Richard Castle quotes from Castle

Esposito

Everything points to him being popped for cash and car parts.

Lanie

Not everything, baby

Beckett

[whispering] Did you just call him “baby?”

Lanie

Ooh. Did I?

Castle

[mouthing] You did.

Lanie

He was killed at 11:15

Castle

So specific. I’m impressed.

Lanie

His watch broke when he fell.

Castle

You shouldn’t have told me. Less impressed.

Castle

What do you think is in there?

Beckett

I don’t know. May be empty, like Al Copone’s vault.

Castle

No, think of all the amazing things that are found in storage units at times like this. [spreading his arms out] "Ark of the Covenant, Dr. Jones?"

Castle

How's Josh?

Beckett

Fine. He's He's on his way to Haiti to do another Doctors Without Borders mission.

Castle

How long?

Beckett

I don't know. It's so funny, Castle. You know, at first, I loved that he was so busy. It just It just gave me an opportunity to keep one foot out the door, just in case.

Castle

But with one foot out the door, it's hard to know where you stand.

Beckett

And even if I did, I mean, what does it mean? He's out there, he's saving people. How do you even compete with that?

Castle

You can't. No. No one can.

Beckett

That's one of the things that attracted me to him the most. That passion. That drive. Why is it that the thing that attracts you to a person always ends up being that thing that just drives you crazy? I just wish that it I wish that I had someone who would be there for me, and I could be there for him, and we could just dive into it together.

Castle

What’s your take on Fallon?

Beckett

Smart cop, driven, killer instinct. As a person, kind of a douche.

Ryan

We thought you must be out there doing something incredibly stupid against orders, so we sent patrol units everywhere we figured you’d be moronic enough to go. Found Beckett’s car, and we searched the area until we found the light from the storage container. [Bumps fists with Esposito]

Castle

Well, I’m glad my stupidity’s predictable.

You two. Are you always this stubborn and insubordinate?

Castle

Only when we’re trying to save the world.

Beckett

You should have seen his face. Because he stopped, he looked at me, he grabbed all the wires, and then he just yanked them.

Ryan

All of them?

Castle

I figured one of them had to be the right one...

Montgomery

You know, the Mayor wants to give you guys a medal. I didn’t have the heart to tell him you had no clue what you were doing.

...But thanks to you two, we won’t have to add the murder of innocent New Yorkers to that allegation

Beckett

Well, we were just doing our job. [pause] Actually, I was doing my job - I don’t know what the hell he was doing.

Castle

Hey! [beat] But that’s true.

Montgomery

You called the D.A.'s personal assitant without informing him?

Beckett

Sir, I'm sorry, I was...

Montgomery

Smart move! Well you see what just happened? He could have called and asked why his assistant was here, but he came in personally.

Beckett

He wanted to stop the interview!

Castle

He's hiding something!

Castle

Ordell Williams was right, it's a consp... [seeing Beckett writing "Conspiracy" on the murder board] ...iracy...

Beckett

I agree. I know, weird...

Castle

Yeah, weird, but ... good, because that's just the tip of the iceberg. Are you ready for the Titanic?

Beckett

Okay. That is really…

Castle

Well done.

Lanie

Another couple of hours, maybe. But luckily for me he’s only half-baked.

You gotta be kidding me!

Dad, these are the cops.

Castle

You must be Authentic Nick.

The one and only.

Beckett

Nick? I have the proprietor listed as Ralph Carbone.

Yeah, that’s me. Everybody calls me Nick.

Beckett

Why?

Because that’s what everybody calls me.

They’re thieves. They live off of our name. And they’re not even real Nicks. I’m the only real Nick.

Castle

And your real name is Ralph.

Exactly.

Beckett

You had a lot of imaginary friends growing up, didn’t you?

Castle

Still do.
