QUOTES:
Yost: "Too much waste in this world. Everything is disposable now. Disposable camera. Disposable razors. I won't be needing them."

Yost: "Oh. They took my license away."
Tony: "How come?"
Yost: "Got old. It's a fatal mistake."
Abby: "Cold case?"
Gibbs: "Icicles."
Yost: "It's not a water cooler. It's called a scuttle butt. How long have you been in the Corps, kid?"
Tony: "Since I met Gibbs."
Faith: "Please don't insult me by telling me he escaped."
Gibbs: "The older they are, the sneakier they are."
Kate: "Yost complained of a weak bladder. He had to use the restroom every ten minutes. We gave up escorting him and one time he just didn't come back."
Tim: "We found a window open. He must have shimmied down the drain pipe."
Faith: "I'd like to have seen that."
Gibbs: "We think the weak bladder was a trick to get us to let down our guard."
Kate: "We're sick about it, Commander."
Faith: "Yes, I can see that. You all look absolutely devastated."
Tim: "I put out an A-P-B. Airports. Train stations. Taxi cabs. Walker rentals."

DUCKY'S STORIES:
He reminds me of my great uncle William in Bristol. We'd visit every Christmas. He was always apologizing for sitting naked at the dinner table.

FAMILAR FACES: None
THOUGHTS:
This was definitely one of the episodes that helped me determine the bar for 5 star eps. It was also one I had remembered quite a bit from, such as the guy coming forward about murdering his friend, only for it to turn out that he did it accidentally while trying to keep it quiet. One of the aspects I liked was the Japanese soldier helping out. The scene at the end was quite nice, too.
Charles Durning did such a great job in this episode.
RATING: 5 out of 5
