozzo until this point.
Director David clearly underestimated Tony... who was proving a point to both his boss and Director David's daughter.
Gibbs's confidence in DiNozzo's skill at interrogation is not misplaced.
The mention of Ziva's half-brother, whom Ziva shot dead in the Gibbs basement, possibly taking orders from Ziva's father right up until his end... wonder if that had crossed her mind before Tony threw out his "You send all your Rogue Agents to D.C..." line...
Ziva appears to angered by her father's unplanned admission... either because she's mad at herself for not trusting Tony to begin with or her father meddling in her career & personal life.
It's a complex scene... one that the show currently would be hard pressed to do now since the "back bench" needs reinforcements and the characters in play now have thin backstories compared to the David family.
This is typical Tony, even when being interrogated he was able to turn the tables. He hides behind humor which throws people off while actually outsmarting most of them. Of course when need be he does get very serious and only takes crap from Gibbs but virtually no one else.
Right.
Virtually no one except Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
and Ziva David.
I can distinctly remember Tony respectfully telling Director Shepard what boundaries he was NOT going to cross in his recap about the undercover op SHE assigned him to after it went south in the S5 opener. He pushed himself right up against the line of insubordination with SecNav on the undercover assignment HE put him on that spanned the S9 opener. and I'm sure he's pushed boundaries with Director Vance once or twice, but no specific incident is coming to mind right now.
Love when Tony gets the spotlight. He's normally portrayed as this silly guy who doesn't take anything serious. Serious Tony is awesome Tony.
"And I'm not certain how you can classify my visit as a visit"
Love this line:-)
Still, you gotta love his brief "Dammit" look as he knows he's ruining the joke, so to speak.
"What kind of father throws an out of control Assassin at his daughter?"
when Tony walked this line ........ it was lights OUT.
this was NCIS at its ABSOLUTE peak.
He wasn't even doing the interrogating and he got what he wanted, this is why I love Tony and hate that he left the show. It's not the same without him.
One of the best rules I've learned in my adult life .... when I go on job interviews, I also am interviewing the company that I applied to work for. I have to do my research into the company, too. I have to be prepared.
This is the EXACT attitude Tony had. Tony was ALWAYS interrogating Eli. He just let Eli do most of the talking cuz, in the end, he wanted Eli to tell him everything that needed to be said aloud.
Michael is a very underrated actor. He took the character of Tony Dinozzo and made it something special with many layers.
The face of a clown, the heart of a warrior.
Leon, genuinely impressed.
He should've known by now that Tony is not one to screw around with. Never confuse style with intent.
The thing is that season 6 was based around the fact that Vance didn't like DiNozzo. This was the point where Vance saw what everybody else did
@@MeSaluNot I dunno if Vance liked/disliked DiNozzo ... but I think Vance had questions about DiNozzo stemming from the security detail DiNozzo was assigned to that cost Shepard her life. plus, there was that inquiry where DiNozzo was framed for a murder that (from an outsider's perspective) was pretty solid. Gibbs AND his team were heavily under his radar through S6 in McGee's and DiNozzo's cases, and into early S7 in Ziva's.
@@dhinton1the director's predecessor didn't want Tony caught up in another of her messes, much less killed. Shepard also didn't want Ziva killed defending her.
Leon's "Well, I'll be damned" at the end. Priceless.
Tony's look into the camera was the ultimate microphone drop. Bam! Johnny F'ing Chan!
"How many times did I tell DiNozzo to leave his smartass attitude back in D.C.?"
"Should've checked his bags..."
lmao Gibbs xD
Take one for the team
Ziva walks in 😠
Oh he already has 😅
The
Gibbs looks like he should be sitting there with a bucket of popcorn.
Almost like he knows DiNozzo was gonna get the best of Eli David... the rest is dinner theatre.
@@varianschirmer9375 oh, Gibbs knew ....... he didn't know HOW, but he knew.
people ALWAYS underestimate Tony .... but Tony was the best agent that served UNDER him (Mike Franks and Jenny Shepard were never UNDER his command. they were peers).
@@ghampster21 Gibbs knew they had feelings for each other before even they did.
The look that Tony gives at 03:51 is priceless.
It's a boxers strategy, pretend to be strong when weak and pretend to be weak when strong. Tony acted like he was on the defense to lure him in when he started to quote his report dialog. Director David went in for the kill but Tony knew he could make him emotional by being a smart ass and played those cards while being able to take his shot with asking him the one important question. A knockout blow from a wounded fighter.
These scenes with Ziva's father were NCIS gold. Life didn't get better than this for this story/show. I would look forward to whenever the Israelis would show up and especially when it involved Eli. You would know that things are about to hit the fan in a big way. It would also be a great time for Vance to shine because he was so closely tied with Eli. The show just didn't GET bigger than this. And sadly, it never will again.
This resonates so much with me. The show was at its high point during those days.
one special Israeli is back ;)
Good times. Don't know why writers like Jesse Stern didn't run things more after sn7, he once told me he worked too hard on that season.
I agree. He, Franks, and Fornell are what helped make the show great as well. You have to have great guest characters on a great show.
I love that scene. So many times in that series, people made fun of Tony or didn't take him seriously and most of the time they would make them pay dearly for it. Gibbs may have been the father figure, but Tony was the heart of the NCIS team. The show was never the same after he left.
Tony's finest moment.
MakeMeThinkAgain one of many
@Lesevesel Gibbs is always proud of him and, as he once said, he would trust him anytime.
Truth or Consequences....
You know, for all the years I'd been watching NCIS I always asked myself how comes Tony holds such a high esteem in Gibbs' eyes. And now here is the answer.
once you realise what this scene shows, and go back and re-watch a lot of his other efforts, you really quickly realise that he is actaully scary competant and uses humour as a cover. hes really, really good at his job, and dozens of people, evens ones like Director Eli here, keep underestimating him as just a joker.
If you watch the FIRST time Gibbs saw Dinozzo (the flashbacks in the S8 'Baltimore' episode ... #22, I do believe), you'll also understand that it goes back to when Gibbs basically ordered him to apply to become a NCIS Special Agent. as Gibbs HIMSELF told DiNozzo .... you don't waste good.
Not to mention ducky told Tony that Gibbs was a lot like Tony until he caught that serial killer who was cutting out tongues.
@@dhinton1Rule # 5.
This is why he is a very special Agent.
Like Tony said to the soldier/ terrorist when they were being held captive trying to rescue Ziva, "I'm the wild card...".
I second that Leon "Well I'll be damned!" And well played Dinozzo
One of the best writing and acting in NCIS history. All in 4 minutes!
I never realized this before. But seeing as Tony is created as a movie nut, this is clearly him using A Few Good Men on Director David.
You can’t handle the truth ❤️
3/2020: Ah, I saw the clip and INSTANTLY remembered this episode....Weatherly OWNED this role and it was epic ....
i like how no one ever mentions the fact that rivkin was told to leave many times by ncis and that tony told rivkin to stop when he pulled the glass out of himself and tony even tried to save his life
it certainly was in the report that Ziva (by her own words) memorized.
It was a Mossad operative killed by a US federal agent after resisting lawful arrest by said federal agent for murdering another US federal agent in the process of spying on a top-secret US security meeting. That had the potential to cause an international explosion of political nightmare.
ziva's dad might be evil, but at least he's smart enough to know tony likes ziva.
Even Helen Keller could see that.
Eli David wasn't evil. He had some rogue motives, but rogue and evil aren't nearly the same.
@@dhinton1 using your own kid as a weapon from birth is pretty evil
Michaels Nouri/Weatherly both played each other off brilliantly : if evidence were needed why NCIS is so successful, this is one of many reasons - priceless!.
Revisiting iconic Tiva scenes since ZIVA IS BACK YA'LL
The director of Mossad interrogating the future father of his granddaughter
Tragically, Eli died before his granddaughter was conceived. Death has followed the David family like a shadow.
Ziva really got the short end of it.
She has a daughter, but her father, mother, sister, and half-brother are in the ground already. Did she have any family left?
This is their version of Tony asking Eli's permission to marry his daughter.
The moment Leon was truly impressed with Tony.
This is a damn good scene, in the end it show Vance that Tony was very, very good at what he does!
Tony is a little bit sharper and ballsy than Vance gives him credit for.
at this point ..... a LOT more so.
you hafta remember ... this was a year after the "protection detail assignment" that ended Director Shepard's life. so, Director Vance was still figuring Tony out himself.
@@dhinton1Where Shepard directed Tony & Ziva away from a firefight.
Tony's tactics are inch perfect. Talk about getting someone to fall on their own sword!
when writing excellence and performance excellence marry each other - is a thing of beauty. Make no mistake, this is storytelling at it's best - somebody wrote the progression of this conversation to lead to an inevitable conclusion that would be both entertaining, believable, and powerful. But, the best writing in the world falters if the performers don't perform, and Michael Weatherly (sp?) performs. I love watching content and execution combine forces, and NCIS has a lot of that, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back to the show over and over again.
You got realize how bad ass scene is Tony is only NCIS Agent or anybody could take on King of Mossad one Eli David and Ziva dad
Too bad he is dead I want see that family dinner
Did...did you have a stroke
Seasons 6-10 where golden for this show. It died off after that but my goodness the cast and the storylines during those years where the reason is had (and even still has) high ratings.
And Jesse penned one heck of a 7th season. Just outstanding!
@@vb8428 who is jesse?
@@rcmanization Jesse Stern. He has written some video games. He left after sn8, started as a small writer on some episodes but was the showrunner season 7 & 8.
He wrote a lot of sn7 episodes, there's just something special about his dialogue and stories
@@vb8428 i see. do you know him personally? otherwise, it's weird that you called him just jesse - and just assumed everybody would know him on a first name basis
@@rcmanization Oh, we worked together for a bit a few years ago. He used to tell us how much he worked on that season
Dang, even Vance was surprised, that was AWESOME!!!
Tony was my favourite...I have not watched much since he left, but I do own all the DVD sets so my mom can watch still!
Dinozzo said it at the beginning one of his biggest roles at NCIS is as the interrogator. He knows all the tricks and he is good at his job
I think the loss of recurring characters like Eli David, Diane Fornell, CID Agent Mann, CGIS Agent Bourne... the loss of a showrunner, the loss of the writers that gave us storylines and backstories...

Good gracious I love Tony. He is such a BADASS!
Tony is a master of the subtle art of being underestimated.
Tony may act a goof, but he's greatly misjudged. He actually punked Director David like a professional and the Director fell for it. never under-estimate your opponent, no matter who they are, if you do, you end up regretting it.
he had warned him that it was gonna happen. but YES ... Eli David paid for underestimating Anthony DiNozzo Jr. That's why Eli could only chuckle when he realized that he had been checkmated by his OWN words.
Tony played this like a straight gangster
I love Tony and his attitude! haha
"So is your shirt. What is that: Zegna? Cavalli? Nice taste."
"If this about my Twitter page...I can get pretty chatty."
"Speaking of father, what kind of father would thrown an out-of-control assassin at his daughter?"
Tony NEVER let Eli gain any kind of control in this interrogation. He knows...every...trick in interrogation and in Eli's extreme hubris, blew him off.
My guy, Tony DiNozzo, ladies and gentlemen.
Tony is a genius i miss this show
May be my favorite scene from the entire run of the show. Love how Tony kicks his ... Like later how Eli says I underestimated your Agent DiNozzo.
William McMahon you got that shot ?
"The Dinozzo Method. It's not pretty but you gotta admire the results." - Gibbs
Well I guess Ziva's father will never like Tony, but he knows that Tony would die for Ziva and Tony would do anything for her
Eli did like Tony, especially after this. lol
I think a thank you is in order to the film crew that shot this scene and made us feel like we were in the room with a seat at the table...
...something Dick Wolf understood during Law & Order.
...something the showrunners at CSI Miami forgot during season 3 when they started shooting interrogation scenes from across a hallway with a prism on a file cabinet... because someone liked how the light shined in their eyes. Like they got bored with actually filming performances.
Here, the scene isn't filled with gadget shots or 720 degree rotation shots like West Wing did to show they could.
They just let the performance be the focus.
Amazing how many shows forget to do that.
Leon's reaction is the best!!!
alberto sandoval cuevas Yes well I'll be dammed lol he saw DiNozzo make the comeback!!!!!
alberto sandoval cuevas: Like a BOSS!.
@@dwightlove3704 Tony never had to come back. He led Eli along the WHOLE interrogation. AFTER he warned him.
@@dhinton1 If I was Tony I would have REALLY TESTED ELI by asking if he was related to ADOLPH HITLER!!!!!
@@dwightlove3704 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 #imdying
I swear Eli was more soulless then Ari in one episode he Eli told Leon Gibbs is a thief taking his daughter away if I was Gibb I tell Eli I DIDN'T TAKE ZIVA YOU DROVE HER AWAY
You turned her against me!
You have done that yourself.
You will not take her from me!
Your anger and your lust for power have already done that.
Gibbs didn't hafta SAY it.
Eli figured it out himself.
What an excellent scene. A competent Tony is a hott Tony. Thanks for posting :)
i love when vance says well i'll be damned
3:52, that "See" Tony does to Ziva through the camera and by her reaction she didn't know her father send Rivking to kill her.
He didn’t send him there to Kill Ziva. He sent him there to kill Saleem by any means necessary
He sent him there to disgrace her and destroy her relationship with NCIS, forcing her to come home. She did. Then she gets captured by Saleem but NCIS are the ones who rescue her and the rest is history.
Ziva definitely didn't know that Rivkin was SENT to Ziva by her father.
@@andrewleah1983setting Ziva up as a secret terrorist. Or conspirator.
Idc what anyone says, this was the best era of NCIS. Gibbs Tony McGee Ziva Abby Ducky Palmer and Vance was my favorite tv team, I will miss it dearly
" your sarcasm is noted " - and eli´s face be like: shit, of all people out there she had to find him xD
This episode has always been one of my all-time favorites from the entire show, and this is one of the many moments as to why.
They were never able to replace Michael Weatherly. The ones they have now are Flat
Besides Weatherley's already great performance, it also fits tony's chararter so well, this scene is right out of a few good men. Fantastic writing
Gibbs on so many difficult occasions praised DiNozzo and held him to the highest regard, it was usually done in Tony’s absence. Off the top of my head the scenes I remember which Gibbs held him to high regard was when:
1. Ari infiltrated NCIS and Gibbs said to Tony I want someone I trust to be at the top and run things
2. When he called him his loyal St. Bernard when Director Shepherd was asking for a status update from the team and Tony was the last to cave in
3. When Tony was in Baltimore PD and came across Gibbs for the first time and Gibbs told him he doesn’t waste good so encouraged him to apply as NCIS agent
4. When Maddie Taylor and Gibbs reversed back into the water and Tony singlehandedly took everyone down and saved both of their lives. Gibbs knew Tony would find him and back him up
5. When Tony inhaled the powder from the letter in SWAK episode and Gibbs was looking through the camera to see who was there since they left office the night before and saw Tony come back. He gave a proud grin and said “he does his best work at night”
6. When he left Tony in charge of the team when he quit
7. When Tony had enough and asked for Gibbs to start finding Ziva and orchestrated everything. Gibbs didn’t lash out at him and respected his stance
8. When DiNozzo senior and Gibbs met for the first time and Gibbs asked about their relationship and praised DiNozzo that he is the best agent he ever worked with
I’m sure there are many more that I have forgotten over the years but there is no doubt throughout the show that Gibbs’ right hand man has always been DiNozzo
#6 doesn't count, at that moment in time Gibbs had no clue who Tony DiNozzo was, he had to be told a few scenes before that he was his 2IC.
30th time+ Ive seen this. The last part never gets old.
I still come back to this scene occasionally to bask in how good it feels to watch. Lol what a delicious "fuck you" moment from Tony to Eli.
"Just tell him 'Agent Meatball' says hi."
"He would not be joking with you if he did not like you, Tony, believe me."

Even Eli is impressed.
Tony is a bit of a womanizer, an annoying movie nut, but his mind is as sharp as anyone in NCIS. *Cries* COME BACK TO US TONY
Awesome scene in quite a story-arc
The one thing I have never understood about this was, Director Vance is Supposed to be a Boxer and yet he doesn't recognize a Rope a Dope when he sees it. It's only one of the most famous boxing strategies of all time.
Vance didn't believe DiNozzo could turn the tables on Eli David... any more than Eli David did.
Gibbs was sitting there like he should have had popcorn & a beer... he totally expected what happened.
NCIS is one of the few shows that creates intense characters in recurring roles.
Eli David's backstory, dolled out in little portions over several years, makes me miss such rich storytelling.
For 2 characters that never interacted directly much... this was a gripping scene.
Eli was a really enjoyable character to watch. This scene is great
This scene is the best scene of this season.
"Its ok. I dig hanging out in concrete bunkers especially after 12 hour plane rides in cramped quarters.."
I dig*
grandpa questioning abba, tali should be freaked. aaahhhhh m miss them both of them. still watching it after years
Vance:well I'll be damned. This is my favourite line in this scene. But Dinozzo has a way with people I'll give him that :D
I really loved Tony he was my fav character and that's saying alot cuz they were all super awesome. Tiva pairing was just what I needed after Tate
Tonys look in the camera was a ta da
Dinozzo is a class clown and he knows how to use that to his advantage. This is a perfect example!
If there was one person who would take Ziva's biological father, it's Tony!
One of my favorites scenes ever
Tony has the AUDACITY to challenge Eli...and WINS. I was impressed, and now I am starting to think he might be a Leo.
He said his sign was cancer in one scene. …But if you meant leo as in law enforcement agent. Ignore this comment.
@@ritikalizrengit9056 Ooh cancer makes a lot of sense!
The pinnacle of what was once the greatest show on Earth!
the truth comes out Daddy is the Bad guy and Rifkin was following orders
I love watching this scene over and over, I always laugh when he traps Eli.
He's really good here as Eli David, but I still picture Michael Nouri in Flashdance.
