Quotes

Javier Esposito : Bro, what are you doing? You know I got dibs on Beckett's desk.
Kevin Ryan : I will play you Knife, Gun, Kevlar for it.
Javier Esposito : Let's do this.
[they punch their palms like one does during Rock, Paper, Scissors]
Kevin Ryan : Knife.
Javier Esposito : Gun. You fool, you brought a knife to a gun fight? Blam.
Kevin Ryan : Two out of three.
Javier Esposito : No way. Kick rocks.
-
Richard Castle : How's the new boss lady treating you?
Javier Esposito : She's ignoring me.
Kevin Ryan : Just like every other woman in his life.
Javier Esposito : Shut up.
-
Richard Castle : All right, let's think. Beckett gets a call from a mystery man. Can we trace the phone?
Javier Esposito : Already checked. Call came from a burner phone.
Richard Castle : Oh, damn it. All right. She must have met this guy at the theater. Clearly they were ambushed. Beckett gets shot. But she manages to take three of them out, and then she and the man escape.
Javier Esposito : But she didn't call for backup.
Kevin Ryan : Yeah. Why wouldn't she reach out to us?
Richard Castle : Guys, the woman just sewed herself up with a needle and thread. Clearly something's going on, and she's afraid to contact anyone.
Kevin Ryan : But what? I me... I mean, what could it be that would cause her to react like this?
Richard Castle : Whatever it is, it has to do with this man. We find the man, we find Beckett.
-
Richard Castle : Beckett got a call from some guy this morning.
Kevin Ryan : Do you know who she was talking to?
Richard Castle : She said it was a telemarketer. What is she doing? What the hell is going on?
-
Kevin Ryan : Storage locker was rented with a stolen ID. Who do we know who's been chasing those?
Javier Esposito : Hayley Shipton.
Kevin Ryan : She must have a list of all stolen IDs in that bundle. Used it to track our shooters here.
Javier Esposito : And to convince Castle to run with her instead of us.
Kevin Ryan : What the hell's he thinking?
Javier Esposito : He's not. He's reacting, trying whatever he can to find Beckett.
Kevin Ryan : It's gonna get him killed.
-
Alexis Castle : Dad's missing! We have to find him!
Javier Esposito : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. What are you... what are you talking about?
Alexis Castle : I've been tracking his cell phone on the sly. That way, if he ever disappeared again, I'd know. And an hour ago, his phone suddenly went dead.
Kevin Ryan : Okay, maybe the battery just died.
Alexis Castle : No. Not with where he went.
Kevin Ryan : And where's that?
Alexis Castle : Winterkill Correctional. I tracked Beckett there earlier.
Javier Esposito : Winterkill. That's where Bracken is.
Alexis Castle : He's connected to this somehow. That's why dad went to see him.
-
Javier Esposito : We got a positive ID on the guy running with Beckett.
Richard Castle : Great. Who is he?
Kevin Ryan : His name is Vikram Singh. He's a low-level analyst for the Attorney General's investigative office.
Alexis Castle : In D.C.? That's where Beckett worked.
Richard Castle : Yeah, but that was two years ago, and she never mentioned anyone named Vikram.
Javier Esposito : Yeah, as far as we can tell, their paths never crossed. He's only been on the job a few months.
Richard Castle : Then how would Beckett know him? We need to call Rachel McCord. She was Beckett's partner.
Kevin Ryan : McCord's dead, Castle. Killed yesterday in an automobile accident, along with three other members of her team.
Richard Castle : That can't be a coincidence.
Javier Esposito : It's not. The last member of her team was stabbed to death at a club that same night. Witnesses saw him flirting with a hot brunette.
Richard Castle : This doesn't make any sense. What does any of this have to do with Bracken?
-
Richard Castle : You know, you told me I had no idea what was going on, and you were right. But now I've got the edge of it, and I'm gonna keep on peeling it back until I know everything, with or without your help.
Kevin Ryan : I'll recommend the "with". It comes with less prison time.
Assassin : Prison's a picnic compared to what happens to me if I talk. You need to make peace with the fact that your wife isn't long for this world.
Richard Castle : Don't be so sure. Your team started out with five. Three of you are dead, and you're sitting right here. That leaves one: your boss. And Beckett against one guy? I like those odds.
Assassin : What makes you think there's only one team in play?
-
Kevin Ryan : Javi, we're pathetic.
Javier Esposito : No, you're pathetic. You're the one who got the crappy desk.
Kevin Ryan : No, look, I mean here we are moving desks. Everyone else is moving up. Gates, she's the new deputy chief; Beckett, she's the new captain.
Javier Esposito : So?
Kevin Ryan : So when's it gonna be our turn? Get promoted, make more money.
Javier Esposito : Bro, where's this coming from?
Kevin Ryan : Jenny's pregnant again. Found out last night.
Javier Esposito : Oh, wow. That's great. Congratulations.
[seeing Ryan's expression]
Javier Esposito : That is great, right?
Kevin Ryan : Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's wonderful. But it's also another mouth to feed, another body to clothe. And don't get me started on college tuition.
Javier Esposito : Kevin, can't you just for one second celebrate before you start stressing about money again? Sometimes it's good to just...
Kevin Ryan : [his phone chirps] Yes! We caught ourselves a homicide. Fingers crossed for overtime pay.
Javier Esposito : Bro, there's something wrong with you.
-
Hayley Shipton : I don't know anything. The last time I saw Castle was outside the prison.
Javier Esposito : You'd think an ex-cop would understand obstruction of justice.
Kevin Ryan : Yeah, especially since arresting her for it will torpedo her investigator's license.
Hayley Shipton : You're not scaring me, guys.
Javier Esposito : You think we're playing? Castle's one of us, which means you'd better come clean right now, or every cop in this city is gonna make it their mission to jam you up,
Hayley Shipton : I understand the passion, but I have a reputation to uphold. My clients think that I roll over every time a cop says "Boo", I'm looking for a new line of work.
Alexis Castle : [entering in a fit of anger] Damn it, my dad's in trouble. If you know anything about where he is, you have to tell us!
Hayley Shipton : Alexis... it's not that simple.
Alexis Castle : Yes, it is.
-
Javier Esposito : My partner and I really enjoyed reading your file.
Hayley Shipton : Aw, sweetie, I'm so much more than words on paper.
Kevin Ryan : Born and raised in East London, over in the borough of Hackney.
Javier Esposito : Rough area. Don't they have a street nicknamed the murder mile?
Hayley Shipton : Well, yes, but it's not without its charms.
Kevin Ryan : Just like you. Love your accent, by the way. Very posh. Where'd you learn to speak like that?
Javier Esposito : Not from the slum she grew up in, and definitely not from your mom, who's at the tail end of a twenty-year prison bid.
Kevin Ryan : Ah. Not wanting to follow in mum's footsteps, you joined the Metropolitan Police Service.
Javier Esposito : And that was an epic fail.
Kevin Ryan : Yeah, they booted you out because of your tendency to cut legal corners.
Hayley Shipton : Allegedly.
Kevin Ryan : You hung a dealer out of a window in order to get a confession?
Hayley Shipton : Did I hang him out the window, or did I save him from falling out said window? It's hard to tell. It's even harder to prove.
Kevin Ryan : Well, lucky for us we don't have to prove that you were hiding in that apartment.
Hayley Shipton : Hiding? No. Lost. I was looking for a Starbucks, actually. Usually they're so easy to find.
