Episode Quotes

Kate Beckett: Don't you have a book coming out today or something?
Richard Castle: Yeah, so?
Kate Beckett: So, you are watching me to paperwork. It's creepy.

Kevin Ryan: You're telling me you've lived in New York your whole life and you've never scored a piece of roadkill?
Javier Esposito: "Roadkill"?
Kevin Ryan: It's an accepted practice, bro. You're done with your old stuff, you leave it on the street for those less fortunate. Artists, students, former hedge-fund managers... It's trickle-down economics at its finest.
Javier Esposito: Yeah, well, I prefer not to be trickled on.
Kevin Ryan: You know that red couch I have? The one you like so much?
Javier Esposito: Don't you say it, bro.
Kevin Ryan: Fifty-fourth and Lex.
Javier Esposito: That's gross. Gross. We are never playing Madden at your place again.

NYPD Detective Kate Beckett: This female detective of yours, exactly how much will she be based on me?
Richard Castle: Well, she's not too bright, and kind of slutty.
NYPD Detective Kate Beckett: Right. So was that wise ass or jackass?
Richard Castle: Actually, that was jackass.
NYPD Detective Kate Beckett: Hmm.
Richard Castle: No, honestly, you're not going to have anything to be embarrassed about. She's going to be... she's gonna be really smart, very savvy, haunting good looks, really good at her job.

Richard Castle: And kind of slutty.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (revealing mistake): An exterior of the police station shows "9th Precinct" but Beckett and her fellow officers work in the 12th Precinct.
Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Beckett asks Creason in interrogation where he was between 11 and midnight, with Caste looking from the other room, we see Creason's lawyer speaking, but we don't hear her.

Trivia

Although the title may seem to be derived from a well-known quotation ("Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"), that is a misquote. The original line is from William Congreve's 1697 play "The Mourning Bride", act iii, scene 8: "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."* In order for the title to have adhered to the original form of the quote, it should have been "Nor Hell A Fury". "The Mourning Bride" is the source of another famous misquote; "Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast, To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak. I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd, And, as with living Souls, have been form'd by Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound." the line appears in act i scene 1. (*In its original form, the quote is "Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd")
