Quotes 

• Lanie Parish : Multiple GSWs. Entries look fairly small-caliber, probably a .22.

  Kate Beckett : [seeing words scribbled on the victim's face]  "Psycho The Rapist"? "Your out of time"?

  Lanie Parish : Looks like a patient lost their patience.

  Richard Castle : Also his command of grammar. "Your" should be U-apostrophe-R-E, as in "you are". That's not even a tough one, not like when to use "who" or "whom.

  Kate Beckett : Do you really think *that's* the take-away here, Castle?

  Richard Castle : I'm just saying whoever killed her also murdered the English language.

• [Lanie arrives at the crime scene in an evening dress with a low neck-line] 

  Kate Beckett : Dr. Parish. When'd they change the dress code downtown?

  Lanie Parish : Well, unlike you, I don't sit around work all night waiting for the next vic to show.

  [without looking up she continues] 

  Lanie Parish : Quit looking at the girls, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Roger that.

• Richard Castle : Oh, and by the way, it's a common mistake, but it's not ironic that Dr. Cosway's not here for you to lean on. It's just simply tragic. It'd be ironic if her death made you feel better.

• [Beckett, Esposito, and Ryan are stuck on their respective cases] 

  Kate Beckett : It's just we've been over these cases so many times, it's hard to see straight anymore. All right. We'll start over. Fresh eyes. You take our murder, we'll take yours.

  Javier Esposito : All right.

  Richard Castle : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Say that again.

  Kate Beckett : You take our murder, we'll take yours.

  Richard Castle : Could it be that easy? You take mine, I'll take yours.

  Javier Esposito : What are you getting at, Castle?

  Richard Castle : "Strangers on a Train".

  Kevin Ryan : The Hitchcock movie?

  Richard Castle : I'm partial to the novel by Patricia Highsmith, but yes. We have two *strong* suspects, but with airtight alibis, right?

  [Castle takes pictures of suspects off the murder board] 

  Javier Esposito : Right.

  Richard Castle : We know they're connected. What if the connection is the killers?

  Kate Beckett : Jason and Eric committed each other's murders.

  Richard Castle : And made sure they had an *airtight* alibi for the murder they knew they'd be suspected of. It's not our victims who are connected. It's our murderers! Crisscross!

• Kate Beckett : Are we really rooting against solving a murder?

  Richard Castle : Well, I don't want to shave my head, do you?

  Kate Beckett : Why would I shave my head?

  Richard Castle : You're in on the bet, aren't you?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, but I didn't realize...

  [Castle pantomimes running an electric razor over his head] 

• [first lines] 

  [the squad room is a complete zoo while Beckett calmly drinks coffee and Castle eats pop-corn and enjoys the 'show'] 

  Richard Castle : [to Beckett]  What is it about... full moons that bring out all the crazies?

• Richard Castle : Secrets, murder, and gambling. Three of my favorite pastimes.

• Richard Castle : Oh, that is so... budding sociopath.

• Richard Castle : Bam, said the lady.

• Richard Castle : Well, whoever she had dinner with may have been the last person to see her alive.

  Kate Beckett : Or the first one to see her dead.

• Javier Esposito : Got another. Pop-and drop on Hundredth and Second.

  Richard Castle : Full moon strikes again.

  Kate Beckett : [to Esposito and Ryan]  All right, you guys go on uptown and I'll finish up here.

  Kevin Ryan : So much for my famous warm honey-milk with Jenny tonight.

  [pause] 

  Kevin Ryan : Did I just say that out loud?

• [last lines] 

  [to Ryan and Esposito about who solved their case first] 

  Richard Castle : [laughing]  Yeah, well, then how about NASCAR? As our car flew to the checkered line, you guys crashed and burned.

  Kate Beckett : Under a beautiful full moon.
