The Third Man (2010)

Jon Huertas: Javier Esposito

Quotes 

• Javier Esposito : Why do you care about some mother-freaking snakes on a mother-freaking plane?

  Richard Castle : Because as a murder mystery novelist, I am highly paid to think like a bad guy. Here are a few fun facts about snakes, they are cold-blooded, they swallow huge amounts, and they digest their food very slowly.

  Kate Beckett : Perfect for smuggling.

• Richard Castle : What kind of psychopath takes pictures of himself and his murder weapons?

  Kate Beckett : Some killers keep trophies.

  Kevin Ryan : In his defense, he did delete these photos.

  Javier Esposito : .45 with a silencer. Wonder what he had lined up for this.

  Kate Beckett : Nothing good. Has CSU pulled the prints off of the camera and personal effects?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, they don't match Doug Bishop and they're not in the system.

  Kate Beckett : Which means he doesn't have a record.

  Richard Castle : Well, if Doug wasn't our squatter, what was he doing in the Dysons' apartment?

  Kate Beckett : He had to have known the squatter somehow.

  Kevin Ryan : If this squatter was so meticulous about putting things back, why'd he leave all this for us to find?

  Richard Castle : You're right. It-It makes no sense.

  Kate Beckett : [surprised]  What? No grand theatrical *theory* to spin for us?

  Richard Castle : Honestly, I, uh, got nothing.

• [after questioning a suspect who had a wild story] 

  Richard Castle : I'm just saying it's a really good story. Come on, mysterious bad guys, crescent-shaped scars, hiding in a closet...

  Kate Beckett : It sounds like fiction, because it probably is.

  Richard Castle : Well, that's too bad. He's a nice guy.

  Javier Esposito : So was Jeffrey Dahmer. Didn't stop him from eating people.

• Javier Esposito : I ran background checks on everyone who knew the family was gonna be out of town. So far, everyone's come back clean, but I'm gonna keep digging.

  Kate Beckett : Anything on canvass?

  Kevin Ryan : A whole lot of nothing. No doorman on the building. None of the Dysons' neighbors noticed anything out of the ordinary.

  Javier Esposito : Shocker. I've lived in my spot eight years, I couldn't pick my neighbors out of a lineup.

  Richard Castle : Well, that's Manhattan for you. Nobody notices anything unless it affects them directly.

  Javier Esposito : [teasing him about the Ledger article]  Unless it's in the paper.

• Javier Esposito : Place is clear.

  Kevin Ryan : No gun, no ketamine, no mountain climbing equipment. There is nothing here.

  Richard Castle : Yes, there is. An icebox, circa late 1800s. You see, before the invention of modern household refrigeration, people used to keep their perishable items in a box that held ice, hence... an icebox.

  Kate Beckett : It's not an open house, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Oh, the Maitlans were very clever. They converted *this* into a cupboard, meanwhile, it's right next to their fridge.

  [opens the refrigerator and shrieks when a dead body falls out] 

  Richard Castle : [everyone rushes over to check the body] 

  Richard Castle : I did not expect that.

  Kate Beckett : Crescent-shaped scar.

  Richard Castle : Looks like there was some truth to Micky's tale, after all.

• [Beckett gets a phone call from Brad and walks a bit away for privacy] 

  Richard Castle : Who's Brad?

  Javier Esposito : Hmm. Must be Lanie's friend.

  Richard Castle : You know him?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, met him once. Good guy... Fireman. He was in the FDNY calendar. Chiseled good looks, rock hard abs. Oh, and get this, once during a fire, after saving the parents and the kids, he went back in... for the puppies.

  Richard Castle : Did she just flip her hair?

  Javier Esposito : I'm telling you, bro... Puppies. Gets 'em every time.

  Kevin Ryan : Puppies.
