Nathan Fillion: Richard Castle

Quotes 

• Lanie Parish : Castle, so happy you and Beckett are back together. Now do us all a favor and don't mess things up with her again.

  Richard Castle : Why do you assume it's my fault?

  Lanie Parish : Everything's your fault.

• [having had a romantic moment with Castle interrupted] 

  Kate Beckett : What just happened?

  Richard Castle : Well, I've integrated Lucy into all the loft's infrastructure. Climate, lights, music. You name it, she controls it. Just got to work out a few... kinks.

  Kate Beckett : Well, I still like a few things the old-fashioned way. So, do you want me to make you a cup of coffee?

  Lucy : [coffee machine starts]  Uh, no need, Kate. I've programmed Rick's coffee exactly to his liking. Cuban blend, steamed milk, two sugars, pinch of nutmeg.

  Richard Castle : Amazing, huh?

  Kate Beckett : Hmm.

  Lucy : No, Rick, you're amazing.

  Richard Castle : No, you are.

  Lucy : No, you are.

  Richard Castle : No, Lucy. You are.

  Lucy : Rick, you're amazing and you know it.

  Kate Beckett : [answers phone]  Beckett.

  Richard Castle : [to Lucy]  Stop it! I'm not doing this with you again.

• Javier Esposito : It was, like, ten years ago.

  Kate Beckett : So, when you worked with the 54th?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah. I collared a thief. Name was, uh, Sonia Ruiz. She was part of a crew that stole $10 million worth of gold coins from some auction house.

  Richard Castle : And they used a fragrant gel, too?

  Javier Esposito : It was actually a unique blend of Jell-O and ladies' perfume.

  Richard Castle : You're saying a kid's dessert mixed with eau de toilette can foil a sophisticated security system?

  [to Beckett] 

  Richard Castle : I'm telling you. We need a dog.

• Javier Esposito : The Department of Corrections authorized her furlough?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah. Right now, Sonia is our best and only path to Hammerhead's real identity.

  Kevin Ryan : So what's the plan?

  Kate Beckett : You and Espo are gonna head over to the...

  [notices Espo is uncomfortable] 

  Kate Beckett : Excuse me, what's going on? What are you not telling me?

  Javier Esposito : [laughing]  So... uh, funny story. Really. Uh, it's, uh... Sonia and I, we, uh, were kind of involved.

  Richard Castle : Involved, like dating?

  Javier Esposito : Dating? No. Come on, not dating. We were- we were more like engaged.

• [a balloon pops] 

  Richard Castle : That wasn't me.

  Kate Beckett : [laughing]  Says the guy with the razor-sharp French toast and a sausage kabob.

  Richard Castle : Okay, that *was* me. But that balloon had it coming. To you, my love, my heart, my bride. Welcome back to our home.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, that is so sweet, Castle. But how is this really a welcome back if I've been sneaking into your room almost every night?

  Richard Castle : Well, because you've officially moved all your stuff back in. Now that we've agreed to hunt LokSat together, we can simply pick up exactly where we left off.

  [leans in for a kiss] 

  Kate Beckett : And as I recall, we left off this morning somewhere right about here.

• Kate Beckett : We have a homicide.

  Richard Castle : You, me, in a crime scene. Just as nature intended.

• [at the crime scene, Castle starts sniffing] 

  Lanie Parish : What, are your allergies acting up?

  Richard Castle : What is this, gelatin? It smells like ladies' perfume.

  [leans closer] 

  Richard Castle : What is that scent? Is that White Diamonds? No. Chanel No. 5.

  [wafts the odor to get a better smell] 

  Richard Castle : Ah! One Direction body spray. Nailed it.

  [he holds up his hand for a high five; Esposito glances up at the killer's point of entry instead, and Castle high-fives himself] 

• Kate Beckett : Espo, why don't we pay Sonia Ruiz a little visit? She might not have turned on her crew back in the day, but after nine years' hard time, we might be able to persuade her.

  Javier Esposito : You know what? From what I remember, she may be the type to hold a grudge, so... you might have better luck taking Castle with you.

  Richard Castle : Ooh!

  [chuckles] 

  Richard Castle : Not falling for that trick again. Contrary to what you three led me to believe, those women's prisons are nothing like the late-night Skinemax movies. So, have fun.

• Kevin Ryan : Engaged? You were... Wait a second. All these years, you never told me that?

  Javier Esposito : You never asked.

  Kevin Ryan : You're a cop. How could you get involved with a criminal?

  Richard Castle : Well, technically, they were in the same line of work, so, really, it's a workplace romance.

  Javier Esposito : Thank you. I didn't know she was a crook at first, okay? I- I met her at a club. She seemed normal. And we just... We just clicked. And it's probably why she hid who she really was from me.

  Kate Beckett : A- And when did you find out the truth?

  Javier Esposito : After it was too late! We were engaged. And then she started acting strange. Disappearing at odd hours. And then she couldn't look me in the eye. And then news of that gold-coin heist broke and I... I don't know. I knew. And I was the one who arrested her.

  Richard Castle : So, did you ask for the ring back or did you let her keep that so she could trade it for cigarettes in the prison yard?

  [seeing Espo's expression] 

  Richard Castle : That's... Don't answer that.

• Javier Esposito : Why are you benching me?

  [sees Beckett's expression] 

  Javier Esposito : Okay, I get it. But there's no need. Any feelings I had for her died the moment I slapped those cuffs on. Trust me, I am over her completely.

  [Sonia enters, dressed in a sexy outfit, and Espo is dumbstruck] 

  Sonia Ruiz : Javier?

  [she's led into another room by a patrol officer] 

  Kevin Ryan : You sure you're over her?

  Richard Castle : You might wanna tell your mouth.

  [closes Esposito's lips] 

  Richard Castle : Close that up.

• Javier Esposito : All right. Listen up, Sonia. You do what I say, when I say it, understand?

  Sonia Ruiz : Nice to see you, too, sweetie.

  [speaks Spanish] 

  Javier Esposito : This is not- This is not a joke, okay? When I say "jump", you say...

  Sonia Ruiz : That you're out of your damn mind if you think I'm jumping in these heels, okay? Speaking of, I need new clothes. 'Cause this outfit is damn near ten years old... and I got a rep to protect. So I need labels.

  Javier Esposito : Fine, whatever. Let's just hurry up and get this over with.

  Sonia Ruiz : Didn't I used to say that to you whenever you got frisky at night?

  [Castle's face lights up, but Ryan slaps his hand over his mouth before he can say anything] 

  Javier Esposito : Let's go.

  [as they leave, Ryan removes his hand] 

  Richard Castle : This is gonna be so much fun.

• Kevin Ryan : I still can't believe Javi was engaged to that woman.

  Richard Castle : Well, I can. I mean, you see the electricity between those two? It crackles.

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, it might be a problem. We need to keep an eye on her.

  Richard Castle : Well, actually, I think we can do more than that. There's a listening device built into Sonia's ankle monitor.

  Kevin Ryan : A hidden mic?

  Richard Castle : Yeah. All we have to do is enter the security number into the app, we can hear everything they're saying.

  Kevin Ryan : But they wouldn't know we were listening. That would be an invasion of their privacy.

  Richard Castle : You got a problem with that?

  Kevin Ryan : No! No.

• [Castle and Ryan hear tapping over a hidden microphone as Espostio questions someone] 

  Kevin Ryan : Wait, does that sound like...

  Richard Castle : He sounds like he's playing Five Finger Fillet with the bartender. It certainly does.

  Kevin Ryan , Richard Castle : Don't tell Beckett.

• Kevin Ryan : Let me see your hands!

  Sonia Ruiz : What? What, you think I was trying to escape? I see a gun and I run. I was trying to get to a phone to call 911.

  Kevin Ryan : Not buying it, sweetheart.

  Sonia Ruiz : Irish, I got three months left on my sentence, okay? I've already served nine long years. I run right now, they add another two, how dumb do you think I am?

  Javier Esposito : Don't answer that. It's a trap, trust me.

  Richard Castle : Do you think she's telling the truth?

  Javier Esposito : I don't know. It's not like she hasn't lied to me before.

• Richard Castle : If Sonia and her partner wanted to kill Esposito, they would have done it here. No... They must need him for something.

  Kevin Ryan : The question is, why was Sonia so desperate to see her father before he died? According to Espo, they weren't even that close.

  Richard Castle : Maybe he has something she wanted.

  [spotting something under a chair] 

  Richard Castle : And I think I know what it is.

  [picking the object up, he shows it to Beckett and Ryan] 

  Kate Beckett : Gold. He was holding her cut of the heist from nine years ago.

  Kevin Ryan : Sonia didn't want the secret of the gold's location to die with her father.

  Richard Castle : They took Esposito for insurance, in case we tried to stop them.

  Kate Beckett : Which means, we find Pena's coin stash, we'll find Espo.

  Kevin Ryan : Problem is, we don't know the first thing about this guy.

  Kate Beckett : Well, time for a crash course. Let's tear this place apart.

• Kate Beckett : Sonia's dad owned at least a half a dozen businesses. Dry cleaners, car wash, a Cuban restaurant.

  Richard Castle : All high cash flow. Makes sense if he was selling off his gold bit by bit, he'd need a place to launder the money.

  Kate Beckett : Well, according to the companies' bank records, the weekly receipts were pretty uniform.

  Richard Castle : Except, look at this, the dry cleaners. About three months ago, there was a spike in the weekly deposit amount. And three months before that, and before that.

  Kate Beckett : Same with the restaurant.

  Richard Castle : So, he was retrieving some of the gold every three months, selling it off, and then running the proceeds through his businesses.

  Kate Beckett : Hey, Ryan, where is Vikram with the GPS info from Pena's phone?

  Kevin Ryan : He just sent this over. Pena stayed close to home most of the time. Except for this location.

  [shows screen] 

  Kevin Ryan : Looks to be an outlier. He wouldn't go there often. Only once every...

  Richard Castle : Every three months?

  Kevin Ryan : Exactly. And only at night.

  Kate Beckett : And what's there?

  Richard Castle : It's a, uh... It's an old Con Ed storage facility. Perfect place for stashing coins.

  Kate Beckett : Pena owned a transport company that subcontracts with Con Ed.

  Richard Castle : Then that's it. That's where he is.

  Kate Beckett : Let's go. Once they find the gold, they're gonna make a run for it.

  Richard Castle : After they kill Espo.

• Richard Castle : Home at last. And with all the makings of a perfect evening. Thai food, a bottle of pinot, and my two favorite ladies.

  Kate Beckett : Wait. Two? Is that a joke about my boobs?

  Richard Castle : I'm referring, of course, to you and Lucy.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, right. Lucy.

  Richard Castle : Oh, come on, don't be mad, I'm kidding. Is... Is it too late to say it's about your boobs?

• Kate Beckett : The truth is, is that I overreacted the other day. I have a feeling that Lucy and I are gonna be on much better terms from here on out.

  Richard Castle : And I am glad to hear it. You hear that, Lucy? I knew you'd win her over. Now why don't you dim the lights for us just a little bit?

  [the lights dim] 

  Linus : How's that, Rick? Are the lights not to your satisfaction?

  Richard Castle : No, they're fine, it's just, uh... Who are you and... where's Lucy?

  Linus : My name's Linus. And I'm starting to think you don't like me.

  [behind Castle, Beckett tries not to laugh; as he turns to look at her, she straightens her face] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, okay. Very funny. What did you do?

  Kate Beckett : I- I read the user's manual. And apparently, with the simple flick of a switch, she can become a he.

• [last lines] 

  Richard Castle : You killed Lucy?

  Kate Beckett : No. I didn't *kill* her. I mean, she's still in there. Why? You want her back?

  Richard Castle : No. Of course not. No. No. Linus it is.

  Kate Beckett : All right. Good. Well, I'm gonna go change. So, why don't you guys become acquainted?

  Richard Castle : All right.

  [Beckett leaves] 

  Richard Castle : Okay, Linus, let's get this bromance started. How about you make me a little cappuccino?

  Linus : It's a little late for caffeine, Rick. How about some relaxing yoga stretches before bed?

  Richard Castle : And experiment's over. Where's that switch?

  [looking for the switch, Castle gets an electric shock] 

  Richard Castle : Ow! Linus, you gave me a little shock. I think you must have a short or something.

  Linus : I don't like to be touched, Rick. Not by you, anyway.

  [the electricity powers down] 

  Richard Castle : [whispering]  Beckett.

  [shouts] 

  Richard Castle : Beckett!
