[after accusing a suspect with a lot of evidence]
So you can play dumb, or you can play ball.
CastlePun intended.
[after being told they were investigating someone's trip to Cuba]
I don't know...me in a swimsuit under the hot, blistering sun.
CastleI'd be happy to rub lotion on you.
CastleWhat is it with professional sports? Even the agencies are on steroids.
Fox's client list is a veritable who's-who of star athletes. Five percent of their endorsements and salaries? You could pay for half of lower Manhattan.
Castle...did you just use the word "veritable?"
Yes, I did.
CastleSexy.
You should hear me say "fallacious."
CastleWe should get a warrant, run his subscribers against any hate mail that the Vegas might have gotten.
You sure you got no cop in the Castle family tree?
CastleNo, us Castles are mostly con artists and circus folk, sir.
No, I think there's a little cop in there somewhere.
[Castle’s theory on the suspected killer]
CastleMaybe it was the Cuban government all along. They hated Vega for defecting, so they sent a beautiful spy for him to fall in love with. It works. He smuggles her back home, and bam, he's dead.
Sounds like a Castle story.
[Esposito scoffs]
CastleI'll call it "Corazon de Fuego."
CastleMaybe our killer has a sweet tooth.
Given the state of undress I would say it's more likely a sexual fetish.
I can do the chocolate. I will even do the whipped cream bikini, but caramel? I prefer slippery to sticky.
Castle[To Ryan] Does she know we can hear her?
[After learning where Mistress Venom worked]
[On the phone] Hi, my name is Kate, and my boyfriend has been a very bad boy. [Castle smirks] Yes, that's right. His name's Ricky.
CastleWhat're you doin'? [Chasing after Beckett who is still on the phone]
Actually, a friend of mine recommended a Mistress Venom - is she available tonight? 4pm? Sure, that's perfect, thank you.
CastleOK, that's very funny, now call her back!
Uh-uh Castle, this is the perfect way to get Venom without tipping our hand. [Starting to walk away and turns around] What's the matter Castle, you afraid of a little role play? [Smirking]
CastleYeah, you better run!
[At the dungeon]
Welcome to Lady Irena's House Of Pain, how can I serve you?
[Shouting at Castle] Well, answer her! [to the receptionist] You see what I have to deal with? My boyfriend Ricky has an appointment at 4pm with Mistress Venom.
Will you be joining her?
Oh yes! I've been dying to watch him squirm!
Mistress Venom will be delighted to have an audience. Follow me please.
Do you think we could gag him?
Castle[Looking concerned] Remember, my safe word is Apples!
[Castle, Beckett and Esposito looking at the suspect in the interrogation room]
Castle, why don’t you sit this one out? I think Mr. Caraway will respond better to a strong…[zips up her jacket] …female hand.
[After Beckett walks away, Castle grins with Esposito]
CastleSam-I-Am. In a box. With a fox. We’re gonna need some popcorn.
[When Alexis tells Castle and Martha that she’s giving up on cheerleading]
Well, we both learned a valuable lesson today. You learned that you can expand your horizons and grow. I learned that, if that involves short skirts and boys, [sternly] I’m not going to like it.
Fair enough.
CastleAsk me why I'm here.
You know, I ask myself that question every day.
CastleQuick, who do you want to play you in the Nikki Heat movie?
[As if it's the most obvious answer in the world] Halle Berry.
CastleSee? Some people are just great at that game! You know who we could get for you? Angelina? No. Kate Beckett… Kate Beckinsale. We'll call you K-Becks!
What is he doing?
He, uh, touches things.
CastleNight vision goggles. Think I have the newer model though. Maybe in my third book, Nikki Heat will cross paths with a good looking yet cold-hearted FBI profiler. Call it Federal Heat. [Both Beckett and Jordan glare at him] …Or maybe not.
So how long have you two been sleeping together?
Um, we're, we're not sleeping together. We, he just observes me.
Yeah, I've seen the way he observes you.
CastleNo, she's right. Aside from my second wife, this is most sexless relationship I've ever been in.
I've been profiling people for a long time. I'm hardly ever wrong.
Well, this time you are. Wrong.
So if you're not sleeping together, why do you keep him around?
CastleYou know I can hear you.
He's actually proven to be surprisingly helpful.
Huh, I'll take your word on that. [Sees Castle playing with a Taser ] Put. The Taser. Down.
Castle[After Tasering a running suspect] See, I'm helping.
Yeah, I'll buy you an ice cream later.
CastleI'm here to protect you.
What, with your vast arsenal of rapier wit?
