NCIS: New Orleans quotes

Pride

Something… might have happened to Calvin. Something bad.

But you’re not sure

Pride

I’m not sure

Only two things I ever loved in this life. Calvin and jazz. Going to hold on tight to one, and pray I haven’t lost the other.

Pride

All I’m saying, where you lay your head in this city defines you.

Brody

Okay so where do I go if I want to be defined by a full night’s sleep?

Pride

Don’t ever go into politics, Christopher. All of a sudden your definition of good and evil becomes defined by how many votes it gets you.

LaSalle

You present yourself all buttoned up, but you’re an odd bird, Brody.

Pride

Go grab your coat and hat. We’ll take a walk. We’ll talk.

I got nothing to say, old friend.

Pride

Let me re-phrase the question. Why did the sailor cross the road?

Wade

Let me re-phrase the answer. The sailor crossed against his will. Something made him do it. Now he's dead.

Pride

Talk to me Loretta.

Wade

Steinbeck.

Pride

Pardon?

Wade

Gone are the days when people died of working too hard in the field. And old age was a legitimate medical diagnosis. I bring up Mr. Steinbeck because those were simpler times. Now it's all about peeling back the layers. Cases like this are mysteries, wrapped in complex enigmas.

Pride, it's clear we need to contain the situation fast. If word gets out, a city-wide panic would be just as deadly as the plague itself.

LaSalle

Brody you've been a big help. Pride and I want you to know we kind of like having you around. There's been way too much testosterone in this office for too long.

Brody

Well, you two know I needed a change. Guess I got lucky.

Brody

It really smells awful in here.

LaSalle

Smells like stupidity to me.

Pride

Why they pay you the big bucks.

Sebastian

Well not exactly Daddy Warbucks. Then again, better than a barista at Starbucks.

Pride

Just take the compliment, kid.

LaSalle

You don't worry much about cholesterol do you?

I try not to worry about anything, LaSalle. You only live once. You might as well enjoy it while you got it.

LaSalle

Don't mind if I do.

Pride

Help me out, Gibbs. Need to know what was in Babakov's interrogation file.

Heavily redacted?

Pride

That's why I'm on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic. Anything that's there I need to know. You got to read me in on it.

You disobeyed a direct order, Agent Pride, which puts us in the dark. We've no clue what intel Nash compromised or who Babakov was selling it too. Needless to say there's fallout. Both the CIA and SecNav want an internal investigation.

Pride

With all due respect, Director, you want me to make a choice between a traitor and one of my own, I'll take the shot every time. You want my badge, you know where to find me.

LaSalle

Can I ask you a question?

Shoot.

LaSalle

Why haven't we....

Dated? You know that's funny, because I was just asking myself the same thing.

LaSalle

Come up with anything?

Cause in about two seconds we'd be broken up. Crossing paths at work and that would just be....

LaSalle

Uncomfortable.

Bingo.
