Denise Dowse: Judge Gloria Wollcott

Quotes 

• Richard Castle : Good morning, Your Honor.

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : Mr. Castle, you can't be in here.

  Richard Castle : And yet here I am. Your Honor, I was made a fool of yesterday on the stand. I have a reputation to protect. So I would like... a do-over.

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : A "do-over?"

  Richard Castle : A do-over.

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : Okay, two things. One, that's stupid. And two, your presence in my chambers is highly unethical. I could hold you in contempt of court for this.

  Richard Castle : Well, I would like to... see you try.

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : [on intercomm]  Reggie, come in here, please.

  [to Castle] 

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : Mr. Castle, I'm aware of your friendship with the mayor. So even though you don't deserve it, I'm gonna let you go.

  [a bailiff enters] 

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : Reggie, escort him out of the building, please.

  [as he turns to leave, he notices her diploma on the wall] 

  Richard Castle : Oh. Your Honor, I see you attended law school at Hudson University.

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : Hmm.

  Richard Castle : That explains why you're so bad at your job.

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : Excuse me?

  Richard Castle : Yes, you see, uh, everyone knows only criminals attend Hudson University. I, myself, have solved three homicides there.

• Richard Castle : Please tell me you solved it.

  Kate Beckett : Roger's alibi checks out. We're back to square one with zero leads. Any luck with Weller?

  Richard Castle : All he cares about is getting a conviction, and from the look of the jury, when they found out about Nina and Sadie's affair, he's gonna get it.

  Kate Beckett : We need to figure something out.

  Richard Castle : I have an idea.

  Kate Beckett : Castle, what are you doing?

  Richard Castle : Saving an innocent woman's life.

  [they enter the courtroom] 

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : Mr. Brown, your witness.

  Richard Castle : Stop the trial!

  [the room goes silent and everyone turns to look at him] 

  Kate Beckett : Okay, so... now what?

  Richard Castle : I don't know, I didn't think this one all the way through.

• Richard Castle : Hello, Your Honor, nice to see you again.

  Judge Gloria Wollcott : Hoping to make another visit to the holding cells, Mr. Castle?

  Richard Castle : No, Your Honor, once was plenty. Thank you.
