Quotes 

• Jenny Ryan : Kevin, you forget your lunch.

  Kevin Ryan : Thanks, baby.

  Jenny Ryan : What would you do without me, huh?

  [being led out of the precinct, Siobhan spots Ryan] 

  Siobhan O'Doul : Fenton?

  Kevin Ryan : Siobhan?

  Siobhan O'Doul : Fenton!

  [Siobhan runs up to Ryan and, in front of Jenny, kisses him full on the mouth] 

  Jenny Ryan : Hey! What the hell are you doing? That's my husband!

  Siobhan O'Doul : You're married?

  [slaps Ryan in the face] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, lady, you can't slap a cop.

  Siobhan O'Doul : You're a cop?

  [slaps Ryan again] 

  Richard Castle : Oh!

  Siobhan O'Doul : [gets taken by two uniform cops]  You liar! You son of a bitch! How could you! Get off of me! Let go!

  [as things settle down, Castle, Esposito, Jenny, and Beckett look at Ryan, arms crossed] 

  Kevin Ryan : [to everyone]  I can explain.

• Kevin Ryan : My name is not Fenton. It's Kevin Ryan. And I'm a cop.

  Robert 'Bobby S.' Shannon : What?... Cop?

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah. And I'm placing the three of you under arrest.

  Robert 'Bobby S.' Shannon : Well, that'll be a hell of a trick considering Liam's about to shoot you and your girlfriend.

  Kevin Ryan : Wait a second, Liam, before you do that, let me ask you a question. Where's your cell phone, huh?

  Liam Finch : What?

  Kevin Ryan : Remember when we tussled back in the hall? Yeah, I picked your pocket. And then when you weren't looking, I dialed my partner and left the line open.

  Liam Finch : No way.

  Kevin Ryan : He heard exactly where we were going.

  Robert 'Bobby S.' Shannon : Liam?

  Liam Finch : He's full of crap, Bobby. He's bluffing.

  Kevin Ryan : Oh, am I? Why don't we meet my partner, huh?

  [loudly] 

  Kevin Ryan : Yo, Javi, where you at?

  [after a moment, Esposito approaches with his shotgun drawn] 

  Javier Esposito : Right here, bro.

  [Bobby, Liam, and Bobby's thug all draw their guns] 

  Kevin Ryan : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, he is former Special Forces. You do not wanna draw on him. Wanna meet the rest of my crew?

  [loudly] 

  Kevin Ryan : Hey, Beckett!

  Kate Beckett : [approaching from behind Bobby]  You called, Ryan?

  Kevin Ryan : Don't let the looks fool you, boys, you don't want to mess with her either.

  [loudly] 

  Kevin Ryan : Castle!

  Richard Castle : [stepping out from his hiding place behind Beckett]  Seriously? I didn't... I didn't bring my vest.

  Kevin Ryan : [to Bobby and Liam, as squad cars approach]  Drop your weapons! Now.

• Kate Beckett : Um... Do you know how you talk in your sleep sometimes?

  Richard Castle : Oh, yeah.

  Kate Beckett : Well, last night, you said a name.

  Richard Castle : Ooh... And not your name, I'm assuming.

  Kate Beckett : No.

  Richard Castle : Well, I wouldn't read anything into one random utterance.

  Kate Beckett : Fourteen utterances. And the name was Jordan. You said it over and over again. Who's Jordan?

  Richard Castle : [defensively]  I have no idea.

  Kate Beckett : Is it a woman?

  Richard Castle : No. It's nothing.

  Kate Beckett : Castle, I know nothing. Nothing is a dear friend of mine. And this? This is not nothing.

  Richard Castle : Yes, it is. Besides, most of what I say is meaningless. Why would it be any different when I'm asleep?

• Kate Beckett : Come on, Castle. Who is Jordan?

  Richard Castle : I've got nothing to hide. There's just nothing to tell.

  Kate Beckett : Then why are you being so defensive?

  Richard Castle : [scoffs]  I'm not.

  Kate Beckett : Okay. Fine. I'll just wait until you're asleep... and then I'll ask you.

  Richard Castle : You can't do that.

  Kate Beckett : Come on, Castle. You just said that you have nothing to hide.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, but interrogating me in my sleep? Would you stoop that low?

  Kate Beckett : Who says I haven't already?

• Javier Esposito : I pulled Jimmy's phone records. In the last three days, he received numerous calls from a woman named um...

  [consults his list and unsuccessfully tries to pronounce a name] 

  Richard Castle : [looks over his shoulder]  Siobhan.

  Javier Esposito : Siobhan?

  Richard Castle : Yeah, the Irish are *notorious* for spelling names in wild and unpronounceable ways.

  Javier Esposito : I don't even see how you get that from it.

  Richard Castle : And you're not alone.

• Javier Esposito : Yo. Looks like Jimmy kept a lot of dough around here.

  Richard Castle : It is a bakery.

  Javier Esposito : Good one. This briefcase was stashed in his office. That's $50,000.

  Richard Castle : Whoa! At $4 a pop, he would have to sell 12,500 cupcakes. That seems unlikely.

• Richard Castle : Is it possible our Ryan is involved in something scandalous and tawdry?

  Javier Esposito : Ryan? No way. He doesn't have it in him.

  Richard Castle : But did you see the way Siobhan gave him that flying lip-lock? They were... Ooh. Look, Jenny's pissed.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, well, it's not surprising when you find out someone you're in a relationship with is keeping a secret.

• Richard Castle : So, do we know how Ryan's doing?

  Kate Beckett : I don't know. And I hate not knowing things.

  Richard Castle : Okay, look. Uh... Jordan is not a woman, all right?

  Kate Beckett : Then who is it? Or rather, what is it?

  Richard Castle : Why does it matter?

  Kate Beckett : Because, Castle, it matters to you. Why won't you tell me?

• Kate Beckett : Lanie's identified the fibers on Jimmy Wheelan. They are... "wool from an Australian sheep."

  Richard Castle : Yeah. Perhaps Bobby S. had an accomplice. Cold-blooded, murderous sheep.

  Kate Beckett : [realizing something]  That's it.

  Richard Castle : Seriously?

  Kate Beckett : No, not that. This.

  [Beckett stands up and points at the picture of Bobby on the murder board] 

  Kate Beckett : Look. Look at the jacket he's wearing. It's leather shearling. With wool.

• Kate Beckett : No, it was all Maggie. She knew that Liam was too loyal, and she figured if she could get Bobby S. in prison, her husband would ascend to the throne.

  Richard Castle : So really, Lady Maggie was Lady Macbeth. Only she was Irish, not Scottish. Uh... listen, Kate, about Jordan...

  Kate Beckett : You know what? If, uh, if you don't want to talk about it...

  Richard Castle : No, I-I-I wanna, but... what happens if you don't like what you see?

  Kate Beckett : What happens if you don't let me look?

  Richard Castle : Jordan Motor Company. They made cars from 1916 to 1931.

  Kate Beckett : That's Jordan? That's the big secret, a defunct car company?

  Richard Castle : Sort of. It goes back to my boarding school days. My first semester there, I was in danger of flunking out. I needed an "A" on my term paper.

  Kate Beckett : So you wrote the paper on that car company?

  Richard Castle : No. Someone else did. And I paid him $250.

  Kate Beckett : Um, Castle, that happened when you were a kid. I don't understand why that would change how I see you.

  Richard Castle : Because it changed how I saw myself. The teacher read the paper to the entire class as an example of great writing, and they applauded. It was the first time I was celebrated ev-for anything, and... it was a fraud. I... I was a fraud. That's when I learned how to write. I wrote and wrote, trying to be as great as everyone thought I was... trying to earn that applause. I'm still trying.

  Kate Beckett : You're right, Castle. It does change how I see you. It makes me like you just a little bit more.

  [Beckett and Castle kiss] 

• Kate Beckett : Hey, Lanie.

  Lanie Parish : Hey!

  Richard Castle : Wow. Talk about death by chocolate.

  Lanie Parish : Don't blame it on the chocolate, Castle. A bullet's what did him in.

  Richard Castle : So that red stuff's not raspberry sauce.

  Lanie Parish : 'fraid not. Exit wound.

  Kate Beckett : So he was shot in the back and then fell in the mixer?

  Lanie Parish : Looks like. But before that, he may have struggled with his attacker. Beige fibers. They were caught on his watchband. CSU'll run an analysis.

• Javier Esposito : Vic's name is Jimmy Whelan. He's the owner of the shop. He has no record *and* nothing in his bio that points to who did this.

  [Castle has been sampling a cupcake] 

  Richard Castle : You can rule out "dissatisfied customer." These things are insanely good.

  Lanie Parish : Eww! You're eating a dead man's cupcake?

  Richard Castle : It was... Free samples.

  Kate Beckett : Time of death?

  Javier Esposito : Between 11:30 and 12:00.

  Lanie Parish : Based on what? All of a sudden you're an M.E.?

  Javier Esposito : I thought you liked it when I played doctor.

  [Esposito looks for a fist bump from Castle, who shakes him off while Lanie glares at him] 

  Javier Esposito : I, uh, based the time of death on what the vic's assistant told me. Right over there.

• Kate Beckett : Okay, Todd, why don't you just run us through what happened.

  Todd : Jimmy sent me on a delivery at 11:30. A dozen red velvets to a beauty shop down the way. And when I came back... He's a super nice guy, Jimmy.

  Richard Castle : Well, was there anyone in his life who didn't feel that way?

  Todd : I'm not sure. Truth is, this is only my second week here. But... he was acting real strange right before I left.

  Kate Beckett : Strange how?

  Todd : This car... cruised by the shop, kind of slow. He got all nervous. That's when he sent me on my run. Like he... wanted to get rid of me.

  Kate Beckett : What kind of car was it?

  Todd : It was a black '68 Charger R/T.

  [Castle is surprised Todd is so specific] 

  Todd : I know my muscle cars.

• Richard Castle : So, master baker Jimmy Whelan, longtime purveyor of caloric, yet delicious, baked goods, sponsor of a local kids' softball team, charter member of the small-business round table. But what was he doing with fifty grand in cash, and why the secret trips to Staten Island?

  Kate Beckett : Sounds like you're not the only one keeping secrets, Castle.

  Richard Castle : I'm going to ignore that.

  Kate Beckett : That's peculiar.

  Richard Castle : What's so peculiar about wanting to ignore...

  Kate Beckett : No, no, no, I mean these *purchase* orders. They show that Jimmy spent over $70,000 on kitchen equipment. Like a twenty-foot wide walk-in freezer.

  Richard Castle : I don't remember seeing that.

  Kate Beckett : That's because there wasn't one. It wouldn't even fit in his kitchen.

  Javier Esposito : [approaching]  Yo. So I ran '68 Chargers. There's only a handful of 'em on the road, but get this. One of 'em is registered to a Robert S. Shannon aka Bobby S. He's a shot-caller for the Irish mob over in Staten Island. He's a ruthless son of a bitch, too. Drug trafficking, assaults. He's suspected of half a dozen murders over in Staten Island.

  Richard Castle : Wait a minute. Secret trips to Staten Island, all that cash. What if the cupcake shop is actually a mob front? Jimmy Whelan the baker is actually Jimmy Whelan the money launderer. Bobby S. could have had a falling-out with him, could have whacked him.

  Kate Beckett : Maybe. But we're gonna need more than just his car at the crime scene to connect him to that murder.

• [Ryan sees a picture on the murder board] 

  Kevin Ryan : Damn. Bobby S. Are we thinking that this guy is the one that took out Jimmy Whelan?

  Kate Beckett : Wait. You know Bobby S.?

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, we were friends back in the day.

  Javier Esposito : *You*... were friends with this low-life? How's that?

  Kevin Ryan : We used to run in the same crew.

  [everyone gives him stunned looks] 

  Kevin Ryan : I was undercover for fourteen months before I joined Homicide.

  Kate Beckett : You were undercover on Staten Island?

  Richard Castle : With the Irish mob?

  Kevin Ryan : So, what do we got on Bobby S.?

  Javier Esposito : No, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold on. Just go back for a second, please? *You* were undercover? That's where you and Siobhan used to...

  Kevin Ryan : It's complicated.

  Richard Castle : I love complicated.

• Javier Esposito : So the canvass at Yonkers Raceway came up with something. A parking attendant saw Bobby S.'s black Charger. Now, it returned thirty minutes after the murder. He only saw it from a distance, but he said the driver was wearing a baseball cap and he walked to the subway stop.

  Kate Beckett : Okay, let's touch base with the MTA.

  Javier Esposito : I already did. I cross-referenced all metro cards swiped at that time. One of 'em was bought with a credit card. And that credit card belonged to Liam Finch, that's Bobby S.'s number two.

  Richard Castle : It's a coup. Liam is framing Bobby to get him out of the way. He wants to take over.

  Kate Beckett : And Ryan walked right in the middle of it.

  Javier Esposito : Worse. He didn't walk in the middle, he walked in as Bobby S.'s friend. That makes him Liam's enemy.

  Kate Beckett : Okay, we have to warn him.

  Richard Castle : If we call him, we could blow his cover.

  Javier Esposito : If we don't, he could end up dead.

• Richard Castle : How did the, uh, thing go with the, uh... you know, do the thing in the thing and give the thing to the doctor?

  [Esposito nod] 

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah. Uh, it went... fine.

  Javier Esposito : [smirks at Castle, turns to Ryan, and point at Ryan's "thing"]  So are your swimmers swimming?

  Kevin Ryan : [looks down, uncomfortable, and covers it]  Um, I don't know yet.

• [first lines] 

  Richard Castle : I sure could go for something sweet.

  Kate Beckett : Do you wanna grab a bite to eat?

  Richard Castle : Actually, it's not food that I'm craving.
