Episode Quotes

Kate Beckett: [asking Bobby Stark for his alibi] So, let me get this straight: you don't remember where you were, or what you were doing last night?

Bobby Stark: That's bad, right?
Richard Castle: Beauty queens and naked pictures. As American as socialites and sex tapes.
Richard Castle: Is that America's dad, Bobby Stark? What's he doing here?
Kate Beckett: He's the pageant host. Oh, please don't tell me you watch his sitcom.
Richard Castle: "Family Foibles"? Half of what I know about being a father, I learned from watching that show.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (factual errors): A computer, after "a hard drive has been wiped", displays two messages: first a doctored DOS directory listing (an empty directory C:HDdrive, with 12 GiB space unused), then a BIOS error message ("BOOT DRIVE NOT FOUND, INSERT SYSTEM DISK"). It's not possible to show a hard drive's directory listing, if no operating system is booted.
