[first lines]
Kate Beckett : I'm telling you, something happened, something changed. It's been weird between us lately.
Lanie Parish : Lately? Kate, it's been weird for four years.
Kate Beckett : No. This is different. He's different. It's like he's pulling away.
Lanie Parish : Well, can you blame him? He's probably tired of waiting.
Kate Beckett : Waiting for what?
Lanie Parish : What do you think? The guy is crazy about you, snd despite your little act, you're crazy about him.
[Kate gives her a look]
Lanie Parish : Oh, what? Was that supposed to be some big secret?
Kate Beckett : [with mixed indignation and defensiveness] Yes!
[Lanie gives her a look in return]
Kate Beckett : [deflating, being honest with herself] No. Do you think he knows?
Lanie Parish : You remember how he used to be? Girl on either arm? You really don't see that guy too much anymore. Why do you think that is? He's waiting for **you*.
Kate Beckett : [after a long pause] Yeah, but, Lanie...
Lanie Parish : I know. You're dealing with stuff. But you cannot ask him to wait forever... Unless, of course, you're okay with him pulling away.
Kate Beckett : What if it doesn't work? What if it ends up like you and Javi?
Lanie Parish : Well, at least we gave it a shot. And so it didn't work out. So what? Now we can move on. Give or take the occasional booty call.
Kate Beckett : I just, I don't wanna lose what we have, you know?
Lanie Parish : Girl, please. What exactly do you have? Really?
Kate Beckett : A friendship?
Lanie Parish : No. What you and I have, is a friendship. What you and Castle have is a holding pattern. How long can you circle before the fuel runs out?

[Beckett came to the morgue with Colin]
Lanie Parish : Easy on the eyes. Cute accent, too. I've just got one question.
Kate Beckett : Hmm?
Lanie Parish : Where's Castle?
Kate Beckett : He took off... For a *lunch* date.
Lanie Parish : In a Ferrari full of flight attendant?
Kate Beckett : Yeah, he's probably trying to rack up his frequent flier miles.
Lanie Parish : I'm sorry. But you know she's just a passing thing.
Kate Beckett : Do I? I mean, the guy's been divorced *twice*, and he's still chasing bimbos. Maybe that's just who he is.
Lanie Parish : Look, maybe it's the wrong time, or maybe he's even the wrong guy. But if he is, how long are you gonna wait to find out?
[Beckett doesn't respond]
Lanie Parish : Ten years, I've been keeping
[points to morgue storage]
Lanie Parish : *them* company, while they spend a night or two here on their way to where we're all going... They all had plans, Kate. Things they were gonna do when they got around to it. Go on a cruise. Lose ten pounds. Fall in love... They thought they had all the time in the world. But nobody does.

[Castle arrives at a murder scene in his Ferrari with a blonde]
Richard Castle : Hey there.
Kate Beckett : I feel like I just walked into a bad episode of 'Miami Vice'.
Richard Castle : Okay, first, there are no bad episodes of 'Miami Vice'. Second, who died?
-
Kate Beckett : You showed the stewardess the evidence file?
Richard Castle : No.
[scoffs and laughs]
Richard Castle : I took a picture of it with my phone.

Colin Hunt : Excuse me, gents.
[approaching in a tuxedo]
Colin Hunt : Has anyone seen Detective Beckett?
[everyone stops and stares as Beckett enters in a fancy dress]
Kevin Ryan : Wow. Uh... you guys going out?
Colin Hunt : I pulled some strings and got us into a party at the British Consulate tonight.
Kate Beckett : Nigel will be there. We'll get his prints and he won't even know it.
Colin Hunt : Cheers, lads.
[Beckett and Colin leave]
Kevin Ryan : Or they could do that.
Richard Castle : Yeah. Sure. If you want to do it the easy way.

Kate Beckett : I didn't realize that dancing was a part of the plan.
Colin Hunt : Well... it offers a perfect vantage point.
Kate Beckett : Huh.
[they start dancing]
Kate Beckett : Do you come to a lot of these events?
Colin Hunt : No, thank God. Why?
Kate Beckett : You just seem very... confident.
Colin Hunt : Oh. Well, that's because my companion is the most beautiful woman in this room.
Kate Beckett : [after a pause, she chuckles] That's clearly the champagne talking. I'm sure you're just comfortable here because you're amongst your own people.
Colin Hunt : These aren't my people. My people are the ones carrying the trays. Yeah. I grew up on the East End. My mum cleaned flats. Dad worked in a factory. They wanted something better. They just... They couldn't quite get it.
Kate Beckett : And then?
Colin Hunt : I was admitted to Eton on a scholarship where I minored in blending in. What about you?
Kate Beckett : I grew up in the city. And, uh, went to college in California.
Colin Hunt : Well, you could obviously do anything you put your mind to. Why be a cop?
Kate Beckett : I guess it was just my calling.
Colin Hunt : Ah, a crusader. I know the type. Doesn't leave a lot of time for a personal life though, does it?
Kate Beckett : What about you? Are you the crusader type as well?
Colin Hunt : Married to the Bill, I'm afraid. The job comes first. Though sometimes I wish it didn't.
Kate Beckett : Yeah. I know the feeling.
-
Kate Beckett : So, who is Sir Alfred Heath?
Colin Hunt : Tonight, I am. The lads back home said the real Sir Alfred is down as a no-show. Gout or some damn thing.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, but what if Nigel Wyndham doesn't show either?
Colin Hunt : He'll be here. And I expect he'll skip the champagne and drink something posh and pretentious. Leaving his print on the glass.
Kate Beckett : What if he doesn't drink?
Colin Hunt : He's British. Trust me, he drinks.

[after Castle arrived at the crime scene with a blonde in his Ferrari]
Kate Beckett : Hey, Lanie, how does it look?
Lanie Parish : Like you waited too long.

[last lines]
Kate Beckett : Um... Castle, do you have a second? Can we talk?
Richard Castle : Actually, I don't. Jacinda has the Ferrari double-parked in a loading zone.
Kate Beckett : Wow. Four dates in three days. You like her?
Richard Castle : Yeah. Why?
[a long pause as Castle is waiting for an answer]
Kate Beckett : She just, she doesn't seem like your type.
Richard Castle : Well, she's fun and uncomplicated. I think that's what my life needs right now.
[turns and leaves]
Kate Beckett : [calls Colin] Hi! It's, uh, it's Kate... Do you still want to buy me that drink?

Kate Beckett : [At crime scene, talks about the body] Hey Lanie, how does it look?

Kate Beckett : The vic
