TEXT: MUSIC IN: INT. AUTOPSY LAB - NIGHT (SFX: DOORS SLIDE OPEN) DUCKY: Corporal Liam Michael O'Neill. That's a good Irish name. I'm from Scotland myself. I hope you won't hold that against me. Twenty-four years old. Too young for us to be meeting on this chilly morning. United States Marine Corps. Found face down in a snow drift in Montrose Park. Well, how did you end up there, at six o'clock in the morning? Not stumbling home from a big night out, I trust. Now that would be a tragic waste of a young life. This is the place where death rejoices in teaching the living. Liam, what can you teach us? (LONG BEAT) Ooh. A wee bump. Oh, perhaps I spoke too soon. Perhaps you weren't the architect of your own destruction. (SFX: TEA KETTLE WHISTLES B.G.) (SFX: LIAM GASPS) DUCKY: Ah!!

MCGEE: Least you know you're not dead. TONY: Ducky's the one who's lucky. ZIVA: Why is Ducky lucky? TONY: Well, well. Look who's finally here. ZIVA: Oh, like you've never been late, left early, or gone mysteriously missing. TONY: Oh no, that's my point exactly. Tardiness is my middle name. In fact, it's expected of me. You, on the other hand, have become the poster girl for punctuality. (SFX: ZIVA LAUGHS) TONY: Late night? ZIVA: Early morning. Run. New route. Took longer than I expected. Will run faster tomorrow. Now why is Ducky lucky? TONY: We found
