Quotes 

• Javier Esposito : What are you doing here, bro?

  Richard Castle : Well, you would know if you would've answered my call.

  Javier Esposito : I must not have heard it ring.

  Richard Castle : You rejected it. On live television.

• Richard Castle : A washed-up sitcom star dangling from a hook? Does it get any better?

  Kevin Ryan : I grew up watching that show. Charlie Reynolds is highly underrated as an actor. "2 Cool For School" is a timeless gem.

  Javier Esposito : I seriously doubt that. Not that I ever watched it.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Mr. Castle, you're back. But not by popular demand.

  Richard Castle : Good to see you, too, Perlmutter.

  Kevin Ryan : Do you have a time of death for us?

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Uh, between 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. The cause is obvious. He plummeted off the roof and landed on the hook.

  Javier Esposito : Possible suicide.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Based on the crane's distance from the building and signs of struggle on the roof... he was pushed.

• [watching Beckett and McCord from the breakroom] 

  Richard Castle : Maybe we should go over there and just invite them in for some coffee, you know?

  Javier Esposito : We are not serving them coffee. You bought this espresso machine for the NYPD. *This* is NYPD coffee only.

  Richard Castle : Come on, guys... That's a little harsh.

  Kevin Ryan : Harsh? Beckett's a Judas. Her and her partner just hijacked our case. Whose side are you on?

  Richard Castle : Your side. Look, guys, I'm... I'm on your side.

  Javier Esposito : Hey, Ryan, isn't it a little weird that Castle shows up the same day that Agent Beckett takes over?

  Kevin Ryan : Yes, it's quite a coincidence.

  [they start advancing on Castle] 

  Richard Castle : No. It's not... a coincidence. Yeah, well... No, actually, yes, it's a coincidence.

  Javier Esposito : Maybe... you and Beckett are in on this together. Maybe... you are her inside man. You are Judas' Judas.

• Javier Esposito : Well, if we knew the feds' angle, we'd have a leg up on solving this.

  Richard Castle : Sorry, guys. I've yet to come up with a crazy, genius theory yet.

  [Castle notices Ryan and Esposito have stopped walking] 

  Kevin Ryan : You don't need to... Not when *you* can go directly to the source.

  Javier Esposito : Get Beckett to give us the lowdown.

  Richard Castle : Okay, wait a minute...

  Kevin Ryan : We get much-needed case information, you get to clear up any lingering doubts about your loyalty. Everybody wins.

  Richard Castle : Okay, guys, no, I can't do that, all right? After D.C., we promised we wouldn't...

  Javier Esposito : We did you a solid getting you on this case, Castle. It's time to pay up.

  Richard Castle : Guys... this is my fiancee, okay? What does it say about our future if I keep pushing the boundaries?

  Kevin Ryan : Castle... your whole relationship is built on a foundation of your boundary-pushing.

  Richard Castle : Good point.

• Kevin Ryan : I can't believe Charlie was spying on Anton Renkov and his organization. Any of them look familiar?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah. I saw about three of those Russians on the movie set.

  Kevin Ryan : Mm-hmm.

  Grant 'Sully' Sullivan : And according to Interpol, all of them got criminal records back in the motherland. Assault, murder, all kinds of bad stuff.

  Kevin Ryan : I bet one of them found out that Charlie was a spy and they killed him.

  Kate Beckett : [approaching]  Especially since we know that Charlie was followed to the warehouse.

  Kevin Ryan : Based on what?

  Kate Beckett : We tracked Charlie's movements by triangulating the cell towers that his phone pinged off. And then we used that time stamp to pull satellite footage of the warehouse... How'd you guys get there?

  Javier Esposito : Chicken poop.

  Kate Beckett : Oh... Well, whatever works.

• Richard Castle : [seeing the mess on Beckett's old desk]  Whoa. What happened to Beckett's desk?

  Javier Esposito : That's Sully's desk now.

• Richard Castle : So listen, I'm, uh, I'm sorry about that whole bribe thing. I should have known you were incorruptible.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, I wouldn't say that.

  Richard Castle : Oh. Well, then allow me to try and corrupt you a little later at my place, where we can finally have some alone time. And by "alone time", I mean you and me and my mother and Alexis and... Pi.

  Kate Beckett : That... That sounds... crowded.

  Richard Castle : Yeah.

  Kate Beckett : You know what? Why don't you just give me a call after you guys have solved the case?

  Richard Castle : Well, didn't you hear McCord? The case is wrapped.

  [Beckett hands Castle a flash drive] 

  Kate Beckett : Is it?

  [cut to Beckett and McCord leaving] 

  Kevin Ryan : This whole "greater good" thing blows. Charlie died serving his country. He deserves justice.

  Javier Esposito : What happened to Beckett? She used to understand that.

  Richard Castle : [approaching with flash drive]  I think she still does.

• Richard Castle : It's "Romeo and Juliet". With a nerdy Romeo.

  Javier Esposito : And a smoking hot Russian Juliet.
