Vulcan Simmons
- Vulcan Simmons: You painted since the last time I was here. You'd have been about sixteen. Wrestling some pimply kid in the back of his daddy's wagon, wondering if you were gonna give it to him or not.
- Richard Castle: Hey, that's enough.
- Vulcan Simmons: He's sweet on you. Makes him brave.
- Kate Beckett: What was your association with Detective John Raglan?
- Vulcan Simmons: Raglan. Raglan, Raglan, Raglan. Thirsty cop, right? Couldn't pick a winner to save his life. Well, Detective, our association, as you put it, exceeded the statute of limitations many moons ago.
- Kate Beckett: There's no statute of limitations on murder, Mr. Simmons.
- Vulcan Simmons: And here begins what is known as the initial confrontation. During this phase of the interrogation, the interrogator may invade the suspect's personal space in order to increase his discomfort.
- [to Castle]
- Vulcan Simmons: You want to invade my personal space?
- Kate Beckett: Look... at... me... Twelve years ago, Johanna Beckett led a big Take Back The Neighborhood campaign in Washington Heights.
- Richard Castle: And that must have pissed you off.
- Kate Beckett: Johanna Beckett was murdered, along with two of her colleagues .They were professional hits carried out on your orders. And you had your pet homicide detective, John Raglan, *bury* them.
- [showing Simmons a crime scene photo of her mother]
- Kate Beckett: Look at her face. Tell me you don't remember her.
- Vulcan Simmons: You know, Detective Beckett, I think I do remember her. Bled out in an alley like the trash she was.
- Kate Beckett: [whispering] Mr. Simmons, you'd better watch it.
- Vulcan Simmons: Rich bitch from uptown on safari in the Heights... Somebody should have warned her not to feed or tease the animals.
- Kate Beckett: [whispering] You...
- Vulcan Simmons: If they had, she might not have gotten eaten.
- [stands up]
- Vulcan Simmons: From what I hear, though, she was pretty tasty.
- [in a rage, Beckett grabs Simmons and pushes him up against the one-way mirror]
- Richard Castle: Whoa, Beckett!
- Kate Beckett: Back off, Castle!
- [to Simmons]
- Kate Beckett: Remember your old life, Vulcan. *Savor* it. Because I am gonna take it all away.
