Quotes7

  • Kate Beckett: Anything on the warehouse?
  • Kevin Ryan: Yeah, right after you guys left the feds showed up and shut us down.
  • Javier Esposito: But we did find something on your vic, Nelson Blakely. His prints came back as a Scott McGregor from Long Island City.
  • Kevin Ryan: Problem is McGregor seems to only exist on paper. We can't find any trace of him in the real world.
  • Kate Beckett: Did you guys send units to the listed address?
  • Kevin Ryan: Yeah, and the family living there had never heard of him. And no one recognized his photo.
  • Kate Beckett: Well, someone must have known him.
  • Richard Castle: Someone did. He plays chess. That's not a solo sport.
  • Kate Beckett: I thought you were off the case.
  • Richard Castle: Well, you heard what Sophia said. I'm a reckless, immature, self-centered jackass. If you're stubborn enough to keep going, I'm stupid enough to go with you.
  • Richard Castle: That whole, uh, sinking car thing? Much cooler in the movies than it is in real life.
  • Kate Beckett: And for the record, I prefer watching spy thrillers to being in them.
  • Alexis Castle: You know, if you're going to keep secrets from me, I might start keeping secrets from you, too.
  • Richard Castle: At your age, I'm thinking that might be a good idea.
  • Kate Beckett: Because my car is at the bottom of the Hudson, and Gates won't issue me another one until I write up an incident report, which I can't do because this case is classified.
  • [Castle chuckles]
  • Kate Beckett: What?
  • Richard Castle: Nothing... It's just that's a perfect example of a linchpin. This case might go unsolved, all because you don't have access to a car.
  • Kate Beckett: Don't make me shoot you.
  • [last lines]
  • Richard Castle: You think Dr. Blakely was right? About the linchpin? Do you think we actually *saved* the world?
  • Kate Beckett: I think that we saved a little girl's life and that's enough for me.
  • Thomas Gage: This way.
  • Kate Beckett: No, my car is out front.
  • Thomas Gage: They're watching your car. You go that way and you'll die.
  • Richard Castle: Who's out there? Who are they?
  • Thomas Gage: You can have answers or you can live. Your choice.
  • [first lines]
  • [after their car is pushed off a pier]
  • Richard Castle: This door won't open.
  • Kate Beckett: Yeah, mine won't either. I think the crash bent the frame.
