Quotes 

• Kevin Ryan : Hey, guys. I just found something very interesting.

  Richard Castle : The identity of the killer.

  Kevin Ryan : No, not that.

• Richard Castle : I was raised by a single mother. "Hard Kill" was how I got my bro-time.

  Kevin Ryan : That explains so much.

  Javier Esposito : Mmm-hmm

• Kevin Ryan : But let's say he was all wired up with a briefcase of money. What the hell was he doing?

  Javier Esposito : It's like Lance was running some kind of half-assed sting operation.

  Kate Beckett : [approaching]  Maybe he was. I spoke to Narcotics. The club that Lance went to is a *major* hub for drug sales. Run by a guy that you're familiar with, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Is it... Is that Henry Allen Boothe?

  Javier Esposito : El Jefe from "Hard Kill"?

  Richard Castle : He made a career out of playing drug dealers, and then he quit acting.

  Kate Beckett : And then he began living the part. Apparently, he spent so much time with drug dealers, researching his roles, that he actually became one. Narcotics hasn't been able to make a case against him, though.

  Richard Castle : This is just like "Hard Kill", where Rico Cruze took down El Jefe. Only now, it's one actor taking on the other actor. But the other actor actually happens to be a drug dealer.

  Kevin Ryan : But, again, why would *Lance* do this? Why would he go after Boothe?

  Richard Castle : I don't know, but it's so meta. We should really talk to El Jefe.

• Javier Esposito : Hey! A "Hard Kill" DVD. Looks like Lance was trying to relive the old days.

  Kevin Ryan : [reading from cover]  "Time to hit Cruz control." You know, maybe that's what I need. A catchphrase. "Time to mete out justice." "Time for prison time."

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, you keep working on that, bro.

  Kevin Ryan : "Time to pay the bill for doing the kill."

  Javier Esposito : Okay, on second thought, don't.

• Richard Castle : You told her about the poster.

  Kevin Ryan : I didn't know it was a se--

  [Castle clamped his mouth shut as he groaned and sighed]
