Quotes 

• Mayor Douglas 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.

  Dwayne 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.

  Mayor Douglas 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?

  Dwayne 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.

  Mayor Douglas 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.

  Dwayne Pride : So what do you want?

  Mayor Douglas Hamilton : I want whatever you got on me. Whatever you think you got. Vis-a-vis Garcia

  Dwayne Pride : Sounds like an admission to me.

  Mayor Douglas Hamilton : Not admitting anything. I just want you off my back once and for all.

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

  Mayor Douglas 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.

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

  Mayor Douglas 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?
