Kate Beckett : Yeah, did she see it?

Captain Victoria Gates : [after a pause] Oh, for Heaven's sake Detective. Just kiss the man.
[everyone looks shocked]

Kate Beckett : Or how about when you wrote that sex scene...
Kevin Ryan : Yeah, wow. Totally losing it.

Captain Victoria Gates : They're working on it.

Kevin Ryan : The car's license plate was registered to Archibald Fosse. Lives alone in a fourth-floor apartment. This isn't his first rodeo, either. He got in trouble playing the ponies, so he took out his bookie with a car bomb six years ago.
Kate Beckett : Six years and he's already out?
Kevin Ryan : Well, he was supposed to do twenty years to life, but his case got overturned on appeal three months ago.
Richard Castle : Any idea about the motivation for last night's bombing?
Kevin Ryan : No, we just ID'd him twenty minutes ago. There's a *lot* we have to learn about him yet.
