Quotes 

• Richard Castle : I was hoping you'd still be here.

  Kate Beckett : I was just about to call you.

  Richard Castle , Kate Beckett : I think I know who the killer is.

• Kate Beckett : What is it about this guy that-that warrants this unshakable faith that you have in him?

  Richard Castle : When I was fourteen, my mom sent me to Edgewyck Academy. I... I was homesick, and I didn't have any friends. So I wrote about it. One day, I submitted a story to the literary magazine. Damian Westlake was the editor.

  Kate Beckett : And he published it.

  Richard Castle : More than that. He called me down to his office, he sat me down, and he said, "Ricky, you have a great talent." No one had ever said anything like that to me before. And Damian, he encouraged me, he critiqued me, he... he always made me dig a little deeper. Without Damian Westlake, I'm a lawyer, I'm a grifter, I'm a rodeo clown, but I am not a writer. Without him, I'm not me.

• Richard Castle : Hey! Why are you mad at me? I'm just looking out for my friend.

  Kate Beckett : You challenged my authority in front of a suspect, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Since when is Damian a suspect?

  Kate Beckett : Right now everyone is, you know that. That's how I do my job. I will not have you get in the way of an investigation.

• [last lines] 

  Kate Beckett : [as Damian is put in the back of a squad car]  "Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy." F. Scott Fitzgerald said that.

  Richard Castle : Then it must have been Ernest Hemingway who said "Man, I sure could use a drink right about now."

  Kate Beckett : Lead the way. I'm buying.

  Richard Castle : [they walk down the sidewalk]  It's Valentine's Day. Shouldn't you be in a nice candlelit restaurant, wearing a new dress, ordering surf and turf?

  Kate Beckett : I've got a couple of hours. You okay?

  Richard Castle : Yeah. I'm fine.

  Kate Beckett : Liar.

• Damian Westlake : What can I do for you, Detective?

  Kate Beckett : You could show me the diamonds that you stole from Vicky. I spoke to Wallace Benner, the jeweler on the West Side. He said that he replaced your wife's diamonds with imitation ones. Over a period of several weeks, he exchanged twenty-six diamonds worth over $8 million, and gave you the real ones.

  Damian Westlake : But doesn't this argue against your theory that I killed my wife? If I have $8 million, why wouldn't I just leave? Be with Callie?

  Kate Beckett : Greed. You used the first diamond as a down payment for the contract killer. Once Vicky was dead, you'd inherit and double your take.

  Damian Westlake : You really think I'm that cold?

  Kate Beckett : Personally, I have no doubt. But Richard Castle believes in you, and I believe in him. So show me those diamonds. Show me that none of them are missing, or I will haul your ass back to jail.

• Kate Beckett : [Castle's friend Damian is being brought in for questioning]  You can watch from observation. You don't want to be in there for this.

• Kate Beckett : Castle, it's one thing for you to look out for your friend, it's a completely different story when you hide vital information from me.

  Richard Castle : I wasn't hiding it! I just didn't think it mattered!

  Kate Beckett : You didn't think it mattered that Damian was a suspect in a previous homicide?

  Richard Castle : I didn't know he was a suspect. And since he was never arrested, and that case is still unsolved, I'm guessing those cops have a lot of theories and no evidence, like another detective I could name right about now.

  Kate Beckett : You know, if this was anybody else, you'd be asking me why I hadn't already slapped the cuffs on him.

  Richard Castle : But it isn't anyone else, and I'm telling you you're way off base on this one.

• Kate Beckett : We agreed that you would stay out of my way on this.

  Richard Castle : Yes, but I did not agree I would stand by and let you railroad my friend.

  Kate Beckett : Castle, you are too close to this one. You need to go home. Now.
