    • Quotes

      Officer Ziva David: Will you tell me her name if I find the pirate's copy of ARES?

      Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: It's 'pirated' copy.

      Officer Ziva David: That's what I said!

      Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: No, you said pirate's copy. A pirate is a person like 'Captain Jack Sparrow'. A pirated copy...

      Officer Ziva David: Who is 'Jack Sparrow'?

      Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Johnny Depp.

      Officer Ziva David: He's a pirate?

      Officer Ziva David: Oh.

      Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: How did we get here?

    One of the best ones yet

    Wow. Rarely is an NCIS episode anything more than something to pass the time. This episode had quite a feel to it; a feel that gave it dimension, and the writer was not afraid to be original and think past the typical episode formula of the show. Probably the only episode so far that I would give a 10 out of 10.
