Quotes
- Beckett: Well, bikes are what girls want when we realize that we’re never going to get a pony.
- Castle: Did you have one?
- Beckett: I still do. ’94 Harley soft tail. Worked all of high school to pay for it.
- Castle: And how did your parents feel about it?
- Beckett: Well, my dad threatened to send me to a nunnery. And my mom just shook her head and said, "Katie, every time you ride that thing, just remember how much you hate hearing me tell you 'I told you so'."
- Ryan: You know, if this were a horror movie, we'd be the first ones killed, splitting off like this.
- Esposito: Yeah, except we're not a couple of top-heavy co-eds out looking for fun. We're highly-trained officers of the law, with enough firepower to take out a horde of undead.
- Ryan: Hispanic and cocky. Yeah, you definitely die first.
- Castle: You know, if this were a horror movie,...
- Beckett: Castle, focus.
- Ryan: Shut up and get in the box.
- Beckett: But you tell him about the karaoke stakeout, I'm gonna tell him what happen with the monkey.
- Esposito: Did he?
- Castle: Did you?
- Beckett: No.
- Beckett: What did I tell you about feeding the animals?
