Richard Castle: He's like the male you. Yin needs Yang, not another Yin. Yin-Yang is harmony. Yin-Yin is... a name for a panda.
Kate Beckett: Any more wisdom, Obi-Wan?

[Beckett and Castle find the plastic surgeon's office; she and Castle walk past a well-endowed woman; Castle stares]
Well, this must be the place. [clears throat] What is it with men and boobs, anyway?
Biological. We can't help it.
But doesn't it bother you that they're so obviously not real?
Santa's not real. We still love opening his presents.
I'm not running a background check on your daughter's date.
Oh, come on! She says he's quiet, he keeps to himself, and he lives with his parents. Tell me that doesn't sound like a serial killer to you!
[Regarding Alexis' date] Boy, I can't believe my little girl is going to prom... my only comfort now is the long-standing tradition of torturing the boyfriend.
What do you mean?
You know, the time-honored hazing that goes on in those few moments we share, where he and I are alone, just before my daughter descends the stairs.
I remember the terror of meeting my date's old man.
What did he do?
Checked my wallet for condoms, showed me his gun collection, my hands were shaking so bad I could barely put on the corsage.
[to Beckett] What did your dad do?
[pause] I... I don't know. I was in my room.
How was your date when you finally came out?
You know what, now that you mention it, he looked terrified. [Castle and Ryan nod] And this whole time I though he was scared of me.
Nope! And now it's my turn...
What are you planning?
Something befitting the name of 'Castle'...
Nothing you say will change how we feel. What men don't understand is the right clothes, the right shoes, the right make up, it hides the flaws we think we have, and make us look beautiful to our selves, that's what makes us look beautiful to others.
Used to be all she needed to look beautiful was a pink tutu and a plastic tiara.
we spend our whole live trying to feel that way again.
[Season tagline] There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people: psychopaths and mystery writers. I'm the kind that pays better.
[Trying to convince Beckett that she isn’t to blame for Sorenson being shot] You think this is your fault? Yeah, you pushed for it. Not because it's your job, but because you care. Most people come up against a wall, they give up. Not you. You don't let go. You don't back down. That's what makes you extraordinary.
S2 E1Deep in Death
[About the bachelor-party cop twins' uniforms at the photo shoot] Hey, Beckett, how come you don't wear a uniform like that?
Because I don't want to be paid in singles.
Guy in a tree; Mom and Dad bickering. Seems like old times!
Mm-hmm!
[About what he found about Beckett's mother] What was I suppose to do? Not tell her what I found?
[Surprised] What you found?
Oh she didn't tell you, did she? Three people were killed the same way her mother was, right about the same time. One of them was a former law student of hers, another one a documents clerk, the third one a lawyer for a non-profit.
Wait, the M.E. at the time didn't make the connection?
If he did, he buried it.
Did you talk to him?
He died four years ago. So you see why I had to tell her.
You know what I don't get? Who would steal a dead body?
Oh, plenty of people. Organ harvesters, cadaver-less med students, Satanists. [pause] Mad scientists looking to create their own monster.
Or the guys who killed him might have left some evidence behind.
Boring. How about a spy having swallowed a microchip that the enemy spies murder him over before the CIA can get ahold of him?
You want me to put on some music? Whenever they do this sort of thing on CSI, they always do it to music in poorly lit rooms. Kinda reminds me of porn.
[to Lanie who is examining a body in a tree] How's it going up there?.
I got tree branches poking my boobs and a spotlight shining up my booty.
Could be worse. You could be wearing a skirt.
[pause] When I come down, Im'ma smack you.
I'm looking forward to that.
*in a Russian accent* Sometimes when I am bored, I go to Glechik Cafe in Little Odessa and pretend to be Muscovite.
Now that's kinda hot!
She may have built up a wall between us, but I am going to build a door in that wall. Or put up a ladder. [thinking] Or dig a hole.
