Episode Quotes

Kate Beckett: [after speaking to Agent Westfield privately] He told me something in confidence.
Richard Castle: What?
Kate Beckett: Well, I wish I could tell you, Castle. But it was... classified.
Richard Castle: What-what did he tell you that was classified? Was it about aliens? The truth about UFOs? Are you gonna tell me or just gonna make me keep guessing?
Kate Beckett: I don't know. This guessing thing is kind of fun.
Richard Castle: All right. Was it about what happened at Roswell?
Kate Beckett: No.
Richard Castle: Area 51?
Kate Beckett: No.
Richard Castle: Loch Ness Monster is real?
Kate Beckett: Yeah.
Richard Castle: Really?
Kate Beckett: No.
Richard Castle: [groan] Oh, you had me.
Alexis Castle: [Ashley's parents want to meet Castle and Martha] The two of them are serious people, dad. You may need to be more... buttoned up.
Richard Castle: I can be buttoned up. And if I become unbuttoned, you can discretely let me know with a brutal kick to the shin.
Kate Beckett: [entering basement with Castle and sees two Chinese men] NYPD! Stay where you are. [Men stop/drop what they're doing and put hands in air]
Richard Castle: That's a vacuum packer at one o'clock.
Kate Beckett: Looks like we've found our murder weapon. [Opens a velcro pocket on bullet-proof vest, removes a picture and asks men] Have you seen this man? [the two men look at her dumbly]
Richard Castle: [in Chinese] My partner is crazy and may start firing at any moment. [the two men point their thumbs over their shoulders]
Kate Beckett: [to the men] Go! Go! [to Castle] Semester abroad?
Richard Castle: Nah, TV show I used to love.
Kate Beckett: Ehn, nice job.
Richard Castle: Thanks.
