I'm profoundly deaf Australian chick, and I love this bit :D. I did not catch the whole of what Gibbs/Abs said, but i DID catch Gibbs saying "I Love You" - that's the universal sign among Deaf people around the world :)
There are at least three or four different ways that I can think of offhand in ASL alone to say "I love you", not including signing out the individual words, and not including the fact that like any language, there are colloquialisms--phrase (signs) used in very specific geographic areas and not seen elsewhere.
@ElisabethSwannRULES Yup, just caught that, Again, it's hard to tell--that sign is a colloquialism or what hearing people would call "slang". I'm 35, Canadian...don't think I've ever said "rock on". Signed it. Whatever.
This is like the onebillionth time that I've clicked this 'cause a misread the title to "Abby and Gibbs singing" And it always dissapoints me when they don't! :DD Nah, they could never dissapoint me!
@WildKit thats not it "love" is used with 2 arms across your chest anyway does anyone know the full range of sign I assume Gibbs signed ":Good Work ABs" is that right?
@kathrynIS yes that is how you sign "Love" in ASL...two arms crossed over your chest..."I Love You" as in what you tell your child or sibling or loved one is what Gibbs signed. ask any Soda or Coda or interpeter...or ASL teacher...do you really want to get into this? I was raised on ASL.
@kayleighhumphries101 That's a pretty unnecessary comment. I tagged the video well enough to inform all who visit that this is an N.C.I.S. video. You don't have to hate on it.
i actually take this back.......................i've started watching a few ncis episodes and i gotta say, i actually kinda like it. best episode so far is "undercovers" ................ and its (or its characters) are nothing like csi!!!!!!!!!!!
gibbs would kill horatio in 5 seconds and is a lot cooler than horatio, the coolest guy there ever was in miami is Johnny Crocket, he served in the nam, so he would understand Gibbs a bit better, he also lost his pregnant wife and killed her killer.
hmmm, there seems to be a pattern with cool guys.
they also both have boats and don't like hip music.
@kimlevi94 theres nothing wrong with being dyslexic I am dyslexic and clearly Know the differences I no your just saying what Dinozzo said in the first one but They do know the diffidents
I think one of the best parts are that Mark Harmon really does know how to sign! Since he co-stared in the show Reasonable Doubts with Marlee Matlin and had to use it often.
I have that as a ringtone.....true, he's not an extraordinary singer.....but there is something......"chicken noodle soup for the soul" about his voice....does that make sense?
Good television writers use things about the actors or skills they have in the stories. Mark Harmon signed for 2 years in a series called Reasonable Doubts co-starring with Marlee Matlin - the Oscar winning actress who is deaf. I'm sure Pauley and Mark ended up signing on the set and the writers put it in the series. I hope they come up with a cool reason that Gibbs knows it is some future story.
Thats cool, but in an interview, Pauley said she doesn't know how to sign and when she has to on the show, she has someone to work with her. But she did say that if she had the time she would love to learn how.
see i know it comes off as flirty but i realy do think that he feels real affection towards her and is INCREDIBLY fatherlike to her, and in a episode where abby begins 2 ask gibbs advice on a tattoo, she then realises who shes talking to and if they were anything but a father daughter relationship the she would have flirted sum more? dont know if anyone else agrees? i hvnt seen past season 5 so i dnt speak for the later seasons, only the first few lol.
I would call their relationship more playful than flirty. The characters love each other - I would not say father daughter. Gibbs is more avuncular to Abby (just as Ducky is).
Frankly what makes NCIS work is not the action/drama so much as the familial/romantic relationships between the characters.
... one of my teachers is a good friend of the man who plays gibbs ... i can't remember his name ... luckily she and my mom are friends (cause my mom is a teacher too) but i would really love to meet him but honestly i unfortunatly can't think of a reason why i would since i am just the daughter of my ex-teachers friend but my mom said if she ever thought there was a chance she would bring me along to meet him
OH! right XD my mom has told me that before but i forgot and i never can pay attention to credits lol, i love gibbs though ... very handsome man o///o .... i might just be 18 and he is a good deal older but that has never stood in my way from liking someone before ...
abfirefighterchick: My Uncle was a Navy Seal, and my Uncle's friend was a Marine. (Both fought in Vietnam) They said it was required to learn certain sign language. So it's possible Gibbs learned it from that. Most Marine/Navy hand signs are very similar to ASL. I was taught some of the things that my Uncle and his friend knew. :) It really ticked my Mother off though. XD!
Oh I agree, that's what I posted earlier as well. My thought was that he probably had some more influence in the language beyond just that. Most likely they would stick to more basic signs to use for survival/combat.
When Tony asked him where he learned it in 'Sea Dog' he ignored him. Usually if it was a Marine training skill he would tell him(when he asked him about other things he could do)so I figured that there was a more personal connection to it as well.
I want to learn sign language sooooo badly. Like, truly badly. Insanely badly. Is there a good website to learn from for free? My car is kind of a gas guzzler, thus having not a lot of money : (
Actually, Abby's Mother was deaf, it never says her Father is. Therefore, her Father isn't deaf. Her Mother was, and they comunicated through singing.
Gibbs was in the Marines, and in the Marines, Navy, Army and National Guard, they're taught to sign language to comunicate if they can't through words. :) So yes it is a part of Marine training.
In 'Sea Dog' Gibbs tells Tony that Abby's Parents were deaf. Later episode Abby says that 'Gloria' told her that lip reading wasn't her strongest suit. Kate asks Gibbs, "Gloria her deaf sister?"Gibbs replies, " Mother."
If he only knows it because of being a Marine then it would be called MSL, (Marine Sign Language),it is what Snipers use between each other.
I am guessing that a lot of signs are similar but with the amount he knows I would guess that he learned ASL or Signed English somewhere.
LOL, which part? The episodes I just remember the details. The MSL, because I know someone in the military and the other signs and how fluently he signs them is why I guess he know civilian sign language from somewhere.
Plus, in 'Sea Dog' Tony asks him how he knows sign language and he wouldn't answer him because it is personal, if it was just something he learned in the Marines he would have probably said so.
She says in 'Sea Dog' one of the first episodes, I think she tells him, "You've still got the touch."
I took that to mean after all the years he has known sign language. As much as he cares for Abby I don't see him learning it to impress her and since she isn't deaf it wouldn't be to really help her.
Then again we are all just making interesting guesses, right? LOL
Marine Sign Language yes, he would have learned while training and being a Sniper. They need non verbal communication during missions because they work in teams of 3 usually.
However I am betting that he knows ASL and Signed English as well.
Michael Weatherly's real life father really did import Swiss Army knives and tools, which led to his family's wealth.
According to Don Belisarius, Pauley also graduated cum laude from college. I believe he said that her degree is in forensic sciences, which she said she's always wanted to do.
I don't even know anymore what's the real story as I recall in a show sometime about four years ago, she said she grew up learning ASL from her deaf parents. It's weird now.
Maybe you're mixing things up. Abby did grow up with deaf parents but Pauley didn't. Pauley loves sign language, though, but she's not fluent. She only knows a few signs because of her deaf friends :)
the way Gibbs loves Abby, I just adore him for that.

A CODA is a Child Of Deaf Adults. Abbys parents are deaf.
I understand why they are signing at that time, that is not what I was wondering.
I was wondering why Gibbs signs at all. Was it part of his Marine training?
mrsfrd 2 years ago
Actually, Abby's Mother was deaf, it never says her Father is. Therefore, her Father isn't deaf. Her Mother was, and they comunicated through singing.
Gibbs was in the Marines, and in the Marines, Navy, Army and National Guard, they're taught to sign language to comunicate if they can't through words. :) So yes it is a part of Marine training.

Probably why she listens to her music so loud! She could growing up because they wouldn't have told her to turn it down! LOL

In season one episode three (Seadog) Gibbs tells Tony that Abby'sparents were deaf.

In 'Sea Dog' Gibbs tells Tony that Abby's Parents were deaf. Later episode Abby says that 'Gloria' told her that lip reading wasn't her strongest suit. Kate asks Gibbs, "Gloria her deaf sister?"Gibbs replies, " Mother."
If he only knows it because of being a Marine then it would be called MSL, (Marine Sign Language),it is what Snipers use between each other.
I am guessing that a lot of signs are similar but with the amount he knows I would guess that he learned ASL or Signed English somewhere.

Wow, how do you know that all?

LOL, which part? The episodes I just remember the details. The MSL, because I know someone in the military and the other signs and how fluently he signs them is why I guess he know civilian sign language from somewhere.
Plus, in 'Sea Dog' Tony asks him how he knows sign language and he wouldn't answer him because it is personal, if it was just something he learned in the Marines he would have probably said so.

I always thought he mastered it to help Abby or because she asked or something like that.

She says in 'Sea Dog' one of the first episodes, I think she tells him, "You've still got the touch."
I took that to mean after all the years he has known sign language. As much as he cares for Abby I don't see him learning it to impress her and since she isn't deaf it wouldn't be to really help her.
Then again we are all just making interesting guesses, right? LOL

Marine Sign Language yes, he would have learned while training and being a Sniper. They need non verbal communication during missions because they work in teams of 3 usually.
However I am betting that he knows ASL and Signed English as well.

Michael Weatherly's real life father really did import Swiss Army knives and tools, which led to his family's wealth.
According to Don Belisarius, Pauley also graduated cum laude from college. I believe he said that her degree is in forensic sciences, which she said she's always wanted to do.

and his father also disowned him, when he went into acting.

@MylaHarpa Same here, I didn't know Pauley's parents were really deaf. You really DO learn something new all the time.

i don't think so,, cause she's said in interviews that she doesn't know ASL except for the basics and for what she has to do on the show

@triplexxxsatyr No her parents aren't deaf. She didn't grow up with ASL, she got a teacher to learn the ASL she needed for the scenes.
Pauley: "I have a few deaf friends, but the show sent me an ASL teacher."

I don't even know anymore what's the real story as I recall in a show sometime about four years ago, she said she grew up learning ASL from her deaf parents. It's weird now.

Maybe you're mixing things up. Abby did grow up with deaf parents but Pauley didn't. Pauley loves sign language, though, but she's not fluent. She only knows a few signs because of her deaf friends :)
Aikana591 1 year ago
I recall her saying that she knew ASL off-the-set. Whatever. It doesn't diminish my respect for Pauley.
