Quotes 

• Kevin Ryan : Our baby's due in a month, and I can't stop it. What if I'm really not ready?

  Javier Esposito : Well, you're not ready.

  Kevin Ryan : What?

  Javier Esposito : Nobody is. Look, being a dad is like being a cop. Doesn't matter what they teach you in the Academy, you learn on the streets. You did okay with that, right?

  Kevin Ryan : Uh, my first day, I was so nervous, I rear-ended a SWAT van and ten guys in vests poured out, ready to take me down with extreme prejudice.

  Javier Esposito : Well... you care. That already makes you a hundred times better than the dad I had.

• [Castle and Beckett enter the precinct dead on their feet after taking care of Cosmo all night] 

  Kevin Ryan : Whoa! You two look like you got hit by the milk truck.

  Richard Castle : You see this face? This is the face of your future.

  Javier Esposito : That bad, huh?

  Richard Castle : No, no, no. We slept like babies.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, up every hour.

• Javier Esposito : So, I got a hit in the, uh, prison tattoo database.

  Kate Beckett : Mm-hmm.

  Javier Esposito : [shows picture]  Check it out.

  Kate Beckett : Just like Roman described it.

  Javier Esposito : Yep. It belongs to one Jimmy Wolfinsky, aka Jimmy the Wolf. Suspected in a handful of bank and jewelry jobs. He was arrested seven years ago and convicted when a bank robbery went south. He just got paroled two weeks ago.

  Kate Beckett : Any connection to our victim?

  Javier Esposito : Well, the bank that he robbed, Jimmy would've gotten away, but when he came outside the building, his getaway car, was gone. Jimmy's partner bolted when the alarm sounded. Cops never caught him, and Jimmy never ratted, but witness were able to provide a sketch of the getaway driver. Look familiar?

  Richard Castle : That's Cameron Ducane, our victim.

  Javier Esposito : Our mild-mannered limo driver had a criminal past.

  Kate Beckett : Looks like that past just caught up with him.

• Richard Castle : Esposito, you said that there was a TV station in the Colfax Building?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, WQTI.

  Richard Castle : Right. The break-in where nothing was stolen? Ping-Pong balls, wax, gas. You guys, it makes perfect sense... They fixed the lottery.
