Kate Beckett quotes from Castle

Beckett

I did not expect that.

Castle

Unexpected is her speciality

Beckett

Oh, God, shoot me now.

Castle

I'd rather not. What's up?

Beckett

Anson Klemp has just been promoted to captain. He's gonna run the 92.

Castle

Who is Anson Klemp, and why hasn't he changed his name?

Beckett

Patterson Syndrome?

Castle

Yeah. Every time I write a bestseller, Patterson writes, like, six. It's maddening, but comparing myself to him does not make me write any faster.

Beckett

So, uh, team leader, a wife, a mom. It's it a struggle to do it all?

The trick is to not struggle, but to find balance. The moment you think it's a struggle, that's when you fall.

Beckett

Well, whatever's next, I don't want to compromise my priorities to get there. And I never want to be guilty of leaving behind what matters most.

Castle

You cannot leave behind what is always at your side.

Beckett

Hey... did you just make that up?

Castle

Yeah, why?

Beckett

You are so much better than Patterson.

Beckett

What is this? What are you guys doing?

Castle

Ah. Well, Ryan was working all night, and he texted me.

Beckett

You texted Castle and not me?

Ryan

Well, when you have a crazy theory, you don't call the voice of reason.

Castle

Can I just say, I know I have occasionally theorized that a conspiracy was afoot...

Beckett

Occasionally?

Castle

But this time a conspiracy really is afoot!

Beckett

You know, she's [Alexis] got an amazing brain. I mean, if she wanted to, she'd make an incredible lawyer.

Castle

Yeah, like I don't lose enough arguments to her already.

Castle

Look, about the routine, I know you're worried, but-

Beckett

It's okay, Castle. It doesn't matter what we do.

Castle

Hey, that's the spirit!

Beckett

It gonna be a disaster.

Castle

That's not the spirit.

Beckett

But, Castle, why would you be abducted on our wedding day and end up in Thailand?

Castle

Worst bachelor party ever?

Beckett

...Now, L.T. is gonna drive you home.

Castle

And if I refuse?

Beckett

Then he'll drive you home in handcuffs.

Castle

Just for the record, extremely bitter.

Castle

I am so sorry, Kate, for everything I put you through.

Beckett

Babe, it's not like you were partying in Thailand. You have the best excuse ever for missing our wedding. You were saving the world.

Beckett

You gotta be kidding me. The air marshal is dead?

Castle

Not just dead, but bonked on the head. Murdered. And there's more.

Beckett

There's more?

Castle

Kyle Ford's holster is empty. His gun is missing.

Beckett

Okay, so, uh, we have to assume that the killer is armed.

Castle

And they may have another agenda, taking hostages, hijacking the plane, FYI, this is not the relaxing London getaway I had planned.

Beckett

No, it's okay. I mean, we're gonna manage. It's just, your mom's kind of...

Castle

Annoying? Yeah, I know. Trust me, we're getting off easy. One time, her opening line was, "Come on, baby. I'll make it worth your while".

Beckett

[chuckling] Oh, I see what you mean.

Castle

Yeah. Most awkward parent-teacher conference ever.

Beckett

Oh, come on, Castle. He was flirting with me. I can't control that.

Castle

But you were flirting right back.

Beckett

Yeah, but what was I supposed to do? He's Danny-freaking-Valentine!
