      While speaking with Dr. Rachel Cranston in the hospital, DiNozzo tells the story of seeing an old movie with his mom. It was Angels with Dirty Faces (1938). He says "Bogie was a priest, Cagney a gangster". In reality, Pat O'Brien was the priest - Jerry Connolly in the movie, James Cagney was a gangster named Rocky Sullivan and Humphrey Bogart was the crooked lawyer, James Frazier.
