Christopher LaSalle quotes from NCIS: New Orleans

Gregorio

Of course Pride spent summers working on his uncle's oil rig. What hasn't the guy done?

LaSalle

Certifiable Renaissance man. That's why he's the boss.

Gregorio

Hey, look, LaSalle. I know we've been butting heads. But today was ...

LaSalle

A huge success. It was. After all, we took down the bad guys and at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Gregorio

Still we were at each other's throats.

LaSalle

It's growing pains. Ancient history.

Gregorio

History tends to repeat itself.

LaSalle

As far as I'm concerned, we were arguing because we both care. And that's a good thing.

Gregorio

All right, I'm down with that.

Percy

We're like a well-oiled if extremely loud machine.

Pride

Do I want to know what that means?

LaSalle

It means we're glad to have you back.

Pride

No matter what any emails say, we're a team first. We've got each other's back, right?

Gregorio

Yeah.

Percy

Totally.

LaSalle

We're good, King.

Pride

Gotta work on that enthusiasm.

LaSalle

You really like McGee, don't you?

Percy

Yeah, a bit of a man crush.

Sebastian

A total man crush. Also it's like looking to a crystal ball, to see what I could become. McGee is basically future Sebastian.

LaSalle

I never knew you were a romantic, Gregorio.

Gregorio

Profiling isn't just for criminals. It comes in handy, trust me.

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.

Gregorio

Picked the lock? Is that a new skill?

A man's got to grow. Food just arrived. I have been dreaming about this spread.

Gregorio

You know how pissed off I am right now?

Have a glass of Brèzè. Make you feel better. Same one from our fifth anniversary.

Gregorio

Alex Aufiero was murdered. But you know that since you fled the crime scene in his car.

I was gonna tell you right before your friend interrupted us.

Gregorio

My friend, the NCIS agent, who was coming to take me to investigate the homicide you're involved in!

Alex was a good kid. I didn't kill him.

Gregorio

Every cop in the city is after you right now. No more lies, Ethan.

I haven't lied. Call the FBI. They'll tell you I was in WITSEC, and that someone tried to attack me.

Gregorio

I called, and they confirmed it.

So, see? I'm in danger.

Gregorio

Okay, and you thought it was a good idea to escape my hotel room and come here and have dinner in the middle of a restaurant?

Nobody's gonna shoot me here. And I was hungry. Oh Besides, I left a note. It's not like I'm a flight risk.

Gregorio

You are the definition of a flight risk, and maybe a murderer.

Come on, baby, let me explain.

Gregorio

Do not baby me. You have 30 seconds. You better start talking.

I've never explained anything in 30 seconds.

Gregorio

25 seconds.

T, relax. We've got plenty of time to sort this out.

Gregorio

Don't tell me to relax.

LaSalle

Ethan McKinley. NCIS. Get your hands up.

Percy

Gregorio?

Oh, this just got awkward.

Pride

You know who did it?

LaSalle

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

LaSalle

Honestly, I don't know what I felt. Maybe I could have been a little jealous.

Percy

Maybe I could have let Nadine go.

Percy

Are you jealous?

LaSalle

Jealous.

Percy

You're jealous.

LaSalle

You're trippin', girl.

Pride

If any of us want to bow out ...

LaSalle

You know us better than that.

Gregorio

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Just out the SCIF with HQ, found out that the big rig was from a subbase and they were hauling

LaSalle

Radioactive waste, we already know.

How? I just got read in myself.

LaSalle

We can't always wait to be read in. By the time we get read in, it's already too late.

LaSalle

[phone chimes] That's Pride. Wants us to give him an update after we're done here.

Gregorio

You've been updating him?

LaSalle

Of course I have. Look, it's killing Pride not being here with us. Our smart money said he's on his way back as we speak.

Gregorio

Meh, not this time.

LaSalle

How long you been working with him?

Gregorio

Long enough to know that he's changed since last year.

LaSalle

You want to bet?

Gregorio

Yes.

LaSalle

All right, Pride comes back early.

Gregorio

Right.

LaSalle

The next time we watch your Yankees, you wear a Big Papi jersey.

Gregorio

Okay, okay. Or when Pride doesn't come back, because he won't, you got to paint your face purple and gold for the next LSU game.

LaSalle

It's on like Donkey Kong.
