She grew up so fast.
Well, what do you expect? Her to live here forever?
Well, her, yes. You...
Watch it.

How do you do it, dad?
CCastle
Do what?
Well, that letter that you have framed in your office.
CCastle
[fondly] My first manuscript rejection.
Yeah. How can you stand having it there?
CCastle
Because it drives me. And I got twenty more of those before Black Pawn ever agreed to publish In a Hail of Bullets. That letter... that letter reminds me of what I've overcome. Rejection isn't failure.
It sure feels like failure.
CCastle
No, failure is giving up. Everybody gets rejected. It's how you handle it that determines where you'll end up.
My whole life has been about making sure I could get into any college I wanted. What's it about now?
CCastle
Give it time. You'll figure it out.
Yo, Ryan, 'sup man, where you been?
Down at the college running down that break-in in Hamilton's office. So listen to this- (looks down at the desk) What the hell is this?
That, my friend, is Beau Randolph's alibi.
A dead pigeon?
CSU found it on the roof of his building with a slug on his belly from his .45.
Seriously? Randolph really did come up there, huh?
Just writing him up for animal cruelty right now.
Maybe there's still time to cryogenically freeze the little guy…
What about the victim? Any closer to an ID?
Based on blood, Dr. Parish determined that our victim is a male, so we’re looking for missing persons reports of men in that area.
Men? You’ve narrowed the victim pool down to men?
[Beckett tries to respond, but can’t]
Uh, well, in New York City, that actually eliminates over four million women, so…
[Gates glares stonily at him]
Mr. Castle, I don’t know what the mayor sees in you, but I know how you’re alike. He’s term-limited. [walks away]
Maybe if I sent her flowers-
No. No.
Where do you start when you don’t know who the victim is?
You… [frowns] Ah, you know you could… [stops trying and sighs]
We really need to find the body, don’t we?
Yeah, pretty much.
