Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : What was the point in it all?

Marcin Jerek : Nothing! I wanted *nothing* from him.
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : [realizing] Javid was not your target. He was your weapon.
Marcin Jerek : The boy was a means to break a man. Your bleeding heart eased everyone's fears. Without fear I could not do my job.
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : You were torturing *me*.
Marcin Jerek : To change you. But you took too long to break.

[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...

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

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.
-
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard : It is a rare place in this world, Mr. Palmer, where reason is the best compass.

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.

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.
