Quotes
-
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Ah, Detective Beckett... and Defective Castle.
-
Richard Castle : Wow. She looks like she's been scared to death. Literally.
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Is that based on your *vast* medical experience, Mr. Castle?
Richard Castle : No. Based on the fact she looks like an Edvard Munch painting. Really freaky.
-
Richard Castle : Look at what she was researching here. "How to keep away evil", "How to ward off evil spirits."
[holds up a book]
Richard Castle : A book on urban legends. Over by the door, horseshoes. I clocked two Indian wood chimes, there and there. These are things used to ward off evil spirits. Like Perlmutter.
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : I heard that.
-
Richard Castle : You don't know what killed her.
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : I wouldn't say that.
Richard Castle : Do you have a theory?
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Not at the present time.
Richard Castle : That means you don't know. That means you don't know. And the only explanation is that Val faced something so scary, it stopped her heart and froze her *face* in the last expression she had. Terror. Admit it.
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : All I'll say, Mr. Castle, is that, for now, cause of death is unknown.
Richard Castle : Unknown. Hear that?
[he pulls out his wallet and fumbles with a piece of paper]
Richard Castle : Not good.
Kate Beckett : What are you doing?
Richard Castle : Checking my bucket list. See how many things I can get done in two days. Can either one of you introduce me to Bill Shatner?
-
Kate Beckett : So, Perlmutter, how was Val Butler killed?
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : It *appears* she died of heart failure.
Richard Castle : At 27?
Kate Beckett : Did she have heart problems?
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Well, she certainly did once it stopped beating.
