      When Fergie and Jason are plugging in the power supply for the blinker in the Venice hotel, Jason says "110 volts in, 24 volts out". All European countries use 240 volts, not 110 volts as in the USA.
    • Quotes
      • Lt. Fergie Howard: Beau'll join you as soon as he gets into his civvies.
      • Lt. Beau Gilliam: My civvies?
      • Lt. Fergie Howard: You brought 'em, didn't ya?
      • Lt. Beau Gilliam: Yeah. But I won't wear 'em, Fergie.
      • Lt. Fergie Howard: I beg your pardon?
      • Lt. Beau Gilliam: Well you saw the duty board this morning. We were specifically ordered to wear whites. Any officer caught ashore in his civvies is gonna have his tail in a sling. And the order was signed by Admiral Fitch himself.
      • Lt. Fergie Howard: Old Foghorn.
      • Jason Eldridge: Fergie, we agreed not to break any regulations we didn't have to.
      • Lt. Fergie Howard: Uh huh. But we have to. We can't get into the casino in Navy uniforms. It's off limits.
      • Lt. Beau Gilliam: Off limits? And in civvies too? I'll be breaking two regulations at once!
      • Lt. Fergie Howard: That's right, it's sort of a package deal. Now get in there and get out of that uniform and that's an order, Lieutenant *junior* grade Gilliam!
