Quotes 

• [Castle being interrogated after being discovered at the crime scene with a gun in his hand] 

  Richard Castle : So you, being the expert veteran of dozens of crime scenes, decided to pick up the murder weapon, to what? Ensure that we had your prints?

  Richard Castle : Maybe you missed the part where I said she was shot dead. When I heard the noises coming from the next room, I thought whoever killed her was coming back. So I picked up the gun to defend myself. It seemed like a very good idea at the time. That's when you, Esposito, and Annie Oakley come bursting through the door.

  [in the observation room with Ryan and Esposito] 

  Captain Roy Montgomery : Annie Oakley?

  Kevin Ryan : [pause]  I kind of almost shot... Castle.

  [seeing Montgomery's look] 

  Kevin Ryan : What? He had a gun.

• [seeing a cardboard cutout of Castle in a bookstore window] 

  Kevin Ryan : He really is ruggedly handsome.

• [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.

• Kevin Ryan : Hey. Bad news. According to the banks, our victims' deposits were made in cash. There's no way to trace the payments. And since the deposits were less than $10,000, there was no report made to the IRS.

  Kate Beckett : Which means that our victims were most likely involved in something illegal.

  Richard Castle : Just so you know, I got that from "shot to death."

  Kevin Ryan : So?

  [to Beckett] 

  Kevin Ryan : So... what illegal activity involves vending machines, an artist, and a high school teacher?

  Richard Castle : I know. Even the stuff I'm making up in my head doesn't make sense.

• [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.
