Darren Pettie: Trapper John

Quotes 

• Trapper John : [answers phone]  Where's my bus?

  Kate Beckett : The bus is on its way. It'll be there in twenty minutes.

  Trapper John : The hostages will be dead in two.

  Kate Beckett : No, nobody needs to die. Okay? It's coming. It's just, it's stuck in traffic.

  Trapper John : We have *rules*, Kate. I said I wouldn't kill anyone. You said you'd get me a bus. I lived up to my end of the deal.

  Kate Beckett : And I'm gonna live up to mine in just...

  Trapper John : I warned you not to jerk me around. Now, I was clear about the consequences. Do I have to prove how serious I am? Is that it?

  Kate Beckett : Okay, I-I think we both just need to take a deep breath and we can talk about...

  Trapper John : I'm done talking!

  [Trapper turns and fires his gun towards Castle] 

  Kate Beckett : What was that?

  [cut to a desktop computer smokes from the gunshot] 

  Trapper John : A warning shot, Kate. The next one's for the kill!

  [Trapper makes his way towards Castle] 

  Martha Rodgers : Don't you touch him, you son-of-a-bitch!

  Richard Castle : No, no! Davenport, hold her back! I got this.

  Trapper John : [cocking his gun]  I'm gonna make pretty red stains out of your boyfriend, Kate. I got my gun to his throat, and I'm gonna paint a Jackson Pollock with his insides!

  Captain Peterson : You need to calm him down.

  Kate Beckett : Listen to me, jackass, I do not control traffic. So you're gonna have to give me 20 minutes.

  Trapper John : Now you've got one minute, Kate.

  Kate Beckett : No! I've got 20. Do you hear me? Twenty. Because if you pull that trigger, I will walk through those doors and personally put a bullet through you skull.

  Trapper John : [after a tense moment, he lowers his gun]  Okay, Kate, you got 20 more minutes.

  Captain Peterson : Well, that's one way to negotiate.

• Kate Beckett : [on phone]  Castle, I need you to listen very carefully. How many are there?

  Richard Castle : There are... three.

  [a gun is cocked behind his head] 

  Richard Castle : Make that four.

  Trapper John : So you're the hero I'm gonna make an example of.

  [John takes Castle's phone] 

  Trapper John : [to Beckett on phone]  Sorry, your friend can't talk right now.

  Kate Beckett : I wouldn't worry about him. I'd worry about yourself. I've got squad cars on their way.

  Trapper John : You a cop?

  [to Castle] 

  Trapper John : You called a cop?

  Richard Castle : No, I, uh, we were already on the line when you guys came in.

  Kate Beckett : Listen to me, so far, nobody has been hurt and nothing has been stolen. So if you just leave the same way that you came in, you can just disappear.

  Trapper John : [to Beckett on phone]  You gonna promise not to come look for me?

  Kate Beckett : I don't look, I hunt. And trust me, you don't want that. So leave now, and this will just be a quirky little article in the Metro section.

  [pause, as John considers it] 

  Trapper John : Sorry, sweetheart, I'd rather make the front page.

  [hangs up] 

• Kate Beckett : [on phone]  This is Detective Kate Beckett. I understand that you wanted to speak with me.

  Trapper John : Yeah, I don't like that other guy.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, me either.

  Kate Beckett : [to Peterson with mike covered]  You said to build a rapport.

• Richard Castle : So why are you guys robbing this bank?

  Trapper John : Sutton's law. When asked why he robbed banks, Willie Sutton famously replied, "Because that's where the money is."

  Richard Castle : Except Willie Sutton never said that. It was a reporter who made up that quote. You see, writers, we're really good at altering reality to fit the narrative. And the story I see you guys spinning here... is really not about stealing money.

  Trapper John : Is that so?

  Richard Castle : You and your crew don't wear gloves. Obviously you're not worried about fingerprints, which means you're not in the system. And those accents? You're mercs, which means you're too smart to get on that bus. So, what was in that box? Why the C-4? And what are you really gonna do with us? You and your crew don't wear gloves. Obviously you're not worried about fingerprints, which means you're not in the system. And those accents? You're mercs, which means you're too smart to get on that bus. So... what was in that box? Why the C-4? And what are you *really* gonna do with us?

  Trapper John : [laughs]  Oh, I like you. That's why I'm gonna kill you last.
