McCord quotes from Castle

Beckett

Thank you, for not saying anything about Castle.

Look, when I was a year out of Quantico, I was busting my ass on this case, my first big chance. We'd been going at it straight for a month, and I really wanted to let off some steam, so I went to a bar, and I picked up a guy, and I took him home. Next morning he says, "Who's Scofield?" Scofield was the subject of our highly classified investigation.

Beckett

You talked in your sleep.

That's this job. Things happen. You better make sure they only happen once.

You know what the hardest thing about this job is?

Beckett

What?

Knowing when to stop doing this job.

You want a coffee?

Castle

Ah, no. I’d rather die than drink any more of that sludge. [McCord makes a face and Castle winces] Too soon?

You want everything to be black or white, I get it. But, in this town, it rarely is, and to do this job, you’re going to have to make peace with that. But hey, that was a hell of a hunch about Mrs. Reed. [Beckett stands up and McCord follows] You should feel really good about this.

Beckett

Yeah, well that was Castle.

But you were smart enough to act on it. That was your call

Beckett

And you backed me up without even knowing my play.

That’s what partners do. [Turns and walks away]

Beckett

[Turning back to the emergency room] Yeah. That’s what partners do.
