TV show quotes
Ten years since we came home and found that detective waiting for us. Ten years since we crossed that yellow tape and went into that alley. And every time I cross the tape at a crime scene, I think of that night.
That's what makes you such a good cop.
What if I let her down?
Do you know why I chose you as my inspiration for Nikki Heat?

Because you're tall. [Beckett smiles and relaxes] Now go in there and do your job.
Montgomery's post-incident evaluation. You come off like Steven Segal.
Should I be flattered or insulted?
Both.
Esposito [to Castle]: Why do you care about some mother-freaking snakes on a mother-freaking plane?
There are two things in abundance in South Africa: racial hatred and diamonds.
Ryan [about Beckett and Castle]: Do they know they're finishing each other's sentences?
If this squatter was so meticulous about putting things back, why'd he leave all this for us to find?
You're right. It makes no sense.
[surprised] What? No grand theatrical theory to spin for us?
Honestly, I got nothing.
So, how was your day?
I had a truly great day. I got pulled out of class and called to the vice-principal's office.
Why? What did she want?
You. Here's her number.
Her number?
Oh! And my German teacher, Fraulein Sonnenberg wanted me to tell you, auf Deutsch, "Du hast Sexappeal." She's two years from ordering off the senior menu, but here's her number, too.
Fraulein Sonnenberg?
Too old? That's okay, 'cause my friend Sloan thinks you're real choice. She's 17, but she'll be legal in three months. Hey, maybe we could double?
[beginning to grin] Oh? You hate me a little bit right now, don't you?
Just a little.
Well, the pen is mightier than the sword, but a baseball bat can be pretty effective too.
[after hearing Castle comes from a line of mind readers]
Con artists and circus people, huh?
Yeah, and mind-readers.
Really? So tell me what I'm thinking.
Ah! You're... You're thinking... You don't care and you want me to stop talking?
Ooh, that's uncanny.
It's in the blood.

I'd be happy to rub lotion on you.
What is it with professional sports? Even the agencies are on steroids.
Fox's client list is a veritable who's-who of star athletes. Five percent of their endorsements and salaries? You could pay for half of lower Manhattan.
...did you just use the word "veritable?"
Yes, I did.
Sexy.
You should hear me say "fallacious."
[after meeting Joe Torre]
That was Joe freaking Torre!
We should get a warrant, run his subscribers against any hate mail that the Vegas might have gotten.
You sure you got no cop in the Castle family tree?
No, us Castles are mostly con artists and circus folk, sir.
No, I think there's a little cop in there somewhere.
[Castle’s theory on the suspected killer]
Maybe it was the Cuban government all along. They hated Vega for defecting, so they sent a beautiful spy for him to fall in love with. It works. He smuggles her back home, and bam, he's dead.
Sounds like a Castle story.
[Esposito scoffs]
I'll call it "Corazon de Fuego."
