Stana Katic: Kate Beckett

Quotes 

• Sgt. Roman : Mr. Castle, what happened? What is going on in there?

  Richard Castle : We got problems. Emma is unstable, to say the least. But that's not the worst of it. There's a hostage in there. He's seen "Die Hard" too many times. He's gonna try and be a hero. And there's something else I think you need to know.

  Kate Beckett : What's that?

  Richard Castle : Emma might actually be telling the truth.

  Kate Beckett : The truth about what?

  Richard Castle : Beckett, I think she's being framed for murder.

• [searching for something at her old desk, which is now Sully's, half-eaten food falls onto the floor] 

  Kate Beckett : How does Sully find anything on this desk

  Richard Castle : I don't know. He must have a system. I think that was once a bagel.

• Javier Esposito : You know, Beckett, despite your fiancé's near-death, today was fun.

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, we miss working with you.

  Kate Beckett : Good.

  [smiles and holds up her badge] 

  Kate Beckett : 'Cause I'm back.

• Kate Beckett : [whispers]  Castle... are you asleep?

  Richard Castle : Yes.

  Kate Beckett : Then why'd you answer me?

  Richard Castle : I'm sleep talking. Also known as somniloquy. Just ignore me.

  Kate Beckett : I don't know what to do.

  Richard Castle : I have some ideas.

  Kate Beckett : No, Castle, I'm talking about my life. I don't know what to do about my life. I haven't been out of work since I was fifteen. I cannot believe that the FBI fired me. And I can't get my job back at the NYPD because of the Commissioner's stupid hiring freeze. I might as well just apply to become a *mall* cop.

  Richard Castle : Ooh. You would look great on a Segway. But, you know, Beckett, you don't have to decide right away.

  Kate Beckett : Come on, Castle. What are you saying? What am I gonna do? Just sleep in every morning and screw around till the *phone* rings? What kind of life is that?

  Richard Castle : Mine.

  Kate Beckett : Sorry.

• Sgt. Roman : So, we're gonna need a code word that tells us that you need help. What, uh, what's your favorite food?

  Richard Castle : Oh, um... Are we talking everyday food or fine dining? If desserts are included, there's...

  Kate Beckett : Cheeseburgers. He loves cheeseburgers.

  Richard Castle : I do enjoy a good cheeseburger.

• Lanie Parish : Girl, what are you doing here?

  Kate Beckett : Uh, Captain Gates said that I could come.

  Lanie Parish : That's not what I meant. Shouldn't you be off looking at wedding venues or something?

  Kate Beckett : No. We haven't even set a date. We're just trying to enjoy our engagement. Why is everyone trying to rush us?

  Kevin Ryan : Think you're being rushed now, wait until after the wedding. Not ten minutes from the altar, they'll all be like, "When are you two having a baby?"

  Javier Esposito : Bro, your wife's hormonal because she's pregnant. What's your excuse?

• Richard Castle : I just mean that you're with me now, you don't have to work.

  Kate Beckett : I don't need to work? Does that mean you're my... sugar daddy?

  Richard Castle : Oh. Hold on, that didn't... come out the... Actually, I'm still sleep-talking. I can't really be held responsible for whatever I say.

• [Castle is preparing to confront Emma face to face] 

  Kate Beckett : Listen... I'm kind of looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you, so don't do anything stupid in there, okay?

  Richard Castle : Hey, don't worry. I think I already hit my stupid quota for the day.

• [during a struggle for Emma's gun, Castle is shot in his vest] 

  Richard Castle : Wow, it worked!

  [looking down at where the bullet impacted] 

  Richard Castle : She dotted the "I"!

  Kate Beckett : Yes!

  [relieved he's okay, she hugs him tightly] 

  Richard Castle : Ahh! Chest. Ooh! That hurts.

  Kate Beckett : [letting him go]  All right. Yeah, well, getting hit by a projectile traveling at a thousand feet per second's gonna... sting a bit.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, I think that's gonna leave a mark.

  Kate Beckett : All that matters is you're okay now.

  Richard Castle : Oh, I'm better than okay, Beckett. I know who the killer is.

• [Beckett has absent-mindedly given Esposito and Ryan an order to follow a lead] 

  Javier Esposito : You are aware that you don't actually work here anymore, right?

  Kate Beckett : I'm sorry. Old habits.

• [looking at his bullet-proof vest which has saved his life] 

  Richard Castle : Wow. And to think you boys mocked me when I had this made four years ago. I think I'll have it framed.

  Kevin Ryan : Hey, what does it say about your writing when your number one fan tries to kill you?

  Richard Castle : That was an accident.

  Javier Esposito : Been one inch higher, it would've been a tragedy.

  Richard Castle : But on the bright side, your autographed copies of "Deadly Heat" would be worth *way* more.

  Kate Beckett : [approaching]  Not funny, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Little bit funny.

• Sgt. Roman : [briefing Castle about the hostage situation]  We'll make contact, see how everyone's doing, take Emma's temperature, find out what she wants. And then we'll put a plan together. All you have to do is talk.

  Kate Beckett : Well, if there's one thing you excel at, Castle, it's talking.

• Captain Victoria Gates : What are you thinking?

  Kate Beckett : Sir, are you sure that this woman doesn't have a record?

  Captain Victoria Gates : Why?

  Kate Beckett : Because she seems to have a deep mistrust of the police.

  Captain Victoria Gates : Well, obviously, there's more to her than what's in the system.

  Kate Beckett : Look, I know I'm not on the job anymore, but...

  Captain Victoria Gates : You wanna work the crime scene.

  Kate Beckett : It can't hurt to have an extra pair of eyes. And the more we find out about Emma, the better chance we'll have of getting Castle and the hostages...

  Captain Victoria Gates : Go.

• [last lines] 

  Kevin Ryan : Hey, everybody, listen up! Beckett is back!

  Richard Castle : And tonight at The Old Haunt, drinks are on the house!

  Javier Esposito : Nice.

  Richard Castle : Congratulations.

  Kate Beckett : Thank you.

  [they start to kiss but Castle stops] 

  Richard Castle : I- Whoa. Actually, no, we can't. Not here. It's, uh, inappropriate. This is the workplace, we've gotta be professional.

  Kate Beckett : Uh, well, you know, I'm not officially back until tomorrow.

  Richard Castle : I see.

  [kisses Beckett]
