“High Seas” · Season 1, Episode 6

In this episode: Tony DiNozzo (5), Leroy Jethro Gibbs (4), Kate Todd (4), Sailor (2), Ducky Mallard (1)

Five years with Gibbs; I'm amazed the guy didn't end up in a strait jacket.

What was that?

Nothing, boss. Just praising your communication skills.

This...isn't the deck 5 berthing compartment, is it?

(while standing at a urinal) No ma'am this is the men's head on deck 6.

All I'm saying is that... things on the surface are not always the same as when you put them in context with the way they actually developed, you know, under the surface, kinda.

I have no idea what you said.

Neither do I. But the intent was sincere.

Above his mattress, below his mattress, inside his mattress. If there's such a thing as a fourth mattress dimension, go over that too.

GSGibbs's voicemail

Gibbs. Talk.

SBStan Burley's voicemail message

Gibbs! Stan Burley. Put down whatever the hell you're doing with that stupid boat and pick up! I'm working a case on the Enterprise. Sure could use some help on this one. Really could use your help Boss.

[Gibbs and Tony, with Kate behind, are making their way to the plane]

Just accept the fact that you're gonna get lost.

Why do you assume I'm going to?

Because everyone does. [Gibbs looks back at Kate] A carrier's a big and confusing place first time on board.

Duly noted.

Numbers are stenciled on the bulkhead. First one tells you the deck level, they're called bullseyes.

Deck level.

Second one, the frame number. Third tells the compartment's position in relation to the ship's center line. Last letter tells you what the space is used for.

Crossing from port to starboard to starboard to port isn't as simple as going straight across.

Sometimes you gotta go up one deck and down another.

Or down one deck and up another.

Sometimes two.

Frustrating.

Not to mention confusing. [smiles at Kate] But you'll get the hang of it.

[Kate is looking confused and overwhelmed]

After you get lost a few times.

[Kate nervously looks on]

Ya know what, I'm trying to help you out here, Petty Officer. You try to float this story at your court martial hearing, they will laugh your ass all the way to Leavenworth!

Petty Officer!

Ma'am?

You just came out of the urinaloger's office!

I hope not! I just had a haircut in there!

(downhearted) Go on! Tell me how many bulk heads, passage ways and corridors in to go to traverse there!

It's right next door!

Of course it is! Thank you (pissed off) Petty Officer!

You know, in the two years I've worked for Gibbs, he's never shaken my hand once. Never.

BBurley

I was in the office two years before he even looked me in the eye.

Really!

BBurley

Three years before he called me by name, four till he got it right. By then I'd actually gotten used to "Steve". [Burley and Tony laugh] He must really like you.
