Castle quotes

What's your play?

Esposito

Talk to him. Try to get him to see the light. Then disarm him if I get the chance.

I should talk to him. I'm wearing the Kevlar.

Esposito

Yeah, but I've already got a rapport with the guy, so...

A bad rapport. I know what this is. I'm just a transit cop. You gold-shield guys are always acting like you're better than us.

Esposito

We are better than you.

Esposito

You did all right down there. I don't care what they say about transit cops.

Mmm. What they say about gold shields is even worse. Mostly 'cause it's true.

You're not the priest.

Beckett

No, but I can take your confession.

Castle

I was raised by a single mother. Hard Kill was how I got my bro time.

Ryan

That explains so much.

Castle

So Lance reaches out to another ex-agent, and he's killed with a garrote? Mark my words, this case is gonna lead us into a labyrinthian world of deceit, villainy and international espionage. This is better than one of his movies.

Beckett

After what I saw, it'd have to be.

Ryan

You know, maybe that's what I need. A catchphrase. [With a gravel voice] "Time to mete out justice." "Time for prison time."

Esposito

Yeah, you keep working on that, bro.

Ryan

"Time to pay the bill for doing the kill."

Esposito

Okay, on second thought, don't.

Castle

Would it be weird if I asked her to sign this? [Unwraps a poster of her]

Ryan

When? On her way to jail?

Castle

It would mean so much to me.

Ryan

You know what time it is? It's Ryan time.

Esposito

Please just stop.

Ryan

My name's Ryan and I hate lyin'.

Castle

He's a nordic bodybuilder, card-carrying member of Mensa.

Beckett

I don't know, Castle. Maybe I just like the old-school guys, you know? Like Eastwood, Bronson, McQueen...

Beckett

Castle, you really think I could stand between you and your boyhood dream?

Castle

You are my boyhood dream.

Beckett

Awwww!

Castle

Well, you and drinking with the Indestructibles.

Beckett

You don't always have to keep talking.

Castle

Right.

Castle

I'm starring in my own action movie. This is the best night ever!

Beckett

It's just that rhyming isn't exactly my thing.

Castle

This coming from the woman who skipped prom to crash a poetry slam.

Beckett

Spoken word, Castle. That's a totally different jam. I mean, I could write a haiku for you instead.

Castle

No, that's against the rules.

Beckett

Since when do you follow rules?

Castle

Since I'm the one who made them.

Dino Scarpella

She [his daughter] and Eric, they were very close, very close - since they were kids.

Castle

So you're admitting he was your doctor...?

Dino Scarpella

I don't like that word "admit"

Castle

[looking sheepishly] Acknowledging?

Dino Scarpella

I need to find out who did this to him

Castle

Don't take this the wrong way, Dino, but I think you already do know...

Dino Scarpella

It was not Christopher!

Castle

All the evidence says that it was.

Dino Scarpella

He was framed, he's innocent, when it comes to this anyway. I know, because I was with him.

Castle

Dino, if that's true, all you need is to call Beckett. You can alibi him.

Dino Scarpella

Hmm, no, that's no good. See, at the time, me and Christopher, we were, uhm, engaged in a sensitive business transaction....

Castle

...And by "sensitive" you mean "illegal"...

Dino Scarpella

I don't like that word either...

Dino Scarpella

I could crack a joke about making you an offer you can't refuse... But you cannot refuse

Castle

...I do have something special lined up. A surprise, actually, for you.

Beckett

Really? What kind of a surprise?

Castle

Well, now if I told you that, it would be a surprise. But trust me, you're gonna love it.

Beckett

Okay, now, why does that scare me?

Martha

Because you're smart.
