TV show quotes
Don't we usually get to the victim before the funeral?
What have we got?
Mourners found a body in the caskett
And that's unusual how?
Well, the family was bidding a fond farewell to Mr. Mank here and discovered that he wasn't going to the grave alone.
Is it just me, or is Mr. Mank smiling?
I found something unusual. Almost every morning she bought coffee.
A doctor that drinks coffee, wow that is unusual.
It is. The coffee shop is twenty blocks from her apartment.
Maybe it was on her way to work?
Nope, complete opposite direction.
Boyfriend in the neighborhood?
Only one way to find out. (walks away)
Great, now he's mad at me.
[Ryan telling Castle what he found after checking up on Greg’s alibi]
…So I spoke to more members of the staff and that’s when I found…the others.
The others?
The other women in what I call... [pulls out a second board] the Galaxy of Greg. Each one of these women orbits Greg and considers him to be her special friend.
Well, that totally makes him McSteamy!
An FBI profile was as close as we came to ID-ing a suspect. Feds say he's a white male, 25 to 45 years old,
[To Beckett] Could be me.
Has a dysfunctional relationship with his mother,
Still me.
He has a menial, unimportant job.
[To Castle] Definitely you.
Just for that, I'm basing my next book on Esposito. [Beckett glares at Castle]
It's like when I was doing Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and I thought my understudy was trying to poison me.
Oh, yeah, the daily blood tests I paid for. Wait, she did poison you. The Swiss chocolate she gave you was a laxative.
Eh, added a certain urgency to my performance. But the point is, you indulged my paranoia. So therefore I'm going to be in the park - five 'o clock - at a discreet distance to make sure that Alexis' secret admirer is not an axe murderer.
Tell me you've arrested Gates
Not even close. I mean, I don't know how, Castle, but he killed Kim Foster and he's gonna do it again.
There's been no developments? Usually you call me with news. [He stops in realization, his eyes grow wide. Beckett cringes, knowing she's been caught] You called to seek my council!
[Very slightly sheepish] I wouldn't say it exactly like that...
No, no, no! You're hoping I had some wild theory. Some sort of penetrating insight that would lead us to a breakthrough.
Well... do you?
[Stops, as if trying very hard to come up with something. Exhales exasperatedly] Gah! I got nothing.
Oh, it's really not complicated. You were raised by a single mother. She was blonde, she was beautiful, but she never wanted you. When you were, what, twelve? She died, suddenly. Let's say drug overdose. You went foster care, the bad kind. So much hate. So much hate towards your mother for abandoning you that you kill these women to get back at her. But you leave them looking peaceful because as much as you hated your mother, you loved your mother. Am I getting warm?
You're drawn to death. You like to be around it, because it thrills you. Now, where does that come from? Your own suppressed impulses? [Leans forward] How close to death do you want to get, huh?
Tell me something, Castle. Why did he let you live?
As punishment, for me ruining his plan. Now he's gonna kill again, all 'cause I couldn't stop him. And I feel so... [shakes his head despairingly]
I know the feeling.
I know you do.
[Beckett puts her hand on his knee. He clasps her hand in his own, his thumb stroking the back of her hand.]
For those of you living in a cave four years ago, the Triple Killer, or 3XK, got his nickname by strangling three women in a week, dropping out of sight for a month, and then killing three more. Then he disappeared. I served on the task force that investigated those six murders. An FBI profile was as close as we came to ID-ing the suspect. Feds say he's a white male, 25 to 45 years old...
[to Beckett, sotto voce] Could be me.
...with a dysfunctional relationship with his mother....
[to Beckett, sotto voce] Still me.
He has a menial, unimportant job.
[to Castle, sotto voce] Definitely you.
Just for that, I'm basing my next book on Esposito.
This is... the best thing that has ever happened to you. Rejection is the bedrock of a great acting career. Until an actor has suffered, he hasn't really lived.
Thanks, gram.
You're welcome. And besides, auditions are like men. There's another one right around the corner.
Ladies, I am not a stripper. Though I can understand how you'd make that mistake.
Castle?
(He's surrounded by women.) Hey, honey. Oh, you found me. I was just telling Denise here about you. (The women start to disperse.) This is, uh, my girlfriend, who's idea it was to come here tonight. She's very adventurous, you have no idea... there's... (The women leave. Kate sits down.) Thank God you found me. Oh, my God, these women are like piranhas.
Rick Castle: I can't believe you got dressed up for this. Tell me again why Ryan and Esposito couldn't come with you.
Kate Beckett: We all agreed, as Volunteer Assistant Homicide Detective you could really sink your teeth into this avenue of investigation. And they called "not it."
Rick Castle: You know, ever since I've been following you, I've been dreaming of the day that you'd say, "Let's go to the strip club and get this dirt bag." I just never imagined it would feel like this.
Kate Beckett: Let me know if you need any singles.
Kevin Ryan: Hans was right. We found a flower shop that confirmed weekly deliveries for the past four months.
Rick Castle: I knew if we beat on Mannschaft something would pop.
Kate Beckett: Who were they sent to?
Kevin Ryan: They were charged to an AmEx belonging to Rebecca Dalton, 48. She lives at 63rd and Madison.
Javier Esposito: Yo. Check this out. Fortune 500 lists Rebecca Dalton's husband as having a publishing empire in 2005. Says here that Rebecca used to be a runway model.
Rick Castle: She's married. Juicy.
Javier Esposito: Not anymore. Her husband died a couple of years ago, left his entire fortune to his grieving wife.
Rick Castle: Even more juicy. Rebecca marries young, spends her twenties and thirties under the thumb of a rich yet domineering husband. Well, he dies, leaving our aging beauty finally freed from the shackles of a loveless marriage. One night, she's out with her ex-model posse. She meets a very charming, very handsome Derek. For the first time in years, she feels alive again. The relationship reaches its inevitable conclusion when Derek meets someone closer to his own age. Well, the heartache has Rebecca so distraught that she kills Derek in a jealous rage. If she couldn't have him, well, then no one could.
Kevin Ryan: Did you go home and watch Sunset Boulevard before your little trip to The Package Store?
Kate Beckett: Thank you for your always entertaining stories, but I think we will get a lot closer to the truth if we just ask Rebecca a few questions tomorrow morning.
Rick Castle: It's good though, right?
Kevin Ryan: Yeah, I liked it.
Okay Castle, I'm here; what's so important?
Your first clue is: "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime".
Oh, Jeez, Castle, I haven't even had my coffee yet - (he hands her a cup of coffee) Thank you.
From the Sherlock Holmes stories, Silver Blaze. Holmes unmasks the murderer because of what didn't happened. The dog didn't bark. That's how he knew: the dog must have known the killer.
Okay,yes, I remember the story.
Then you know that the hardest form of detection is looking for the thing, it isn't there. Byron said that Len was going to verify the hawks. Verify, as in provide proof, which means...
He would've had a camera!
Which we didn't find. And if he was taking pictures...
We should be able to figure out what he was up to!
