Quotes 

• Dave Dunne : This is crazy. I did not kill Edmund.

  Richard Castle : [referring to Beckett]  Uh, trust me, you're gonna have to do a lot better than that to convince her.

• Dave Dunne : I already told you where I was, and it wasn't in any helicopter.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, about that. We checked the photos from the Harlem Youth Club. The Santa that was there was not you.

  Kate Beckett : Where were you that night, really? Let me help you. I just got off of the phone with Chuck Ames, the guy that owns that helicopter, and he said that you've rented it from him before.

  Dave Dunne : So, I know the guy. So what? You got no proof that I was in that helicopter that night.

  Kate Beckett : That's because you wiped it down when you brought it back. But you took something with you, didn't you?

  [Beckett opens the door, and L.T. brings in the Thomas Tilledge clock] 

  Kate Beckett : We found this in your apartment.

  Richard Castle : Care to revise your statement?

  Kate Beckett : Let me help you, again. Edmund figured out a way to make a quick score for you both. He worked the party and you were the getaway flier. And then when he got back into the chopper, you decided you wanted it all for yourself.

  Dave Dunne : All what? All he had was a damn clock!

  Richard Castle : Not just any clock. A Thomas Tilledge worth $30,000.

  Dave Dunne : [surprised]  That crap is worth thirty grand?

• Richard Castle : Hi.

  Receptionist : Merry Christmas!

  Kate Beckett : We're looking for David Dunne.

  Receptionist : Oh, Dave's in the big room. Teaching a class.

  Richard Castle : Uh, what is it you do here, exactly?

  Receptionist : We make magic.

  [she leads them into another room, where a group of Santas are being taught] 

  Group of Santas : Ho-Ho-Ho!

  Dave Dunne : Again!

  Group of Santas : Ho-Ho-Ho!

  Dave Dunne : Again!

  Group of Santas : Ho-Ho-Ho!

  Dave Dunne : Once again, from the diaphragm!

  Group of Santas : Ho-Ho-Ho!

  Dave Dunne : Outstanding!

  Kate Beckett : Santa school?

  Richard Castle : And I bet you one Santa is missing.

• Kate Beckett : Now, where were you at 9:30 last night?

  Dave Dunne : I was at the Harlem Youth Center handing out gifts to kids. I wasn't anywhere near Edmund.

  Richard Castle : But you did engage in some un-Santalike behavior at his apartment.

  Dave Dunne : That was this is about? That was nothing.

  Kate Beckett : You threatened to kill him and now he's dead. I wouldn't call that nothing.
