[after the case is solved Castle and Beckett come down a staircase]
Thank you, Castle, I, uhm, I never would have been able to solve this case without your help.
[awkward pause]
Well, uh, good luck on your new book, I know that you'll do it proud.
Thanks [reaches out for Beckett] you take care of yourself [they shake hands] and...
[both cellphones ring]
It's the ... uh ... station... I, you know you better get that...
Ahah, really? [to Beckett] First day, "Heat Wave" sales through the roof!
[to Castle] I'm on hold for Captain Montgomery.
[to Beckett] Reviews are raves!
Would I be interested in doing three more "Nikki Heats"?
Yes, I am aware that the mayor is facing a tough re-election this year...
No, I would love to help the department out in whatever way I could...
No, no, forget the other offer, for that kind of money I'll do a dozen "Nikki Heats"!
[flabbergasted] He wants me to what?
Oh, well that was kind of a one-time only situation with her and me...
Three books? That would take forever!
You already spoke to the mayor?
[to Castle, whispering] I can kill you!
No, no, no, no sir, I wasn't talking to you! I, uh, no need to thank me sir, I am happy to help his honor out in any way I can... [hanging up]
Uh-huh, you know what, I think ... I'm gonna, Paula, I'm gonna ... I'll call you back... [hanging up]
[to Beckett] I had nothing to do with that phonecall!
[Beckett's phone ringing]
What? [listening to the phone] OK, I'll be right there! [starting to walk away]
[looking confused] Where are you going?
That was Esposito, there's been a murder. [turning around] Are you coming or what?
[hastens towards Beckett]
Do you really expect me to believe you had nothing to do with that phonecall?
I swear I had nothing to do!
Swear a little harder Castle, I don't believe you!
[Episode ends]
[Castle enters the room, dressed as Mal from Firefly]
CCastle
Hey... I was just trying on my Halloween costume.
What exactly are you supposed to be?
Okay. A: there are no cows in space. B: didn't you wear that, like, five years ago?
So, don't you think you should move on?
[Castle relates a traumatizing childhood experience that spurred him to become a mystery writer]
It must have just happened, because the tide hadn't washed away the blood. We had just played hide-and-go-seek the day before.
I'm so sorry, Castle. [he smirks] ... you made that up?
You know what? You are so getting it for that one!
[Castle, Beckett and Esposito staring at Ryan's familiarity with vampires and covens]
What? [reluctantly] I used to go out with a girl who was into the lifestyle.
What happened? Did the relationship suck?
[The two chuckle and tap fingers]
Deal-breaker, she wanted to have sex in a coffin. I'm opened-mind, but not that open-minded...
Nothing... it's just I'm so used to seeing you act like a 12-year-old all the time, it's refreshing to see you as a father.
It makes you want me, right?
...And there's the 12-year-old again.
Does he look like a killer to you?
Everybody looks like a killer to me, Castle. Job requirement
Do I look like a killer to you?
Yes, you kill my patience.
[talking about Haley's final song, Threshold]
CCastle
Yeah. Sounds pretty. Little creepy, though.
CCastle
"Death, she grows near"? It’s kind of like Final Destination, but in song form.
She doesn't mean "death" death.
CCastle
Well, what other kinds of death are there?
Allegorical, metaphoric, symbolic, spiritual, emotional, sexual –
CCastle
Okay, okay, that's quite enough. I think I'm paying far too much for her education.
[After a SWAT team breaks into an apartment]
Where's Nidal Metar? Shakir Nidal Metar! Where is he?
TTenant
There's no Shakir Nidal Metar here! Only Sally Neidermeyer!
Ma'am, did you send a package by bike courier this morning?
"S. Nidal Metar?" S. Neidermeyer! Some bozo at the courier company wrote the name wrong.
[lifting the door] Sorry.
[They screw the door back into its frame]
[arriving on the scene of the crime] So, what do we got?
Thank you. Our victim’s name is Caleb Shimky…
And he was pulling a Kevin Bacon in Quicksilver when all of-
Quicksilver. [Beckett shakes her head] Kevin Bacon is a bike messenger who failed as a-
[turns to Esposito] Esposito, take him to school.
The victim is Caleb Shimansky, an on-duty bike messenger. Masked suspect in a black 4-door plows into him, killing him instantly. The suspect steals the messenger bag, jumps in his ride and jets off.
[looking back at Castle] See, that wasn't so hard.
No, no, it's good, if you like the dull, non-best-seller version.
I thought I gave it some flair.
