- [looking for Beckett in her burning apartment]
- Richard Castle: Kate!
- [rushes into the bathroom, then sees her in the tub]
- Richard Castle: You're alive! Oh... and you're naked.
- Kate Beckett: Castle, turn around!
- Richard Castle: [turns around quickly] You know, your apartment *is* on fire, now might not be the best time for modesty.
- Kate Beckett: [exasperated] Castle, hand me a towel!
- [glances toward the towels, they're burning]
- Richard Castle: The towels are on fire.
- Kate Beckett: Well, what about the bathrobe?
- Richard Castle: The...
- [glances at the bathrobe, it's on fire too]
- Richard Castle: Do you have anything to wear that's non-flammable?
- [automatically starts to turn towards her]
- Kate Beckett: Castle!
- Richard Castle: [turns away quickly] Sorry.
- Kate Beckett: Hey.
- Richard Castle: Hey. Where is everybody?
- Kate Beckett: Ryan and Esposito are talking to Conrad's sister, and Agent Shaw is briefing the mayor.
- Richard Castle: Oh. I'm sure he'll be less than thrilled to learn that Conrad is just another victim.
- Kate Beckett: Hmm.
- Richard Castle: Nothing like the threat of being murdered by a serial killer to stifle tourism.
- Special Agent Jordan Shaw: Castle, what part of "un-ass" don't you understand?
- Richard Castle: All of it.
- Special Agent Jordan Shaw: For future reference, it means get the hell out and don't take anything.
- Richard Castle: Un-ass. Nice.
- [writing in his notepad]
- Richard Castle: Un-ass.
- Special Agent Jordan Shaw: Is he always like this?
- Kate Beckett: Castle has the attention span of a cocker spaniel.
- Special Agent Jordan Shaw: Mmm. And the loyalty. The way he follows you around. From what I've observed, this unorthodox... partnership... works well for you.
- Richard Castle: I've got good news.
- Kate Beckett: Yeah?
- Richard Castle: I talked to Avery about buying one of those incredible Fed-mobiles. No, without the weapons, of course, but I could stock it with my own gadgets. I could get "Writer" airbrushed across the back window.
- [Beckett starts walking away]
- Richard Castle: Ryan and Esposito have a better *car* than you do. I'm just... I'm embarrassed to have criminals in the back of that thing. I don't know about your seat, but mine's got a spring that hits me in the...
- Special Agent Jordan Shaw: [to Beckett] Stay in the van. You're the target.
- Richard Castle: Now you know what it's like for me.
- [helping Beckett limp from her burning apartment]
- Richard Castle: Nice and easy. Are you in any pain?
- Kate Beckett: Well, not nearly as much as you. It's killing you, isn't it?
- Richard Castle: What?
- Kate Beckett: Having to wait this long to tell me how you banged down the door.
- Richard Castle: You want me to start at the beginning?
- [going into a building where the killer may be]
- Kate Beckett: [holds out a gun to Castle] Here.
- Richard Castle: [unsure] Want me to hold it while you tie your shoe?
- [first lines]
- [Castle rushing into Beckett's apartment which has been blown up and is on fire]
- Richard Castle: Kate! Are you in there? Kate?
- Special Agent Jordan Shaw: You can't take this personally.
- Kate Beckett: The hell I can't. He just blew up my apartment. I think that's pretty damn personal.
- Martha Rodgers: Well... she cooks.
- Kate Beckett: Actually, my mom was an amazing cook. She used to make Sunday brunch, and I would get the choice of between pancakes, omelets, waffles...
- Richard Castle: Wow, that's funny, every Sunday my mom would have me make her an ice pack and a Bloody Mary.
- Special Agent Jordan Shaw: Castle, thank you for your help. You are a valuable asset to Detective Beckett's team.
- Richard Castle: Well, it would be great if you would call her and remind her of that from time to time.
- [last lines]
- [after having decided to move in with Chet, Martha tells Alexis and Castle she actually plans to come back to the apartment often]
- Richard Castle: Well, I hope you'll be comfortable sleeping in the home theater chairs I'm having delivered to your room... They do recline.
- Martha Rodgers: Ah...
