Castle quotes

I realize you consider yourself the adult of the family...

Alexis

For good reason.

For very good reason. But... but part of being an adult is realizing you can't always protect the people you love.

Alexis

Okay.

Okay.

Alexis

Being an adult really sucks.

Yeah. And you've spent way too much time having to be one. So... [steps out and comes back in with a scooter] I'm ordering you to be a kid.

Alexis

Don't you think I'm a little old for that?

I am not too old for it, so you are definitely not too old for it.

Beckett

You think that you've won? You haven't. Everyone else has.

What do you mean, everyone else?

Beckett

Everyone who ever bullied you, who ever hurt you, belittled you, who ever thought you were weak and worthless and small. And you know what, Adam? They were right.

No they weren't. I am not any of those things.

Beckett

You're all of them, and worse.

[voice rising] I am what people made me.

Beckett

You were born this way, or your mummy made you. But Tim Witherspoon, and the rest of the kids at that school, they didn't break you. You were already broken. They only sensed what you were, and what you were about to become. So you know what? In a way, their bullying wasn't enough.

[close to tears] How can you say that? I'm the victim here.

Beckett

And you're always gonna be a victim. You think that hiding behind a username and killing is going to change that? That won't get you respect. You're always gonna be the same pathetic loser that...

[shouting] I am not a loser!

Beckett

And when you abducted Kent and Warren, I bet the two of them looked at each other and thought, "Are we being punked here?"

Believe me, they didn't.

Beckett

They think it's a joke.

They're afraid, they're - they're terrified by...

Beckett

They're sharing a laugh right now about you.

They are not laughing!

Castle

She just got him to say that they're together.

Beckett

They're laughing. They're laughing right now.

Well, not for long. That clock will count down to zero, and their screams will echo off the tiled walls as they take in their last breath of stale air, and then they'll both fry.

Tiled walls and stale air? That was how he talked about the locker room at his school.

Castle

Where Witherspoon put him on the video. He's bringing this thing full circle! What was the name of that high school?

Harding High. But they moved to a new campus. The original building is shut down.

Castle

[Hammers on screen] Beckett!

Castle

It's like It's A Wonderful Life. Every time your phone rings, a victim gets their wings.

Beckett

I called your mother. She refused to come and get you.

Castle

Oh. Well, she always did believe in tough love.

Beckett

That doesn't seem to have worked out in your case.

Castle

You know, I keep trying to figure it out. How do you live with the man who's lost two months of his life and left you at the altar? How do I live with... the pain I know I've caused you? How do we get past this?

Beckett

I wish I knew.

Castle

I think I have the answer. We just do. So, Katherine Beckett, will you marry me?

Castle

Will you marry me right now?

Beckett

The moment that I met you, my life became extraordinary. You taught me to be my best self, to look forward to tomorrow's adventures, and when I was vulnerable you were strong. I love you, Richard Castle, and I want to live my life in the warmth of your smile and the strength of your embrace. I promise you I will love you. I will be your friend and your partner in crime and in life. Always.

Castle

The moment we met, my life became extraordinary. You taught me more about myself than I knew there was to learn. You are the joy in my heart. You are the last person I want to see every night before I close my eyes. I love you, Katherine Beckett, and the mystery of you is the one I want to spend the rest of my life exploring. I promise to love you, to be your friend and your partner in crime and life till death do us part, and for the time of our lives.

Lanie

I am your maid of honor. I haven't had a carb in months just in case I had to put that damn dress back on.

Beckett

And you look great.

Lanie

Kate, save the flattery. You owe me dinner. I'm picking the restaurant and we're ordering all the desserts.

Gates

I'm sorry. Without the sheriff's cooperation, there's only so much we can do.

Beckett

So, we're just gonna let him get away with this?

Esposito

Kind of like how we let you get away with not inviting us to the wedding?

Gates

Well, at least you were invited to the champagne toast.

Beckett

Sorry, sir.

Gates

Oh, no, no, no. I'm sure it was Mr. Castle's fault.

Castle

I don't know if it comes with the room, but there's a naked cowboy shaving in our bathroom.

Castle

We gotta find this guy.

Beckett

But how? We're under cover. I can't just flash my badge and get people to talk.

Castle

Exactly. Which is why we don't approach this like cops. We approach this like writers.

Beckett

So we procrastinate and make stuff up?

Castle

But if Whitney was searching for the gold and the killer tracked her, there could be clues.

Beckett

You keep assuming that the gold's still out there. Don't forget, Clyde and Dutch were looking for it. They might have found it.

Castle

Not if they didn't have those old maps that Whitney had.

Beckett

You just wanna go after the gold.

Castle

Of course I wanna go after the gold! It's gold!

Gates

I think the two of you should stop whining like two little schoolgirls who weren't invited to the dance and be happy that your friends, your very dear friends, have found a way to make it work. Especially after all the hell those two have been through.

Beckett

[in a Western drawl] Hey there, cowboy. Where you off to in such a hurry?

Castle

Beckett, what are you doing? We're gonna miss our flight. You got to be in the office in the morning.

Beckett

No, I don't.

Castle

Yes, you do. You don't have any personal days left.

Beckett

Actually, I kinda do. For their wedding gift, Ryan and Esposito have both agreed to give me two of their vacation days each.

Castle

They did?

Beckett

Yeah. [Reeling Castle in] So now we have four days to do whatever... we... want.

Castle

And you want to stay here?

Beckett

[back to her normal voice] Of course I do. After all, this is our honeymoon. [They kiss]

Beckett

Oh, wait. We're gonna still go to that island getaway, right?

Castle

Yes, absolutely.

Beckett

Okay, right. [They kiss again as the end credits roll]

Castle

This feels different, doesn't it?

Beckett

What does?

Castle

Rolling up to a crime scene as a married couple. Like Nick and Nora Charles.

Beckett

Ooh, like MacMillan and wife.

Castle

Hart to Hart.

Beckett

Turner and Hooch.

Castle

Turner and Hooch aren't even married.

Beckett

Yeah, but you still remind me a little of Hooch.

Esposito

You have to turn back, Jared, because if you don't, here's what's going to happen. HRT, that's the Hostage Rescue Team, they're going to wait for you to get weak and tired, then a dozen highly trained guys armed to the teeth will breach this car, and trust me when I tell you they will not play.
