“Heartbreak Hotel” quotes from Castle

The last time I saw you in your PJs after eight am, I think you were four.

Alexis

We're off today. Teacher's retreat. I didn't feel like getting dressed.

This wouldn't have anything to do with Ashley, would it?

Alexis

Did I do the right thing, breaking up with him?

Oh, sweetie, I don't know. That's something only you can answer.

Alexis

It sucks. I miss him a lot.

Yeah, well you're not doing yourself any favours sitting around reading Pride and Prejudice. That's just gonna make it worse. Might as well be listening to Adele.

Alexis

Hey, she totally gets it. And so does Jane Austen.

Castle

Do you keep former guests in the system?

That's how we flag gamblers with priors.

Castle

What about me?

Let's see. Richard Castle. Resident New York City. Disorderly conduct, resisting arrest in 2003. And, uh, wow. Apparently last time you were at the Sapphire, you accidentally set a mattress on fire and the drapes were covered in jam.

Castle

(Laughing.) That was a good fun night.

Castle

Let's not let a little thing like murder get in the way of having a good time.

Well, how about just a low-key evening with your girlfriends? You guys can have a John Hughes marathon and fill out a Cosmo quiz.

Alexis

Dad, the ‘80s just called. It wants its plan back.

Castle

You know, the man owned a casino. A guy like that, you’d think he’d have a driver.

Esposito

Especially since he was expecting trouble. He came heavy. [Holds up a bagged gun] It’s a .357 Magnum with all six still asleep in the cylinder.

Ryan

He didn’t even pull it out of the glove box. If he did, we’d be standing over the other guy.

Castle

Yeah well, you got to know when to hold them. And, when to fold them.

Esposito

Know when to walk away. Know when the run.

Lanie

[giving Esposito an irritated glance] Detective Esposito, a little respect, please. I mean, there is a dead body here.

Esposito

What’d I do?

Castle

You broke up with her.

Esposito

We broke up with each other. That’s different.

Castle

Yeah, you would think it would be different. But, no.

Esposito

Did you see that? He [Ryan] just sidestepped me. What’s that about?

Castle

It’s almost as though the thought of marriage fills him with an impending sense of doom. [Laughs] No, no, wait, that’s me.

Esposito

What are you doing?

Castle

What’s it look like? Do you think I was going to pass up a road trip to the Boardwalk Empire, the East Coast epicenter of dancing, gambling, showgirls and sin?

Ryan

You do realize we’re going there to investigate a murder, don’t you?

Castle

[putting his arms around their shoulders] Gentlemen, if I’ve learned one thing, it’s to not let a little thing like murder get in the way of having a good time. And also, shotgun.
