Richard Castle quotes from Castle

Beckett

You want to do something tonight?

Castle

Sure, if you want.

Beckett

Sure.

Castle

Like what?

Beckett

We could, um, go watch a movie.

Castle

Yeah, yeah, if you want to.

Beckett

Well, not if you don't want to.

Castle

Well if you want to, I - I want to.

Beckett

You know what, we've watched a lot of movies over the last couple of weeks.

Castle

Yeah.

Beckett

So maybe we could, you know, if you wanted...

Castle

If I wanted to what?

Beckett

I mean, we could try something else tonight.

Castle

Something else as in...

Beckett

Yeah. I mean, we haven't since...

Castle

Yeah, well, given everything that's happened, I thought you just, you weren't ready...

Beckett

I thought that you weren't ready.

Castle

I'm ready. I'm... I... [scoffs] I'm... I'm so ready.

Beckett

I'm ready too. Like, I'm really ready.

Castle

Okay, well, then, what are we waiting for?

Castle

You promise?

Beckett

Yes, we’ll pick up where we left off. I’ll even slip into that Valentine’s Day gift you got me.

Castle

You mean the one with...?

Beckett

Mmm hmm.

Castle

With...?

Beckett

Yep.

Beckett

Really? That's how the Devil is gonna kill someone? Using a broken pool stick?

Castle

Or perhaps the Prince of Darkness is trying to make a point. You live by the cue, you die by the cue.

Beckett

I thought he usually just released the hellhounds.

Castle

All right, then how do you explain what we just saw back there?

Beckett

Easy. Will didn't close the door all the way when he came back in. Our window was open, the killer came through it, and this huge gust of wind forced the door open, and then shut when they left.

Castle

Except Will lives on the 19th floor. With no fire escape.

Beckett

Come on, Castle. You know that there are plenty of ways to access windows on high-level floors without a fire escape.

Castle

Yes. If you're Spider-Man.

Beckett

Our killer's not Spider-Man.

Castle

Agreed. Because it's the Devil.

Beckett

What would you do if you were attacked by an invisible, demonic force?

Castle

I'd tell Ryan to lay off the bean burritos at lunch

Beckett

Give me a minute, and let me slip into something special, okay?

Castle

Right.

Castle

Cause there's something special I got you for Valentine's Day. I approve.

Beckett

It's even better.

Beckett

It's invisible.

I’m not talking to Mr Castle. He’s a jerkface.

Castle

[To Kate.] Okay, you know what, he’s the jerkface.

Beckett

He's eight years old. You've been here a day and a half, and already you have a nemesis?

I realize you consider yourself the adult of the family...

Alexis

For good reason.

For very good reason. But... but part of being an adult is realizing you can't always protect the people you love.

Alexis

Okay.

Okay.

Alexis

Being an adult really sucks.

Yeah. And you've spent way too much time having to be one. So... [steps out and comes back in with a scooter] I'm ordering you to be a kid.

Alexis

Don't you think I'm a little old for that?

I am not too old for it, so you are definitely not too old for it.

Beckett

You think that you've won? You haven't. Everyone else has.

What do you mean, everyone else?

Beckett

Everyone who ever bullied you, who ever hurt you, belittled you, who ever thought you were weak and worthless and small. And you know what, Adam? They were right.

No they weren't. I am not any of those things.

Beckett

You're all of them, and worse.

[voice rising] I am what people made me.

Beckett

You were born this way, or your mummy made you. But Tim Witherspoon, and the rest of the kids at that school, they didn't break you. You were already broken. They only sensed what you were, and what you were about to become. So you know what? In a way, their bullying wasn't enough.

[close to tears] How can you say that? I'm the victim here.

Beckett

And you're always gonna be a victim. You think that hiding behind a username and killing is going to change that? That won't get you respect. You're always gonna be the same pathetic loser that...

[shouting] I am not a loser!

Beckett

And when you abducted Kent and Warren, I bet the two of them looked at each other and thought, "Are we being punked here?"

Believe me, they didn't.

Beckett

They think it's a joke.

They're afraid, they're - they're terrified by...

Beckett

They're sharing a laugh right now about you.

They are not laughing!

Castle

She just got him to say that they're together.

Beckett

They're laughing. They're laughing right now.

Well, not for long. That clock will count down to zero, and their screams will echo off the tiled walls as they take in their last breath of stale air, and then they'll both fry.

Tiled walls and stale air? That was how he talked about the locker room at his school.

Castle

Where Witherspoon put him on the video. He's bringing this thing full circle! What was the name of that high school?

Harding High. But they moved to a new campus. The original building is shut down.

Castle

[Hammers on screen] Beckett!

Beckett

I called your mother. She refused to come and get you.

Castle

Oh. Well, she always did believe in tough love.

Beckett

That doesn't seem to have worked out in your case.

Castle

You know, I keep trying to figure it out. How do you live with the man who's lost two months of his life and left you at the altar? How do I live with... the pain I know I've caused you? How do we get past this?

Beckett

I wish I knew.

Castle

I think I have the answer. We just do. So, Katherine Beckett, will you marry me?

Castle

Will you marry me right now?

Beckett

The moment that I met you, my life became extraordinary. You taught me to be my best self, to look forward to tomorrow's adventures, and when I was vulnerable you were strong. I love you, Richard Castle, and I want to live my life in the warmth of your smile and the strength of your embrace. I promise you I will love you. I will be your friend and your partner in crime and in life. Always.

Castle

The moment we met, my life became extraordinary. You taught me more about myself than I knew there was to learn. You are the joy in my heart. You are the last person I want to see every night before I close my eyes. I love you, Katherine Beckett, and the mystery of you is the one I want to spend the rest of my life exploring. I promise to love you, to be your friend and your partner in crime and life till death do us part, and for the time of our lives.

Castle

We gotta find this guy.

Beckett

But how? We're under cover. I can't just flash my badge and get people to talk.

Castle

Exactly. Which is why we don't approach this like cops. We approach this like writers.

Beckett

So we procrastinate and make stuff up?

Castle

But if Whitney was searching for the gold and the killer tracked her, there could be clues.

Beckett

You keep assuming that the gold's still out there. Don't forget, Clyde and Dutch were looking for it. They might have found it.

Castle

Not if they didn't have those old maps that Whitney had.

Beckett

You just wanna go after the gold.

Castle

Of course I wanna go after the gold! It's gold!

Beckett

[in a Western drawl] Hey there, cowboy. Where you off to in such a hurry?

Castle

Beckett, what are you doing? We're gonna miss our flight. You got to be in the office in the morning.

Beckett

No, I don't.

Castle

Yes, you do. You don't have any personal days left.

Beckett

Actually, I kinda do. For their wedding gift, Ryan and Esposito have both agreed to give me two of their vacation days each.

Castle

They did?

Beckett

Yeah. [Reeling Castle in] So now we have four days to do whatever... we... want.

Castle

And you want to stay here?

Beckett

[back to her normal voice] Of course I do. After all, this is our honeymoon. [They kiss]

Beckett

Oh, wait. We're gonna still go to that island getaway, right?

Castle

Yes, absolutely.

Beckett

Okay, right. [They kiss again as the end credits roll]

Castle

This feels different, doesn't it?

Beckett

What does?

Castle

Rolling up to a crime scene as a married couple. Like Nick and Nora Charles.

Beckett

Ooh, like MacMillan and wife.

Castle

Hart to Hart.

Beckett

Turner and Hooch.

Castle

Turner and Hooch aren't even married.

Beckett

Yeah, but you still remind me a little of Hooch.
