[Explaining why they should continue ad-hoc play rehearsal]
If it's a hit, who knows how long it could run? Then I could take it on the road.
You mean you'd leave us?
Well, only for nine months of the year. [noticing Alexis' concerned expression] Oh, don't look so sad. [noticing Castle's dreamy expression] And, you, don't look so happy.
[Beckett and Castle working to learn the victim's identity and where she might have been]
Well, she's tall, she's gorgeous, 10 pounds underweight. Her hair is fried, she's wearing too much eye makeup. She's a model. Which means she was probably at a club last night. It is, after all, Fashion Week, when all the hottest women in the world descend upon the hippest nightspots like locusts. Only, locusts eat.
Castle, hey, is your, your girl here?
Rina.
Rina used to baby-sit Alexis, fellas. So, as far as Big Rick here is concerned, she might as well be wearing a chastity belt.
Thank you for that visual image. That's… And also, thank you for calling me "Big Rick".
[Castle discovers why Beckett was upset with him]
Wait, is that why you've been so upset? Because I let her [Cosmo reporter] read it before you?
I am the inspiration. I should be reading it before a reporter does.
Why didn't you just say so?
Why didn't you just give it to me?
Why didn't you ask?
Why didn't it occur to you?
[Brief pause, and then he realizes she has a point]
You'll have it by tomorrow.
Good.
Good.
[After Castle leaves, Beckett turns on her computer, only to find a snapshot of her modeling for tennis agency]
Looking good, Detective Beckett.
[Looks over and sees Ryan and Esposito grinning at her.]
How did you guys…
We're detectives.
Called your dad.
[Rising up and walking over to them] Okay, okay, you guys have had your fun. I was 17 and I thought that modeling would be an easier way to make money than waitressing.
Right.
It was one summer, no big deal. [Turns and walks away, but snaps her fingers and turns back] And if you guys tell Castle about this, I will kill you.
