Quotes
-
Captain Roy Montgomery : Did I hear right? You found a body in the oven at Terrific Nick's?
Kate Beckett : Authentic Nick's.
Captain Roy Montgomery : Authentic Nick's?
[relieved]
Captain Roy Montgomery : Oh, thank God. The wife loves Terrific Nick's. I didn't have the heart to tell her it now came in full-bodied flavor.
-
Lanie Parish : As expected, the body was too badly burned to get any prints. But... I did find this. You see here where the shinbone should be? Those are titanium plates.
Richard Castle : So killer cyborg sent from the future. Resistance fighters intercept its coordinates, redirect him into a pizza oven, saving humanity.
[Beckett and Lanie ignore him]
Lanie Parish : The plates had serial numbers. I ran them through the surgical database and got an ID.
Kate Beckett : [reading the report] Gordon Burns.
Richard Castle : Gordon Burns?
Lanie Parish : Yes, Castle. Burns. Go ahead, make your joke. Get it out of your system.
Richard Castle : Gordon Burns as in New York Ledger?
Kate Beckett : You know him?
Richard Castle : Well, not personally. He was a reporter. I used to love his work.
-
Kate Beckett : I thought Terrific Nick's on the East Side was number one.
Richard Castle : Uh, no, that's Authentic Terrific Nick's. This is just Authentic Nick's.
Kate Beckett : This isn't Terrific?
Richard Castle : No. Just Authentic. It's also not Terrific Authentic Nick's. But that's across the street.
Kate Beckett : Well, what's the difference?
Lanie Parish : The difference is, this one has a dead body in the oven.
-
Richard Castle : I should have gotten involved much earlier.
Kate Beckett : Why? Lauren would've still found a way to make Alexis' life miserable.
Richard Castle : Lauren isn't a criminal mastermind. She's just a teenager.
Kate Beckett : Oh, Castle, never underestimate the power of a woman on a mission.
Richard Castle : No, I don't. And I have the alimony checks to prove it.
-
Ralph Carbone : I can't believe those bastards put a body in my oven.
Kate Beckett : I'm sorry, Mr. Carbone, you think you know who did this?
Ralph Carbone : Yeah, sure! I bet it was that jackhole.
[points to man across the street]
Richard Castle : Terrific Authentic Nick?
Nick, Jr. : Sal Malavolta. He used to work for us years ago before opening his own *lousy* pizza shop right across the street.
Ralph Carbone : He stole my frigging recipes. It's *Sal* that done this. Along with the other two!
Kate Beckett : The other two?
Ralph Carbone : [points to another man] That vulture there.
Richard Castle : Terrific Nick?
Nick, Jr. : Vinnie Delfino.
Ralph Carbone : [points to a third man] And the other dirt bag there.
Richard Castle : And Authentic Terrific Nick.
Ralph Carbone : Luca Sabalini. All three of 'em! They're thieves. They live off of our name. And they're not even real Nicks. I'm the only real Nick.
Richard Castle : And your real name is Ralph.
Ralph Carbone : Exactly!
-
Richard Castle : [finding a lead] Look at that.
Kate Beckett : That's last night. He was meeting with someone.
Richard Castle : Someone from that phone number. Just before he was killed.
Kate Beckett : [pulling out her phone] I'm gonna run that down.
Richard Castle : You have an app for that?
Kate Beckett : Yeah, NYPD issue. We just got it.
Richard Castle : [reaching for her phone] Can I...?
Kate Beckett : [stopping him] Whoa!
Richard Castle : Fine. Then you don't get to play my "Angry Birds".
[taunting sing-song]
Richard Castle : And they just came out with a new one.

[at the victim's apartment, which has been trashed, Castle picks up a framed picture of Burns with his daughter]
Richard Castle : I think I met her. I went to a book signing of his, the one he did on the, uh, Sarajevo snipers. She was... coloring next to him while he was signing books.
Kate Beckett : He must have been a good writer for you to stand in line.
Richard Castle : Yeah. He was.
Kate Beckett : Come on. Let's go get CSU.
