Quotes 

• Richard Castle : Oh, before I forget... what did Penny say about Alexander?

  Kate Beckett : Oh, nothing. Just some silly stuff that didn't make any sense... Why?

  Richard Castle : Because my middle name is Alexander.

  Kate Beckett : I thought your middle name was Edgar?

  Richard Castle : Been perusing the personal section of the Richard Castle website again, have we? No, I changed my middle name to Edgar, for Edgar Allan Poe, back when I changed my last name to Castle. My given name is Richard Alexander Rogers.

• Kate Beckett : Castle, Why is it so important to you that I believe all this stuff about fates and psychics and Santa Claus?

  Richard Castle : Because... if you don't believe in even the possibility of magic, you'll... never ever find it.

• Richard Castle : Hey! Did I hear you right? Our victim is Vivien Marchand, the psychic medium?

  Kevin Ryan : You've heard of her?

  Richard Castle : Yeah! She was very popular in certain Manhattan circles. As a matter of fact, she did a reading for me at a society party about eight years ago. It was pretty... *extraordinary*.

  Kate Beckett : Extraordinary?

  Richard Castle : She got everything right. You know what? Come to think of it, she told me that a beautiful woman would one day move into my loft... and stay with me forever... She neglected to mention it was my mother.

• Kevin Ryan : [looking at desk calendar]  She's got a notation here for three p.m. yesterday. It just says, "T.J."

  Kate Beckett : And nothing else?

  Kevin Ryan : Nope. Maybe T.J. was a ghost coming to visit. Mediums are the ones that can see ghosts, right, Castle?

  Richard Castle : Yes, psychics can tell the future. Mediums can tell the future and talk to the dead.

  Kate Beckett : That's like saying that psychics are con artists, and mediums are con artists and charlatans. I mean, in the end, they're all just fakes.

  Richard Castle : You sound pretty certain of yourself.

  Kate Beckett : That's because when I started as a cop, I wasted a *lot* of time on clairvoyants calling tip lines with information that *never* lead to anything. I mean, I'm surprised you're so gullible.

  Richard Castle : I'm not saying *I* can speak with the dead. I'm just willing to admit that there are people in this world who are more sensitive than me.

  Kate Beckett : Now that's not hard to believe.

  Richard Castle : [pause]  Walked right into that one.

• [investigating the death of an alleged medium] 

  Richard Castle : How did she die?

  Lanie Parish : Stabbed in the back of the neck with an ice pick and then stuffed into the sofa.

  Richard Castle : So, she didn't see that coming.

• [Martha can't decide whether to accept her boyfriend's proposal or not] 

  Martha Rodgers : Love is not about work. Trust me, it's about passion, it's about chemistry, romance.

  Richard Castle : It's about your heart pounding faster because you can't wait to see her.

  Alexis Castle : Can either of you look back on a relationship that ended because the thrill was gone and admit that maybe you gave up on love too soon? Dad, you're back with your ex-wife.

  Richard Castle : Ooh! No, she's right. Yeah, with Gina, the thrill was long, long gone, now, it is back with a vengeance. Of course, it brought along its friends high-maintenance and shopaholic.

• Richard Castle : Surrounded by skeptics.

  Javier Esposito : It's called being a cop, bro.

• [as Beckett reads a note allegedly written by the victim] 

  Richard Castle : The psychic predicted her own *murder*!

  Kate Beckett : Or the killer wrote this in order to throw us off. Run it. Maybe we'll get lucky with the prints.

  [Beckett and Castle leave] 

  Kevin Ryan : Do you think she really...

  Javier Esposito : [immediately and firmly]  No.

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, me neither.
