- [Ducky reviews the investigation's findings in his un-Gibbs-like measured pace]
- Donald Mallard: All of which begs the question...
- Timothy McGee: What was Roberts planning on doing with the fake moon-dirt?
- Ziva David: Why did Hill kill him twelve years ago?
- Anthony DiNozzo: And who killed Hill two days ago?
- Donald Mallard: Okay, three questions.
- [turns to Gibbs]
- Donald Mallard: So, where to start?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: That's four questions.
- Timothy McGee: But you can tell us what Ducky was doing exhuming a body without telling Gibbs. We heard.
- Jimmy Palmer: I have no idea what you're talking about.
- [Tony pulls off his gloves with an audible snap, Palmer flinches]
- Anthony DiNozzo: Ziva?
- Ziva David: [snaps her fingers] Get the blinds.
- [Tony and McGee draw the blinds as Ziva steps up to Palmer, cracking her knuckles and flexing her fingers]
- Jimmy Palmer: Okay, ha-ha-ha. Yeah, this is all very, very funny...
- [He starts to backpedal, Tony stops him with a hand on his shoulder]
- Anthony DiNozzo: [whispers] We know you know.
- Ziva David: Where do you think Commander Roberts might have gotten it?
- Dr. Felix Blackwell: He could have come across regular JSC in any number of university labs, it was unregulated...
- Anthony DiNozzo: Even the irradiated stuff?
- Dr. Felix Blackwell: Oh, no, no, great care was taken to dispose of any JSC that was irradiated. I mean, the only thing it would be good for is to make your lawn glow, as some kind of depraved party trick!
- [laughs, then sobers]
- Dr. Felix Blackwell: That, and... making a dirty bomb.
- Jimmy Palmer: [to Ducky] When Agent Gibbs finds out that you exhumed a body without...!
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [entering] He found out.
- Jimmy Palmer: Agent Gibbs! As Acting Coroner, I take full responsibility, but...
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Go.
- Jimmy Palmer: Leaving.
- Jimmy Palmer: We have to return him! We have to return him right now!
- Donald Mallard: It's a corpse, Mr. Palmer, not a wedding present.
