"You'd give Kate a reason to shoot you in less than a minute, and I'm sure as hell not dancin' with you."
Kate bit her lip not to laugh at Tony and Gibbs bickering. It was hilarious, but she really didn't want to get in the middle of it, didn't want Gibbs to maybe decide he'd make her dance with Tony after all.
