Quotes
-
Kevin Ryan : [panting] Hey. Sorry I'm late.
Javier Esposito : Yeah? Jenny again?
Kevin Ryan : Yeah... Her temperature spiked this morning and suddenly it's showtime. She's got this baby-making down to a science.
Richard Castle : Sounds romantic.
Kevin Ryan : I feel like a rooster in a hen house. Except for there's only one hen. A very bossy hen.

[last lines]
Richard Castle : I am sorry about the earrings, though.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, me, too. They were... stunning.
Richard Castle : Hmm. I will get you something else even more beautiful. Just try not to give it to another woman first.
Kate Beckett : Well, that would be nice.
Richard Castle : Which reminds me.
Kate Beckett : Hmm?
Richard Castle : [whispers] What did you get me?
[Beckett leads Castle over to her chest of drawers and taps one of the drawers]
Kate Beckett : Open it.
[Castle opens the drawer; it's empty, and he feels around but finds nothing]
Richard Castle : [whispers] Maybe it's in another drawer.
Kate Beckett : It is the drawer... It's your drawer... I-I mean, I know it's not a lightsaber.
Richard Castle : No... It's perfect.
[they kiss]
Kate Beckett : Happy Valentine's Day. Now, take your clothes off, put them in your drawer, and meet me in the bed.
[Beckett walks away; Castle works on his cufflinks, but they won't come undone]
Richard Castle : Seriously?
-
Captain Victoria Gates : Did you really think that I, of all people, would be... okay with this?
Richard Castle : No, I... thought I...
Captain Victoria Gates : [reads the note] "You are beauty, passion, and fierce intellect. Be my valentine. Rick."
Richard Castle : [taking the note] Is that all I wrote in there?
Captain Victoria Gates : Isn't that enough? What the hell is wrong with you? I'm a married woman.
Richard Castle : [stammering] I-I know. I know. I know. I just thought...
Captain Victoria Gates : Is this some lame, hare-brained scheme to garner favor with me?
Richard Castle : Yeah. That-That's what this is.
Captain Victoria Gates : Well, it backfired. And I am willing to forget that this ever happened if you assure me that you can tame your childish nonsense and accord me some respect.

Ashley Robinson : I'm just saying that this sucks. Okay? Hannah dying a month before our wedding?
Margo Gower : Ashley.
Stone Gower : Ashley's right. Maybe we should, like, postpone it or something.
Penelope Foster : Postpone? For that bitch?
Margo Gower : Penelope!
Penelope Foster : Look, it's not like I killed her.
Kate Beckett : [interrupting] Excuse me. Ms. Foster? Detective Beckett, NYPD.
Penelope Foster : How do you do?
Kate Beckett : I'm fine. Uh, but... you are under arrest for the murder of Hannah Green.
Richard Castle : So I guess it is like you killed her.
Peter Monroe : [to the camera guys] Are you still rolling? Did you get that?
-
Richard Castle : [to Beckett] Is this... your Valentine's Day gift to me? A complex mystery where nothing makes sense? You know me so well.
-
Richard Castle : Okay, okay. Heart-shaped cufflinks?
Kate Beckett : [chuckles] Could you stop *guessing*?
Richard Castle : Okay, a pony. It's a rocket. It's a limited edition "Star Wars" lightsaber signed by George Lucas.
Kate Beckett : Yes, because nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" like a "Star Wars" toy.
[Castle laughs]
Kate Beckett : Wait, wait. Please tell me that you didn't get me a lightsaber for our *first* Valentine's Day together.
Richard Castle : Please, give me some credit.
-
Javier Esposito : The victim was Hannah Green, 23. She's one of the *stars* of the show "The Wives of Wall Street". Her brother's on his way into the precinct from Jersey.
Richard Castle : "Wives of Wall Street," the reality show?
Javier Esposito : Yeah. You seen it?
Richard Castle : Just long enough to make me wanna kill myself. One minute of lunatics backstabbing each other is enough.
Javier Esposito : Speaking of backstabbing...
[Espo moves out of the way, revealing the victim sitting on a bench with a knife in her back]
-
Richard Castle : [after binge watching "Wives of Wall Street" all night] I can't feel my butt.
-
[Lanie enters the precinct in an evening dress]
Kate Beckett : Hey, Espo, your date's here.
Richard Castle : I knew they had plans! You knew they had plans and you didn't tell me?
Kate Beckett : Yeah, because she asked me to keep it a secret. This is a really big deal for them. She doesn't want you making fun of 'em.
Richard Castle : I wouldn't make fun. No, that's...
[laughs]
Richard Castle : ... not true. Fish in a barrel.
[turns and sees Lanie]
Richard Castle : Oh.
Kate Beckett : Lanie, you look great.
Lanie Parish : Yeah? It's not too much?
Kate Beckett : No. It might be a little too much for Castle.
[to Castle]
Kate Beckett : Eyes up, bud.
-
Richard Castle : Spoiler alert!
-
Kate Beckett : Seriously, Castle, what were you thinking?
Richard Castle : Well, I wanted to surprise you.
Kate Beckett : By putting my gift in Gates' blazer? Okay, I'm surprised.
Richard Castle : Well, why do you and Gates have to wear such similar blazers?
Kate Beckett : Did you write a note?
Richard Castle : Of course I wrote a note. I'm a writer.
Kate Beckett : Was it romantic?
Richard Castle : It's Valentine's Day, so, yeah, it was romantic.
Kate Beckett : Did you put my name on it?
[Castle tries to remember]
Kate Beckett : Oh, God, Castle, please, did you put my name on it?
Richard Castle : I can't remember. I put my name on it, I know that much.
Kate Beckett : [groans in frustration] Oh! If Gates finds out that we're dating, then that's it. We're not gonna be working together anymore.
Richard Castle : Why do you think I've been trying so hard to get it back?
Kate Beckett : Oh, we will get it back. Right when we get to the precinct. But right now we've got a murder to solve... Maybe our last.
-
Richard Castle : That's exactly what I mean. Hannah didn't stand a chance. I mean, she's a small-town, naive young woman, she was chum to piranhas.
Captain Victoria Gates : Yeah, but look what she did to Bob.
Richard Castle : Okay, okay. Do you really think that she played him? That Penelope was right about that?
Captain Victoria Gates : Oh, that girl was smarter than anybody gave her credit for.
Richard Castle : You know what? I think you're right.
Captain Victoria Gates : What about you, Detective? Did you watch "Wives of Wall Street" last night?
Kate Beckett : I watched... an episode.
Richard Castle : Just one episode? That's like eating one potato chip.
-
Peter Monroe : You got to find who did this. The audience will want to know.
Richard Castle : Yeah, not to mention her family, the D.A.
Kate Beckett : Mr. Monroe, when was this shot?
Peter Monroe : Uh... day before yesterday. Around 8:00 p.m. Why?
Kate Beckett : Because she's wearing the same clothes that we found her in. That's a full day later.
-
Kate Beckett : Do you know where she went after filming or why she would've been on the Upper West Side?
Peter Monroe : Well, to be honest, when the cameras go away, so do I. So I don't even know what she did on her free time.
Richard Castle : In the video, she seems upset. Any idea what about?
Peter Monroe : Oh, you gotta understand, we brought Hannah in to be Penelope's assistant. You know, mix things up a little bit. The small-town girl with the big-time dreams of becoming a fashion designer. "Will she make it with The Wives of Wall Street?". She's just milking it for the camera. They all do.
Richard Castle : So it's a reality show, just without the reality.
Peter Monroe : I... like to think of it as heightened reality. Reality-ish.
-
Richard Castle : You're a fan of "Wives of Wall Street"?
Captain Victoria Gates : Oh, yes! It's the best show on TV. Why?
Richard Castle : I don't- I just... assumed that a woman like you would prefer more... sophisticated fare.
Captain Victoria Gates : Excuse me? What did you just say?
[Beckett's cell phone rings and she answers it]
Kate Beckett : [on phone] Hey, Lanie. What's up?
-
Lanie Parish : I'll tell you where she was... Madagascar.
Richard Castle : As in the country off the southeastern coast of Africa made famous by the adorable animated film?
Lanie Parish : Yep. The material I found underneath her fingernails? Not skin from an attacker. It's Alluaudia.
Kate Beckett : And what is Alluaudia?
Lanie Parish : [reading] "A rare, spiny plant, cultivated primarily *in* Madagascar."
Richard Castle : So, how did it get under her fingernails?
Lanie Parish : Beats me. As for her defensive wounds, they were *not* sustained at the time of murder. They're from twenty-four hours prior.
Kate Beckett : That's about the time that she went off the grid. Which means there's gotta be a connection.
-
Lanie Parish : Remember this abrasion?
Kate Beckett : Yeah.
Lanie Parish : Well, I figured out what caused it. Her diamond tennis bracelet.
Richard Castle : But wasn't that... on her right wrist?
Lanie Parish : Good memory.
Richard Castle : So, her wrists were tied together.
Lanie Parish : *Tight*, and for several hours.
Kate Beckett : Now it's making *sense*. Wearing the same clothes overnight.
Richard Castle : The radio silence.
Kate Beckett : And the defensive wounds twenty-four hours prior to death.
Richard Castle : Hannah was held hostage
