Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : I hate this case.

  Richard Castle : I know! Isn't it great?

• [discussing Castle's New York Times Bestseller 'Heat Wave'] 

  Kate Beckett : Wait. There's a sex scene in the book?

  [pause] 

  Kate Beckett : Between us?

  Richard Castle : There's a sex scene in the book between Nikki Heat and the roguishly handsome reporter who's helping her.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, good. So he's nothing like you.

  Richard Castle : Funny.

• Kate Beckett : Welcome to parenting a teenage girl. As someone who used to be one, you have my sympathy.

• Richard Castle : It's on page 105, by the way.

  Kate Beckett : What?

  Richard Castle : That sex scene you're looking for. And Agent Gray was right. It's steamy.

• Kate Beckett : Lanie, what do we got?

  Lanie Parish : Victim was shot once in the face with a large-caliber bullet.

  Richard Castle : Ouch.

  Lanie Parish : Oh, I don't think he felt much with a bullet that size.

  Kate Beckett : Face shots usually indicate a deep anger in the shooter. Literally trying to erase what makes the victim a person.

• Richard Castle : So, have you read it?

  Kate Beckett : Read what?

  Richard Castle : The book.

  Kate Beckett : What book?

  [Castle gives her a look] 

  Kate Beckett : Oh! Your book. "Heat Wave".

  Richard Castle : Well?

  Kate Beckett : I haven't gotten to it yet.

  Richard Castle : What do you mean you haven't gotten to it yet?

  Kate Beckett : I'm sorry. I've just been so busy with work, I haven't had time.

  Richard Castle : You were all over me to get a copy of that book. Do you have any idea how many hoops I had to jump through, just so my editor wouldn't send an armed guard to watch over you *while* you read it? The least you could do is to...

  [realization dawns on him] 

  Richard Castle : Oh.

  [chuckles] 

  Richard Castle : Oh! I see what you're doing.

  Kate Beckett : I'm not doing anything.

  Richard Castle : Oh, yes, you are. Yes, you are. You're trying to push my buttons, but it's not gonna work.

  Kate Beckett : Really?

  Richard Castle : Mmm.

  Kate Beckett : 'Cause it seems to be working just great.

• [watching a murder caught on tape] 

  Richard Castle : That was awesome! I mean, well, obviously it was horrible, but... That's not the Arctic.

  Kate Beckett : That's an apartment, but where?

• Kevin Ryan : You know what I don't get?

  Kate Beckett : Mm-hmm?

  Kevin Ryan : Why go to so much trouble to create such an elaborate scam? Fletcher must have spent *weeks* going through all the prep work.

  Kate Beckett : I can give you 50,000 reasons why.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, but for con men, it's not just about the money. I mean, for them, it's about the game. The... the thrill they get from pulling a con, it's like a drug high.

  Captain Roy Montgomery : [approaching]  Con man was on drugs?

  Kate Beckett : No, sir. Castle is just giving us psychological insight based on his extensive experience as a fraud.

• Kate Beckett : It's really a kind of a psychopathy. To be so cold that you can look someone in the eye, tell them that you love them, and then rob them blind without the slightest remorse.

  Richard Castle : Whoa, I just flashed back to the eighth grade. Sherry Ort. Broke my heart, stole my lunch money.

  Kate Beckett : [her phone rings]  Beckett.

  Richard Castle : Then she laughed about it with her friends.

• Kate Beckett : Okay, Castle. What was so important that you had to cut my sparring session short?

  Richard Castle : Just that I cracked this case wide open. You know, the thought of you fighting in a ring with another woman... Strangely arousing.

  Kate Beckett : Who says I was sparring with a woman?

  Richard Castle : Oh, your mystery date.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, do I detect some jealousy?

  Richard Castle : Me, jealous? Ha! Double ha.

  Kate Beckett : [teasing]  What if I told you that my date... was with your book?

  Richard Castle : Really?

  Kate Beckett : [seriously]  No. God, you're easy.

• Elise Finnegan : Steven wasn't a con man.

  Kate Beckett : Elise, we...

  Elise Finnegan : He wasn't. He was in the CIA.

  Richard Castle : [barely able to contain his excitement]  This is the best case ever.

  Kate Beckett : Shut up.

• Kate Beckett : Who are you calling?

  Richard Castle : My guy in the CIA.

  Kate Beckett : You have a guy in the CIA?

  Richard Castle : When you gonna learn? I've got a guy *everywhere*.
