Gates, Beckett and others in “The Squab and the Quail”

Gates

Okay, I spoke with the Commissioner, and he's agreed to provide Vaughn with a protective detail.

Beckett

Uh, great. I actually have a few uniforms that I'd like to recommend for duty.

Gates

No. Mr. Vaughn has requested you.

Castle

He what now?

Beckett

Sir, I'm a homicide detective, not some bodyguard.

Gates

Trust me, I know. But this comes directly from the Commissioner.

Castle

Then why doesn't Vaughn just hire a private army? He can afford that.

Gates

I don't know why, Mr. Castle. I just know what my orders are. He wants Detective Beckett, and only Beckett. [turns and leaves]

Castle

Can he even do that?

Beckett

I think he just did.
