Castle, P.I. (2015)

Arye Gross: M.E. Sidney Perlmutter

Quotes 

• Kevin Ryan : Victim is Shana Baker. According to her pay stub, she worked at Eastbourne Preschool. Point of entry is a window in her bedroom. Somebody broke the glass.

  Kate Beckett : She would've heard that, and based on her body position, it doesn't look like she was trying to run away.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : No, she wasn't. No signs of defensive wounds or struggle. Just a single gunshot to the chest.

  Kate Beckett : Which means our killer was in here when she came home.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : How a woman so astute could *choose* to marry Castle.

  Kevin Ryan : Ah, come on, Perlmutter, admit it. You miss him, too.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Please. Just knowing he's not gonna be here makes coming to work sheer bliss.

  [laughs] 

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : All things considered.

• [finding Castle in the morgue] 

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : What are you... You're looking at my victim's chart!

  Richard Castle : Well, I'm just making sure you filled it out properly. And may I say, for a man, you have exquisite handwriting.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Oh. Give it back!

  [Perlmutter chases him around the table] 

  Richard Castle : Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look, look, look... You could make this a lot easier on me, Perlmutter.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Oh, because that's what I live for.

  [Perlmutter chases him around the table again] 

  Richard Castle : I just believe that your victim traveled somewhere before she died. Is there anything in the autopsy that indicates where?

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : I-I would rather switch places with her than tell you. Now, now give me that!

  [Perlmutter chases him around the table a third time] 

  Richard Castle : Hey...

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : I am warning you, Castle...

  Richard Castle : Here it is.

  [reading] 

  Richard Castle : "Stomach contents. Two ounces of peanuts, partially digested pretzels, blood contains trace amounts of over-the-counter sedative." She was on a plane. She flew somewhere. Thanks for your help.

  [leaves quickly] 

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : This isn't over!

  [answers phone] 

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : What?

  Kate Beckett : It's Beckett. We're trying to explain some anomalies in our victim's financial records. Are there any signs that she traveled recently?

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Well, as a matter of fact I was just discussing that with the *writer* you married!
