Abby: (referring to McGee's jacket) It's really soft. Rub that against a certain part of your body...
McGee: You didn't!
Abby: I don't even have that part! (edit) Ziva: Special Agent Gibbs asked me to accompany you. I am Officer David.
Sanders: I'd shake your hand, but...
Ziva: Actually, it would be best to avoid all bodily contact.
Sanders: You sound just like my prom date. (edit) Abby: You said he coughed on you.
McGee: (sighs) Yes.
Abby: So I need to check all of your clothing for radiation, if you are exposed...
(McGee removes his underwear and hands it to Abby)
McGee: Yeah. I feel exposed. (edit) (Abby is sucking the last drops out of her Caf-Pow!)
Gibbs: (trying to wrench the Caf-Pow! away from her) Abbs, it's over.
Abby: I just hate to see the first one of the morning end. (edit) (McGee comes to pick up his $2000 jacket)
McGee: Thank you for taking care of my jacket.
Abby: You're welcome.
(McGee notices a big patch has been cut out of the jacket sleeve)
McGee: Aaaah!
Abby: What? I promised you I wouldn't stain it... just put your hand over it like this.
McGee: That looks very natural, thank you. (edit)

TRIVIA: There is a CSI Miami episode (1x15) called "Dead Woman Walking" which has a very similar plotline, where the woman in question was given radioactive materials and the CSIs try to figure out why and by whom before she dies. (edit)

Mark Sadowski: It’s one of those "If this is Tuesday, it must be Tashkent" trips.

This is an allusion to the movie "If it's Tuesday, This Must be Belgium."' (edit) Opening Scene: Navy Lt. Roy Sanders: I'd like to report a murder...mine.

The opening, in which Sanders seeks out Gibbs to report his own poisoning, is nearly identical to the opening in the following week's episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, in which a reporter goes to police headquarters with a similar report. The wording is almost identical to that used here. (edit) Lt. Roy Sanders: All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

This is a paraphrasing of a famous quotation by the English philosopher Edmund Burke. The original words are "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (edit) Tony: This reminds me of something.
McGee: A movie?
Tony: D.O.A.

This movie has been remade several times but the one Tony referred to was released in 1950 and starred Edmond O'Brien as a man who was poisoned and was trying to track down his killer. (edit) McGee: Boss, I need to show you something.
Tony: I hope it's not that Youtube clip I sent him this morning because it's a little ...
