Trivia:

When Ducky prepares to drive into his undercover meeting as a English arms dealer, he bolsters himself with the phrase, "Tally ho!" David McCallum previously played a British character in The Great Escape (1963) who was encouraged mid-mission to keep up his cover when James Garner's character whispered "Tally ho!" to him.

Goofs:

Factual errors: In this episode, the character Rene/La Grenouille states that the Cognac "L'Espirit de Curvoisier" was first drunk by Napoleon at his coronation in 1802. Unfortunately it would appear that the scriptwriters misread the calendar. Napoleon Bonaparte had effectively taken power in France in 1799 as "First Consol", but he only assumed the title of "Emperor of the French" as 'Napoleon I' - and held his - coronation - in 1804.

Quotes:

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Can you do this to anyone's email?
Special Agent Timothy McGee: No, because it's highly illegal. And I'm not even doing it now... Okay, we're in.
