Quotes 

• [at Castle's direction, Esposito opens the victim's mouth and pulls out a bag containing a metal disk] 

  Javier Esposito : What does it mean?

  Richard Castle : It's Vodun.

  Javier Esposito : Vodun? What is that, some kind of Star Trek thing?

  [grins mockingly] 

  Kevin Ryan : No, dude, it's a religion practiced primarily in West Africa.

  [when the others look at him] 

  Kevin Ryan : What? I read, too.

  Richard Castle : The, uh, blood in the bowl? Most likely animal. Part of the ceremony. The pouch is an offering to the spirits, but I don't recognize the symbol.

  Javier Esposito : You did, you'd be a suspect. So how do you know about all this?

  Richard Castle : Research for my sixth Derek Storm novel.

  Kevin Ryan : "Unholy Storm".

  Richard Castle : Yes, thank you. And, uh, Vodun's not just limited to West Africa. It's also practiced by Haitian and Dominican communities right here in New York.

• Kate Beckett : This ritual, I assume that it was done for a specific purpose?

  Javier Esposito : That's only if you're assuming that the guy doing this was rational.

  Richard Castle : No, no. She's right. It might not make sense to you or me, but, uh, if you find out why he did this, we might find your killer.

  [Esposito and Ryan look at each other, nodding and grinning about the new guy telling them their jobs] 

  Javier Esposito : Yes. Kinda how we do it.

• [while on the phone with Meredith, Castle saw the murder suspect drive by in his car] 

  Kate Beckett : What do you mean you didn't get the plate?

  Richard Castle : Uh... there was a... it was coming...

  Javier Esposito : What kind of car was it?

  Richard Castle : Uh, it was big. It was an SUV, I think.

  Kevin Ryan : You think? What about the color?

  Richard Castle : Uh, black. Dark blue. Uh... it's very hard being a witness. I don't know how you guys ever get a conviction.
