Castle, Season 3

Kate Beckett:
Tell me what I don't know about my mom's murder.

John Raglan:
Everybody drinks their coffee outta cardboard cups these days or those plastic travel mugs. But there's, there's something about the way ceramic warms your hands that... It's weird the things you notice. I just got the long face from the doc. Lymphoma. Six months.

Kate Beckett:
Sorry to hear about that.

John Raglan:
Every year around the holidays, they ... They run that "Christmas Carol" on local TV. When I was a kid, I remember Jacob Marley scared the hell out of me. Forced to drag that, that chain around in the next world.

Rick Castle:
"I wear the chain I forged in life."

John Raglan:
"I made it link by link." I hid a lot of sins behind my badge. And now I gotta carry 'em. But your mother's case ... That one weighs a ton.
