Kate Beckett quotes from Castle

Beckett

[Lowered voice] What are you doing here?

Castle

Me? What am I doing? What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to town?

Beckett

I was gonna surprise you.

Castle

Well done.

Castle

You know it must be weird for you, being back here at the precinct, working a case.

Beckett

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

Castle

Yeah, especially since McCord's little gag order prevents you from accessing your most effective investigative tool. [Hands her a cup of latte] Me.

Beckett

[Taking the cup] Yeah, you are a tool, all right. Wow.

Castle

So, uh, she's not here right now, so what's the harm in giving me a little tidbit?

Beckett

This is a bribe. Castle, you're bribing me with a latte?

Castle

No, I am not. Come on. Don't be ridiculous.

Beckett

This is low, even for you.

Castle

Look, I can solve this. I just need a little more to go on.

Beckett

Castle, you're not gonna "Castle" me on this one.

Castle

Playing the anonymous source card? I mean, that is pure genius. It-it actually makes me love you more.

Beckett

Well, she's filing for asylum, and the State Department's gonna help relocate her, so, hopefully that'll keep her safe.

Castle

Yeah, but even working for the feds, you found the ultimate way to honor the victim. Charlie died trying to get Svetlana away from her dangerous family. You completed his mission.

Beckett

Yeah, but you would've done the same thing, Castle.

Castle

Yes. Yes, and I would love me more for doing it too.

Beckett

Castle. Are you asleep?

Castle

Yes.

Beckett

Then why did you answer me?

Castle

I'm sleep-talking. Also known as somniloquy. Just ignore me.

Beckett

I don't know what to do.

Castle

I have some ideas.

Beckett

No, Castle, I'm talking about my life. I don't know what to do about my life. I haven't been out of work since I was 15. I cannot believe that the FBI fired me, and I can't get my job back at the NYPD because of the commissioner's stupid hiring freeze. I might as well just apply to become a mall cop.

Castle

Ooh. You would look great on a Segway. You know, Beckett, you don't have to decide right away.

Beckett

Come on, Castle. What are you saying? What am I gonna do, just sleep in every morning and screw around until the phone rings? What kind of life is that?

Castle

Mine.

Beckett

(realizing) Sorry.

Castle

I just mean that, you're with me, now. You don't have to work.

Beckett

I don't need to work? Does that mean you're my...sugar daddy?

Castle

Oh. Hold on, that didn't...come out...actually, I'm still sleep-talking. I can't really be held responsible for whatever I say.

[Bursting into the room without knocking] Wow, even when you're fighting you two are super cute.

Castle

Pi...

Morning Mr. C, Mrs. C-to-be

...And then we'll put a plan together. All you have to do is talk.

Beckett

Well, if there's one thing you excel at, Castle, it's talking.

So we're gonna need a code word that tells us that you need help. What, uh...What's your favorite food.

Castle

Oh. Um... Are we talking everyday food or fine dining? If desserts are included, there's-

Beckett

Cheeseburgers. He loves cheeseburgers.

Castle

I do enjoy a good cheeseburger.

All units: Full breach! Go go go!

Oh my god, I killed Richard Castle!

We're gonna need the EMT right away! Let's go!

Beckett

[Kneeling over Castle] Castle?

Castle

Cheeseburgers! Cheeseburgers... How much worth ... [Pointing at the bulletproof vest] She dotted the I!

Beckett

Yes! [hugging Castle]

Castle

Aaah! Chest! Ouch, that hurts!

Beckett

Yeah, well, getting hit by a projectile travelling at a thousand feet per seconds can ... sting a bit...

Castle

Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark...

Beckett

All that matters is you're OK now...

Castle

Oh, I'm better than OK Beckett, I know who the killer is!

You ordered Aron Stokes in for questioning? Are you serious?

Esposito

You told us to build our case, and Mr. Stokes is where it went.

This is a very powerful man who happens to be golfing-buddies with the police Commissioner.

Castle

So because he has a standing tee time with your boss, he gets away with murder?

I'm handling the interview

Ryan

What? No, sir, this is our case...

Yes, and it will be your jobs if there's any blowback. I am not gonna have you two risk your careers.

Kate

Captain, I don't have a career to risk. How about I back you up in there?

Okay...

Castle

Captain, I too have no career to risk, why don't I ... [Gates sharply looks at him with her arms akimbo] maybe I should ... you know, I'm gonna do is I'm gonna stay here, I think you guys got this handled...

Castle

[Glossing over his bulletproof vest] Wow. And to think you boys mocked me when I had this made four years ago. I think I'll have it framed.

Ryan

Hey, what does it say about your writing when your number one fan tries to kill you?

Castle

That was an accident.

Esposito

Been one inch high, it would've been a tragedy.

Castle

But on the bright side, your autographed copies of Deadly Heat would be worth way more.

Beckett

Not funny, Castle.

Castle

Little bit funny.

Beckett

Listen, I'm kinda looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you so...don't do anything stupid in there, okay?

Castle

Don't worry. I think I already hit my stupid quota for the day

Lanie

Girl, what are you doing here?

Beckett

Uh, Captain Gates said that I could come.

Lanie

That's not what I meant. Shouldn't you be off looking at wedding venues or something?

Beckett

No, we haven't even set a date. We're just trying to enjoy our engagement. Why is everyone trying to rush us?

Ryan

You think you're being rushed now, wait until after the wedding. About ten minutes from the altar, they'll all be like "When are you two having a baby?"

Esposito

Well your wife's home alone because she's pregnant. What's your excuse?

Beckett

What happening?

Lanie

Lot of weirdos out there with too much imagination is what happened. And yes, I'm looking at you, Castle.

Castle

Yeah, except I only commit my murders on paper. Don't actually do them. A lot more lucrative, a lot less prison.

Look, after the bloody energy wars of 2031, funneling

Castle

Energy wars!

Yeah, you know fascists control the power, trying to control the world's energy supply for a select few - don't worry, we defeat them - turns out, that one of these new sources of power is a tachyon generator as it opens doors in time-stream continuum, allowing us to travel back in time! But of course because of the possibilty of abuse, it was technically regulated against, secret from the public...

Beckett

We have a witness that saw you leaving Shauna Taylor's apartment shortly after she was killed...

I'm getting to that - look, I'm a temporal anthropologist. What we do is travel back in time and we study culturally significant eras - ancient Egypt, middle ages, man I've been to Nazi Germany!

Castle

Aren't you worried about the Butterfly Effect, a slightly change in something in the past thus altering the future?

No, we're careful. The timestream is mostly self-correcting, you know? Any small changes like a little ripple [...] [snipping his fingers] doesn't matter, but if someone wants do do something big, if someonebody wants to do something massive, then yes, of course, you're damn right you can change the future! And by the way, that's exactly what just happened!

Beckett

[on the phone] This is Detective Beckett, got a suspect at large, I'm gonna need patrol sweeps of the area along with a full CSU team at the scene.

Real trauma, that one - can't believe you married her...

Castle

How did you know I marry her?

One of your book jackets: you know, "Richard Castle lives in New York with his wife Senator Beckett and three children"

Castle

Senator...

Beckett

[turns around astounded] Three kids?!?

Beckett

Who the hell is Paul Deschile?

Ryan

He's a 21-year old at Hudson getting his post-doc in theoretical physics

Beckett

Alright, get him into protective custody!

Ryan

He's on leave this semester, the university has no idea where he is, so in turn look for his parents...

[agitated] Detective, it's him! Deschile!

Castle

You know him?

[still agitated] Of course I know him, everyone knows him! Oh man, if he's killed...

Beckett

Yah, OK, I'll call you back - Doyle, sit down!

No wonder billions of people die...

Castle

Hey, who the hell is Paul Deschile?

[getting really agitated] The energy wars I told you about! The other side, a group of fascists, they were worse than the Nazis, the..they were slaughtering people by the ten-thousands, Okay? They were winning, until Deschile! He and his team they, they created an energy shield which was able to stop their weapons and completely turn the tide! Detective, listen to me! Ward is still obviously fighting for the fascists! They're trying to win the war by re-writing history! If he kills Deschile, there will be no energy shield, and without that energy shield, we lose that war! Ward's gonna kill Deschile, and that is why billions of people die!

Beckett

OK, we don't have time for this - take him to holding, please...
