Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : So, you sent Castle on a surveillance mission after I told you he was not to work any more NYPD cases.

  Kevin Ryan : We didn't think you should know. We were trying to protect you.

  Kate Beckett : By sending my husband to the city's top divorce attorney?

  Javier Esposito : Happy anniversary?

• [as part of the investigation, Castle went undercover at a divorce attorney's office] 

  Kate Beckett : When you were in that divorce lawyer's office, I was watching.

  Richard Castle : Why, Captain Beckett, I had no idea. I feel so violated.

  Kate Beckett : [laughs]  Look, I know you were just playing a role, but... When she asked you if there was any hope for us, and you didn't say anything, I was...

  Richard Castle : Kate... I have never given up hope. Not since the day we met. And that'll never change until you tell me it should.

  Kate Beckett : Well, then don't change... Ever.

• Kate Beckett : Hi, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Hey. Hey, oh, I'm not here about the case, I'm just, uh...

  [he indicates Ryan and Esposito] 

  Kate Beckett : A buffer?

  Richard Castle : Yeah.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, they told me. Sort of.

• Javier Esposito : Annika has been posting about how she's gonna be flying to Paris tonight.

  Kevin Ryan : And we need to get some hard evidence tying our vic to one of these women.

  Kate Beckett : Castle, you said that they were gonna spend the day at the spa?

  Richard Castle : Yes. Where all body art will be on full display. If one of them has that tattoo...

  Kate Beckett : Then we can bring them in. I just need a partner to go with me into the women's locker room.

  [Castle, Ryan, and Esposito all immediately raise their hands] 

  Kate Beckett : A female partner, guys.

• Kevin Ryan : And when you ID'd the tattoo, did you pull the towel off or did it just... fall off?

  Hayley Shipton : Well, actually, Kate pulled the towel off.

  Kevin Ryan : Right.

  Hayley Shipton : But I'm not quite sure how this is relevant.

  Javier Esposito : You're pathetic, bro.

  Kevin Ryan : Somebody's gotta write this report.

  Javier Esposito : Wow... So, Hayley, it must have been pretty hard for you guys to chase her, 'cause you and Beckett were both wearing towels, right?

  Kate Beckett : [entering, to Hayley]  Hey. Okay, here you go. This is your voucher, just take that up to Evidence, and that painting is yours.

  Hayley Shipton : All right. I'll see you perverts later.

  Javier Esposito : Yes, you will.

  [seeing Beckett's expression] 

  Javier Esposito : Ryan was trying to get details on your wardrobe malfunction.

  Kevin Ryan : Me? You were the one asking if Beckett was wearing a towel.

• [having read Castle's anniversary invitation] 

  Kate Beckett : Castle, this is very sweet. This is... very you. But... I don't think that it would be a good idea.

  Richard Castle : Look, I, uh, I know we're on a time-out right now. A- And... But tomorrow's our anniversary. And I just can't bear the thought of spending it without you.

  Kate Beckett : I would love to. I really would. You have... no idea how much. But I, uh... I'm worried that it would be unfair. Because no matter how great dinner would be, I would still need our time-out.

  Richard Castle : No. No, I know. I'm not trying to put an end to the time-out. I'm just saying, what if we could...

  Kate Beckett : Have a time-out from our time-out?

  Richard Castle : Exactly. So what do you think?

  Kate Beckett : I would love to have dinner with you tomorrow.

• Kate Beckett : So where are you with matching Vulcan Simmons' heroin to current dealers?

  Vikram Singh : Nowhere. It's- It's gonna take a while. Which is why I think you going out to dinner with Castle is a mistake.

  Kate Beckett : I know. But I miss him.

• Richard Castle : How are things between the boys?

  Kate Beckett : Not good, actually. I'm kind of worried about them.

  Richard Castle : Oh, they'll work it out. They've been through way too much together to give up on what they have.

  Kate Beckett : You're a wise man, Castle. With a big heart. You're rather good-looking, too.

  Richard Castle : Might wanna pace yourself on the flattery, you've got a whole dinner to get through.

  Kevin Ryan : [loudly, off screen]  Come on, Javi, just say it!

  Javier Esposito : [off screen]  Trust me, you don't want to hear what I really think.

  Kevin Ryan : Oh, bring it on!

  Javier Esposito : All right. You're a whiny, insecure, jealous little baby who shot me in the ass on purpose!

  Kevin Ryan : And you are an arrogant, man-scaped Neanderthal. And it wasn't on purpose. Next time, it's gonna be.

  Javier Esposito : That's it, I want a new partner!

  Kevin Ryan : Me, too!

  Richard Castle : Oh, we can't leave them like this, can we?

  Kate Beckett : [sigh]  I'll talk to Javi.

  Richard Castle : I'll see if I can calm Ryan down. Rain check on dinner?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah.

• [Castle and Ryan in Castle's office] 

  Kevin Ryan : How'd it all go so wrong? I mean, one day we're a team, simpatico, finishing each other's sentences, and then...

  Richard Castle : You shot him in the ass.

  [cut to Beckett and Esposito in a bar] 

  Kate Beckett : It was an accident, Jav.

  Javier Esposito : Oh, was it? You sure about that?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah. And deep down in your heart, you are, too.

  Javier Esposito : It doesn't matter. Once the trust is gone, it's really hard to get it back.

  Kate Beckett : No, that's not true. A strong relationship can survive anything.

  [cut to Castle and Ryan] 

  Richard Castle : No relationship can survive secrets. Or lies. Now, you need to tell Esposito the truth. That you were hurt and jealous that he passed the test and you didn't.

  Kevin Ryan : Forget that. He- he rubbed it in my face, remember? Sergeant Esposito.

  Richard Castle : You need to apologize.

  [cut to Beckett and Esposito] 

  Javier Esposito : Hell, no, I am not apologizing to him.

  Kate Beckett : Why not?

  Javier Esposito : Even before he shot me, he couldn't believe that I passed and he didn't.

  Kate Beckett : You have to let it go.

  [cut to Castle and Ryan] 

  Richard Castle : You have to let it go.

  Kevin Ryan : I can't.

  [cut to Beckett and Esposito] 

  Javier Esposito : I can't.

• Kate Beckett : Happy anniversary. A day late.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, or, um, 364 days early.

• Kate Beckett : Um, Rick, I just wanted...

  [Castle kisses her] 

  Kate Beckett : Mm. Wait. Wait. Look, this doesn't mean that we're...

  Richard Castle : No. No, I know. No, this is just a... time-out from the time-out.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah.

  Richard Castle : Yeah. So... time in?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah.

• [Beckett is trying to covertly ID a suspect] 

  Claire Stevens : Wait. Don't I know you from somewhere? Yeah, you're married to that writer, aren't you?

  Kate Beckett : You know, I'm sure you're confusing me with somebody else.

  Claire Stevens : No. She's a cop.

• Nancy Underwood : Yes. I slept with Scott. And yes, he took photos. Obviously.

  Kate Beckett : And then he used them to blackmail you.

  Nancy Underwood : Blackmail? Where are you getting that from?

  Kate Beckett : Well, how else did your now ex-husband end up with these photos?

  Nancy Underwood : Because my ex hired Scott to sleep with me. The same thing happened with all of us, Annika and Claire. You see, our husbands wanted to trade us in for younger trophy wives without having to pay through the nose.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, because you guys had infidelity clauses in your prenups.

  Nancy Underwood : Yeah, my night with Scott cost me 12 mil.

  Kate Beckett : Uh, you do realize that you just gave me a motive for Scott's murder.

  [Beckett enters room after Castle has read a text message on her phone] 

  Richard Castle : Hey. I think your phone buzzed.

  Kate Beckett : Oh.

  [picks up phone and reads message] 

  Richard Castle : Everything all right?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, fine. Okay, I'll see you around.

  Richard Castle : See you.
