  Richard Castle : I use Ryan's computer for that.

• Richard Castle : What are you ladies doing?

  Martha Rodgers : Mmm... Alexis is assisting me in creating a MyFace account.

  Richard Castle : I think you mean...

  Alexis Castle : Save your breath. I've been correcting her all morning.

  Martha Rodgers : Well, it's my face, isn't it? It's not your face or someone else's face. I don't... Well, anyway. My fellow cast members have been raving about what fun it is, what a great networking tool it is, so... here I am.

  Alexis Castle : And now you just need to select a photo for your profile page.

  Martha Rodgers : Okay. Should we go...

  [holds up a young photo] 

  Martha Rodgers : ... dramatic? Or...

  [holds up another young photo] 

  Martha Rodgers : ... commercial? Or...

  [holds up another young photo] 

  Martha Rodgers : ... *sassy*?

  Martha Rodgers : Why, you think the hair's a bit dated?

  Richard Castle : Not exactly what I was getting at.

• Richard Castle : [answering phone]  Yes, Beckett. Either there's a dead body or you just want to hear my sultry voice.

  [pause] 

  Richard Castle : Dead body it is. Where?

• [watching Beckett inform the victim's sister of his death] 

  Richard Castle : How does she do that?

  Captain Roy Montgomery : Better than anyone I know.

  [Castle notices that Montgomery seems to be a little upset] 

  Richard Castle : You okay?

  Captain Roy Montgomery : Her brother died trying to get something to me... No, I'm not okay.

• Kate Beckett : Okay, but we still have the original murder from ten years ago. Everything started there.

  Captain Roy Montgomery : Two fresh bodies, and you wanna look at a murder *ten* years cold?

  Richard Castle : Uh... When I'm writing a story, the beginning is always the hardest. But if you *nail* that, the rest of it can just fall into place.

  Captain Roy Montgomery : Castle, this is not one of your books.

  Richard Castle : No, but it is a mystery. And all mysteries *are* the same. Motive, opportunity, cover-up, conscience. These murders today were to cover up one ten years ago. That's where your leads are gonna be. Come on, Captain, what do you say? Let's take a little trip down memory lane.

• [in the morgue where Perlmutter is eating his lunch] 

  Richard Castle : You sure it's sanitary to be... eating here?

  Richard Castle : I couldn't.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Homemade.

  Richard Castle : I *couldn't*.

• [Martha can't decide whether or not to accept an old flame's MySpace friend request] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, Mother, come on! Accept the man's friend request, already.

  Martha Rodgers : Using that old photo was a horrible idea. Why didn't you stop me?

  Richard Castle : Since when have I had the power to stop you from doing anything?

  Martha Rodgers : What will Chet think if he expects 1980s Martha and... pfft, present-day Martha shows up?

  Richard Castle : You tell anyone I said this, and I'll deny it. And I'm only gonna say it once. 1980s Martha was pretty great... But present-day Martha is... pretty spectacular, too.

• [last lines] 

  Martha Rodgers : Don't wait up for me, kids. Mama's on the *prowl*.

  [leaves for her date] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, that poor bastard.

  Alexis Castle : [sighs]  Is insanity inherited?

• Richard Castle : Pierson Club? That's high society, that's creme de la creme. My money goes in banks, their money buys banks.

• Alexis Castle : I can't believe how many lives were ruined over one woman's need to protect her family's reputation.

  Richard Castle : You will never have this problem. Between Grams and myself, our family reputation's already in ruins.
