Quotes 

• Javier Esposito : Dude, I see Beckett in her jammies... wine glasses on the table...

  Richard Castle : There's nothing going on with Beckett and me. No more than there was yesterday.

  Kevin Ryan : Dude, you made her pancakes?

  Richard Castle : It's just breakfast!

  Javier Esposito : Pancakes is not just breakfast. It's an edible way of saying, "Thank you *so* much for last night."

  Kevin Ryan : Castle, come on. We're your friends. Details.

  Richard Castle : [looks around and then whispers]  All right, come here.

  [forms a huddle with Esposito and Ryan] 

  Richard Castle : [loudly]  There are no details!

  Javier Esposito : I can't even look at you right now.

  Kevin Ryan : [writing on his notepad]  Witness refuses to cooperate.

• Special Agent Jordan Shaw : So how long have you two been sleeping together?

  Kate Beckett : Um... We're-We're not sleeping together. We... He just observes me.

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Yeah, I've seen how he observes you.

  Richard Castle : No, she's right. Aside from my second wife, this is the most sexless relationship I've ever been in.

• Richard Castle : [to Alexis]  Listen... It's a fact of life... People we love leave us... Unless you chain them to... a radiator, which, for some reason, is illegal.

• Richard Castle : Oh, no, I'm not leaving. I'm here to protect you.

  Kate Beckett : What, with your vast arsenal of rapier wit?

• [first lines] 

  Richard Castle : [on phone]  Yeah, Paula, that sounds perfect.

  [listens] 

  Richard Castle : Yeah, close the deal.

  [listens] 

  Richard Castle : Thank you, and to you.

  [hangs up, then to Beckett] 

  Richard Castle : Hey.

  Kate Beckett : Hey.

  Richard Castle : Ask me why I'm here.

  Kate Beckett : You know, I ask myself that question every day.

• Kevin Ryan : Unis pulled this from a trash bin. Wallet's inside. Vic's name is Michelle Lewis.

  Javier Esposito : According to her business card, she's a dog walker.

  Kate Beckett : There's a print here... and it's... too large to be our victim's. Let's get it to the lab for...

  [Shaw snaps a photo of the purse] 

  Kate Beckett : What are you doing?

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : That print is already in the lab and being processed. No muss, no fuss, no black powder on your clothes.

  Richard Castle : [in awed jealousy]  Wow, there's an app for that?

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : That's why I joined the FBI, Mr. Castle. For the toys. Really eager to see that body.

  Richard Castle : [as Shaw leaves]  Can I take a look at that?

  [Castle moves to follow her, but Beckett stops him] 

  Richard Castle : Be a chance to check it later.

• Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Nikki Heat, I presume.

  Kate Beckett : It's Beckett. Detective Kate Beckett.

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Yeah, I read all about you in "Cosmo". And you must be the celebrity writer tag-along, Richard Castle. Special Agent Jordan Shaw.

  Richard Castle : Jordan, Jordan Shaw? The same Jordan Shaw that broke the Hudson Valley Strangler case back in 1991?

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : I also play a mean game of Scrabble. Now that we all know each other, I'd like to see the body.

  Kate Beckett : Agent Shaw, my people have already secured the area. CSU is on the scene, and we are canvassing the park, so as happy as I am to see the cavalry, there's really not much left here for you to do.

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Detective, the gods in the marble halls have sent me here to catch a killer, which I will do with or without your help. Okay? Now, can I see the body?

  Richard Castle : That is so going in the movie. Can you say that again, but start from "marble halls"?

• [Martha watching video of The Incredible Hulk when Castle comes in] 

  Richard Castle : Wow, one of your old wedding videos.

  Martha Rodgers : Are you kidding? This guy's a pushover compared to my ex-husbands.

• Richard Castle : Mother, whatever you decide, I will support you... Same way I have since the last man you lived with stole your life savings.

• [Shaw and Becket discussing Castle while he is in the backseat] 

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : [to Beckett]  So, if you're not sleeping together, why do you keep him around?

  Richard Castle : You know I can *hear* you.

• [last lines] 

  [Castle exits can and is rushing to Beckett's apartment] 

  Richard Castle : [frantically trying to call Beckett]  Come on, Beckett, pick it. Pick up the phone! Pick it up!

  Kate Beckett : [answering phone]  What, Castle?

  Richard Castle : It wasn't Ben Conrad! He's not the killer! The killer's still alive!

  [cut to Beckett's apartment with her on the phone with Castle] 

  Richard Castle : [from Beckett's phone]  The killer's still alive!

  Man on recording : [a couple of beeps then a recording plays]  Goodbye, Nikki. Goodbye, Nikki.

  [Beckett's apartment blows up]
