Stana Katic: Kate Beckett

Quotes 

• [reporting about the 5th bullet found embedded in the amnesiac's paperback book] 

  Kevin Ryan : Ballistics confirms that the bullets came from the same gun as the others. Whatever happened in the gallery, he was there.

  Kate Beckett : Not only was he *there*, but someone tried to kill him, as well... Good thing he reads.

  Kevin Ryan : Good thing he reads Russian literature. If the guy was a Nicholas Sparks fan, he'd be dead.

• [after talking to the victim's widow who called his old assistant a flea] 

  Richard Castle : You suppose the flea had a gun? A tiny gun with vanishing bullets?

  Kate Beckett : Ice bullets and fleas with guns. Do you have writer's block again?

  Richard Castle : Stephen King wrote stories of bloodthirsty cars and sold millions of copies. I figure, why be limited by logic?

• Richard Castle : Yeah. Hey, you think I should get a dog?

  Kate Beckett : What am I, your wife?

  Richard Castle : Yeah, you're my work wife.

  Kate Beckett : No, I'm not your work wife.

  Richard Castle : I could get a bloodhound. I could name him Sherlock, and then I could, I could bring him to crime scenes.

  Kate Beckett : No, you couldn't.

  Richard Castle : Oh, what? It'd be *adorable*. I could get him to wear a little Sherlock hat, train him how to carry a little magnifying glass.

  [seeing Beckett's skeptical look] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, see? Right there. Disapproving, judgmental. You're totally my work wife.

• [first lines] 

  [Beckett arriving at a crime scene to find Castle with a dog] 

  Kate Beckett : On one knee?

  Richard Castle : That's a good girl.

  Kate Beckett : What's up, Castle? You proposing?

  Richard Castle : Oh, no. Just waiting for you.

  Kate Beckett : That's too bad. You two make a cute couple.
