Eric Beale quotes from NCIS: Los Angeles

Callen

Where's Dana Steele, Eric?

Eric

You're close. According to the tracker, she's right inside the Grand Central Market.

Sam

Yeah? Well, we're looking right inside the Grand Central Market-- it's like trying to find Waldo.

Callen

Who's Waldo?

Sam

Where's Waldo?, the kids book. [Callen looks at him blankly] He's like a goofy kid with a red and white striped shirt. [in disbelief] You don't know Waldo??

Callen

Sounds very patriotic. Look, this story is a big break for Dana. She may be able to parlay this into an anchor desk.

Sam

Yeah, thanks to a terrorist attack on American soil.

Callen

Every journalist owes tribute to the evil one.

Sam

What's that, one of Hetty's quotes?

Callen

Jean de La Fontaine. 17th century French poet.

Sam

[chuckles] You know 17th century French poets, but you don't know Waldo?

Eric

I'm sending you a still from Canter's parking security cams. Leyla was always there with a very formidable man.

Deeks

[looks at the picture on Kensi's phone] Wow. And that is a formidable toupee.

Kensi

[shows Edna a screenshot of the man] Come on. You can't forget a guy who lives with a cat on his head.

Eric

Photojournalist by day superhero by night.

Nell

Okay, Clark. I think we're gonna have to come up with something a little more believable than that.

Eric

Okay, like what?

Nell

Well it has to make sense that you'd be coming home with me.

Eric

Right.

Nell

Like, a boyfriend.

Eric

Aah!

Deeks

[In the boathouse, watching Callen interview a suspect] Wow, well played, Callen. Well played. You got 'im wrapped around your pinky. Not that it isn't something I haven't done a thousand times. Except for, of course, I did it in a courtroom with a ton of people. The judge [Holds up his hands as if he's staring through the scope on rifle] staring me down. The jury, sizing me up, sayin' what you got, public defender? What. You. Got?

Eric

[On the monitor] Uh... Deeks?

Deeks

Huh?

Eric

You, you know that I can hear you... right?

Deeks

Yeah. No, no. Yeah, I know- definitely know that you can- I mean I knew that you were there... if that's what you're asking.

Nell

[Moves on screen] Good, because I'm here, too.

Deeks

Oh. Nell. [laughing self-consciously] Hi.

Nell

'S up?

Granger

[Moves on screen] Detective.

Deeks

Oohph. Granger. Of course, Granger is there. It's like the whole Opsapalooze. What's going on, guys? What can I do you for?

Granger

Question. Do you crumble graham crackers into your S'mores-cakes?
