Quotes 

• [canvassing a cemetery at night] 

  Kevin Ryan : You know, if this were a horror movie, we'd be the first ones killed, splitting off like this.

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, except we're not a couple of top-heavy co-eds out looking for fun. We're highly-trained officers of the law with enough firepower to take out a horde of undead.

  Kevin Ryan : Hispanic and cocky. Yeah, you'd definitely die first.

  [cut to Beckett and Castle canvassing another part of the same cemetery] 

  Richard Castle : You know, if this was a horror movie...

  Kate Beckett : Castle... focus.

• [trying to bribe her father with breakfast in bed] 

  Alexis Castle : Okay, I want a Vespa... It's a scooter. All my friends have them. And it would make getting around the city *so* much easier, and they're totally safe.

  Richard Castle : Uh, honey...

  Alexis Castle : I'll always wear a helmet and I'll never drive at night. You know how responsible I am.

  Richard Castle : It's not you I'm worried about. Driving in New York, it's like a-a "Mad Max" movie.

• Richard Castle : And who is the unlucky winner today?

  Kate Beckett : Deon Carver, bail bondsman. This is his office. He walked into a B&E last night, and before he had a chance to use his registered firearm, our killer knocked him over the head with that.

  [Beckett points at the murder weapon] 

  Richard Castle : A sharpshooter award. That is ironic on so many levels. No...

  [thinks for a moment] 

  Richard Castle : Just two.

• [at the crime scene, Beckett discovers the source of static on her walkie-talkie] 

  Richard Castle : Why would a calculator cause feedback?

  Kate Beckett : It's not a calculator.

  [opens the calculator] 

  Kate Beckett : It's a bug.

  Richard Castle : A wireless RF transmitter, to be precise. Not to be confused with the more advanced infrared signal burst device.

  Kate Beckett : Book research?

  Richard Castle : Nanny cam. So... do you think that the robbery was just a pretense for the placement of the bug, and then the killer was caught in the act?

  Kate Beckett : Well, it's not Watergate, Castle. If the point was to bug Carver's office, then why leave it here once he's dead?

  Richard Castle : Well, tell me this, Miss Know-It-All, who would *want* to bug a burly bail bondsman so badly?

• Kate Beckett : Hell are you doing? That's my suspect.

  Mike Royce : Okay, relax, we're on the same team.

  Kate Beckett : Royce?

  Mike Royce : Hey, kid. Long time.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, too long.

  Richard Castle : Nice driving.

  Mike Royce : Well, thanks. Mike Royce, bounty hunter. Boom.

  Richard Castle : Richard Castle, writer.

  Kate Beckett : Royce used to be on the job.

  Mike Royce : On the job? She says that like I'm any cop. I was her training officer when she left the academy.

  Random Pierce : [handcuffed on the ground]  Hey, hey, hey. Hey, i-if I'm imposing on your happy reunion, you know, I can just go.

  Kate Beckett : The only place you're going is jail.

• [regaling Castle and Esposito with old stories of Beckett] 

  Mike Royce : Oh, no, she's got the cat in one hand, her gun in the other. I'm trying to get the hell out of the way so she can shoot the guy with the speargun...

  Kate Beckett : [approaching]  Except Royce has such a giant head that every time I go to pull the trigger, all I could think about is how much paperwork I'll have to do if I accidentally shoot him.

  Mike Royce : Yeah, okay. So you know what she does? She offers to show the guy her boobs if he drops the speargun.

  Javier Esposito : Did he?

  Richard Castle : Did you?

  Kate Beckett : No, 'cause he had the same slack-jawed look that the two of you have.

• Kevin Ryan : So, it looks like your shoplifter isn't our killer, after all. Guard at Book Mart confirms that he caught him trying to steal a copy of "The Da Vinci Code".

  Richard Castle : "The Da Vinci Code". Maybe he thought it could help him decipher the document, thinking it's some kind of, uh, ancient, religious cryptogram, prophesizing the coming zombie apocalypse.

  Mike Royce : Is he always like this?

  Kate Beckett : No, it's usually about CIA conspiracies.

  Richard Castle : I was really close on one of those.

• [Beckett has revealed she has a motorcycle] 

  Richard Castle : So this Harley of yours, do you have any pictures?

  Kate Beckett : Uh, yeah, I do, but I not gonna be showing any of them to you.

  Richard Castle : Why not?

  Kate Beckett : Well, because I don't think you can handle the sight of me straddling it in tight, black leather.

  Richard Castle : I am so not getting a scooter for my daughter.

• [first lines] 

  Alexis Castle : Breakfast time.

  Richard Castle : Oh! What did I do to deserve this? Other than, you know... being me?

  Alexis Castle : Isn't that enough?

• Kate Beckett : Castle, are you coming?

  Richard Castle : Oh! Actually, I was gonna hang back with Royce, hear some stories about the good old days.

  Kate Beckett : Okay... fine.

  [to Royce] 

  Kate Beckett : But if you tell him about the karaoke stakeout, I'm gonna tell him what happened with the monkey.

  Mike Royce : My lips are sealed.

• [last lines] 

  Richard Castle : I'm so proud of you.

  Alexis Castle : Proud enough to buy me a new scooter?

  Richard Castle : No. I made a deal and it would be wrong to break it... But there's nothing in that deal that prohibits me from buying *myself* a scooter, and maybe letting you borrow it from time to time.

  Alexis Castle : Are you sure?

  Richard Castle : Sure. I can send you to the store for batteries for lightsabers.

  Alexis Castle : Thanks, Dad. Oh, and when you have the scooter, maybe I can borrow the car?
