Quotes

Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: He was stabbed repeatedly and fatally.
Sr. FBI Agent T.C. Fornell: With *what*? A safety pin?
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: As I explained, the shrinkage of the flesh is deceptive. Most likely it was an icepick or philips head screwdriver.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Somebody killed your serial killer, Fornell.
NCIS Director Jenny Shepard: On a Marine base! Which means it is still *our* jurisdiction!

User Reviews

One of my favorite episodes!

I have watched a lot of TV in my life, and NCIS is one of my very favorite series. I love the stories and the humor and the characters. It's fun to occasionally catch the more or less "inside jokes" that very young people may not recognize, such as the references to "St. Elsewhere" or to Mark Harmon being a pro football quarterback in the past.

"Smoked" is one of my favorite NCIS episodes because the plot is good, there is humor, and especially because it has one of the sweetest love scenes I have ever seen. I'm referring to the love scene between Tony and Jean. It was absolutely perfect. It was romantic, sweet, innocent, touching, happy, and made me break out in a huge smile. This scene had such a genuine feel to it that I believe it was the most enjoyable scene I've viewed on TV in quite a while. Does anybody know who was singing "Falling in Love" in that scene? The music was a part of what made the scene so perfect. I would love to have this recording.

Hope you enjoy this episode as much as I have.
