| 21. Split Decision | Introduced to Jimmy as he is repeating every work Ducky says into a recorder. Ducky suggests he leave the recorder next to him. him DUCKY: I was going to suggest you leave the recorder next to me, that way you don’t have to repeat everything I say. Jimmy's mother keeps ringing on his cell. DUCKY: Precisely. Do you want to get that? JIMMY: Can I? (INTO PHONE) Mom? DUCKY: Oh, please! |
| 22. A Weak Link | Jimmy is late because he had a head cold. Mentions his tinnitus. DukcyDucky offers him the job. DUCKY: You are late -- PALMER: I am so sorry, Doctor Mallard. I am so so sorry. DUCKY: Although I may have second thoughts, Mister Palmer. PALMER: Second thoughts, Sir? DUCKY: About you coming to work full time as my assistant. PALMER: It will never happen again, Doctor! I promise you it was an extremely unusual situation. DUCKY: They always are. PALMER: You see, I was in the shower and the doorbell rang but I didn’t know it at the time. DUCKY: That you were in the shower? PALMER: No, that it was the doorbell. See, my head cold in combination with my tinnitus made me think that it was the kitchen timer. DUCKY: How very unusual. PALMER: Yes, so I spent several minutes trying to find out what it was I had finished cooking. And by then the time I realized it was the front door, I’d almost forgotten I’d taken a shower. (PALMER COUGHS) PALMER: It’ll never happen again. DUCKY: Who was there? PALMER: Where? DUCKY: At the door? PALMER: Oh, I didn’t answer it. DUCKY: I hope this won’t become a habit, Mister Palmer. PALMER: No, see I always answer my door. DUCKY: I was referring to being late. PALMER: Does this mean I have the job? |
| 23. Reveille | Jimmy actually interested in Ducky's big toe story. Even questions if it's true. Ducky tells Jimmy he's quite rare for a new assistant - not throwing up at a chopped up body. It is Jimmy who first calls it a "Meat jigsaw puzzle." JIMMY: Did you point out the fallacy of his logic, Doctor? DUCKY: Oh, no no no. He was so happy. I hadn’t the heart. JIMMY: Are you making this up, Doctor Mallard? DUCKY: Good grief, no. When one spends one’s career traveling around the globe, one has an unlimited supply of mysterious and intriguing tales. Distal phalange. Right foot, I believe. You’re quite rare, Mister Palmer. JIMMY: I am? DUCKY: Yes. Most new assistants would take one look at this lot and head for the loo. JIMMY: Hm. It’s just a meat jigsaw puzzle. |
