You were a girl once.
[Smirks] Still am...
[Holding up a picture of Alexis sitting on a Vespa ] Can you tell me why my daughter wants one of these so badly?
Old bikes are what girls want when we realize we're never gonna get a pony.
S3 E3Under the Gun
[About Alexis wanting a scooter] You know what this means, though?
No. What?
Well, Alexis is entering her "wild child" phase.
[Smiles indulgently] My daughter? Hah, I don't think so.
Oh yeah, Castle, all girls go through it. And the good girls are the worst.
[Castle's smile slides off his face]
RRandom
I wasn't running away! I was jogging.
So what were you doing climbing down the side of a building?
RRandom
Uh, Cross-training. [Nods sagely] Better cardiovascular workout.
Did you kill Carver for the map?
Oh, come on, kid, you know me better than that.
[Coldly, hurt] I don't think I do. Because the man I knew wouldn't betray me like this.
I gotta go.
Mike. I was in love with you.
Oh, Kate. Don't.
You were the only one who understood the obsession that drove me. Who didn't tell me that I would get over my mother's murder and that she wouldn't want me to do this.
[Shaking his head, sadly] Just -- just trying to do right by you, kid.
I dreamt about you. The night I shot the guy that killed my mother, I dreamt that I was the one who was on the ground dying, and that you came up to me and told me to stand up, 'cause there was still work to be done. [Longingly] When I woke up that morning I just wanted to call you, but we hadn't talked in so long.
You should've called. I never forgot.
I'm going to catch Carver's killer, Royce. And then I'm going to recover Lloyd's score. And when I arrest you, you're going to realize that what you destroyed today was worth a hell of a lot more than money. [She hangs up. Speaks to Ryan, suddenly distant, and unemotional] Did I keep him on long enough?
[Shocked] Uh, uh...
Yeah, we got an address.
All right, let's go.
Wh-what? All of that was just an act, to get a trace?
Of course. [She turns and walks out, her face contorting with silent tears]
[Beckett finds a bug in the victim’s calculator]
A wireless RF transmitter, to be precise. Not to be confused with the more advanced infrared signal burst device.
Book research?
Nanny Cam.
[Searching for the suspects in a cemetery]
You know, if this were a horror movie, we’d be the first ones killed, splitting off like this.
Yeah, except we are not a couple of top-heavy coeds out looking for fun. We’re highly trained officers of the law with enough firepower to take out a horde of undead.
Hispanic and cocky. Yeah, you’d definitely die first.
[A standoff at the cemetery…]
Well, then maybe we should make sure the treasure’s even there before we start shooting. Castle, do you mind?
Why me?
‘Cause you’re the only one without a gun.
[Looks around at everyone else] Good point.
S3 E4Punked
He didn't kill Goldstein, but he did kill squirrel-stein. [Holds up a dead squirrel] What're the odds, huh?
Oh no, they took his clothes too!
Could you...? [hands dead squirrel to officer]
Awwwww!
Yeah I know, I'm sorry.
Wonder what's up with Alexis. She seems a little out of it.
Isn't it obvious?
What?
Oh, she's in love.
Alexis?
Oh, come on, darling. In case you haven't noticed, she's not a little girl anymore.
Thank you, mother. I think if Alexis were in love she would've told me.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. The fact that she hasn't told you is how we know it's real.
[Warningly] Mother.
Okay. And the fact that she mentioned it to me last night.
Who is he? Where did she meet him?
Oh, I don't know. She wouldn't say. No, diva's honour. She didn't tell me anything. She didn't even tell me his name.
[Sulkily] Can't believe she told you and not me. I'm supposed to be her go-to guy.
Oh, darling, of course you are. It's just, you know, it's first love. It's magical, ethereal. It defies logic.
[Castle's phone rings. He ignores it, still sulking]
Richard, your phone.
[He shrugs] Mmm.
[Picks it up] Ah, Beckett. Maybe it's a nice murder, darling. Brighten your day.
[Castle starts to smile]
Good boy.
[Answers] Castle.
So, I wear boxers. What do you wear? Thong? Cheekies? I told you mine! Bloomers? Granny panties? [Eyes opening wide] Commando?
How do you know you're in love?
All the songs make sense.
[ as the suspect runs away] Quick! He's heading for the time machine!
[Trying to identify the gun with the aid of an expert in antique guns]
And how many people would own that kind of antique pistol?
ASAbe Sandrich
They’re considered collectibles, so they don’t have to be registered.
Making it pretty smart to kill someone with one.
AAbe
Oh, yeah. Guns may be old, but they got plenty of killing left in ‘em
S3 E5Anatomy of Murder
Are you getting mail here now?
Only when I don't want my daughter to see it. [opens the envelope to show 2 tickets for Taylor Swift concert] Laa...
You're a Taylor Swift fan?
They are for Alexis. Cost me an arm and a leg, but Alexis will be thrilled. Apparently she and Ash have a song.
Yeah, well we have a song as well.
We do?
Uhuh. "You talk too much" by Clarence Carter.
That was a nice thing you guys did in there.
Well, I just thought that after everything Greg did for her, they deserve a chance. Besides, if it were you and I in Amy's shoes, we'd still be rotting in prison.
Huh, speak for yourself, bro. I'd escape.
What, you'd just leave me in there?
It's the law of the jungle. I gotta look out for numero uno.
Wow. Nothing like a hypothetical prison term to let you know who your friends really are.
Don't worry Castle, I'd get you out.
