[to his daughter Alexis] I just want someone to come up to me and say something new.
Mr. Castle?
[turning around holding a pen ready to give an autograph] Where would you like it?
[holding badge] Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD. We need to ask you a few questions about a murder that took place earlier tonight.
[taking the pen from him] That's new.
[pointing to inscription on Castle's book] From the library of Katherine Beckett.
Do you have a problem with reading, Ryan?
Yo, check it, girl, you're totally a fan!
Right. Of the genre.
Right, the genre, that's why you're blushing.
What are you, twelve?
[to Beckett] Well, you're not bridge and tunnel. No trace of the boroughs when you talk, so that means Manhattan, that means money. You went to college, probably a pretty good one. You had options. Yeah, you had lots of options, better options, more socially acceptable options, and you still chose this. That tells me something happened. Not to you. No, you're wounded, but you're not that wounded. No, it was somebody you cared about. It was someone you loved. And you probably could have lived with that, but the person responsible was never caught. [realizing he's overstepped] And that, Detective Beckett, is why you're here.
Cute trick. Don't think you know me.
[hesitant] The point is, there's always a story... you just have to find it.
Half of the guys are waiting for prints. You don't just jump the line.
Oh, I think somebody feels threatened.
I'm not threatened.
No, no, I get it. I can call the mayor and you can't.
We have procedure. Protocol.
Yeah, and you always come to a complete stop at a red light and you never fudge your taxes. Tell me something: do you ever have any fun? Let your hair down? Drop your top? A little "cops gone wild"?
You do know that I'm wearing a gun?
You wanted to see me, sir?
Yeah. I just got a call from the mayor's office. Apparently, you have a fan.
A fan, sir?
Rick Castle. Seems he's found the main character for his next set of novels: a tough but savvy female detective.
... I'm flattered?
Don't be. He says he has to do research.
Oh no.
Oh yes.
No way.
Beckett, listen.
Sir, he is like a nine-year-old on a sugar rush, totally incapable of taking anything seriously.
But he did help solve this case. And when the mayor's happy, the commissioner's happy. And when the commissioner's happy, I'm happy.
How long, sir?
[motioning to his door] It's up to him.
[Beckett turns to find Castle standing in the doorway, smirking]
[To Beckett] A control freak like you with something you can't control? No, no, that's gonna be more fun than Shark Week.
Richard Castle, you are under arrest for felony, theft, and obstruction of justice!
[Smiling] You forgot making you look bad.
Lanie Parish: No signs of struggle. He knew her. Even brought her flowers. Who said romance is dead?
Kate Beckett: I do, every Saturday night.
Lanie Parish: A little lipstick wouldn't hurt.
Rick Castle: You want to know why I killed Derrick? There were no more surprises. I knew exactly what was going to happen every moment of every scene. It's just like these parties. They become so predictable. "I'm your biggest fan." "Where do you get your ideas?"
Alexis Castle: And the ever popular, "Will you sign my chest?"
Rick Castle: That one I don't mind so much.
Alexis Castle: Yeah, well, FYI, I do.
Rick Castle: Just once I want someone to come up to me and say something new.
Kate Beckett: Mr. Castle?
Rick Castle: [turns and holds out his pen] Where would you like it?
Kate Beckett: Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD. We need to ask you a few questions about a murder that took place earlier tonight.
Alexis Castle: [takes pen from Castle] That's new.
Kate Beckett: Mr. Castle, you have quite a rapsheet for a bestselling author. Disorderly conduct, resisting arrest...
Rick Castle: Boys will be boys.
Kate Beckett: Says here you stole a police horse?
Rick Castle: Borrowed.
Kate Beckett: And you were nude at the time?
Rick Castle: It was spring.
Kate Beckett: And every time the charges were dropped.
Rick Castle: What can I say? The mayor's a fan. But if it makes you feel better, I'd be happy to let you spank me.
Kate Beckett: Mr. Castle, this whole bad boy charm thing that you've got going might work with bimbettes and celebutantes. Me? I work for a living. So that makes you one of two things in my world. Either the guy who makes my life easier or the guy who makes my life harder. And trust me, you do not want to be the guy who makes my life harder.
Kate Beckett: Why are you here? You don't care about the victims, so you aren't here for justice. You don't care that the guy's aping your books, so you aren't here 'cause you're outraged. So what is it, Rick? Are you here to annoy me?
Rick Castle: I'm here for the story.
Kate Beckett: The story?
Rick Castle: Why those people? Why those murders?
Kate Beckett: Sometimes there is no story. Sometimes the guy is just a psychopath.
Rick Castle: There's always a story, always a chain of events that makes everything make sense. Take you, for example. Under normal circumstances, you should not be here. Most smart, good-looking women become lawyers, not cops. And yet, here you are. Why?
Kate Beckett: I don't know, Rick. You're the novelist. You tell me.
Rick Castle: Well, you're not bridge and tunnel. No trace of the boroughs when you talk, so that means Manhattan, that means money. You went to college, probably a pretty good one. You had options. Yeah, you had lots of options, better options, more socially acceptable options, and you still chose this. That tells me something happened. Not to you. No, you're wounded, but you're not that wounded. No, it was somebody you cared about. It was someone you loved. And you probably could have lived with that, but the person responsible was never caught. [realizing he overstepped] And that, Detective Beckett, is why you're here.
Kate Beckett: Cute trick. Don't think you know me.
Rick Castle: The point is, there's always a story. You just have to find it.
Three men huddled around a computer... that better not be porn. And if it is, I want in.
Well, apparently, in an actual homicide, they don't know who did it until the guy gets caught.
Mr. Castle, be advised: if you get injured following Detective Beckett to research your next novel, you cannot sue the city. If you get shot, you cannot sue the city. If you get killed...
My lifeless remains cannot sue the city?
Your heirs, Mr. Castle, your heirs.
Mrs. Peterson? Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD. I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about Sarah Manning.
Of course. Please come in.
Thank you.
Richard Castle, just... N.Y.
