Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Ducky: "Do you know the difference between good and bad __________ Tony?" Tony: "No, but I'm guessing it has something to do with taste."

Answer: cholesterol

This quote is from the episode "Mind Games". Ducky has hinting about Tony's horrible eating habits. In earlier seasons, Kate used to do the same thing.

2. Ducky: "How do you tell a woman you have no mental recollection of her what-so-ever?" Palmer: "I suppose one could always lie." Ducky: "Have you been spending time with ___________ again?"

Answer: Agent DiNozzo

This quote is from the episode "Silver War". The scientist that was studying the supposed civil war body apparently met Ducky years earlier at a conference. She implied that they had been quite friendly. Ducky, however, has no memory of ever meeting her. A classic DiNozzo situation.

3. Ducky: "I hope you brought more appropriate footwear, Mr. Palmer. The journey to our petty officer seems rather challenging." Palmer: "Don't worry, Doctor. I have a merit badge in hiking." Ducky: "I have a driver's license, Mr. Palmer. It doesn't mean I turn up at ___________ in my Morgan."

Answer: Indianapolis

This quote is from the episode "Switch". Ducky has a good point. I doubt Mr. Palmer's merit badge in hiking qualifies him to climb Mt. Everest.

4. Ducky: "Though it may be common knowledge that I talk to my patients, unfortunately to date, none of them have ever ______________." Gibbs: "Listen harder."

Answer: answered me back

This quote is from the episode "Under Covers". In this episode, Ziva and Tony go undercover as a married couple. The couple they are impersonating, are laying on Ducky's autopsy tables. Gibbs is asking Ducky for details about the couple that could help Tony and Ziva better pass for them.

5. Ducky: "I suggest a couple of aspirin." (Ducky touches a cut above Tony's eye) Tony: "(In a high pitched squeal) Oww.." Ducky: "Yes, and perhaps some scotch..." (Gibbs walks up) Gibbs: "I thought doctors weren't supposed to prescribe alcohol any more, Duck?" Ducky: "Well it always seems to work ____________."

Answer: for you

This quote is also from the episode "Under Covers". Towards the end of the episode, Tony and Ziva's cover is blown and they end up getting in a little scuffle; hence the cut on Tony's eye.

6. Gibbs: "Accidental overdose, Duck?" Ducky: "I doubt it; she had enough PCP in her system to kill a small ________." Gibbs: "___________?" Ducky: "I tire of small horse." (BOTH BLANKS ARE THE SAME)

Answer: water buffalo

This quote is from the episode "Model Behavior". In this episode, a military base is hosting a reality show involving models. When one of the models falls in love with a soldier, her manager attempts to prevent her from throwing her career away for this soldier.

The manager attempts to poison the soldier by spiking his chewing tobacco with PCP. By accident, the model chews the tobacco and dies as a result of an overdose on PCP.

7. Ducky: "Yes, I once performed an autopsy on a man who drowned in his ___________. Yes, apparently, he couldn't remove the drain plug and attempted to use his teeth."

Answer: kitchen sink

This quote is from the episode "Iced". Ducky has done some weird autopsies in his day; bodies in barrels of hydrochloric acid, bodies that have been smoked in chimneys, bodies that have been cut up into tons of pieces, bodies that were embalmed while still alive, bodies that had been crucified, etc. How do the writers come up with some of this stuff?

8. Ducky: "I've been traveling to crime scenes for a great many years, but I can say with complete confidence this is the ___________ commute I have ever had." Jimmy: "And one of the first times I didn't get us lost." Ducky: "True."

Answer: shortest

This quote is from the episode "Jeopardy". In this episode, a suspect dies in the NCIS elevator while in Ziva's custody. Also, Director Shepard is kidnapped by the dead suspects' brother. This is one of my favorite episodes because the kidnapper is played by Conner Trinneer. He plays the ruggedly handsome "Chief Engineer Charles Tucker, III" on "Star Trek: Enterprise".

9. Ducky: "I sat on a bomb once. No, twice. The first time I was young, the second time I was __________." Palmer: "Why would you set on a bomb?" Ducky: "I just told you, I was young and ________. Haven't you been listening?" (BLANKS ARE THE SAME)

Answer: foolish

This quote is from the episode "Hiatus, Part 1". In this episode, Gibbs is knocked unconscious by an explosion and ends up in a coma. As it turns out, the person in the room with Gibbs when the bomb goes off was sitting on it. He apparently didn't know it was under him.

Answer: psychological autopsy

Ducky is well known for doing psychological autopsies as well as standard autopsies. During seasons one and two, the character Kate was trained in psychological profiling. When that character was killed off, the character of Ducky inherited the job of occasionally providing those types of details to Jethro.
