Kate Beckett quotes from Castle

Beckett

And while Castle's downloading, I'll track the signal using the Wi-Fi analyzer on my phone.

Martha

You can find a spy on your phone?

Castle

Mother, there's an app for everything now.

Esposito

Hey Castle, looks like your lovelife made the paper again...

Castle

Ah, what? Alright, alright, who am I gonna hook up with now?

Ryan

[Reading an article in the paper] Novelist Richard Castle and New York Police detective Katherine Beckett, both native New Yorkers, are pleased to announce their engagement.

Castle

No, nah, nonononono, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't do this...

Beckett

[Coming forward] Actually, I did.

Castle

I thought you...

Beckett

I know Castle, I like my privacy, but I do realize that you're somewhat famous...

Castle

[Indignantly] Somewhat?

Beckett

Yes, and if we're gonna be together, I have to come to terms with that. And if they're gonna write about you, I want it to be the truth, I want it to be about us. [Hugging Castle]

Castle

Well, there's no one that... [Esposito and Ryan grinning in the background, waiting for Castle and Beckett to kiss, Castle giving them the looks, they turn away] There's no one I'd rather share a headline with, but just for the interest of accuracy, let's see if we are getting married in space?

Beckett

No, it's not gonna happen babe...

Castle

[looking disappointed] Be pretty fun, space...

Castle

Mother, what are you trying to force on my lovely fiancée?

Martha

No, no, no, no, no. I am just trying to expose Katherine to the glorious world of wedding magazines.

Beckett

They are all very girly, with a lot of gauzy photos of love-struck brides looking off into the distance.

Castle

Perhaps they're contemplating the 50% divorce rate.

Beckett

Do you regret it? That prank, missing your prom, not being here with Audra Dobson?

Castle

Not even a little bit. Everything I've ever done, every choice I've ever made, every terrible and wonderful thing that's ever happened to me, has all led me to right here, this moment, with you.

Ryan

...but I did find out about our victim through his personal website.

Beckett

He's got his own website?

Ryan

Yeah, he's an actor. A struggling one, judging by his credits.

Castle

Justin Marquette is "a member of the Roster Theater Company" and is "currently appearing in their off-off-off-Broadway production of Checkhov's Platonov." That's a lot of "offs."

Castle

What if their lives intersect, just not in such a literal sense?

Beckett

Castle, no, please. If this is some alternate universe theory, I'm not in the mood.

Castle

Really. Alternate universe, that's how little you think of me.

Beckett

I'm sorry. I... I'm sorry, I just, I thought that...

Castle

No, they're psychically linked, and not just to each other, but to the actual killer. See, they've seen the crime through his or her eyes, and the experience is so visceral that both Sam and Anita think that they committed the crime themselves.

Beckett

[giggles] I'm sorry, it's just you got excited, it's kind of cute.

Castle

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know how I like the weird stuff.

Beckett

Tell me what this is all about.

Castle

Not until I know I'm right. Which... I am. You should know, you're engaged to a genius.

Beckett

Yes, a genius at annoying me.

Castle

So, I'm Justin, and you are one of these several people who shot me.

Beckett

I'm starting to feel the urge

Castle

See what happens when I leave you alone?

Beckett

Babe, I wasn't alone. When they were interrogating me, the only thing that kept me going was thinking about you, about our future, the wedding. You were with me the whole time.

Castle

It looks like she was stabbed with a knife.

To the untrained eye, perhaps, but what you don't know about post-mortem analysis could fill a book, Mr. Castle. In fact, it has. Numerous times.

Castle

Fine. So, it was not a knife.

Ah, wrong again. It was a knife, but "stabbed" implies the blade was thrust into the victim, whereas this wound was produced by it being hurled into her chest.

Beckett

What is this, Last of the Mohicans?

Castle

I was about to make that phone call, and that's when the ninjas attacked!

Beckett

You've got an excuse for everything, don't you?

[About Beckett] I mean, have you ever seen a cop with an ass that fine? If this does women's lib, I'm all for it!

Beckett

[indignantly] Excuse me?!?

Castle

To be fair, you do have a very fine ... nevermind ...

Alexis

Oh, my gosh. Did you really beat Dad at Scrabble?

I concede nothing. Except that I need more coffee.

Martha

That is quite an accomplishment, young lady. Nobody beats him, ever.

Beckett

Oh, yeah. He's mentioned that. Repeatedly.

Martha

Ah, how the mighty have fallen. [Pours him coffee]

"Richard Castle. One word short." I cannot allow this to be my epitaph.

I saw that.

Beckett

Whoa! Nice tail whip!

Castle

Oh, so you know the lingo. Any extreme sports in your history I've yet to hear about?

Beckett

Well, I think catching killers is pretty extreme. And then there's marrying you.

Castle

Ah, yes. I admit I am extreme. Extremely handsome.

Beckett

Yeah. With a high degree of difficulty.

Beckett

Castle, aren't there more important things than winning?

Castle

Oh, that's a notion created to comfort those who lose.

Beckett

Hey! So, uhm, where's your mom?

Castle

Ah, she and Alexis went to dinner and a midnight sing-a-long with Grease, why?

Beckett

Cause, I'm ready for a rematch! [Tossing the stones from the table]

Castle

Why did you do that?

Beckett

New game: Poker!

Castle

You wanna play Poker against me?

Beckett

Strip Poker!

Castle

I'll deal! [Later, clothes laying on the couch] Your bet!

Beckett

I think I'm gonna go All In!

Castle

Me too! But, all I have left for bet with is this shirt.

Beckett

I'll take that bet - what have you got?

Castle

Who cares? [Both throw away the cards and start kissing] This is so much better than Scrabble!

Beckett

Yeah...
