Javier Esposito
- Javier Esposito: [at her desk, Beckett absent-mindedly stares at Castle's chair] If you ask me, you should have locked him up just out of spite.
- Kate Beckett: No, that would be unethical. Making the people down in Holding deal with him?
- Javier Esposito: True.
- [at his desk, Ryan is trying to balance an egg on its tip; as Beckett walks by, it falls on the floor and breaks]
- Kate Beckett: Are you guys re-enacting the Humpty Dumpty crime scene?
- Kevin Ryan: It's the autumnal equinox today.
- Javier Esposito: Yeah, and according to Mr. Wizard there, it's the only time of year you can balance an egg on its tip.
- Kate Beckett: Don't you guys have work to do?
- Javier Esposito: Nah.
- Kate Beckett: No, not really.
- Kate Beckett: Hmm. Well, now you do.
- [tosses a folder onto Ryan's desk, points to the egg mess, then heads to her own desk]
- Kate Beckett: By the way, that whole thing with the egg is just urban legend.
- Kevin Ryan: Not true. I saw Castle do it last year.
- [after an awkward pause, Esposito gets up and slaps his head]
- Javier Esposito: [quietly] What's wrong with you?
- Javier Esposito: [about Castle] Still no word from him?
- Kate Beckett: No.
- Kevin Ryan: Maybe you should call him.
- Kate Beckett: He said that he would be back in the fall. And it's fall. So, clearly, he has better things to do.
- Kevin Ryan: [at the crime scene outside a bookstore] Hey, it's Castle!
- [seeing Castle approaching, they realize it's just the store owner carrying a cardboard cutout of Castle holding "Naked Heat"]
- Kevin Ryan: I guess he did finish that book.
- Lanie Parish: [sarcastic] Nice of him to send us a copy.
- [the store owner puts a cardboard poster of Castle up in the window reading "Meet the author this Friday at 7 PM"]
- Kevin Ryan: Looks like he's back in town.
- Javier Esposito: [also sarcastic] Nice of him to call.
- Kate Beckett: All right, guys, you can stop pining for your girlfriend. After all, we got a body full of holes.
- [first lines]
- [an out of breath Castle standing in a room of mirrors hears Ryan and Esposito off screen]
- Kevin Ryan: Where'd he go?
- Javier Esposito: I lost him.
- Kevin Ryan: Come on.
- Javier Esposito: Do you see him.
