Alfred Candela: Why would you do this? Why would you put us through that? I mean, for godsake, why not just divorce me?
Theresa Candela: Oh, so that you can sue me for alimony? So that you can get half of everything? So that you can get custody of Angela because I'm at work all day and you can "be there for her"? No. I've seen what happens to the guys at work, what happened to Doug Ellers. No way was that gonna happen to me.
Richard Castle: You were paying the ransom to yourself.
Theresa Candela: Once Angela returned, I would file for the papers. There would be nothing left for him to take.
Kate Beckett: And if Angela was kidnapped when Alfred was taking care of her, then...
Theresa Candela: The lawyer said that if I could prove him negligent, I would get custody. I wouldn't have to move out of the apartment that I paid for so that he could live here with my daughter. Do you know how hard it was to adopt her? How much it cost? Ten years! [to Alfred] How many paintings have you sold, Alfred? Huh? How many?
Alfred Candela: How could you hate me so much?
Theresa Candela: You made it easy.
