Quotes 

• Richard Castle : You are never gonna believe what just happened. Brock invited me to go drinking with The Indestructibles. Me! With them!

  Kate Beckett : But you told them you couldn't because you're in the middle of a case. Right?

  Richard Castle : No. What? No, I just... What- Isn't it okay if I...

  Kate Beckett : Castle, you really think that I could stand between you and your boyhood dream?

  Richard Castle : You are my boyhood dream.

  Kate Beckett : Aw!

  [chuckles and kisses him] 

  Richard Castle : Well, you and drinking with The Indestructibles.

  Kate Beckett : You don't always have to keep talking.

• Richard Castle : I'm starring in my own action movie! This is the best night ever.

• Richard Castle : The recording you are about to hear will provide incontrovertible proof that Henry Allen Boothe ordered the murder of Lance DeLorca.

  [Castle plugs in the USB drive and presses play, but nothing happens] 

  Richard Castle : Sound's not working. Hang on a second, this was...

  [he sees Beckett is listening to the recording with a set of headphones] 

  Richard Castle : Headphones? Aren't you gonna let me hear it?

  Kate Beckett : And reward you for your semi-illegal behavior? I think not.

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

  Richard Castle : The identity of the killer.

  Kevin Ryan : No, not that.

• Brock Harmon : Um, what exactly happened? How'd he die?

  Kate Beckett : Um... he was strangled... With a garrote.

  Richard Castle : [to Brock]  Does that mean something to you?

  Brock Harmon : You know Lance was CNI, right?

  Kate Beckett : Spanish intelligence. But what does that have to do with his murder?

  Brock Harmon : Everything. He was a CNI assassin. That was his signature. He killed people with a garrote.

  [cut to Castle and Beckett entering the precinct] 

  Richard Castle : Which is why it was used to kill *him*. Lance was murdered because he's the Spanish Jason Bourne.

• Kate Beckett : Castle, he left CNI thirty years ago. Why would his past catch up to him now?

  Captain Victoria Gates : [approaching]  Mr. Castle might just be right about CNI.

  Richard Castle : [to Beckett]  Ah-ha!

  [to Gates] 

  Richard Castle : How- How am I right?

  Captain Victoria Gates : Esposito and Ryan are off interviewing folks on the set, but before they left, they got on to something. They pulled Lance's phone records, and the day he died, he made a phone call to Interpol in Spain. To the office of one Enrique Gomez.

  Kate Beckett : What does Gomez have to do with CNI?

  Captain Victoria Gates : According to his bio, Gomez used to work there. At the same time Lance DeLorca did.

  Richard Castle : So Lance reaches out to another ex-agent, and he's killed with a garrote? Mark my words, this case is gonna lead us into a labyrinthian world of deceit, villainy, and international espionage. This is better than one of his movies.

  Kate Beckett : After what I saw, it'd have to be.

• 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.

  [hands him a photo] 

  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.

• [showing Beckett a piece of evidence he acquired, with help, without a warrant] 

  Kate Beckett : You're telling me that this was handed to you by a concerned citizen?

  Richard Castle : Uh...

  [pause, then slowly] 

  Richard Castle : Yes.

  Kate Beckett : Castle?

  Richard Castle : This is probably one of those times where I shouldn't keep talking. For both our sakes.

• 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]
