- Richard Castle: Does he look like a killer to you?
- Kate Beckett: Everybody looks like a killer to me, Castle. Job requirement.
- Richard Castle: Do I look like a killer to you?
- Kate Beckett: Yes. You kill my patience.
- Richard Castle: What?
- Kate Beckett: Nothing.
- [pause]
- Kate Beckett: It's just, I'm so used to you acting like a 12-year-old all the time, it's kind of refreshing to see you as a father.
- Richard Castle: It makes you want me, right?
- Kate Beckett: And there's the 12-year-old again.
- Kate Beckett: She have a drug problem?
- Alexis Castle: Well, she used to. She went to rehab three months ago, after her friends found her choking on her own...
- Richard Castle: Okay! You know, I... You know what? I think it's time we reset the parental controls on your computer.
- Alexis Castle: Please. I had to set parental control on your computer, remember?
- [listening to a song song Hayley wrote about an obsessed fan/stalker]
- Javier Esposito: "Fifty feet or less."
- Kate Beckett: She got a restraining order against him. All right, run it and get me a name.
- Richard Castle: [leading Alexis away] And... you... will go off to school.
- Alexis Castle: But I was just helpful.
- Richard Castle: Yes, but if I let you out of class every time you were helpful, you'd never go.
- Alexis Castle: But I won't be able to focus on school today. I just... can't concentrate.
- Richard Castle: Which will make you just like all the other kids in your class.
- Kate Beckett: [analyzing Haley's lyrics] Okay, so she wasn't hiding from death, she was hiding from change.
- Richard Castle: She hated Obama!
- Richard Castle: Do you still have truant officers?
- Roy Montgomery: Budget cuts.
- Richard Castle: You are so lucky.
- Javier Esposito: Found your stalker. Franco Marquez, AKA Frankie Markie. Hayley filed half a dozen complaints against him. It says here that he even tried to break into her apartment. And when she filed against him, he showed up in court and called her a...
- [stops, looks at Castle and Alexis]
- Javier Esposito: ...B-I-T-C-H.
- Richard Castle: She can spell, Detective.
- Kevin Ryan: Probably better then you.
- Kate Beckett: How did you kill her?
- Sky Blue: I told her to do the world a favor and drop dead. And then she did. It's funny, she usually doesn't listen to me.
- [after Perlmutter abrubtly ends a phone call]
- Kate Beckett: He just hung up on me.
- Richard Castle: There's a reason he hangs out with dead people.
- Richard Castle: Who's John McGinnis?
- Alexis Castle: Hayley's old manager. She fired him when she got clean. She didn't say his name, but in her interview with "Spin" last month, she pretty much implied that he's the one that got her hooked to begin with.
- Richard Castle: If the band got back together, he'd have the most to gain.
- Martha Rodgers: Now, does that man look like a killer to you?
- Richard Castle: [quoting Beckett] Everybody looks like a killer to me. It's a job requirement.
- Alexis Castle: You didn't say that about Sky.
- Richard Castle: Just... let me have this moment.
- Richard Castle: If you killed someone, you would tell me, right?
- Alexis Castle: Of course.
- [pause]
- Alexis Castle: I'd need help hiding the body.
- [approaching Beckett as she looks at her phone strangely and slowly hangs up]
- Richard Castle: I was just thinking, if she was using again, that would explain why she left her producers, but not why she was killed, who killed her, or why she went to the police...
- [seeing her expression, he trails off]
- Richard Castle: What I just said was not confusing enough for your face to do what it's doing.
- Kevin Ryan: Hey. So... I just took a report from the receiving officer at the 20th Precinct. He recognized Hayley from the news.
- Kate Beckett: And?
- Kevin Ryan: He says Hayley showed up at their door to file a report the *day* she went missing.
- Richard Castle: About what?
- Kevin Ryan: He doesn't know. She asked to speak with a detective. By the time the receiving officer found one, she'd skipped out.
- Javier Esposito: There's only one reason you go to the cops... to report a crime.
- Kate Beckett: Or to get help because you think you're in danger.
- Richard Castle: When did you replace the panel on this baffle?
- Bree Busch: Well, I don't think it's ever been replaced.
- Richard Castle: Yeah, it has. It's newer than the other ones.
- [Castle detaches a panel]
- Bree Busch: Could you be careful, please? That's expensive equipment.
- Kate Beckett: Castle, what are you doing?
- [Castle exposes part of the wall with a piece of duct tape on it; he peels the tape off, revealing a bullet hole]
- Richard Castle: Apparently, I'm uncovering a bullet hole.
- Kate Beckett: So what are you gonna tell Alexis?
- Richard Castle: What I always tell her... The truth.
- Richard Castle: [after questioning Hayley's former manager] I never fully appreciated the nuances of the word "skeevy" until just now.
- [interrupting a fight between Zack and Sky]
- Richard Castle: What did you do to her?
- Zack Metzger: Nothing, man! She attacked me. We were riffing on Hayley's songs. One minute, she's singing along, the next minute, she goes postal, starts telling me I'm stealing from Hayley. She's crazy!
- Richard Castle: It doesn't look good, Zack. Beating up one Blue, killing another.
- Zack Metzger: Look, I already told you guys...
- Kate Beckett: [entering, asserting her authority] Sit down! Sit!
- [Zack sits down]
- Kate Beckett: Now talk.
- [first lines]
- [Castle playing "Guitar Hero", he stops when he sees Alexis with tears in her eyes]
- Richard Castle: Hey.
- [turns off the game]
- Richard Castle: What's wrong?
- Alexis Castle: Dad, they're saying she's dead.
- Richard Castle: Who's dead?
- Alexis Castle: Hayley Blue. The Gawker website just posted it.
- Richard Castle: Oh, the girl from the band you like.
- Alexis Castle: They say they found her body in an alley in Chelsea.
- Richard Castle: Oh, angel, are you sure it's not just a rumor? I mean, those gossip blogs, they don't really check facts.
- Alexis Castle: They were right when they said Haley was breaking up the band to go solo.
- Richard Castle: Look, if there was *any* truth to it, I'm sure Detective Beckett would've called by now.
- [his cell phone rings]
- [last lines]
- Sky Blue: Hayley Maria Blue, we love and miss you. This one's for you.
- [sings Hayley's last song]
