Why do you writers always call them "perps?"
Isn't that what you call them?
Ah, we've got a whole lot of names for them. Pipehead, pisshead, orc, creep...
...crook, knucklehead, chucklehead...
...skexy, slicko, slick...
[writing in notepad] Slow down, slow down!
Suspects. We call them suspects.
I'm old-school. I like "dirtbag."
[shouting over Beckett's gunfire] Wouldn't it be more of a challenge if they weren't standing still?!
[stops shooting] OK Castle, you show me how it's done.
All yours. [Castle clears his throat as he takes a one handed stance with his right hand] It's not a duel, Scaramouche. [Beckett turns Castle around] Here. Square off of the target. Feet shoulder distance apart. OK, gauntlet your right fist in your left palm.
[Castle accidentally fires into the wall] Oh! Shot too soon.
Yeah, well, you know we could always just cuddle, Castle.
Oh, funny, and a smile. Good. [Castle fires again, missing the target]
[sounding dubious] Well, that's better.
Hmm. You know I, uh, came down to ask you if I could, uhh, take home some of those stolen property photos.
Photos of the jewellery? Why?
I dunno, I just thought it might spark something. [shoots again, hitting the target in the groin area] Oooh! That kinda hurt!
Tell you what. You put any of the next three in the ten ring and I will give you the files.
[Castle quickly fires three shots right in the 10 ring. Beckett stares at the target, stunned, then glares at Castle.]
[smugly] You're a very good teacher.
