Quotes 

• Lanie Parish : Remember how you asked if that fall is what killed him? Well, it wasn't. I pulled this out of his back.

  [Lanie holds up a bullet] 

  Kate Beckett : And that is a .38. Do you still think he fell off his sleigh, Castle?

  Richard Castle : No. Clearly, he was shot out of it. Talk about a war on Christmas.

  Kate Beckett : Or he was just shot in an aircraft and pushed out.

• Lanie Parish : You gotta admit, with that beard and that belly? He looks like the real deal.

  Kate Beckett : If by the real deal, you mean an overweight man in a red suit, who was hopefully carrying ID?

  Lanie Parish : Yep. Along with lots of candy cane wrappers, though I don't think that ID of his is gonna do you much good.

  [hands Beckett a wallet] 

  Kate Beckett : "Kris Kringle. Address, North Pole"? That's cute.

  Richard Castle : Maybe he's the real Santa. Like in "Miracle on 34th Street".

  Lanie Parish : Yeah, but with no happy ending. This Santa fell out the sky around 9:30.

  Kate Beckett : From an aircraft?

  Lanie Parish : Maybe, but it wasn't a commercial plane, I can tell you that. With a fall from high altitude, we'd see severe frostbite on his eyes and his face.

• Kate Beckett : So, we have anything else?

  Lanie Parish : Just this, embedded in his suit. A chip of paint or some kind of enamel. Cherry-red.

  Richard Castle : From a sleigh?

  Lanie Parish : I don't know yet. I'm sending it down to the lab for analysis.

  Richard Castle : Probably from a sleigh.
