- Jimmy Palmer: Been telling stories all week about Dr. Mallard. You know. The whole team.
- Tony DiNozzo: Yeah. A lot of stories.
- Jimmy Palmer: I guess that's ... That's all we have in the end, right? Is just, just the stories we leave behind.
- Tony DiNozzo: I wouldn't say only that, Jimbo. We also have the lives we touch while we are here. The people we leave behind.
- Leon Vance: Dr. Mallard would be the first to remind us that he lived a very long, very rewarding life, which he'd want us to celebrate more than anything.
- Kasie Hines: Any suggestions as to how to do that?
- Leon Vance: That's a good question, Ms. Hines. You know, I often go back to something Dr. Mallard wrote to me after my wife died. He said, "We all die twice. Once when our bodies give out, and again when our stories stop being told." I suggest we keep the good doctor with us by sharing his stories.
