TV show quotes
[Talking to the fourth gunman over the phone as the bank is being robbed]
Listen to me. So far, nobody has been hurt and nothing has been stolen. So if you just leave the same way that you came in, you can just disappear.
You gonna promise not to come look for me?
I don’t look. I hunt. And trust me, you don’t want that.
I don’t get it. This is a little, old, retired librarian. What could possibly be in her safe-deposit box that would be worth doing all this?
Nazi gold, cold fusion, map to Atlantis.
Hey, Castle Jr., could you maybe start thinking like a cop, please?
Even as a hostage, I help you solve murders. Beckett, I think… I think you have the perfect partner.
[chuckles] Yeah, except he doesn’t like doing paperwork.
Touche.
[Beckett talking to the robbers]
Listen to me, jackass. I do not control traffic, so you're gonna have to give me 20 minutes.
Now you got one minute, Kate.
No. I've got 20. Do you hear me? 20. Because if you pull that trigger, I will walk through those doors and personally put a bullet through your skull.
Okay, Kate. You got 20 more minutes.
Well, that's one way to negotiate.
The last time I saw you in your PJs after eight am, I think you were four.
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?
Did I do the right thing, breaking up with him?
Oh, sweetie, I don't know. That's something only you can answer.
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.
Hey, she totally gets it. And so does Jane Austen.
Do you keep former guests in the system?
That's how we flag gamblers with priors.
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.
(Laughing.) That was a good fun night.
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.
Dad, the ‘80s just called. It wants its plan back.
You know, the man owned a casino. A guy like that, you’d think he’d have a driver.
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.
He didn’t even pull it out of the glove box. If he did, we’d be standing over the other guy.
Yeah well, you got to know when to hold them. And, when to fold them.
Know when to walk away. Know when the run.
[giving Esposito an irritated glance] Detective Esposito, a little respect, please. I mean, there is a dead body here.
What’d I do?
[Lanie rises up and walks away]
You broke up with her.
We broke up with each other. That’s different.
Yeah, you would think it would be different. But, no.
Did you see that? He [Ryan] just sidestepped me. What’s that about?
It’s almost as though the thought of marriage fills him with an impending sense of doom. [Laughs] No, no, wait, that’s me.
[After Castle catches the elevator]
What are you doing?
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?
You do realize we’re going there to investigate a murder, don’t you?
[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.
Hey.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Just waiting for my partner. Maybe you've seen her. Pretty girl, thinks she can leap tall buildings in a single bound, carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, yet, still manages to laugh at some of my jokes.
She sounds like a handful.
Tell me about it. Anyway, if you do see her, tell her she owes me about a hundred coffees.
Castle? Thank you.
For what?
For not pushing, and giving me the space to get through this.
Always.
[Heading to the evidence room] Espo, what are we doing back here?
I want to show you something. [Pulls out a rifle]
What is that?
The rifle that shot you.
You are way out of line.
Just look at it.
[Backs away] What the hell are you doing?
I’ve been where you are, I know what you’re going through.
Javi, I’m fine.
You’re not fine. You’re just trying to act like you are. [Holds up the rifle] This is just a tool. It’s a hunk of steel. It has no magical powers, and the person that fired it is not some all-powerful God. Just a guy with a gun. Just like the guy we’ve hunting now. And like every other bad guy, he’s damaged goods.
[After a moment of silence] So am I.
That’s right. And that’s okay. You think it’s a weakness? Make it a strength. It’s a part of you. [Hands the rifle out to her] So use it.
I told you, it's none of your business.
Of course it's none of my business, that's why I want to know.
Know what?
What she and Esposito were fighting about.
That's none of your business.
That's the point.
Do you know what Lanie and Esposito were fighting about?
Everything. They both want to be together but neither of them wants to admit to it.
Ugh, why do people do that to themselves?
Maybe they just don't see it.
How could they not? It's so obvious.
