Tammy Gregorio quotes from NCIS: New Orleans

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.

Gregorio

Clever. Frightening, but clever.

Patton

Don't worry. Big Brother Patton only uses his power for good.

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.

Where are you taking me?

Gregorio

Safe house.

Safe house in the Ninth? Kind of a contradiction, isn't it? Look at this place, they haven't even rebuilt.

Gregorio

Someone stole their money.

Look, T, I know I did wrong. I had a lot of time to think, all those lonely, winter nights in Iowa. I learned humility. And if I could fix it all

Gregorio

Maybe you can. What if you helped return the $80 million? Took the Aufieros down, got your life back.

My life means nothing to me. But our life, what we had, I'd do it in a nanosecond.

Gregorio

Ethan.

Remember that first trip we made? Anguilla. Just you, me and umbrella drinks. [sighs] No lies, no resentment, not a care in the world. You know I've always loved you, T. [sighs]

Gregorio

I'm gay.

Not the response I was expecting.

Gregorio

Yeah, well, there's a lot about me you don't know.

[sighs] Gay, huh? So, in a way, my betrayal kind of gave you a chance to find yourself.

Gregorio

Wow. How does my personal revelation become your victory?

I'm just saying. I've always been good for you.

Gregorio

You do know what gay means, right? Can we just focus on the case? Excuse me.

I-I wish I knew where the money was.

Gregorio

It's in an offshore account under Alex's name. That's why his brothers killed him. Probably why they tried to kill you.

Yeah, they thought I knew about the account. Yeah, I wish I did, but it's too late now. They got the money.

Gregorio

They haven't accessed it yet. They tried to get Alex's body. I'm figuring they needed a fingerprint or eye scan. Hey, listen. We got a chance, with your help, to stop them. Please.

[sighs] I want to help you, T. I-I want to spend the rest of my life making up for what I did, but I have no idea how to get that money.

Gregorio

[scoffs] Let me sweep the house. Stay here.

Gregorio

Some people never change. You hotwire cars now, too?

Not very well, apparently.

Gregorio

That was all me. See, I have an app on my phone that remotely shuts my car off because I knew you'd try to escape.

Come on, what did you expect? $80 million is a lot of money, T. Can't blame me for trying.

Gregorio

Oh, I blame you for a lot of things. And I know you have some kind of devious plan to get that money.

Doesn't matter now, because I am going to jail. Sure your little team is waiting in the bushes ready to arrest me.

Gregorio

No, you're not going anywhere, Ethan. You're gonna help the Aufieros steal that money or I will throw your sorry ass in jail.

Percy

You're going to have to stop hiding sometime.

Gregorio

Ok, Dr. Phil. Relent.

Sebastian

That was unexpected.

Gregorio

You did great, baby. You did great.

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.

Gregorio

It's not your fault, Pride.

Pride

No, it's Hamilton's.

Gregorio

Special Agent Boyd is kind of a stickler when it comes to protocol.

Percy

And forms. Lots of forms.

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.

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.

Gregorio

He's got no reason to talk.

Pride

No rational reason. Time for the irrational.

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

You do anything, I'll break your jaw.

Eva

I've missed you.

Eva

Are those bullet holes?

Gregorio

We like a place with character.
