QUOTES:
Kate: "Hey, he could have used an internet café. I'll check Little Creek and his neighborhood."
Gibbs: "I should have thought of that."
Tony: "Well, you're more - you know, smurf than alpha geek. So am I, according to Agent McGee."
Gibbs: "You're right, DiNozzo."
Tony: "I am?"
Gibbs: "Hell, I still use a notebook and a pencil instead of a P-D-Q."
Tony: "It's P-D-A. You can call it Palm Pilot."
Gibbs: "It doesn't matter what I call it if I can't use it."
Tony: "I'll teach you."
Gibbs: "You'll teach me? McGee teaches you, you teach me. It's backwards!"
Ari: "You tried to trick me, Doctor Mallard."
Ducky: "That wasn't a condition."
Ducky: "I have a way of going on about my salad days. He associates 'quick on my feet' with my stories of the playing fields of Eton."
Ari: "Do you believe Wellington actually said that?"
Ducky: "Probably not. But most Etonians love to think he did."
Ari: "Are you lost, Gerald?"
Gerald: "The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton."
Ari: "Very good."
Gerald: "Stick around the Doc long enough and you pick up a lot of trivia."
Ducky: "I can't wait to weigh your liver."
Gibbs: "How long do you think it would have taken me to find the nearest tea shop?"
Tony: "An hour sooner than me."
Kate: "Next time I'll be quicker."
Ari: "Oh, don't you wonder why you weren't now?"
Ducky: "Uh, could you give me a go?"
Ari: "I think not, Doctor. You would kill me without hesitation."
Gibbs: "You nervous?"
Tony: "Yeah. I don't like you going down there unarmed and solo."
Gibbs: "No choice. Besides, I need you outside receiving. Team one. Gibbs. Elevator to level three."
Tony: "By the time we get down from receiving, it'll be over."
Gibbs: "This guy's not a suicide bomber. He has an escape plan. Maybe to get out the same way he came in. I want someone I know there."
Tony: "That's the same as saying someone you trust. Someone you can depend on."
Tony: "Stockholm Syndrome?"
Kate: "You can't identify with your captor in an hour."
Tony: "Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's like falling in love. That can happen" (snaps fingers) "like that."
GIBBS'S RULES: None
DUCKY'S STORIES:
The Royal Navies of the world wear almost identical uniforms. In fact, during World War 2, British Naval Officers whose ships went down in the channel, passed themselves off in Antwerp as German submariners who-(sees Ari's gun and stops)
MOVIE REFERENCES: None
FAMILAR FACES: None
THOUGHTS:
I was never that fond of the Ari arc, but there's probably few episodes that made as much of an impact as this one. With that said, this is probably the largest quotes section I've had from an episode yet. I loved Ducky in this one.
RATING: Think I'll give it a 4
