“Nanny McDead” quotes from Castle

Castle

[his murder theory] You see him every day, only you never notice him. But he noticed Sara. She's young, beautiful, the kind of girl that a guy like him would never have a chance with. We all know girls like that don't we? Well, at first, it's just a game. Figure out her schedule. When does she do her laundry? When is she alone? Until it becomes something more, something that he can't control. Well, he uses the stairs, obviously, to avoid the elevator's cameras. And then he just waits, concealed in the shadows. When she comes into that laundry room, he pounces. When he looked into her vacant, lifeless eyes, he wanted to tell her he never meant to kill her. All he ever wanted was to be noticed. That's when he felt the heat of that dryer on his skin. So he picks up her limp body in his arms and gently places it inside. He almost smiled at his good fortune when he found the quarter in his pocket, slipping it into the slot. Buying him the time to do what he does best... disappear.

[pauses, then continues] Just saying, better story. Coffee?

Kate Beckett: Exactly how much longer do I have to expect you to be shadowing me on my cases like this?

Rick Castle: Hard to say. When I'm writing a new character, there's no telling when inspiration might strike.

Kate Beckett: I thought I was your inspiration.

Rick Castle: Oh, you are, Detective. And in so many ways.

Kate Beckett: Yeah, well your inspiration might strike you sooner than you think.

Rick Castle: Why only run the workers' names? Why not run all the neighbors names?

Kate Beckett: What are you basing that on?

Rick Castle: I'm basing that on the neighbor would make a better story. No, come on. What do any of us know about our neighbors in this city? You think the guy living next door to the Son of Sam knew he was living next door to the Son of Sam?

Roy Montgomery: He's right. Neighbors in Berkowitz's building had no idea was the Son of Sam killer.

Rick Castle: Thank you. What about the guy in 8B?

Kate Beckett: Who?

Rick Castle: 8B. Quiet guy. You see him every day, only you never notice him. But he noticed Sara. She's young, beautiful, the kind of girl that a guy like him would never have a chance with. We all know girls like that don't we? Well, at first, it's just a game. Figure out her schedule. When does she do her laundry? When is she alone?

Roy Montgomery: Let see what we can find out about those neighbors. [starts to walk away but turns back briefly] And someone better tell me who the hell lives in 8B!
