• Richard Castle : Well, if the bombing proves anything, it's that bad things can happen no matter what you do... Nobody's tomorrow is guaranteed.

  Martha Rodgers : So... how do you plan to act on this realization?

  Richard Castle : What do you mean?

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, you know what I mean. Richard, how much longer are you gonna drag your heels before you tell Beckett how you feel? And I mean while she is awake, not lying on the ground with a bullet in her chest.

  Richard Castle : You don't understand.

  Martha Rodgers : It's complicated. So you say. Only it's not... It's not. Nobody's tomorrow are guaranteed, right? Wouldn't it be better to tell her even if the timing is wrong then never to tell her at all?

  Richard Castle : And what if she isn't ready?

  Martha Rodgers : Then she never will be. Then you move on.
