Enrico Colantoni: Sergeant Gregory 'Greg' Parker

Quotes 

• Sgt. Gregory Parker : [to an SRU member forced to shoot someone in the line of duty]  We have a saying here: just because you do right doesn't mean you get to feel right.

• Delia Semple : Not a bad vacation for the guys who get to fly over, at least.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Well, if you like jumping over the ocean in a metal coffin, sure.

  Delia Semple : So, there's something that you guys are actually afraid of.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Well, you know what? We all have our weak spots. Could be anything... flying,

  [looks at Ed] 

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : cats.

  Ed Lane : It was one cat; it was mean!

  Mike Scarlatti : [nodding]  I was there; it was mean.

• Ed Lane : Lewis, accompany the sarge.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Eddie, that's not necessary. I'm just making a statement.

  Ed Lane : We know the new route. Those people out there don't and if one of them's planning on taking a run at our guy, that puts you in their way.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Look, hey... Sorry about that cat thing.

  Ed Lane : [mock seriousness]  We will talk about that later.

• Sgt. Gregory Parker : And no flags come up when his name matches one of Wilkins' victims?

  Jack Broder : How is that supposed to come up in a... a clearance check?

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Oh, I don't know, it took Semple's guys 30 seconds on Google.

• Sam Braddock : [discussing options of getting the prisoner safely transported through the airport crowd]  Boss, why don't we take him through customs and then double back to a loading area and have a truck waiting there?

  Ed Lane : Our turf, take custody there, but we gotta keep that crowd preoccupied or they'll follow the truck.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : I can give 'em a little press conference, a little distraction while you guys are getting Elvis out of the building.

  Delia Semple : So, you want to take the prisoner along a non-vetted route, through an international area, where he's back under my jurisdiction, lie to the press and evade the public?

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Pretty much.

  Ed Lane : Pretty much.

  Delia Semple : Let's make it work.

• Sgt. Gregory Parker : This guy's a pro. I'm gonna guess he's military. He's a great shot and he grabbed one of my guys and that's a hard thing to do. Now, what I'm worried about is his lack of care for getting caught or killed. That tells me he's desperate, which means he's dangerous.

• Ed Lane : [on radio]  Boss, we've got a big problem.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : What, you can't take the shot?

  Ed Lane : No, I can take the shot. But if I do, I kill Sam.

• Sgt. Gregory Parker : Delia? Delia, what are you doing? This isn't right. This isn't justice. This is vengeance. You know that.
