Pride quotes from NCIS: New Orleans

Pride

[to Gregorio] I'm taking a break from taking a break.

Pride

[to Walker] I guess you're right. Today is my lucky day.

Pride

[to Parsons] You aren't behind this. They want something from you too.

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

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

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.

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.

Pride

Alright. I'll speak to Blake's Master Chief, find out more about Blake and that mission in Somalia.

LaSalle

King, you know how SEALS don't like anyone poking in their business. Especially NCIS.

Pride

I'll use my gentle face.

Wade

I broke up with James.

Pride

Why?

Wade

He was too interested and available for my tastes.

Pride

Since when is available a problem?

Wade

He's never been married, Dwayne. Any man his age who has never made a serious commitment, sends up red flags.

Pride

Loretta - you're his age. You've never been married either.

Wade

This is why I like the dead. They don't call me on my hypocrisy.

Pride

Bad timing?

Sebastian

Oh, not at all. I was just trying an experiment in weight distribution. Someone once said to me "always expect the unexpected". Unfortunately it was my urologist and that is not someone you want to hear that from.

Wade

No matter how quiet and gentle a soul, you get 'em behind a wheel and suddenly they revert to the most base and primal.

Pride

I know - I've driven with you!
