NCIS ORIGINS: 1.09 | Vivo o Muerto

“At work, you put yourself in a box. You know, you speak up enough to show you’re not a pushover but not enough to be a bitch. They tell a joke, you tell an even racier one.

“You wanna talk about it?”

MAN this scene! Watching Lala start to slip up and everyone giving her shit for it instead of caring was so well portrayed I genuinely got pissed lol. And then Vera completely understanding her and being the only one in Lala’s corner.. god their friendship is one of the best things in the show. Also you just gotta love Strickland in general :,)

Kelly, the simple truth is that you are magic to me. Whenever I’m at my lowest, you lift me up. You never leave my side.
