TRIVIA: When Abby is watching lines of code she claims its the most boring thing on the planet and McGee mentions an old teacher of his. We then find out the two had rather both boring and disgusting jobs in their younger days. McGee was a burnt potato chip picker, cleaning port a potties, cleaned asbestos and didn't finish his last one as Abby interrupts. Abby was an Incinerator Operator, ski lift operator, collected roadkill.
GOOF: When Abby is listing the superheroes she resembles, Kate suggests Xena, but Abby nixes her because Abby thinks there's something hinky about her as a superhero because she wears open-toe shoes. Xena, however, rarely, if ever wears anything but knee high boots.
GOOF: When the first Investigative team leave the crime scene as Kate goes to get her sketch pad out of the truck, You can hear that the editors have duped previous DiNozzo dialogue over Monteleone ("Get in the car Probe!") while he Gibbs/Lt. Cheney slaps him on the back of the head. Not only can you hear the difference in voices but it is clear that Detective Monteleone doesn't move his lips.
TRIVIA: On the wall, in the hospital's software center: "There are 10 types of people in the world; those that understand binary and those that don't."
GOOF: After Gibbs questions the drug buyer and suspect, they show him taking a big puff on a cigarette, yanking it out of his mouth to his side, then blowing smoke from the elevator. Just as he finishes exhaling, the elevator bell rings, and the cigarette magically reappears in his mouth from his hand still at his side.
Abby: McGee, you're so trusting. McGee: What's wrong with that? Abby: Well, it's great in a relationship. Kind of sucks for an investigation.
Gibbs: Blood splatter analysis?
Abby: Okay, Gibbs. I know you think I'm Super Girl. Actually, my hair's probably Wonder Woman or Isis or the Power Puff girl.
Kate: I've always been partial to Xena.
Abby: I don't know about her. No self-respecting superhero should wear open-toed shoes.
Kate: Oh, I agree.
Monteleone: Oh no... wait a minute, wait a minute. No, no, no. I've never paid for it in my life. Kate: Uh huh. Monteleone: Well, I was fifteen and my cousin Enzo paid Maggie O'Brien for the both of us, but that doesn't count. Kate: Yes it does, Tony! Monteleone: I'm Primo. Kate: Sorry. I can't tell you apart.
Gibbs: What are you laughing at DiNozzo?
Cheney: And you, Monteleone?
Gibbs: We didn't break him!
Cheney: Made him piss his pants, though.
Gibbs: (laughing) Oh hell yes.
Cheney: This isn't a frat bust for grass, Aaron. Gibbs: This is hard time. Every night. Hard time. Cheney: Tell us where Petty Officer Lambert's hiding. Gibbs: We'll cut you a deal. Cheney: Minimum time in a federal facility without nightly cavity searches.
Abby: Oxycontin is twice as addictive as heroin. It's more addictive than pistachios. (Gibbs and McGee just stare at her) Well, have you ever eaten just one pistachio? McGee: Actually, I have. Uh, potato chips, on the other hand...(Gibbs smacks him in the back of the head)
Abby: Did you tell him?
McGee: Nope, saved the best for you.
Abby: Aww, thanks McGee. You know how I relish the moment...
Gibbs: Stop relishing, start explaining, Abs.
Kate: Enough, Tony! I have nothing to hide.
Tony: Really? Hmm... for someone with nothing to hide you seem awfully concerned about what other people know about you.
Kate: Why? Because I get upset when you go through my personal belongings?
Tony: Exactly.
Kate: Well, Tony, some people enjoy having a private life. Unlike you we don't go around informing everyone about the frequency of our "hooking up".
Tony: In a slump?
Tony: Kate, this mojo faked his own death. Left his laptop, wallet, cell phone, and car behind. You really think he's gonna swipe the old charge card at the local Jugs-R-Us?
Gibbs: (to a very over-worked Abby) You, blood spatters! Abby: (hangs head and shuffles away) Yo ho heave ho...
Kate: You ever feel guilty calling people uninvited, intruding into their lives? Telemarketer: At first, a little, but when you get cursed at a couple hundred times you get over it.
Abby: Nobody gets it right the first time McGee. Except Gibbs.
Tony: This is your car right? (room mate nods) Ok. You make a couple hundred grand a year and you drive this? Room Mate: I'm not a car guy. Tony: Don't ya dig chicks?
Kate: Boys night out! Abby: Which means girls night in!
Rachel: (to Tony) You're almost as good looking as... you think you are.
Guy: That's an invasion of my privacy. Tony: Actually he's right, boss. Gibbs: Uh huh.
Abby: What?! Gibbs: Yikes Abby. What did McGee do now? Abby: Put his size 10 foot in his size 12 mouth.
Gibbs: You speak their language. McGee: I get to interview them? Gibbs: I interview. You translate.
Rapp: Shotgun! Monteleone (slapping Miller upside the head): Get in the car Probie. Kate (watching from a distance): It's deja vu!
Tony: Just once boss, I'd like one of these guys to say 'You got me. I did it'.
McGee: Are you wishing you were a computer geek? Tony: I'd rather be homeless than be you, Probie.
Abby: I don't know this really sucks. McGee: I'll tell you what really sucks, working after school as a burnt potato chip picker. Abby: You're making that up. McGee: You ever see a burnt potato chip in a bag of chips?
Kate: There's no sign of a room mate in that house Tony. Tony: Room mates move out Kate, 16 months ago you had a room mate. Kate: (Hits him) Tony. Gibbs: Kate you're with me. Kate: Gladly.
Kate: Ok well, I'm gonna need your work, cell and house numbers. Telemarketer: Alright but please don't call between 6 and 8 because uh that's usually... Kate: You said 6 and 8 right?
Monteleone: (to Kate) Wow, you know your eyes are the same color as my Porsche. Kate: You've got to be kidding. Monteleone: What do you say we have dinner? Kate: Why bother with the preliminaries? Monteleone: Oh, now who's kidding? You serious? Cheney:(Head slaps him) She's not, but I am.
Tony: Hi Rachel, I'm Tony, if you want to get together and compare notes... Rachel: What's your shoe size? Tony: 12. Rachel: Ha, you wish. Tony: No it is, it really is. You can measure it if you want.
Kate: Last time I'm gonna tell you Tony: Don't answer my phone, use my computer, read my mail, look through my purse, scan my PDA, or touch my cell phone ever! Tony: And an extra side of hashbrowns. Just so we're clear Kate I didn't do any of those things. Zero, zip, nada. Kate: Then how do you know where I went to breakfast. McGee: Logo on the coffee cup in your waste basket. Tony: Anyone invite you into this conversation, Probie? Kate: You looked through my trash! Tony: Did you say it was off limits, huh, did ya?
Gibbs: Get McGee and Abby to do what they do when they get together. Tony: Haha. (Gibbs slaps him on the head) Tony: You meant the computers.
Rapp: Your ex-wife called. Cheney: Which one? Rapp: The nasty one. Cheney: You're going to have to be more specific.
Ducky: How does that jive with your gut?
