Quotes[]
- Castle: Reading the paper? You are going to lose all of your wired teen hyper texting nano gizmo street cred.
- Alexis: I'm a rebel. I like it old school.
- Castle: Who was murdered and... was it gruesome?
- Beckett: So why the burial at sea?
- Castle: The Vikings believed that if you wanted to reach Valhalla you needed a vessel.
- Beckett: Gun-toting Viking? That's your theory?
- Castle: No no no, they also launched their dead with a sacrificial woman... and some booze... and a good horse.
- Castle: Did you know in the original Greek, 'tragedy' literally means 'goat song'? I know, doesn't make any sense to me either, but whatever that first story was, I can't help but think, bad things must have happened to that goat…
- Capt. Montgomery: You gotta be kidding me. I already told the brass that we got the guy.
- Castle: I can see how that would be a little awkward.
- Capt. Montgomery: The Mayor even called to thank me... he's in for the Knicks game, by the way.
- Castle: Sweet!
- Beckett: Whoever staged Max's suicide wanted us to believe that he killed himself out of guilt over shooting Donny, which makes me think Max didn't kill Donny after all.
- Castle: The other kids corroborated Romy's story that Max pulled the trigger.
- Beckett: I didn't say he didn't shoot him. I said he didn't kill him.
- Castle: Is that a Zen kōan one hand clapping thing?
- Max Heller: Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.[1]

Production[]

- Was filmed as episode 3 but aired as episode 4, though on Season 1 DVD it's listed as the third episode.
Storyline[]
- Castle's ring tone is from the start of J.S. Bach's "Toccata & Fugue in D minor".
- We learn that Beckett went to a public school.
- Castle is introduced as a "consultant" for the first time.
- Castle's screensaver says 'You Should Be Writing'.
- Castle mentions in passing the trappings of a Viking funeral including a good horse, booze and a sacrificial woman.
