Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : You're trying to drive me crazy, aren't you?

  Richard Castle : Well, apparently, I already do, if we end up with three kids.

  Simon Doyle : [approaching]  Would you like to know their names?

  Richard Castle : [simultaneously with Beckett]  Yes!

  Kate Beckett : [simultaneously with Castle]  No!

• Kevin Ryan : So, according to Shauna's supervisor, all of her parolees were non-violent offenders, and none of them look like this sketch that we took off the neighbor, or matched prints that CSU got from the crime scene.

  Kate Beckett : So it's quite possible this had nothing to do with her job.

  Richard Castle : Then why torture her? What could the killer want?

  Kevin Ryan : What, Castle, no crazy theories?

  Kate Beckett : Oh, he's got bigger issues. His daughter's moving in. With a boy.

  Kevin Ryan : And you're letting her?

  Richard Castle : Well, apparently, the only way to stop her is locking her *up*. But according to Miss By-The-Book here, that's unlawful imprisonment.

• [Beckett and Castle arrive at the crime scene] 

  Kate Beckett : What happened?

  Lanie Parish : Lot of weirdos out there with too much imagination is what happened. And yes, I'm looking at you, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, except I only commit my murders on paper. Don't actually do them. A lot more lucrative, a lot less prison.

• [Castle, Beckett, Ryan, and Esposito catch Simon searching the victim's apartment] 

  Simon Doyle : No, no, no! Let me go! You don't know what you're doing!

  Kate Beckett : We know exactly what we're doing.

  Simon Doyle : Please, listen to me, don't do this. Please. You *have* to let me go. If you don't, a billion people will die!

  Javier Esposito : Yeah? How are they gonna die?

  Simon Doyle : I don't know. I only know that they do.

  Javier Esposito : Yeah? And how's that?

  Simon Doyle : Because... I'm from the future.

  [Beckett, Ryan, and Esposito all exchange skeptical looks] 

  Richard Castle : [whispering to Beckett]  This just became my favorite case.

• Richard Castle : So... future, huh?

  Simon Doyle : That's right.

  Kate Beckett : Okay, so why don't we just start with something simple, like your name.

  Simon Doyle : Why does everyone want to know my name? And who cares? It doesn't matter.

  Kate Beckett : Humor me.

  Simon Doyle : Fine. You can call me... Simon. Simon Doyle.

  Richard Castle : And what year are you from, exactly?

  Simon Doyle : 2035.

  Kate Beckett : Castle!

  Richard Castle : Don't tell me you weren't wondering.

• [Esposito comes up to Castle, Beckett, and Ryan] 

  Javier Esposito : Hey, caught a break on that stalker. Couple night ago, Shauna filed a harassment complaint. Apparently, three days ago a guy confronted Shauna on her way home from work. Said the lives of half the people on the planet were at stake.

  Richard Castle : [to Ryan]  Whatever crazy theory I could've come up with, this is better.

• Richard Castle : I have tried to be generous and understanding. I have tried to be tolerant. But, Alexis, it's been over a month, and Pi is still here.

  Alexis Castle : I know, Dad. And he feels bad about it. We both do.

  Richard Castle : I don't care if he feels bad. I want my couch back. I want my house back. You go back to college next week. What then? Sweetheart... he has to go.

  Alexis Castle : You're absolutely right. He's been here way too long. It's not right, and it's not fair to you.

  Richard Castle : [sighs]  Thank you.

  Alexis Castle : You're welcome. And the best news is I think we found a place.

  Richard Castle : Honey, that is so great.

  [realizes what he heard] 

  Richard Castle : Did you say "we found a place"?

  Alexis Castle : Yeah. Pi and I talked it over. He can't afford a place on his own, so we found one together.

  Richard Castle : Together?

  Alexis Castle : Yeah. That way the rent's totally affordable. I can cover my half with a work-study job, and it's right next to school. Plus it'll save you having to pay for university housing this year.

  Richard Castle : You don't... honestly think I'm gonna let you do this, do you?

  Alexis Castle : Let me? Dad, I'm nineteen.

  Richard Castle : Exactly my point. Far too young to be moving in with someone.

  Alexis Castle : Really? Because I was old enough to sign the lease. And weren't you living with your girlfriend when you were nineteen?

  Richard Castle : Yes, but that was different.

  Alexis Castle : How?

  [Castle at a loss for words] 

  Alexis Castle : Trust me, Dad. We've thought this through. Makes total sense.

  [cut to Castle and Beckett arriving at the crime scene] 

  Richard Castle : In what universe does that make sense? I'll tell you what universe. The one where she's blinded by emotion and not thinking straight. It's like watching a car accident in slow motion.

  Kate Beckett : You know, Castle, my dad wanted to kill the first guy that I moved in with. He did everything he could to try and talk me out of it. And all that did was make me wanna do it even more.

  Richard Castle : I just wish her future self would come back and talk to her present self. Let her know what a mistake she's making. Save her from a...

  [sees the victim] 

  Richard Castle : ... a world of hurt.

• [last lines] 

  [entering the loft, he sees Pi's stuff is gone] 

  Richard Castle : You're really doing this.

  Alexis Castle : I am. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I'm making a huge mistake.

  Richard Castle : What if you are?... This isn't something you can just go back and undo. Why don't you wait a year, okay? Move into the dorms. I'm sure Pi can take care of himself. And if after a year, you still wanna move in together, I- I won't say a word.

  Alexis Castle : Yes, you will... I don't know how this is gonna turn out, Dad. None of us do. But it's my life. My future... I have to find out for myself... Who are you always saying is the smart one in the family?

  Richard Castle : You.

  Alexis Castle : Dad, I know what I'm doing... It'll be okay.

  Richard Castle : [quietly, after Alexis leaves]  Too soon.

• Richard Castle : [on phone]  No, Alexis, I do trust you. I'm just saying deciding to share an apartment with someone you met on a banana plantation a month ago just doesn't strike me as the *smartest* decision you've ever made.

  [pause] 

  Richard Castle : Alexis?

  [pause] 

  Richard Castle : Alex-

  [dial tone, to Beckett] 

  Richard Castle : She hung up on me.

  Kate Beckett : Hmm?

  Richard Castle : [sighs]  Maybe I shouldn't have said that stuff about the bananas.

• Kate Beckett : Castle?

  Richard Castle : Yeah.

  Kate Beckett : For the sake of *our* future, please tell me you don't believe that guy.

  Richard Castle : Oh, no. But you got to admit, it's a great story.

  Kevin Ryan : [approaching with Esposito]  Really? Uh... thought it was kind of derivative.

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, like a mash-up of "Twelve Monkeys" and "Terminator".

  Kevin Ryan : Hmm.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, but it's the way he told it. Total commitment.

  Kate Beckett : Commitment that turned deadly. I mean, to maintain his delusion, Shauna had to die. He might not even know that he killed her.

  Richard Castle : Hey, did you guys find out what this device was Doyle had on him?

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, Techs says it's just a bunch of junk thrown together.

  Javier Esposito : What were you expecting, Castle? Time travel device? Doctor Who's sonic screwdriver?

  Richard Castle : You watch "Doctor Who"?

  Kate Beckett : [her phone chirps]  Oh, that's Lanie.

  [to Ryan and Esposito] 

  Kate Beckett : Okay, we'll hit the morgue. Why don't you guys time travel over to your desks and let the D.A. know that we got our killer.

• Richard Castle : I'm just saying, what if he was telling the truth, and he really was recalled back to the future?

  Kate Beckett : He wasn't recalled back to the future. And do you know how I know that? Because he's not a time traveler.

  Richard Castle : Okay. So where is he?

  Kate Beckett : Simple explanation? There was a mix-up with the paperwork when his charges were dropped, and some desk monkey accidentally let him go and now they are all trying to cover their asses.

  Richard Castle : That's reasonable. It's... unlikely, but it's reasonable.
