Beckett, Castle and others in “Number One Fan”

Beckett

Castle. Are you asleep?

Castle

Yes.

Beckett

Then why did you answer me?

Castle

I'm sleep-talking. Also known as somniloquy. Just ignore me.

Beckett

I don't know what to do.

Castle

I have some ideas.

Beckett

No, Castle, I'm talking about my life. I don't know what to do about my life. I haven't been out of work since I was 15. I cannot believe that the FBI fired me, and I can't get my job back at the NYPD because of the commissioner's stupid hiring freeze. I might as well just apply to become a mall cop.

Castle

Ooh. You would look great on a Segway. You know, Beckett, you don't have to decide right away.

Beckett

Come on, Castle. What are you saying? What am I gonna do, just sleep in every morning and screw around until the phone rings? What kind of life is that?

Castle

Mine.

Beckett

(realizing) Sorry.

Castle

I just mean that, you're with me, now. You don't have to work.

Beckett

I don't need to work? Does that mean you're my...sugar daddy?

Castle

Oh. Hold on, that didn't...come out...actually, I'm still sleep-talking. I can't really be held responsible for whatever I say.

[Bursting into the room without knocking] Wow, even when you're fighting you two are super cute.

Castle

Pi...

Morning Mr. C, Mrs. C-to-be
