Lieutenant in charge of urine testing: Someone from security accompanies them to the head and observes casually by mirror.
Kate: And if someone wanted to beat it?
Lieutenant: Ma'am?
Kate: The system.
Lieutenant: Oh. (edit) Tony: For a crew that doesn't do drugs, you guys sure do a lot of drugs. (edit) Tony: Is this going to turn into one of those guy-girl things where you insist we stop and ask for directions? (edit) Tony: I say it's time we turn out the lights and play in the dark. (edit) Stan Burley: I was with the agency for two years before he (referring to Gibbs) looked me in the eyes...
Tony: Really.
Stan: ...three years before he called me by name, and four years before he got it right... by then I'd actually gotten used to Steve. (edit)

TRIVIA: Before joining NCIS, Tony worked for the Peoria, Philadelphia, and finally Baltimore police departments. (edit) TRIVIA: Gibbs is wearing a Property of Hoover Police Department t-shirt in his basement. This is a department in Hoover, Alabama. (edit) GOOF: Stan asks Gibbs for help while working on board USS Enterprise. When the COD lands on the carrier, it is not CVN 65 - Enterprise, but CVN 74 - John C Stennis. The Stennis is the carrier shown at the start of the season 1 titles. Also while walking through a hangar bay 13 minutes into the episode, an aircraft behind them has the markings of CVN 70 - USS Carl Vinson. (edit) GOOF: When the helicopter is rescuing the crew of the yacht you see the shoulder boards of an officer in the doorway. The shoulder boards have a loop at the top, as used by the Royal Navy. (edit) GOOF: In addition to the shoulder boards, when the shot focuses on the air rescue team retrieving the capsized yachtsmen, on the shoulder of one of the rescuers there is a blatantly obvious Australian flag. I must admit I never knew the HMAS Perth was part of the USS fleet. (edit)
