Ice Queen

Ducky: Agent Blackadder reminds me of a young woman I autopsied once.

Gibbs: [looking at the body] When'd she die?

Ducky: Oh, gosh, in Hollywood. Let's see, it's got to be at least 20 years ago. She was an assistant film editor and the film editor's wife caught them in flagrante delicto--

Gibbs: [interrupting] This one, Ducky. When did this one die?

---

Gibbs: Cause of death?

Ducky: Well, it wasn't the arrow.

---

Tony: [referring to the Caf Pow] Is that number 2 or 3 today?

Abby: If you must know, it's number 4.

Tony: [holds up evidence bag] I brought you a present.

Abby: [smiles] And you wonder why you're still single.

---

Tony: You redecorating?

Abby: I thought I'd brighten the place up a bit.

Tony: You take these?

Abby: Yeah, that's a cross section of what a 12 gauge did to an L3 to L5.

Tony: Shotgun-shattered backbone?

Abby: Ya, the middle one there is a cross section of an icepick to a cerebellum.

Tony: [grimaces, then looks at another picture] Duodenum?

Abby: Yeah; I like to call it "Duodenum with a lye chaser". It's a sad end of a Drano drinker.

Tony: You need to get out more, Abby.

Abby: Is that an invite?

---

Abby: [lifting a fingerprint for the victim's car] Let your fingers do the talking. [to Tony] Why'd they tow it?

Tony: It was abandoned in a lot at Great Falls. Any of those finger prints big enough to be a man's?

Abby: Yep. Whoever was riding shotgun.

Tony: How fast can you run 'em?

Abby: Usually about 12 hours, but for dinner...

Tony: Get me an ID in two, and I'll make it Cafe Alantico.

Abby: Sweet.

[Gibbs and Rabb are in the interrogation room at NCIS headquarters]

Gibbs: You're more comfortable asking questions than you're answering them.

Rabb: Guess I'm not used to being a suspect.

Gibbs: Suspect? You said you were a suspect. Have I read you your Article 31 rights?

Rabb: No you haven't. Which means you're playing a very risky game, Gunny.

Gibbs: I'm not smart enough to play risky games with a lawyer of your caliber, Rabb.

Rabb: That's Commander Rabb. Or Commander. Or Sir, Gunny. I believe as a reservist, you're still technically in the Marine Corps.

Gibbs: [calmly] I'm an NCIS special agent. I don't have to salute you or "sir" you or give you any military courtesy. But you know that. So who's playing the games here?

[Silence]

[Vivian is reading Rabb his rights]

Rabb: I know my Article 31 rights, and I waive them.

[she continues reading them]

Rabb: I said I waive them.

Gibbs: She used to be FBI.

Meltdown

Rabb: There are enough holes in this case to raise reasonable doubt.

Lt. Cmdr. Coleman: There is also enough evidence to tie you to the murders and a string of witnesses. Your colleagues will testify to angry words between you and Lieutenant Singer right up to the time of her death.

Rabb: Well, it could be worse, I guess.

Coleman: How?

Rabb: I could not have an alibi.

Coleman: [in annoyance] You have an alibi?

Rabb: No.

[Ducky is telling his findings in court]

Major McBurney: What else did you discover?

Ducky: On her left buttock, I found a tattoo of a stalking leopard. Majestic. Brilliant. I've only seen one other like it: on a tango dancer in Buenos Aires who died of dehydration. I was on sabbatical at the ti--

McBurney: [interrupts] Doctor, I was asking about Lieutenant Singer.

Ducky: She wasn't in Buenos Aires...

---

Coleman: Doctor isn't it possible that the LT's injuries were a result of an accidental fall?

Ducky: [very seriously] Well the railing is very high. It's quite unlikely. Unless the LT's unconscious body levitated and dropped over the side. I've heard--

Coleman: [cutting him off] Thank you Doctor.

---

[after finding Commander Rabb's name on the hat]

Abby: If the hat does fit, you can't acquit.

[both lawyers give Abby a funny look]

Abby: Oh, come on; one of you would have said it if you had thought of it first.

---

Vivian: I'm sorry, I almost blew it.

Gibbs: [disapprovingly] Almost?

Tony: I still like you.
