Patrick Bauchau: Caine Powell

Quotes 

• [Powell breaks into the crime scene] 

  Richard Castle : You, uh, don't seem out of practice.

  Caine Powell : Just like riding a bike.

  Richard Castle : Our thieves used a bump key.

  Caine Powell : This new generation. How utterly vulgar.

  [looking around] 

  Caine Powell : Rick, you didn't tell me they put her in the safe.

  Richard Castle : What's the significance?

  Caine Powell : The significance is it's unnecessary... It's brutality for brutality's sake... This used to be a gentleman's game. We were like ghosts. We could walk through walls and simply disappear. But whoever did this... they're more like vampires. Taste of the blood makes them... feel alive. These aren't the sort of chaps a fellow in my line of work would care to meet by chance in the dark.

  Richard Castle : How often does that happen?

  Caine Powell : More often than you'd think, actually. Ours is a very small community.

  Richard Castle : And then what?

  Caine Powell : In my day, we'd usually come to some sort of an agreement. You see, there was a code of conduct among professionals.

• [having greeted Castle with a punch in the face] 

  Caine Powell : What can I say, Rick? You *really* had it coming.

  Richard Castle : Yes, I did. Thanks for not killing me.

  Caine Powell : The carpet's an antique, Turkish, mid-1600s. Blood stain on it would've been a disaster.

• Caine Powell : Besides, I was ready to retire. Being a ghost is a young man's game.

• Caine Powell : And how's Martha these days?

  Richard Castle : You know Martha. An actress looking for her one-woman show.
