Javier Esposito quotes from Castle

Ryan

What if I'm really not ready?

Esposito

Well, you're not ready.

Ryan

What?

Esposito

Nobody is. Look, being a dad is like being a cop. Doesn't matter what they teach you in the Academy, you learn on the streets. You did okay with that, right?

Ryan

Uh, my first day, I was so nervous, I rear-ended a SWAT van and 10 guys in vests poured out, ready to take me down with extreme prejudice.

Esposito

"Javier"? You're gonna name a white Irish kid "Javier"?

Ryan

What? You're gonna bust on me now for being sentimental?

Esposito

Figure it's my last chance.

Ryan

No... No, no. We're getting out of here. There's a way out and we're gonna find it. I'm not leaving Jenny. I'm not leaving my baby without a dad.

Esposito

I don't get it. Why would the killer risk moving the body back here from the crime scene?

Castle

Sounds like a case of Weekend at Bernies's gone wrong. No. No, wait. That would have to mean there's such a thing as a Weekend at Bernie's gone right.

Beckett

So, how's Sarah Grace?

Ryan

Oh, man, I tell ya, she is just my perfect little angel. [Shows them a picture]

Beckett

Oh, she's so cute. Wow.

Esposito

Yeah.

Beckett

Is it me or, or does she look a lot like Esposito?

Esposito

Yeah, she does.

Beckett

Wow.

Ryan

Really, Beckett? I expected that from jackass, but not from you.

Esposito

Hey Castle, looks like your lovelife made the paper again...

Castle

Ah, what? Alright, alright, who am I gonna hook up with now?

Ryan

[Reading an article in the paper] Novelist Richard Castle and New York Police detective Katherine Beckett, both native New Yorkers, are pleased to announce their engagement.

Castle

No, nah, nonononono, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't do this...

Beckett

[Coming forward] Actually, I did.

Castle

I thought you...

Beckett

I know Castle, I like my privacy, but I do realize that you're somewhat famous...

Castle

[Indignantly] Somewhat?

Beckett

Yes, and if we're gonna be together, I have to come to terms with that. And if they're gonna write about you, I want it to be the truth, I want it to be about us. [Hugging Castle]

Castle

Well, there's no one that... [Esposito and Ryan grinning in the background, waiting for Castle and Beckett to kiss, Castle giving them the looks, they turn away] There's no one I'd rather share a headline with, but just for the interest of accuracy, let's see if we are getting married in space?

Beckett

No, it's not gonna happen babe...

Castle

[looking disappointed] Be pretty fun, space...

Esposito

[To Castle] Alright. Come on.

Castle

Hmm?

Esposito

Give us one of your theories, bro. Come on. Whatever it is, it can't be any crazier than what we're already dealing with.

Castle

Okay. I think...I'm man enough to admit I'm completely theory-less.

Esposito

Kate?

Beckett

I'm fine. I just never thought I'd see him again.

Gates

I'm sorry. Without the sheriff's cooperation, there's only so much we can do.

Beckett

So, we're just gonna let him get away with this?

Esposito

Kind of like how we let you get away with not inviting us to the wedding?

Gates

Well, at least you were invited to the champagne toast.

Beckett

Sorry, sir.

Gates

Oh, no, no, no. I'm sure it was Mr. Castle's fault.

What's your play?

Esposito

Talk to him. Try to get him to see the light. Then disarm him if I get the chance.

I should talk to him. I'm wearing the Kevlar.

Esposito

Yeah, but I've already got a rapport with the guy, so...

A bad rapport. I know what this is. I'm just a transit cop. You gold-shield guys are always acting like you're better than us.

Esposito

We are better than you.

Esposito

You did all right down there. I don't care what they say about transit cops.

Mmm. What they say about gold shields is even worse. Mostly 'cause it's true.

Ryan

You know, maybe that's what I need. A catchphrase. [With a gravel voice] "Time to mete out justice." "Time for prison time."

Esposito

Yeah, you keep working on that, bro.

Ryan

"Time to pay the bill for doing the kill."

Esposito

Okay, on second thought, don't.

Ryan

You know what time it is? It's Ryan time.

Esposito

Please just stop.

Ryan

My name's Ryan and I hate lyin'.

Esposito

There is no way he's ahead of us on this [case].

Ryan

Hey, he got to the morgue before us, and that lawyer.

Beckett

Ryan, he is resourceful, but he is not that resourceful.

Ryan

He got you to marry him, didn't he?

Esposito

Beckett, that was a badass takedown tonight on that show. It was strong, yet sexy.

Ryan

Yeah, Beckett, the camera really loves you.

Beckett

You guys, shut up, both of you.

Castle

What about me, guys? How did I look?

Esposito

Like you should stick to writing

Beckett

What are you guys fighting about?

Ryan

Uh, the first case that Captain Montgomery partnered us on, 10 years ago today.

Castle

Really, it's your anniversary? And I didn't get you anything.

Esposito

There's still time.

Beckett

Guys, is there any way to check police records from 30 years ago? See if there were any abandoned cars ticketed within a 50-mile radius of Hollander's Woods?

Esposito

Sure. We just have to call all the municipal police departments in the area...

Ryan

And wait for them to stop laughing long enough to beg them to check their dusty storage rooms.

Ryan

You're serious?

Beckett

We need to know exactly what we're dealing with here. So, happy manniversary.
