Pride quotes from NCIS: New Orleans

Pride

Leaving without a goodbye drink?

Elvis

I raided your cabinet while I was planning my exit.

Think you could take these handcuffs off me yet?

Pride

Haven't decided yet.

Pride, my second impression is so much better than my first.

Pride

One can only hope.

Pride

Fifty ways this goes south.

Gregorio

That's optimistic. I can think of a hundred.

Rita

You seem a little tense. You might want to lighten up on the keys.

Pride

Music critic, huh? Do you play?

Rita

No. I used to sing a little, though

Pride

Why'd you stop?

Rita

Lost my piano player.

Pride

Look, I know that Noah was your friend.

Rita

That's got nothing to do with this.

Pride

It does when you're not thinking straight, 'cause you're loaded for bear.

Rita

[sighs].

Pride

Probably the first argument I ever won with you.

Gregorio

I'm just sayin' we usually start things off with an actual crime, a phone call, a body. But here you're basing a lot of this Rita friend of yours. You must have good reason to trust her instincts.

Pride

I do.

Gregorio

Huh.

Pride

Keep fishing, New York.

Rita

The end doesn't always justify the means, especially if it ends up getting you killed.

Pride

That's not going to happen.

Pride

You think I'm gonna let him drown?

LaSalle

The thought did cross my mind.

Pride

Good. Then it's crossed his mind too.

LaSalle

You do know there's sharks in the Gulf.

Pride

Fully aware.

Pride

Everybody all right?

Sebastian

Define all right.

Pride

You were really going to inject him?

Sebastian

To save Loretta, yeah?

Pride

Good job.

Hamilton

You got stones, Dwayne, I'll give you that much. Last thing we both need is for the media to get ahold of this. They've already contacted my office, more than once.

Pride

Media hysteria is not gonna help me find out who's responsible. In fact, it'll hurt the cause. I got a lead, just need a day or two, maybe less.

Hamilton

Still, I couldn't very well lie to the people. I wouldn't be a very good mayor if I did, now would I? Apparently the Office of Public Health is getting calls, too. They're asking for an official statement. And by the way, how's Loretta doing? Real shame, isn't it?

Pride

So, what? You're gonna make this personal, is that it? This is about trying to stop an outbreak, saving innocent people; this isn't about us, Hamilton.

Hamilton

Everything's about us since Garcia. You may not see this, Dwayne, but the truth is we both want the same thing: what's good for this city. The only problem is that you think that bringing me down is the best way to do that, and I can't allow that to happen.

Pride

So what do you want?

Hamilton

I want whatever you got on me. Whatever you think you got. Vis-a-vis Garcia

Pride

Sounds like an admission to me.

Hamilton

Not admitting anything. I just want you off my back once and for all.

Pride

So you're threatening to impede my investigation, risk causing widespread fear just to cover your own ass?

Hamilton

You're the one doing the threatening, and I'm not gonna stand for it, not anymore, even if it means getting you and your whole damn team kicked out of New Orleans.

Pride

NCIS is federal. You don't have the power or the jurisdiction

Hamilton

Oh, man, jurisdiction doesn't mean anything if you got connections. And me and SECDEF go way back, believe me. Apparently, there's something called a mobility agreement. Says that if Navy brass thinks NCIS and the city aren't getting along, well, they can re-assign you to God knows where. Gloves are off, Dwayne. You want my help, hmm? Cooperation? That only happens you get me everything you got on Garcia by this time tomorrow. Understand?

Pride

You know who did it?

LaSalle

I do, and I sure as hell wish I didn't.

Percy

You mean we're going to trick Nadine?

Pride

We're going to trick her, to save her life and to keep Boko Haram from getting those guns. And that's going to have to be enough for you.

Pride

Bug's in Hamilton's pocket.

Patton

Reading him loud and clear. And he is pissed.

Pride

So am I.
