- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You're forgiven.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: For the crime, Jethro. For the act, there is no forgiveness.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Are you going to make me ask again?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I suppose it's inevitable. When we've reached the tipping point when your curiosity outweighs your courtesy.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: What the *hell's* wrong with you Ducky? Your life is in the balance here! Huh? What did you do there?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Only what was required of me.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Are you *protecting* this guy?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I am protecting no one, Jethro. Look, if you intend to unravel strings further on this matter, I would prefer you leave them unpulled.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: No.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Yeah, well the next phrase she yells means "You killed my brother."... Any idea why she would have said that?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Perhaps because I killed her brother.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Mr. Kort, Agency's keeping you local?
- Trent Kort: Travel is touchy at the moment. I've made a few enemies overseas.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: What? With your winning personality?
- Trent Kort: When you finally open that charm school, let me know.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: I need a favor.
- Trent Kort: Gibbs, I don't like you.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: That's okay, I don't like you either. Not trading on kindness.
- Trent Kort: But we *are* trading.
- Afghani Ambassador Qasim Saydia: Lack of respect shown by you and your people, you will create an international incident.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: You're the diplomat, not me.
- Afghani Ambassador Qasim Saydia: Obviously. Dr. Mallard?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Ambassador?
- Afghani Ambassador Qasim Saydia: Have you brought legal counsel?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I don't need counsel. I've come here to surrender.
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: How do you remember your childhood?
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Vaguely.
- [Ziva laughs]
- Special Agent Timothy McGee: You have no sense of history.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [entering] I do. So does Petty Officer Kevin Lim.
- Officer Ziva David: He is history?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Oh, yeah. Big time.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: You know, when I was a child, I used to love liver. Mother would cook the liver of almost anything.
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: Duck...
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: [misunderstanding Gibbs] Well, that was her favorite. I preferred calves' liver. You know, alla Veneziana with the onions.
