TV show quotes
[on the phone] No, I'm having breakfast with the judge
Hi, Mr. Vance, I'm detective Ryan...
[still on the phone] No, he's a friend of a friend. [Chuckling] Yeah...
[Taking the phone out of the hands of Mr. Vance] He's gonna need to call you back.
You ordered Aron Stokes in for questioning? Are you serious?
You told us to build our case, and Mr. Stokes is where it went.
This is a very powerful man who happens to be golfing-buddies with the police Commissioner.
So because he has a standing tee time with your boss, he gets away with murder?
I'm handling the interview
What? No, sir, this is our case...
Yes, and it will be your jobs if there's any blowback. I am not gonna have you two risk your careers.
Captain, I don't have a career to risk. How about I back you up in there?
Okay...
Captain, I too have no career to risk, why don't I ... [Gates sharply looks at him with her arms akimbo] maybe I should ... you know, I'm gonna do is I'm gonna stay here, I think you guys got this handled...
[Glossing over his bulletproof vest] Wow. And to think you boys mocked me when I had this made four years ago. I think I'll have it framed.
Hey, what does it say about your writing when your number one fan tries to kill you?
That was an accident.
Been one inch high, it would've been a tragedy.
But on the bright side, your autographed copies of Deadly Heat would be worth way more.
[Ryan snaps his fingers as Beckett walks in]
Not funny, Castle.
Little bit funny.
Listen, I'm kinda looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you so...don't do anything stupid in there, okay?
Don't worry. I think I already hit my stupid quota for the day
No cheeseburgers. I repeat, no cheeseburgers. [hangs up and sees everyone staring] Cutting down on red meat.
Girl, what are you doing here?
Uh, Captain Gates said that I could come.
That's not what I meant. Shouldn't you be off looking at wedding venues or something?
No, we haven't even set a date. We're just trying to enjoy our engagement. Why is everyone trying to rush us?
You think you're being rushed now, wait until after the wedding. About ten minutes from the altar, they'll all be like "When are you two having a baby?"
Well your wife's home alone because she's pregnant. What's your excuse?
What happening?
Lot of weirdos out there with too much imagination is what happened. And yes, I'm looking at you, Castle.
Yeah, except I only commit my murders on paper. Don't actually do them. A lot more lucrative, a lot less prison.
Hey, caught a break on that stalker. Couple of nights ago, Shauna filed a harassment complaint. Apparently, three days ago, a guy confronted Shauna on her way home from work. Said the lives of half the people on the planet were at stake.
Whatever crazy theory I could've come up with, this is better.
12-58, what do you think that means?
Time, address, Bible verse?
Please listen to me, don't do this. Please. You have to let me go. If you don't, a billion people will die!
Yeah? How are they gonna die?
I don't know. I only know that they do.
Yeah? And how's that?
Because...I'm from the future.
[Whispering] This just became my favorite case.
Look, after the bloody energy wars of 2031, funneling
Energy wars!
Yeah, you know fascists control the power, trying to control the world's energy supply for a select few - don't worry, we defeat them - turns out, that one of these new sources of power is a tachyon generator as it opens doors in time-stream continuum, allowing us to travel back in time! But of course because of the possibilty of abuse, it was technically regulated against, secret from the public...
We have a witness that saw you leaving Shauna Taylor's apartment shortly after she was killed...
I'm getting to that - look, I'm a temporal anthropologist. What we do is travel back in time and we study culturally significant eras - ancient Egypt, middle ages, man I've been to Nazi Germany!
Aren't you worried about the Butterfly Effect, a slightly change in something in the past thus altering the future?
No, we're careful. The timestream is mostly self-correcting, you know? Any small changes like a little ripple [...] [snipping his fingers] doesn't matter, but if someone wants do do something big, if someonebody wants to do something massive, then yes, of course, you're damn right you can change the future! And by the way, that's exactly what just happened!
[agitated] Whatever chain of events has just started now will result in billions of deaths that did not otherwise occur, you understand me?
[on the phone] This is Detective Beckett, got a suspect at large, I'm gonna need patrol sweeps of the area along with a full CSU team at the scene.
Real trauma, that one - can't believe you married her...
How did you know I marry her?
One of your book jackets: you know, "Richard Castle lives in New York with his wife Senator Beckett and three children"
Senator...
[turns around astounded] Three kids?!?
Who the hell is Paul Deschile?
He's a 21-year old at Hudson getting his post-doc in theoretical physics
Alright, get him into protective custody!
He's on leave this semester, the university has no idea where he is, so in turn look for his parents...
[agitated] Detective, it's him! Deschile!
You know him?
[still agitated] Of course I know him, everyone knows him! Oh man, if he's killed...
Yah, OK, I'll call you back - Doyle, sit down!
No wonder billions of people die...
Hey, who the hell is Paul Deschile?
[getting really agitated] The energy wars I told you about! The other side, a group of fascists, they were worse than the Nazis, the..they were slaughtering people by the ten-thousands, Okay? They were winning, until Deschile! He and his team they, they created an energy shield which was able to stop their weapons and completely turn the tide! Detective, listen to me! Ward is still obviously fighting for the fascists! They're trying to win the war by re-writing history! If he kills Deschile, there will be no energy shield, and without that energy shield, we lose that war! Ward's gonna kill Deschile, and that is why billions of people die!
OK, we don't have time for this - take him to holding, please...
So the FBI doesn't have any murder in their database that match this M.O.
Which leaves us with my theory. Our victim was dabbling with black magic, and she conjured up a demon.
Or, maybe, she ran afoul of some obscure religious sect and they sacrificed her to their pagan deity.
What are you doing?
Making stuff up, just like you do.
Yeah, because that's my job. It's your job to follow the evidence. You're messing with the natural order of things.
