ZIVA-ISMS REVISITED

DUCKY AND ABBY

DOUBLE IDENTITY

WHY I LIKE DUCKY

• Charming. Ducky has that wonderful old school charm that makes him delightful.
• The stories. It's hard to resist Ducky's wonderfully rambling reminiscences. He has a story for every occasion, and occasionally he is even allowed to finish them.
• Respect. Ducky shows great respect for the corpses that pass through his autopsy suite. He never looses sight of the fact that the bodies were once living breathing human beings, and he takes care to treat them with the utmost respect. Going so far as to get very angry when someone is less than respectful. Witness his anger at McGee when he is carrying a victim's head around in a bag as though it was just another piece of evidence.
• Gentleman. Ducky is a gentleman, purely and simply. He is never less than courteous to women.
  
• Loyal. Ducky is deeply loyal to his friends and is capable of being deeply hurt by their actions. Remember his response when he found out about Shannon and Kelly?
• Prepared to bend the rules when necessary. Ducky is aware that sometimes the rule book doesn't hold all the answers. In "Head Case" he goes with Gibbs to get a body cremated so the ashes can be buried at sea, even though the body is now technically evidence.
