Quotes
-
Richard Castle : Thank you.
Kate Beckett : For what?
Richard Castle : For using "irony" correctly. Ever since that Alanis Morissette song, people use it when they actually mean "coincidence". It drives me nuts.

[last lines]
Kate Beckett : [on phone] Okay. I'll be right there.
[Beckett ends the call and starts walking away]
Richard Castle : Where are you going?
Kate Beckett : [as she continues to walk] That was Esposito, there's been a murder.
[after a few more steps, she stops and turns around]
Kate Beckett : Are you coming or what?
[Castle runs up to her]
Kate Beckett : Do you really expect me to believe that you had nothing to do with that phone call?
Richard Castle : I swear, I had nothing to do...
Kate Beckett : Swear a little harder, Castle.
-
Richard Castle : [tasting a piece of Czech candy] Hmm. Kind of tastes like soap. I like it.

[spotting Beckett at Castle's book launch party]
Paula Haas : That's her?
Richard Castle : That's her.
Paula Haas : Huh. That is one hell of a love letter you wrote her. Geez, one night in Ibiza and what do I get, a *chapter* in "Storm Fall"?
Richard Castle : A very *hot* chapter.
Paula Haas : And she gets a whole book? Well, she must be a pretty special girl. Let me ask you something, when she calls you, do you call her back?
Richard Castle : Yeah.
Paula Haas : Of course you do. Because she's important to you and because it's polite.
Richard Castle : Paula, I call you back.
Paula Haas : Three-book deal, and I can't even get you on the phone to let you know you've got an official offer?
Richard Castle : There's a...?
Paula Haas : Yeah.
Richard Castle : I don't... I...
Paula Haas : So, can I close the deal?
Richard Castle : Paula, I'm sorry. This is a... This is a big step... for me. I don't know that I'm ready to walk away from Nikki Heat.
Paula Haas : Who? The one on the page or the one standing over there in that Hervé Leger dress?
Richard Castle : The one... on... the page.
Paula Haas : Oh, Rick. You sleeping with her?
Richard Castle : No.
Paula Haas : Well, what the hell are you waiting for? Go get it out of your system, and then come down to the office and sign the damn contract, okay?
-
Kate Beckett : So, any word on a certain British secret agent who shall not be named?
Richard Castle : I got the official offer.
Kate Beckett : Wow! Congratulations.
Richard Castle : I haven't accepted it yet.
Kate Beckett : But you're going to, aren't you?
Richard Castle : Well, you think I should?
Kate Beckett : Yeah, I mean... is there a reason why you wouldn't?
Richard Castle : So you'd be okay if I didn't write another Nikki Heat?
Kate Beckett : [laughing it off] I mean, why wouldn't I? It's not like I asked you to write the first one.
Richard Castle : You know, a lot of people would be flattered that someone chose to write a book based on them.
Kate Beckett : Flattered?
Richard Castle : Yeah.
Kate Beckett : Do you have any idea how much grief I've had to put up with over this Nikki Heat thing?
Richard Castle : Gee, I'm sorry.
Kate Beckett : I'm not asking you to be sorry. I'm just... Just do whatever you wanna do. You always do, anyway.
Richard Castle : Well, fine. It's settled, then.
Kate Beckett : Fine.
Richard Castle : I'll do the other book.
Kate Beckett : Great.
Richard Castle : Enjoy the party.
Kate Beckett : Thanks. I will.
Richard Castle : You know what? Just as well, because there really wasn't enough to the character of Nikki Heat for more than one novel anyway.
Kate Beckett : Oh, there's *plenty* to the character. She just needs a better *writer*.
Richard Castle : Fine.
Kate Beckett : Fine.

[first lines]
[responding to his doorbell ringing early in the morning]
Richard Castle : Yes, yeah, I'm coming.
[opens door]
Paula Haas : [entering] You are not going to believe this.
Richard Castle : Paula...
Paula Haas : You are *so* not going to believe this.
Richard Castle : What are you doing here?
Paula Haas : I can't even believe it.
Richard Castle : Believe what?
Paula Haas : I can't tell you.
Richard Castle : I'm still asleep, aren't I? I'm dreaming. I'm having the dream where my book agent has shown up at my house at... *7:00 AM* to not tell me something.
