- Javier Esposito: [On the phone with Ryan] Hey, bro. Yeah, I followed him down to the subway. I'm looking for him now.
- Kevin Ryan: What, you lost him?
- Javier Esposito: No, I didn't lose him. I just... don't have visual contact.
- [last lines]
- [to the team after Javi's return from diffusing a hostage situation on the subway]
- Richard Castle: I hate to interrupt, but I have a brilliant idea. How about we all go to The Old Haunt, huh? Drinks on me.
- Kate Beckett: Yeah, done.
- Richard Castle: Come on, we'll take the subway.
- [They all give him a hard look]
- Richard Castle: Too soon?
- Javier Esposito: Too soon.
- Richard Castle: [holds up a coin] Please accept this as a token of my apology.
- [chuckles]
- Richard Castle: Am I on the wrong track here?
- Captain Bigelow: Detective Ryan?
- Kevin Ryan: Yes, sir.
- Captain Bigelow: Captain Bigelow, HRT. What's the intel on your suspect?
- Kevin Ryan: Sir, he's a hacker, an Occupy Wall Street activist. It's all sketchy.
- Captain Bigelow: What about your boy Esposito? Is he someone we can count on? He's solid?
- Kevin Ryan: He's as solid as they get.
- Kevin Ryan: [after Esposito is cured of a deadly virus] Man, you had me scared.
- Javier Esposito: That's because you're a wimp.
- [first lines]
- Richard Castle: So what do you think? This feels different, doesn't it?
- Kate Beckett: What does?
- Richard Castle: Rolling up to a crime scene as a married couple. We're like Nick and Nora Charles.
- Kate Beckett: No, like "McMillan & Wife".
- Richard Castle: "Hart to Hart".
- Kate Beckett: "Turner & Hooch".
- Richard Castle: Turner and Hooch aren't even married.
- Kate Beckett: Yeah, but you still remind me a little of Hooch.
- Kate Beckett: [Castle is theorizing about the murder] And I don't suppose that you have a particular case of Paul's in mind, do you? Or proof? Or suspects?
- Richard Castle: No. But I will, once you identify who met Paul at the park.
- Tory Ellis: This is street cam video of that pay phone. 11:04 yesterday morning, this is the man who called Paul Reeves.
- Kevin Ryan: Tory ran the image. It got a match on his face.
- Richard Castle: [reading] "Jared Stone. Misdemeanor Computer Trespassing"?
- Tory Ellis: Otherwise known as hacking.
- Javier Esposito: Hey, why'd you become a cop?
- Marisa Aragon: Got out of the Army. It's what made the most sense.
- Javier Esposito: Me, too. You miss the service?
- Marisa Aragon: Some parts. Not others.
- Kevin Ryan: You have to admit, Castle's theory is... surprisingly logical.
- Kate Beckett: Yes, and it's conveniently unburdened by evidence.
- Marisa Aragon: You're holding an uncapped marker, and you're telling me you were not about to tag this subway car?
- Marisa Aragon: I know what this is. I'm just a transit cop. You gold-shield guys are always acting like you're better than us.
- Javier Esposito: We are better than you.
- Javier Esposito: So, what's going on with married life, huh? How is that--the whole family thing?
- Kevin Ryan: Sarah Grace, she's--she's growing up, changing so fast. Just trying to hold on to every second.
- Javier Esposito: Hey, what kind of dad do you think I'd be?
- Kevin Ryan: You'd be great.
- Javier Esposito: Even growing up with no role model?
- Kevin Ryan: Well, you know, the thing of it is, you know what it's like not having a father. You'd make sure your kid never felt that way. You and Lanie... Hmm?
- Javier Esposito: No. She like things how they are. But, you know, maybe I'm ready for more than that, you know what I'm saying? Move forward.
- Kevin Ryan: Huh.
- Javier Esposito: Hey, did you hear that? That sound?
- Kevin Ryan: No. What's that?
- Javier Esposito: It's my biological clock ticking. Tick, tock, tick.
- [laughs]
- Kevin Ryan: [sighs] We were having a genuine, honest moment here, and you had to ruin it by being a jackass.
- Lanie Parish: Got any of that left over for me? Javi, I was worried sick. I thought that...
- Javier Esposito: I know what you thought, but I'm here. I'm back.
- [kisses Lanie]
- Javier Esposito: I'm all right.
