Richard Castle : [signing autographs at SuperNovaCon] All right. Where do you want it?
Kate Beckett : [breathy voice] Could you sign my chest?
[Castle looks up, his eyes wide]
Kate Beckett : [normal voice] Wow. That actually caught your attention.
Richard Castle : What are you doing here?
Kate Beckett : You'd know if you'd answer your phone.
Richard Castle : Listen, if you want your very own signed copy of "Storm Season", I'd be happy to arrange a private signing.
Kate Beckett : Cap your pen, Castle. There's been a murder here.
Richard Castle : Here at SuperNovaCon?
Kate Beckett : Mm-hmm.
Richard Castle : Shiny.
-
Richard Castle : I'm sorry, how is "Nebula 9" worthy of all this? I mean, they were canceled over a decade ago. After twelve episodes. Which was twelve episodes too many.
Kate Beckett : But I thought you would be a fan.
Richard Castle : I'm a fan of *good* sci-fi. "Star Trek", "Battlestar", that Joss Whedon show. But "Nebula 9"? No, no. It's all phony melodrama and lifeless acting.
[they enter the crime scene]
Kate Beckett : [awed] Wow.
Richard Castle : Okay, this is a cool ship. The show is still lame, but this is a cool ship.
-
[autographing a copy of "Storm Season"]
Richard Castle : And here you go.
Richard Castle Fan : Thanks. I'm your number one fan!
Richard Castle : Well, thanks for coming.
[after fan leave, to himself]
Richard Castle : How far they fall.
-
Kate Beckett : So I was a "Nebula 9" fan. Big deal.
Richard Castle : Oh, you were beyond a fan. You dressed up in costume. *You*.
Kate Beckett : [sighs] Okay, yes. I was a sci-fi loving, costume-wearing geek. And you know what? Not ashamed of it or of "Nebula 9". Despite what you think, it was an *awesome* show.
Richard Castle : Hmm. I'll tell you what. I'll forgive you your terrible taste if you... try on that "Nebula 9" costume for me.
Kate Beckett : In your dreams.
Richard Castle : Look at my life. My dreams come true.
-
[about Alexis and her skimpy sci-fi con outfit]
Richard Castle : Well... i can see how anabelle felt betrayed. Some guys have no business commanding a spaceship.
Kate Beckett : Just goes to show you sometimes people aren't what they appear to be.
Richard Castle : For Alexis' sake, you're right, given what she was wearing.
Kate Beckett : Castle, she is a full-grown *woman*.
Richard Castle : Who, as we speak, is being ogled by thousands of sweaty, lecherous fanboys. It's just so... wrong.
Kate Beckett : Can I just point out the fact that the costume that she was wearing is not so different from the one that you are asking me to wear?
Richard Castle : Don't say that! That... It's so confusing, and disturbing.
-
Kate Beckett : So, do you have a cause of death?
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : It was a burn. A burn that penetrated tissue, muscle, and bone, leaving this perfectly cylindrical hole.
Kate Beckett : Well, what kind of burn does that?
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Well, one created by high levels of infrared radiation. The blood vessels were *cauterized* by the intense heat.
Kate Beckett : Are you saying...
Richard Castle : She was killed by a phaser?
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : [hesitant] Well, as much as it pains me, Mr. Castle is... largely correct. She was killed by a high intensity laser beam.
Richard Castle : A real sci-fi murder
[lowered voice]
Richard Castle : at a sci-fi convention. This keeps getting better!
-
Kate Beckett : Mr. Winters, where were you last night between 10 and 11? And don't say your hotel room.
Gabriel Winters : You can't be insinuating I had something to do with Annabelle's death? I told you everything I know.
[Castle sees the laser gun strapped to his costume]
Richard Castle : Then you wouldn't mind relinquishing your weapon.
Gabriel Winters : This Thorian Blaster was given to me by the Vice-Chancellor of Loron when I helped save the Queen...
Richard Castle : Oh, for the love of Pete.
[Castle grabs the blaster and fires it; much to everyone's surprise, the laser works and burns a large hole in the set]
Richard Castle : [quietly] "Zap," said the lady... You are so busted.
-
Henry Barnett : Kate Beckett! K-Bex! I knew it was you!
Kate Beckett : [surprised] Oh! Henry Barnett. Well, it's been... years.
Henry Barnett : Since our first semester at Stanford.
Richard Castle : "K-Bex"?
Kate Beckett : Umm...
[to Henry]
Kate Beckett : Uh, do you think we could catch up later? I'm actually here... for work.
Henry Barnett : Oh, well, that explains why you aren't wearing your "Nebula 9" outfit.
Richard Castle : [his interest piqued] You, uh... You have a "Nebula 9" outfit?
Henry Barnett : Oh, she had a few. She was a *megafan*. You should've seen her as Lieutenant Chloe. Oh, wait, you can. Remember that photo we all took? I brought it to get it signed.
Richard Castle : May I?
Henry Barnett : [showing Castle the photo] It's us from back in the day.
Richard Castle : Ooh!
Henry Barnett : Isn't it frakking awesome?
Kate Beckett : It's frakking something. Henry, I need that photo.
Henry Barnett : What? Why?
Kate Beckett : [holding up her badge] It's official NYPD business... Don't make me ask again.
-
Kate Beckett : [entering the morgue] Perlmutter.
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Detective Beckett.
Richard Castle : Perlmutter.
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : And non-detective Castle.
-
Kate Beckett : You're right, okay? It was a stupid show. It was cheesy and melodramatic... I mean, a handful of Academy Cadets on a training mission, and, suddenly, the Earth is destroyed and they're all that's left of humanity? I completely understand why you hated it. But, Castle, I also understand why people *loved* it. Why Annabelle loved it. It was about leaving home for the first time, about searching for your identity and making a difference. I loved dressing up like Lt. Chloe. She didn't care what anybody thought about her, and I kind of did at that time... I mean, she was a scientist and a warrior, and that was all in spite of the way that she *looked*... It was like, I could be anything, and I didn't have to choose... So don't make fun, okay?
Richard Castle : Okay.
Kate Beckett : And besides, it didn't hurt that my legs looked *great* in her outfit.
-
Richard Castle : Perlmutter! Good to see you.
M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Ah! If only the feeling were mutual.
-
Richard Castle : What about you? How are, how are you doing?
Kate Beckett : I'm fine. Why?
Richard Castle : Well, it's hard to see your idols fall.
Kate Beckett : Oh, Castle, Stephanie Frye was never my idol. Lt. Chloe was. And as far as I'm concerned, she's still out there fighting evil and saving humanity. And no self-centered actor's ever gonna take that from me... And you know what? If they do make a movie, I'm gonna be first in line to see it.
-
Richard Castle : Annabelle said she was betrayed by someone she trusted. Maybe that was Captain Max.
[Alexis and her friends in skimpy costumes walked by, Castle sees Alexis]
Richard Castle : Oh, my God! Alexis?
Alexis Castle : [Alexis and her friends turn around] Dad? What are you doing here?
Richard Castle : What are you doing here dressed like that?
Alexis Castle : We're Havacura. It's a tribe of female assassins who...
Richard Castle : Don't wear clothes?
Alexis Castle : You're overacting. And you're embarrassing me.
Richard Castle : Oh, I'm embarrassing you? I'm the one who's dressed.
[Castle tries to put his coat on Alexis]
Alexis Castle : Dad!
Kate Beckett : [Beckett grabs Castle and pulls him away] Castle, come on. Let's go.
Richard Castle : Are you kidding me? Do you see what she's wearing?
[Alexis leaves with her friends]
Kate Beckett : Yeah, it's not that bad.
Richard Castle : Not that bad? How am I gonna unsee that?
-
Kate Beckett : How is it possible that she's killed by a *laser*?
Richard Castle : Easy. Someone shot her with a laser gun.
Kate Beckett : Real ones don't exist, Castle.
Richard Castle : Actually, they do. There is an Advanced Tactical Laser that could melt a hole in a tank from five miles away.
Kate Beckett : Read about it. It's as big as a truck.
Richard Castle : Yes, well, obviously someone has constructed a portable hand-held version.
Kate Beckett : Like who?
Richard Castle : Well, let's go back to the e-mails of the crazed "Nebula 9" fans. And when I say "crazed fans", I'm... I'm not referring to you. You... are a megafan.
Kate Beckett : Nice one, coming from the guy with a life-sized Boba Fett in his bathroom.
Richard Castle : Point taken.
-
[on the bridge of the "Nebula 9" ship]
Kate Beckett : I can't tell you how many times I have had dreams about being in this very ship.
Richard Castle : Sexy dreams?... You know, it's never too late to live out your fantasy.
Kate Beckett : You do realize that this is still a crime scene?
Richard Castle : Oh, right. Ew.
-
Richard Castle : Do I look different to you?
Kate Beckett : No... why?
Richard Castle : Just, I feel so tingly. Something's wrong. I'm beginning to mutate like the Hulk or the Thing. Or worse, the Leader. What would happened to my hair?
Kate Beckett : I prefer Dr. Manhattan... The blue skin, brings out your blue eyes.
-
Richard Castle : Hey, tell me, you guys, do you think my hair is thinning?
Kate Beckett : You're not losing your hair, Castle.
Richard Castle : Okay, so if I wake up bald tomorrow, you'll still be attracted to me?
[Beckett doesn't know what to say]
Richard Castle : Oh, my God. You wouldn't.
Kate Beckett : I didn't say that.
[gets in the elevator]
Richard Castle : No, but you were thinking it. I could see it in your...
Javier Esposito : With that pumpkin head? Dude.
-
Richard Castle : And, speaking of fantasies, how about we live out one of yours? What do you say to a little "Nebula 9" cosplay?
[Beckett rolls her eyes]
Richard Castle : Come on, it'll be fun. I'll serve you breakfast in bed for a week.
[Beckett scoffs]
Richard Castle : And, I'll do your laundry.
Kate Beckett : Okay, fine. Do you really want to see me in one of my old costumes?
Richard Castle : Yes, please.
Kate Beckett : Then you have to promise that you're gonna watch a "Nebula 9" marathon with me.
Richard Castle : Uh...
[Beckett holds out her hand for a handshake agreement; Castle is reluctant to accept]
Kate Beckett : And... no making fun.
[Castle is still reluctant, but finally gives in]
Richard Castle : You drive a hard bargain, but okay.
-
Richard Castle : "Danger. Do not enter." That is just the sort of sign you'd expect to see on the lair of an evil, laser-gun-making genius.
[Castle knocks on the door, then peeks under the partially ajar bottom]
Richard Castle : It's pitch black inside. But the door's partially open. I would say that's an invitation, wouldn't you?
-
[last lines]
Kate Beckett : [off screen] Okay, promise not to laugh.
Richard Castle : I promise. Come on. Quit stalling. Come out already.
Kate Beckett : Ready?
Richard Castle : [sitting up in anticipation] Ready.
[in slow motion, Beckett seductively teases her appearance, before jumping out in her Lt. Chloe costume and a Creaver mask and Castle jumps up in fright and falls off the bed]
Kate Beckett : Do you like it? Huh?
Richard Castle : That's not what you... That's not...
Kate Beckett : You wanna make out, Castle?
[roars]
Richard Castle : [backing away] No...
Kate Beckett : Come on, just a quick snog, right here on the lips. Isn't this what your dreams are made of?
[Beckett growls and laughs, while Castle hurries to hide, locking the door behind him]
Kate Beckett : [knocking on the door] Castle, are we gonna make out?
Richard Castle : Maybe you... we should start with the "Nebula 9" marathon.
-
Kate Beckett : Look, the fact is you had means, motive, and opportunity. And we checked with your hotel. You left at 9:45 p.m. and returned at 11. That's the *exact* time-window of Annabelle's murder.
Gabriel Winters : I was busy handling a personal issue that I would rather not discuss.
Kate Beckett : You're facing a murder charge.
Richard Castle : Okay, look, we already know about the threesome with the Lt. Chloes. How bad can it be?
Gabriel Winters : Well, let's just say my, um... weakness for fleeting romance... left me with a burning desire to see my doctor last night.
Richard Castle : And it just got worse.
[Beckett gags and covers her mouth]
-
Richard Castle : Everyone in this room had a relationship with the victim. Each of you had either motive or opportunity to kill her. Uh... Ms. Frye, would you do me the honor of a little improvisation?
Gabriel Winters : Trust me, that woman needs a script.
Stephanie Frye : [annoyed] I'm happy to help.
Richard Castle : Ms. Frye will be playing Annabelle Collins. I will be the killer. Annabelle had the murder weapon on her the night she died.
[to Stepanie as he hands her a blaster]
Richard Castle : Don't worry, this one's just a toy.
[to the group]
Richard Castle : Now, the killer confronts Annabelle. Annabelle, presumably to protect herself, drew her blaster. They struggled for the gun. The killer overpower...
[to Stephanie as she struggles to hold on to the blaster]
Richard Castle : I-I need you to resist just a little less.
Stephanie Frye : Oh.
Gabriel Winters : Told ya.
