Quotes

(Abby breaks a bit of Gibbs' boat)
Abby: Suddenly having a stalker on the loose isn't so scary. (edit)
Abby: This is so embarrassing! Okay, in my defense, what self-respecting drug dealer cuts his cocaine with potassium cyanide.
McGee: Obviously one that doesn't care about repeat business. (edit)
(To McGee)
Tony: Where's your chair?
Gibbs: He doesn't deserve to sit. (edit)
Abby: McGee! You came all the way down here to see me in my court suit!
McGee: No...
Abby: You totally did!
McGee: No, I did not...
Abby: Your mouth lies but your red ears are telling the truth! (edit)

Trivia

add »
TRIVIA: McGee's MIT shirt when you look in a mirror says Tim. (edit)
GOOF: The camera memory card that Tony uses is never in the camera. Tony has it in his right hand and pretends to remove it from the camera. (edit)
TRIVIA: Gibbs and Director Shepard both like Jamaican blend coffee, black with no cream or sugar. (edit)
GOOF: When McGee was filling Gibbs about the warm in Abby's computer, after Gibbs gives him back his chair, we can clearly see that there is no continuity in the scene when the camera angle changed he wasn't moving his lips when he should be saying "boss." (edit)
TRIVIA: Abby accused McGee of trying to see her in her "Court Suit" when he was asking her if she was done, did she have to go back to court,etc (when the two of them were in the lab) Later when Abby came out of court after testifying, for the second time, she didn't say anything to McGee about him finally seeing her in her "Court Suit" and McGee didn't comment on it either. (edit)

Allusions

add »
There are several references to the movie "The Shining." The crime scene has a note saying "RedRum" which is murder spelled backward. Tony also makes a comment on all they need now is a delusional boy and a man in a bear suit. Both are references from "The Shining." (edit)
Ducky: I see you've vacated the elevator.
Abby: It wasn't quite so cozy after an hour with Queen Boudica.

Boudica was a queen of a Celtic nation in southeast Britain in the first century C.E. (Her name is sometimes spelled as also Boudicca, Boadicea, Buduica or Bonduca). She is famous for having led her armiies to so many victories against the Romans that the emperor considered withdrawing from Brittania altogether. Abby obviously refers to the female lawyer's aggressiveness.

However, Abby pronounces the name [Boo dik a]; according to Celtic linguists, the proper pronunciation is [Bow di ka]. (edit)
