Christopher LaSalle quotes from NCIS: New Orleans

What do you have against me, New York?

Gregorio

That you creepily know my nickname.

LaSalle

And that you beat the crap out of our boss.

LaSalle

Pride sent me a text. He got a tip from a law enforcement buddy. "Check Lindsey's apartment for a book on Renaissance art, sundial, and exotic flowers.

Patton

Pride's buddy's onto something.

LaSalle

Well, you mean Pride's onto something. He must be working the case from Gulf Shores, which means New York here just earned herself a Red Sox jersey.

Gregorio

Uh, no, not until I see him walk through that door I haven't. Besides, this stuff doesn't get us any closer to finding Lindsey or the stalker.

Sebastian

That's not entirely true. The Madagascar jasmine, that's that's promising. Let's see, yeah. Pyrethrum isn't just used on crops. It's also used on exotic flowers. Patton, can you search for for Southern Louisiana specialty nurseries, ones that deal in exotic flora?

Patton

I'm on it. Rare Earth Nursery on the West Bank. But it went under last year.

Sebastian

That doesn't mean that the greenhouses still aren't functioning. Stalker tracked in the pesticide. There's a good chance that he's growing those flowers out there himself.

LaSalle

Well, there's only one way to find out.

Gregorio

Get down! Get down now! Three rounds.

Eva

I saw at least three guys.

Gregorio

All right, listen, I'll draw their fire. Get Alexander back to the car and get the hell out of here. It's not up for debate! Go!

It's okay. Coast is clear. - Gregorio? - She's behind us. Good. (Shoots Eva three times)

Eva! No!

Gregorio

[tackles and fights Barns] Alex, get out of here! Go!

LaSalle

[they shoot a gunman] Get down! Alexander, you're all right. We're NCIS.

Percy

You're safe now. Listen, where is Gregorio and Eva?

A woman attacked us. Eva's dead.

Percy

Pride, we secured Alexander and one suspect. Gregorio's in the park with Barns. She needs help.

Pride

Copy, Sonja. On our way.

Percy

Come on.

Pride

Drop it now!

I can explain what happened here.

Gregorio

She shot Eva is what happened.

No, she was gonna attack me.

Gregorio

Load of crap!

Shut up! I'm telling the truth, Isler.

Isler

You're a double agent, Barns.

Pride

Put the gun down now, or we will shoot.

I'm sorry, I can't do that.

Gregorio

[takes down and arrests Barns] You don't get off that easy. You got too much to answer for. [Barns groaning] Alexander?

Pride

Safe with LaSalle and Sonja. Hey. You okay, New York?

Gregorio

Honestly I don't know.

Percy

A ghost has been seen knocking at the door of that mansion.

LaSalle

If he's a ghost, why doesn't he just walk through the door?

Percy

Good question.

Sebastian

No, but maybe this'll help. I digitized the photos that Pride took from the seance, which, scientifically speaking, is a total quack. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love, uh, The Haunting, I love Poltergeist-- the originals, I mean, not the remakes. - You guys want to talk about quacks?

LaSalle

Sebastian

Sebastian

They're not good movies. What do you want me to say?

LaSalle

The photo.

Sebastian

I was able to isolate a, uh, fingerprint smudge on one of the candles-- you see it right there?

Gregorio

Any matches?

Sebastian

Oh, yeah. No surprise-- a, uh, con artist psychic who is on probation for taking tourists for everything they got.

LaSalle

Got a name on this joker?

Sebastian

Name and an address. [pulls up the information] Otis Bartholomeus the Third. He, uh, works at one of those haunted mansions called The Mortuary.

Gregorio

Wait a minute.

Percy

Isn't that the

Gregorio

creep from our crime scene?

Percy

Yeah

Gregorio

Yes spirit chaser, my ass. That's probably our perp.

LaSalle

All right, call Pride. He's with Jacob's sister. Tell him we got a legit suspect.

LaSalle

I don't know how you did it, but you did it.

Pride

No I didn't. I almost got Danny killed.

Pride

Hey, what's wrong?

LaSalle

My dad. He's dead. He was out on the balcony, drinking coffee, reading the paper. All the sudden collapsed. Gone before the ambulance got there.

Pride

I'm so sorry, Chris.

LaSalle

Eh, that's not what you were saying all the way over here. Complaining and whining the whole way.

Gregorio

That's because you hit every pothole in New Orleans.

Patton

I never condemn anyone for following their bliss, brah.

LaSalle

Yeah, but what if it's not?

LaSalle

Now that you're really leaving, I can't help but wonder what might have been.

Percy

Me, too.

Sebastian

I covered that house inside and outside, and all I got was a rash, which I hope isn't ringworm.

LaSalle

Me too.

Gregorio

We got to play it cool.

LaSalle

You know me Gregorio, I'm ice cold.

LaSalle

That plan's audacious with a limited margin for error.

Gregorio

Yep.

LaSalle

Dwayne would approve.

LaSalle

(cell phone chimes) HQ. They need me in SCIF.

Gregorio

Well, get to it, boss. (sighs)

Christopher

LaSalle

Gibbs

How's he doing?

LaSalle

Honestly? Not good.

Yep. I know both sides of that. His and yours. You stay strong.

LaSalle

I'm trying to. Director Vance doing all right?

Yeah, he's on the mend. Your suspect, Amelia Parsons.

LaSalle

The best we can tell, she was tying up loose ends for her former employer. Probably fleeing now.

It's not about loose ends.

LaSalle

You got a lead?

Yeah, we sent you a classified file on your shooter.

LaSalle

We've already been read in on Amelia's file.

No, you haven't. Not on this one.

LaSalle

She's CIA?

She contracted for them. Off the books, wet work.

LaSalle

Part of a hit team.

Yeah, with someone you might recognize. Her husband, John Stone.

LaSalle

Mr. Stone and Pride tangled about a year ago. He went over the side of a roof. Means this wasn't about business.

Means she's making it about revenge.

LaSalle

Helps a lot. Thanks, Gibbs.

Christopher? We know what Dwayne means to you.

LaSalle

All of us.

You take it personal.

LaSalle

Know what you're going to say. Keep my feelings out of it and work the case.

No. Just the opposite. You use those feelings. You make it personal. You do what you have to do to get Amelia.

LaSalle

I can handle this.

Pride

You can, but you don't have to do it alone.
