Donald Mallard
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Native Americans designed their pole so that the lower you were on it, the higher they held you in esteem. Calling someone "low man on the totem pole" is in fact a compliment.
- Jimmy Palmer: So all these years, Gibbs has been complimenting me?
- Special Agent Jethro Gibbs: [Gibbs enters] Oh, I wouldn't go that far, Palmer.
- Jimmy Palmer: [as they're defrosting a body] Heat wave in autopsy. Guess there really is global warming.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: [Groans] Autopsy is indeed topsy-turvy today, Mr. Palmer.
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [referring to farmers standing away from a body] Looks like the locals want to get back to work.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Well, they probably didn't expect him to be part of their spring crop. Although, human remains would make an excellent fertilizer.
