Brian Dietzen: Jimmy Palmer

Quotes 

• Ellie Bishop : Where's Gibbs?

  Jimmy Palmer : Talking to the CO. Now it's time for you to talk to me. Who do we have here?

  Ellie Bishop : Well, Petty Officer Robert White. And I hope he's a fast talker.

  Jimmy Palmer : Yeah, me, too. I have a whole list full of events planned for Dr. Mallard's last day.

  Ellie Bishop : If you want to see him before he leaves, let's make this quick, okay?

  Jimmy Palmer : Hey. You doing okay?

  Ellie Bishop : Yeah. Just not a big fan of being underwater these days, you know, so...

  Jimmy Palmer : Oh, that's right. And now you're basically trapped on a big, giant underwater coffin.

  Ellie Bishop : Not helping.

  Jimmy Palmer : Look, we are gonna be fine, all right? This baby is indestructible. And if anything were to go wrong with the boat, Bishop, good news, we'd be dead before you know it.

  Ellie Bishop : Okay. So, it's times like these I'm really gonna miss Ducky.

• Jimmy Palmer : How does a U.S. Navy SEAL drown during a routine dive?

  Leroy Jethro Gibbs : That's a good question.

• Nick Torres : Tim, you're gonna be fine, man.

  Timothy McGee : Yeah, not compared to you. You've got no kids and a small fortune. I've got two kids and a wife. I'm gonna be working for the rest of my life.

  Jimmy Palmer : Well, the good news is you love your job, right?

  Donald Mallard : I've always loved mine.

  Timothy McGee : Well, no offense, Ducky, but if I'm still working when I'm your age...

  [he laughs until he sees Ducky's look; Jimmy snickers to himself] 

  Timothy McGee : I'm not gonna finish that sentence. Ducky, you look fantastic.

  Donald Mallard : Good move.

• Jimmy Palmer : Sorry I'm so busy, Dr. Mallard. The timing on this couldn't have been worse.

  Donald Mallard : Dr. Palmer...

  Jimmy Palmer : I know, I know. I said I'd stop apologizing.

  Donald Mallard : Well, then stop.

  Jimmy Palmer : I-It's just that I had a-a speech planned, and there was a-a slideshow in Kasie's lab. Oh, and cookies.

  Donald Mallard : Yeah, well, this three-page letter and all these parting gifts, it's more than sufficient. And I'm leaving NCIS, not the planet.

• Jimmy Palmer : Our petty officer drowned. No doubt about it. Aside from the water in the lungs, there's also signs of a subcutaneous emphysema. That's what happens when the air gets trapped in the tissue here.

  Timothy McGee : Any idea how that happened?

  Jimmy Palmer : That is the million-dollar question.

  Kasie Hines : [entering]  I have a buck-fifty answer.

  [to Nick and McGee] 

  Kasie Hines : You two. Answer your phones much?

  Nick Torres : Oh, I must have missed it.

  Timothy McGee : Sorry about that.

  Kasie Hines : Gibbs always answers. If that techology hater can manage to...

  Timothy McGee : What's up?

  Kasie Hines : One ring. Just saying.
