[talking to Ryan, who's in the burning building, on the phone]
Is it you? It's really you?
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, it's me, beautiful.
Oh, thank God. Where are you? The baby's coming.
Ryan
I'm inside.
Ryan
I'm sorry. I know I promised, but I'm not gonna be there.
Don't say that. Please, don't say that.
Ryan
Sorry. I love you more than anything. Remember that. Always remember that.
Kevin, please. No, don't leave me.
Ryan
I don't wanna.
We need a name. For the baby. We need to do that together.
Ryan
If it's a boy, Javier.
Ryan
Sarah Grace, after your grandmother.
I love you so much, Kevin. I love you.
Ryan
I love you, too.
[line is cut]
[trapped inside a burning building, while Jenny is in labor]
"Javier"? You're gonna name a white Irish kid "Javier"?
Ryan
What? You're gonna bust on me now for being sentimental?
Figure it's my last chance.
[they share a laugh]
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.
Ryan
Oh, man, I tell ya, she is just my perfect little angel. [Shows them a picture]
Is it me or, or does she look a lot like Esposito?
Ryan
Really, Beckett? I expected that from jackass, but not from you.
Hey Castle, looks like your lovelife made the paper again...
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.
No, nah, nonononono, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't do this...
[Coming forward] Actually, I did.
I know Castle, I like my privacy, but I do realize that you're somewhat famous...
[Ryan and Esposito make the "little" gesture]
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]
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?
No, it's not gonna happen babe...
[looking disappointed] Be pretty fun, space...
Ryan
...but I did find out about our victim through his personal website.
He's got his own website?
Ryan
Yeah, he's an actor. A struggling one, judging by his credits.
Justin Marquette is "a member of the Roster Theater Company" and is "currently appearing in their off-off-off-Broadway production of Checkhov's Platonov." That's a lot of "offs."
VVinny
Okay, listen. On occasion, clients might need to make a vehicle disappear, and for ten grand, such a thing can be handled.
What was the name of the client?
VVinny
No names came up. He called me in the morning, he said the right things, we struck a deal, but I never met the man. It was all anonymous.
Ryan
Then how did you get paid?
VVinny
We used a drop. The client left a bag full of cash in a dumpster on the lower East side right after the SUV got turned into a panini.
Ryan
After? What happens if you crush a car and then you don't get your money?
VVinnie
(chuckles) That does not happen.
Ryan
You know, maybe that's what I need. A catchphrase. [With a gravel voice] "Time to mete out justice." "Time for prison time."
Yeah, you keep working on that, bro.
Ryan
"Time to pay the bill for doing the kill."
Okay, on second thought, don't.
[As Kat Kingsley waits in the interrogation room]
Would it be weird if I asked her to sign this? [Unwraps a poster of her]
Ryan
When? On her way to jail?
It would mean so much to me.
There is no way he's ahead of us on this [case].
Ryan
Hey, he got to the morgue before us, and that lawyer.
Ryan, he is resourceful, but he is not that resourceful.
Ryan
He got you to marry him, didn't he?
What is this? What are you guys doing?
Ah. Well, Ryan was working all night, and he texted me.
You texted Castle and not me?
Ryan
Well, when you have a crazy theory, you don't call the voice of reason.
Beckett, that was a badass takedown tonight on that show. It was strong, yet sexy.
Ryan
Yeah, Beckett, the camera really loves you.
You guys, shut up, both of you.
What about me, guys? How did I look?
Like you should stick to writing
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?
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.
[Beat]
Ryan
You're serious?
We need to know exactly what we're dealing with here. So, happy manniversary.
