This is... the best thing that has ever happened to you. Rejection is the bedrock of a great acting career. Until an actor has suffered, he hasn't really lived.
Thanks, gram.
You're welcome. And besides, auditions are like men. There's another one right around the corner.
Ladies, I am not a stripper. Though I can understand how you'd make that mistake.
Castle?
(He's surrounded by women.) Hey, honey. Oh, you found me. I was just telling Denise here about you. (The women start to disperse.) This is, uh, my girlfriend, who's idea it was to come here tonight. She's very adventurous, you have no idea... there's... (The women leave. Kate sits down.) Thank God you found me. Oh, my God, these women are like piranhas.
Rick Castle: I can't believe you got dressed up for this. Tell me again why Ryan and Esposito couldn't come with you.
Kate Beckett: We all agreed, as Volunteer Assistant Homicide Detective you could really sink your teeth into this avenue of investigation. And they called "not it."
Rick Castle: You know, ever since I've been following you, I've been dreaming of the day that you'd say, "Let's go to the strip club and get this dirt bag." I just never imagined it would feel like this.
Kate Beckett: Let me know if you need any singles.
Kevin Ryan: Hans was right. We found a flower shop that confirmed weekly deliveries for the past four months.
Rick Castle: I knew if we beat on Mannschaft something would pop.
Kate Beckett: Who were they sent to?
Kevin Ryan: They were charged to an AmEx belonging to Rebecca Dalton, 48. She lives at 63rd and Madison.
Javier Esposito: Yo. Check this out. Fortune 500 lists Rebecca Dalton's husband as having a publishing empire in 2005. Says here that Rebecca used to be a runway model.
Rick Castle: She's married. Juicy.
Javier Esposito: Not anymore. Her husband died a couple of years ago, left his entire fortune to his grieving wife.
Rick Castle: Even more juicy. Rebecca marries young, spends her twenties and thirties under the thumb of a rich yet domineering husband. Well, he dies, leaving our aging beauty finally freed from the shackles of a loveless marriage. One night, she's out with her ex-model posse. She meets a very charming, very handsome Derek. For the first time in years, she feels alive again. The relationship reaches its inevitable conclusion when Derek meets someone closer to his own age. Well, the heartache has Rebecca so distraught that she kills Derek in a jealous rage. If she couldn't have him, well, then no one could.
Kevin Ryan: Did you go home and watch Sunset Boulevard before your little trip to The Package Store?
Kate Beckett: Thank you for your always entertaining stories, but I think we will get a lot closer to the truth if we just ask Rebecca a few questions tomorrow morning.
Rick Castle: It's good though, right?
Kevin Ryan: Yeah, I liked it.
