I can’t remember the exact wording, but it was in season 1 with Hetty. Callen says something to the effect of I have a guardian angel, she’s tiny but tough. If anyone remembers the exact wording, let me know.
I also love the banter scenes between Callen and Sam, too many to list here.

“Hetty. She is the only one…”
“Continue Mr. Callen, continue.”
“With the authority.” 1×09
and
“Criminals take Christmas off just like the rest of us. Even the bad guys don’t like be on the naughty list.” 4×10
So many great Callen quotes to choose from!!! Basically, I just love everything that comes out of his mouth 😉 Heh heh
I do like this quote from season one, though:
“Sam sees the glass as half full, I see it as half empty … Kensi, on the other hand, just drinks straight out of the bottle; Nate wonders why it has to be a glass; and Eric usually breaks the glass by putting his feet up on the table!” – Season 1, Episode 14
And another favourite “moment:”
“Is that a frog?” 😉
Mako
“Bacon is my friend.”
“if you’re natural, I’m supernatural.”
” Something you need to understand about Mr. Carl. He likes to party.”
Rayanne
“I will take a bullet for you, but wives are a whole other thing.
“Hey, I don’t break the rules. I just bend ’em.”
“You gotta be kidding me. I’m being shot at by a Jonas brother… ”
Nell – “Am I in trouble?
Callen: “No… But next time, pick on someone your own size.”
“Yeah, having a shotgun pointed at me tends to bring out my natural glow.”
I Feel Possessed
I agree that Callen has some wonderful one liners. I have loads of favourites but the one that currently stands out for me is from Reznikov N, when Callen says that a foster dad beat him and Kensi asks if he was moved because of it. His response is to remain looking at the photo and say that “they moved me because one day I took the broom handle out of his hand and broke it over his head.”
(Sorry if quote is slightly wrong – poor memory!)

So many great Callen quotes, some of them funny, some revealing a little bit about his character…
I love the ones that were mentioned here. Without a doubt „Is that a frog?“ is an all-time classic!
The one from “Reznikov, N” about the foster dad and the glance that Kensi and Deeks exchange afterwards says so much about Callen’s character in my opinion.
There was another one in S5 that stuck out for me (not really a funny one-liner but very memorable):
I was „The Tribe of One“. (Tuhon, S5x15).
Looking forward to many more great Callen quotes in S6!
