The Best Captain Frank Mahoney Quotes

Captain: Without the disarm code, we're gonna need to get eyes on the device. We use a fiber-optic scope, go in through the ceiling downstairs.

Kate: Just, do it. I can't keep standing here forever.
Captain: All right, we'll go as quick as we can, but as slow as we have to.

Richard: So, what are we supposed to do, just stand here?
Captain: Not you, Mr. Castle. All non-essential personnel must evacuate.
Richard: Oh, no. I *am* essential personnel.
Kate: Castle, it's okay.
Captain: We'll take good care of her. I got guys downstairs right now figuring this out. Meantime, Detective, sit tight. I'll check back with you soon.

Captain: Detective, I'm afraid you've stepped on a sensor plate wired to a detonator. Depressing that plate was sort of like cocking the hammer of a gun. You take your weight off there, it's like pulling the trigger. So it's very important that you don't move... till we figure out how to disarm it.
