- Jeff Dilahunt: Are you two together?
- Richard Castle: [answers at same time as Beckett] Not yet.
- Kate Beckett: [answers at same time as Castle] Absolutely not.
- Richard Castle: Let me borrow your magnifying glass.
- Kate Beckett: I don't have a magnifying glass.
- Richard Castle: Isn't that standard issue for detectives?
- Kate Beckett: No. Not since Sherlock Holmes.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: [Esposito and Ryan bring in the corrupt prison guard] If there's anything I hate, it's a dirtbag in uniform.
- [Castle speaking about a murder suspect]
- Richard Castle: This guy's got contingency plans for his contingency plans. Feels like we're battling a super-villain.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: Do we know what was in the package?
- Kate Beckett: The, uh, courier company's looking into it right now. Whatever it was, somebody thought that it was worth killing for.
- Richard Castle: ff the top of my head, I'm gonna go with nuclear launch codes, Dick Cheney's soul on its way to the devil...
- 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*?
- Richard Castle: [chuckles] Don't you have anything from this century?
- 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?
- M.E. Sidney Perlmutter: You know the strength of the disinfectants we use here? This is the cleanest room in the city.
- [Perlmutter offers half his sandwich]
- Richard Castle: I couldn't.
- M.E. Sidney Perlmutter: Homemade.
- Richard Castle: I *couldn't*.
- Sara: You want to exhume my niece's body?
- Kate Beckett: We believe that there was evidence overlooked during the autopsy that could lead to her killer.
- Sara: Well, you told me you caught the man. You told me it was over.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: I thought it was. But whoever killed Olivia just murdered two more people. Your niece deserves justice, and so do they.
- [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?
- Martha Rodgers: Have you looked in the mirror lately? I have two words for you, "hairline" and "receding."
- [Castle grabs the toaster and looks at his reflection]
- Martha Rodgers: Ha! Made you look.
- Kate Beckett: Um, sir, are you okay? You seem a little distracted.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: No, I'm focused. Focused on the precinct being up for review... and our case closure rate being just under 1PP's new mandated minimum. Which, of course, doesn't take the budget cuts into consideration. Now how the hell am I supposed to catch more bad guys with fewer detectives?
- [first lines]
- Martha Rodgers: Well, that was easy. All right! What do we do next?
- Alexis Castle: Set up your profile. Name? Martha Rodgers. Sex? Female. Race?
- Martha Rodgers: Color-blind. Why should I categorize myself? Shades of gray, darling.
- Alexis Castle: Age?
- Martha Rodgers: Ageless. No, better yet, timeless.
- Richard Castle: Pierson Club? That's high society, that's creme de la creme. My money goes in banks, their money buys banks.
- Kevin Ryan: Prison duty roster. How'd you pull it off, sir?
- Captain Roy Montgomery: They didn't make me captain just because I look good behind a desk.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: Thank you for your offer, however, my detectives will conduct their investigation in any manner they see fit.
- Blake Wellesley: Captain, I can get the commissioner on the phone in under a minute.
- Captain Roy Montgomery: Well, tell him I said hi and I really could use a raise.
- 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.
