• [as Ducky is wheeled out of surgery] 

  Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : My glasses?

  [Gibbs puts them back on] 

  Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : Oh, sweet of you to have held on to them for me while I went under the knife... it's ironic that the solution to one knife should be... Mr. Palmer, would you, would you finish that thought for me?

  Jimmy Palmer : Sure, Doctor.

  Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : Oh, and you need to send for a substitute M.E. Uh, Jordan...

  Jimmy Palmer : Doctor Hampton?

  Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : Yeah. On my desk you'll find her number, while I myself lie here getting much "numb-er."

  [chuckles] 

  Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : Nurse, more anesthetic, and don't spare the horses...

  [He is wheeled out] 

  Abby Sciuto : Okay, he's zonked out of his gourd and he's still playing with words. Impressive.

• [Jimmy is trying to carry on in Autopsy by himself] 

  Jimmy Palmer : [speaking to the latest corpse]  So... you're dead. Sorry about that.

  [imitating Ducky] 

  Jimmy Palmer : Poor fellow... if it's any consolation, all indications are that you went out... with a bang.

  [pause] 

  Jimmy Palmer : Oh, forget it.

• Jimmy Palmer : You are very, um... calm.

  Abby Sciuto : I am. If I keep going to Crazy Town every time one of you gets hurt, I'm going to have to get my mail forwarded.
