- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: They're holding Petty Officer Dobbs' body for you at the Dover morgue.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I don't get it, I thought he died in combat.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I need you to take a look, Ducky.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: What do you expect me to find?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Nothing. I just need to buy more time.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Oh, Jethro, I can spend forever finding nothing.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: You ever think the petty officer might be guilty?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Crossed my mind.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: More than once obviously. Othewise you'd be telling me your gut says he's not guilty.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Several marine guts in Iraq saying that.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Not yours?
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [pause] Yeah. Yeah. My gut says it too!
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Your gut? Or Semper Fi?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: The male pelvis is shaped like a butterfly. The female's is wider, and has larger superior and inferior apertures to facilitate childbirth.
- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Age?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Oh, I'd estimate 17 to 20. The pubic symphysis is an excellent yardstick of age. It's corrugated in a woman's teens, and then smooths out during her 20s and 30s. At the time of this young lady's demise, well, you can see it was in the transitional stage.
