“The Squab and the Quail” quotes from Castle

Castle

Looks as though you two were enjoying yourselves.

Beckett

Castle...

Castle

What about pajamas? Homely flannel or skimpy sleep shorts?

Beckett

Oh, my gosh, you're sounding like my dad dropping me off at summer camp.

Castle

Did they serve champagne at your summer camp?

Beckett

I was being polite. Castle, do you think I want this? Do you think I asked to be here?

Castle

I think you're making the best of it.

Beckett

You know I would rather be with you.

Castle

Well, then maybe I should stay. We could protect him together.

Beckett

No, I am not letting you do this. I'm not letting you turn this investigation into some kind of a *twisted* competition. Look, don't make this harder than it needs to be. Please.

Castle

Okay. But only because you said please.

Beckett

It's gonna be fine.

I know it is. I've worked with the best and you'd run circles around any of them. Before your first cup of coffee... I feel completely safe in your care.

Beckett

After knowing me for just two days?

No, after knowing you for two minutes.

You know, that’s an extraordinary woman you have there.

Castle

I know.

Do you?

Beckett

[answers phone] Hey, Lanie. What's up?

Lanie

[on phone] Your cause of death. The poison was a chemically synthesized weaponized agent, similar to the organic compound saxitoxin.

Beckett

Saxitoxin?

Lanie

Mm-hmm. It usually occurs in shellfish, but not this version. Whoever created this had access to a pretty sophisticated lab. And this one's been supercharged. Speaking of supercharged, is it true that you're with Eric Vaughn? I mean, Kate, I know you love Castle and all, but girlfriend...

Beckett

Bye, Lanie. [hangs up]

Gates

Okay, I spoke with the Commissioner, and he's agreed to provide Vaughn with a protective detail.

Beckett

Uh, great. I actually have a few uniforms that I'd like to recommend for duty.

Gates

No. Mr. Vaughn has requested you.

Castle

He what now?

Beckett

Sir, I'm a homicide detective, not some bodyguard.

Gates

Trust me, I know. But this comes directly from the Commissioner.

Castle

Then why doesn't Vaughn just hire a private army? He can afford that.

Gates

I don't know why, Mr. Castle. I just know what my orders are. He wants Detective Beckett, and only Beckett. [turns and leaves]

Castle

Can he even do that?

Beckett

I think he just did.
