Quotes 

• Kevin Ryan : She was like the dog whisperer for CEO's.

  Javier Esposito : You really buy that.

  Kevin Ryan : Oh, yeah, skimmed through her book. I think there might be something to her theory. For instance, she said that in every relationship, there needs to be a masculine energy and a feminine energy. Even in ours.

  Javier Esposito : Oh. Well, we know which one you are.

  Kevin Ryan : I don't know about you, but I'm very *comfortable* in my masculinity.

  Javier Esposito : You do realize you're wearing a sweater vest, right?

• Captain Victoria Gates : [after Ryan and Esposito are ambushed]  The SUV took off right after you hit the subway. We're pulling traffic footage, and we've got every cop in the city looking for it.

  Kate Beckett : And you said they were wearing masks?

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, clown masks.

  Richard Castle : As if clowns weren't creepy enough.

• Kevin Ryan : I spoke to the boys in Robbery and at the FBI. No one has reported a diamond like this stolen. Not just recently. Ever.

  Captain Victoria Gates : Then where did it come from?

  Kate Beckett : And if it was stolen, why haven't the owners reported it?

  Richard Castle : What if it's because they couldn't afford to? Because the diamond has some kind of sordid past. Perhaps it's like the Hope Diamond, it's cursed. Or maybe it's an occult gem of great power smuggled out of Nazi Germany shoved up somebody's...

  Captain Victoria Gates : Thank you, Mr. Castle.

• Kevin Ryan : Well, speaking of animal nature, you should see the inside of her car.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, wow.

  Kevin Ryan : It's been completely torn apart.

  Lanie Parish : And from the spatter pattern, it looks like all of this was done *after* she was killed.

  Richard Castle : So they killed her, then they killed her car.

• [Ryan calls Captain Gates about the diamonds worth] 

  Captain Victoria Gates : [on phone]  6-0? Like, with another six zeros after that?

  Kevin Ryan : [on phone]  That would be 60 million, yes.

• Javier Esposito : So... we thinking the same thing?

  Kevin Ryan : Eh, that it's a bummer we can't stop for lunch, because there's a $60 million diamond sitting between us?

  Javier Esposito : No. That because of the $60 million diamond sitting between us that we are not-really-but-kinda-sorta thinking about making a run for the border.

  Kevin Ryan : Hadn't even crossed my mind.

  Javier Esposito : Of course it didn't. Nope, you wouldn't have the stones. All I'm saying.

• [on phone with Ryan and Esposito about the diamond] 

  Kate Beckett : Is it possible it's an heirloom passed down through generations and that's why there's no record of it?

  Javier Esposito : Nah, Peters said that old-school cutters fashioned diamonds with sharp edges. This one has smooth edges, which means it had to be cut within the last few decades.

  Kevin Ryan : And no customs declaration means it was smuggled in, probably from the country where it was mined.

  Captain Victoria Gates : Were we able to connect any of Alice's clients to the diamond?

  Kate Beckett : We're still going through them, but no, not yet.

  Kevin Ryan : Peters said he also found some glue residue on the stone, which suggests it was set in a piece of jewelry.

  Richard Castle : For engaged men everywhere, I can only hope it wasn't a ring.
