Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : Hey, who the hell keeps texting?

  Milo Pavlik : It's a news alert. There's a three-alarm fire going in Brooklyn.

  Richard Castle : Where in Brooklyn?

  Milo Pavlik : Uh... some factory on Arcadia Lane.

  [Beckett and Castle exchange alarmed glances, realizing Ryan and Esposito are at that factory following a lead] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, no.

• Richard Castle : Crime scene at a fire? Never done one of these before.

• Kevin Ryan : Can you believe it? Me as a dad?

  Kate Beckett : No, Ryan, you're gonna be great.

  Richard Castle : You guys pick a name?

  Kevin Ryan : No, we couldn't agree on one, so we're waiting to see if it's a boy or girl and then decide.

  Richard Castle : May I suggest... "Cosmo"?

  Kevin Ryan : No, you may not. And rather than pick a name for my kid, you should pick a date for your wedding.

  Richard Castle : Pick a date for my wedding? I was planning on bringing her.

  Kate Beckett : Really? When is that? I might have plans.

• Kate Beckett : So, I talked to Blake McCann's co-workers, his ex-wife. And if he's got any enemies, I am not finding them.

  Richard Castle : Leaving us with the Phantom.

  Kate Beckett : Can you please not call him that? It just- it sounds silly.

  Richard Castle : Sillier than the Arsonist, which starts with "arse"? At least with the Phantom, he's got some mystique.

  Kate Beckett : He doesn't deserve mystique. He's a murderer.

• Kevin Ryan : This is Lieutenant Delia Burton. She's a fire investigator with FDNY. Detective Beckett, Mr. Castle.

  Kate Beckett : Nice to meet you. So this was arson?

  Lt. Delia Burton : Well, it's looking that way. I found miniscule traces of accelerant at the flashpoint.

  Richard Castle : So the killer set the fire to cover up the murder?

  Lt. Delia Burton : Except there's no accelerant on the body, and the fire's flashpoint is deep in the building. You know, normally when you're disposing of a body, you're gonna make sure it burns.

  Kate Beckett : So maybe our victim surprised the arsonist.

  Richard Castle : And the arsonist killed him, silencing him as a witness?

  Lt. Delia Burton : That's how it looks to me. Then again, homicide's not my specialty.

  Kate Beckett : No. Uh, but fire is. Would you mind keeping me in the loop in case you find anything else?

  Lt. Delia Burton : Sure. As soon as I know what happened, so will you.

  [the building creaks] 

  Richard Castle : Whoa. What was that?

  Lt. Delia Burton : The building. You guys should probably go.

  Richard Castle : [turning and hurrying away]  Sounds good. See ya!

  Kate Beckett : [embarrassed]  I'm marrying him.

• Kate Beckett : So I checked the security cameras near the fire. They were disabled.

  Richard Castle : Disabled how?

  Kate Beckett : Someone used a can of spray paint, mounted it on a pole and blacked out the lenses of both cameras just minutes before the fire.

  Richard Castle : Well, that must have been the arsonist. Maybe somebody saw them do it. Can we canvass the area? And by "we" I mean, obviously, somebody else.

• Tory Ellis : Usually, there's a file embedded in the video with data on the camera. But it's been stripped out.

  Richard Castle : Can you tell where it was first uploaded?

  Tory Ellis : [typing]  Let me see... Looks like the video got bounced around the Net from site to site. But this is where it started.

  [Ellis brings up a web paged called Pyrolicious.com] 

  Kate Beckett : "Pyrolicious.com." Really?

  Tory Ellis : Wow. Okay. A site that caters to fire fetishists.

  Kate Beckett : I didn't even know there was a fire fetish.

  Richard Castle : The actual term is "pyrophilia." Further proof that the Internet has something for everyone.

  Kate Beckett : [whispers]  I'm not gonna ask how you knew that.

• Lanie Parish : Still no ID and he's not in any missing persons report.

  Kate Beckett : We get a match on the bullet?

  Lanie Parish : It's not in the system. But the cause of death was definitely a GSW to the head. No smoke in the lungs, so he was already dead before the fire got going.

  Richard Castle : Well, beats getting roasted alive.

• Kate Beckett : The two folders in McCann's car. He knew that this building was next. How?

  Richard Castle : Somehow, he must have figured out the arsonist's pattern.

  Kate Beckett : Which means there is a pattern. And if he figured it out, so can we.
