Quotes 

• [Working security at the charity event] 

  Javier Esposito : Man, these guys look guilty of *tax* evasion, not home invasion.

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, well, appearances can be deceiving.

  [both turn to see Castle and a dressed up Beckett coming down the red carpet] 

  Kevin Ryan : [to Beckett]  Nice dress.

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, what there is of it.

  Kate Beckett : I'd let you borrow it, Esposito, but you stretched out the last one.

• Richard Castle : [shouting over Beckett's gunfire]  Wouldn't it be more of a challenge if they weren't standing still?

  Kate Beckett : [stops shooting]  Okay, Castle... You show me how it's done.

  Richard Castle : Whoo!

  Kate Beckett : [sets up a new target]  All yours.

  [Castle clears his throat as he takes a one handed stance with his right hand] 

  Kate Beckett : It's not a duel, Scaramouche. Here.

  [Beckett turns Castle around] 

  Kate Beckett : Square off to target... Feet shoulder-distance apart... Okay. Gauntlet your right fist in your left palm.

  Richard Castle : [Castle fires into the wall]  Whoa! Shot too soon.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, well. You know, we could always just cuddle, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Oh, funny. And a smile! Good.

  [Castle fires again, hitting the target but missing the silhouette] 

  Kate Beckett : [sounding dubious]  Well, that's better.

  Richard Castle : Hmm. You know, I, uh, came down to ask you if I could, uh, take home some of those stolen property photos.

  Kate Beckett : Photos of the jewelry? Why?

  Richard Castle : I don't know, just thought it might spark something.

  [shoots again, hitting the target in the groin area] 

  Richard Castle : Ooh. That's got to hurt.

  Kate Beckett : Tell you what. You put any of the next three in the 10-ring, and I will give you the files.

  Richard Castle : Yeah?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah.

  Richard Castle : [quickly fires three shots right in the 10-ring. Beckett stares at the target, stunned]  You're a very good teacher.

• [after Beckett shows her badge while wearing a slinky dress at the fancy charity ball] 

  Richard Castle : Where was the badge?

  Kate Beckett : Don't ask.

• Kevin Ryan : Why do you writers always call them perps?

  Richard Castle : Isn't that what you call 'em?

  Kevin Ryan : Ah, we got a whole lot of names for 'em. Pipe-head, pisshead, ork, creep.

  Javier Esposito : Crook, knucklehead, chucklehead.

  Kevin Ryan : Chud, turd.

  Javier Esposito : Destro, skell.

  Kevin Ryan : Skeksi, slicko, slick.

  Javier Esposito : Mope.

  Kevin Ryan : Sleestak.

  Richard Castle : [scribbling in his notepad while chuckling]  Slow down, slow down.

  Kate Beckett : Suspects. We call them suspects.

  Captain Roy Montgomery : I'm old school. I like dirtbag.

  Richard Castle : Classic.

• Richard Castle : How often are people killed in neighborhoods like this?

  Kate Beckett : Same as anywhere else, Castle... Just the once

• Kate Beckett : Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much, Castle. After all, only the good die young.

  Richard Castle : Ouch!

  Kate Beckett : Listen, Freud. I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to get me to talk about my mom to see if you can squeeze any more pulp for your fiction.

  Richard Castle : 'Pulp'? You think what I do is pulp? Listen, I will have you know that 'The New York Review of Books', not 'The New York Book Review', mind you, 'The New York Review of Books' said that Derrick Storm is this generation's answer to...

  Kate Beckett : I read that piece. And even you have to admit that it's more than a little hyperbolic. So how much did you pay the reviewers?

  Richard Castle : A case of Chateauneuf du Pape, but that's not the point. The point is, you read 'The New York Review of Books'?

  Kate Beckett : Oh, so many layers to the Beckett onion. However will you peel them all?

• Kate Beckett : Tell your friend to keep up his disappearing act, and the next time you show up at a crime scene without me, I'll show you how my Taser works.

  Richard Castle : Promise?

• [Ryan sneezes] 

  Richard Castle , Kate Beckett : Bless you.

  Richard Castle : Jinx!

  Kate Beckett : What's wrong with him?

  Javier Esposito : Goose down. He's allergic.

  Richard Castle : I'm sorry. Under the time-honored rules of jinx, you're not allowed to speak until I release you.

  [Ryan sneezes again] 

  Richard Castle , Kate Beckett : Bless you.

  Kate Beckett : Reverse double-jinx.

  Richard Castle : I, just, I...

  Kate Beckett : Uh-uh. Castle, mouth shut until I release you.

• Kate Beckett : Joanne... listen to me... You're gonna wanna play out every possible scenario in the next couple of days. If only you'd been there. If only you'd come by. If only you didn't work so late. And I'm telling you, it's not your fault. The ones to blame are the monsters that murdered your mom. This isn't a speech. It's not a platitude. It's a promise. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that they pay for what they did.

• Kate Beckett : The other pieces are still in evidence, but I didn't see the harm in returning this.

  [Beckett hands over a locket; Joanne opens it up, revealing a picture of her with her mother] 

  Joanne Delgado : How do you get over it?

  Kate Beckett : You don't... But one day, you'll wake up, and and you'll find that you don't mind carrying it around with you... At least that's as far as I've come.

• Richard Castle : Makes me think about Alexis. Wh-What would she do if something happened to me?

  Kate Beckett : Well, she still has her mom, right?

  Richard Castle : Meredith is more like a crazy aunt with a credit card. Of the two of us, I'm the more responsible one. Pretty sad, isn't it?

• [Ruthie talking to Beckett at the charity event about all the available men to go after] 

  Ruth : Oh! Not that you need any help from me. I see you've got a *big* one on the line. Settle in, Katie. I hear he's a fighter.

  Kate Beckett : Um. Sorry, Castle?

  Ruth : Oh, most of the girls on the register have tried to land him... Rich and handsome. We call him the White Whale.

• Kate Beckett : [grinding her thick-heeled shoe into the dirtbag's gun hand]  Go ahead... I need the practice.

• Evan Mitchell : Oh, I'm not talking without a lawyer.

  Kate Beckett : Why? You guilty of something?

  Evan Mitchell : Yeah, of not running fast enough when your boys showed.

• Richard Castle : What happened to the dress?

  Kate Beckett : You didn't think I was gonna interrogate him in it, did you?

  Richard Castle : We were kind of hoping.

• [Lanie helping Beckett pick a dress for a charity gala] 

  Lanie Parish : No,no. Uh-uh. That one goes to the Thrift store.

  [Beckett sighs and tries another] 

  Lanie Parish : Whoa, 'Karma Chameleon'!

  [chuckles] 

  Kate Beckett : The girl at Saks said fluorescent is in.

  Lanie Parish : Well, then she was on commission.

  [Beckett tries another] 

  Lanie Parish : Uh-uh.

  Kate Beckett : Too 'Showgirls'?

  [Lanie nods] 

  Kate Beckett : You know what he's trying to do? He wants to humiliate me.

  [door bell rings] 

  Kate Beckett : Lanie, can you get that, please?

  Lanie Parish : ll right. But you better not be wearing your prom dress when I get back.

• [last lines] 

  Martha Rodgers : Darling, we have a visitor.

  Kate Beckett : [seeing Castle's black-eye]  Oh, pretty butch, Castle.

  Richard Castle : I know, right? Come, grab a chair.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, no. I just came to return your mom's jewelry.

  Richard Castle : You saved my life. The least I can do is make you some eggs.

  Kate Beckett : No, really, I have to get...

  Martha Rodgers : Nonsense! You sit down right here. Tell us all about last night. We've only heard his version.

  Kate Beckett : [taking a seat]  All right. Um... Shall I begin at the red carpet?

  Alexis Castle : Yes, please.

  Kate Beckett : So...
