Well, how about just a low-key evening with your girlfriends? You guys can have a John Hughes marathon and fill out a Cosmo quiz.
Dad, the ‘80s just called. It wants its plan back.
S4 E8Heartbreak Hotel
You know, the man owned a casino. A guy like that, you’d think he’d have a driver.
Especially since he was expecting trouble. He came heavy. [Holds up a bagged gun] It’s a .357 Magnum with all six still asleep in the cylinder.
He didn’t even pull it out of the glove box. If he did, we’d be standing over the other guy.
Yeah well, you got to know when to hold them. And, when to fold them.
Know when to walk away. Know when the run.
[giving Esposito an irritated glance] Detective Esposito, a little respect, please. I mean, there is a dead body here.
What’d I do?
[Lanie rises up and walks away]
You broke up with her.
We broke up with each other. That’s different.
Yeah, you would think it would be different. But, no.
Did you see that? He [Ryan] just sidestepped me. What’s that about?
It’s almost as though the thought of marriage fills him with an impending sense of doom. [Laughs] No, no, wait, that’s me.
[After Castle catches the elevator]
What are you doing?
What’s it look like? Do you think I was going to pass up a road trip to the Boardwalk Empire, the East Coast epicenter of dancing, gambling, showgirls and sin?
You do realize we’re going there to investigate a murder, don’t you?
[putting his arms around their shoulders] Gentlemen, if I’ve learned one thing, it’s to not let a little thing like murder get in the way of having a good time. And also, shotgun.
S4 E9Kill Shot
Hey.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Just waiting for my partner. Maybe you've seen her. Pretty girl, thinks she can leap tall buildings in a single bound, carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, yet, still manages to laugh at some of my jokes.
She sounds like a handful.
Tell me about it. Anyway, if you do see her, tell her she owes me about a hundred coffees.
Castle? Thank you.
For what?
For not pushing, and giving me the space to get through this.
Always.
[Heading to the evidence room] Espo, what are we doing back here?
I want to show you something. [Pulls out a rifle]
What is that?
The rifle that shot you.
You are way out of line.
Just look at it.
[Backs away] What the hell are you doing?
I’ve been where you are, I know what you’re going through.
Javi, I’m fine.
You’re not fine. You’re just trying to act like you are. [Holds up the rifle] This is just a tool. It’s a hunk of steel. It has no magical powers, and the person that fired it is not some all-powerful God. Just a guy with a gun. Just like the guy we’ve hunting now. And like every other bad guy, he’s damaged goods.
[After a moment of silence] So am I.
That’s right. And that’s okay. You think it’s a weakness? Make it a strength. It’s a part of you. [Hands the rifle out to her] So use it.
S4 E10Cuffed
I told you, it's none of your business.
Of course it's none of my business, that's why I want to know.
Know what?
What she and Esposito were fighting about.
That's none of your business.
That's the point.
Do you know what Lanie and Esposito were fighting about?
Everything. They both want to be together but neither of them wants to admit to it.
Ugh, why do people do that to themselves?
Maybe they just don't see it.
How could they not? It's so obvious.
I've always liked your legs. But now I respect them.
Yeah, yours aren't so bad either. You know, for the next police picnic, we should do the three-legged race together.
You're on.
What's gonna happen with that tiger anyway?
Shoot it.
She'll get transferred to a sanctuary.
Or that.
Probably end up in a zoo. Why, you wanna go visit her?
No. No thanks, I'm good.
Alright, you guys get some rest.
You too.
That has gotta be the strangest brush with death I've ever had.
Me too. But I'll tell ya, after that experience, if I ever have to be hitched to someone, it would be you.
Hitched?
Hitched? No, I didn't say hitched. I said cuffed. Handcuffed, not hitched. (He helps her into her jacket.) The colloquial or any other connotation or meaning.
It's okay, Castle, I understood what you meant, and for what it's worth, if I ever have to spend another night handcuffed to someone again, I wouldn't mind if it was you either.
Really?
But next time, let's do it without the tiger. (She walks past him.)
Next time?
(Kate glances back, and then keeps walking. Castle grins.)
What is so special about our victim that our killer burned off his fingerprints?
[Castle starts to speak]
Don't say spy.
[pause; Castle starts to speak again]
Or Mob hit.
Mob hit of a spy?
Still too high.
Not if I climb on your shoulders. [When Castle gives her a look] What? We’ve done it before.
Yeah, you say that like it was pleasant. And we weren’t handcuffed.
Who’s got no faith now? Come on Castle, we have no idea when they’re coming back or even if they’re coming back at all.
[Looks down at her heeled shoes] Last time you were wearing sneakers.
Fine. [Tries to pry them off, but can’t] Think I’m gonna need your help.
[muttering as he works to pull them off] “Lift up my shirt.” “Pull off my boots.” Under normal circumstances, I would like where this was heading.
You can fantasize later after we get out of the room.
Just so you know, not as much fun if I have your permission. How do you run in these things?
Shut up and pull.
[As they are trying to escape the tiger]
She’s playing with us. She’s gonna knock it over. What are we gonna do?
There’s only one thing to do. Scream like little girls
CBCastle & Beckett
Help! Help!
Beckett! Castle!
Esposito!
Is that a tiger?
Yeah, yeah, that's a tiger! Hey, how about getting us out?
S4 E11Til Death Do Us Part
CCastle
Let me ask you two something. If you found out a man was cheating on you, how would you kill him?
Knife. To the heart.
CCastle
All right, what if you don’t have the stomach for that?
Shoot him.
CCastle
You don’t have the stomach for that, either.
What's wrong with our stomachs?
There’s always poison.
True. Watch him writhe. And suffer.
Die like the rodent he is.
CCastle
Wow. All these years writing about murderers, I had no idea I was living among them.
Darling. Beauty does not happen by accident.
That’s why when it goes unappreciated by cheating scum, (she holds out her butter knife) we want revenge.
