Nathan Fillion: Richard Castle

Quotes 

• Richard Castle : [after Beckett is rescued]  See what happens when I leave you alone?

  Kate Beckett : Babe, I wasn't alone. When they were interrogating me, the only thing that kept me going was thinking about you. About our future, the wedding. You were with me the whole time.

• [first lines] 

  Kate Beckett : This... is... heaven. This is absolute heaven.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, you mean spending the day with your future husband?

  Kate Beckett : No, no, not that.

  Richard Castle : Not that?

  Kate Beckett : No, no, no, I mean, not only that. It's 2:00. I'm in my PJs. We're reading the newspapers. I never get to do this.

  Richard Castle : Because you never take any time off.

  Kate Beckett : All we have to do is loaf around. There's no work. No goals other than to waste hours on end.

  Richard Castle : Okay, stop describing *my* life.

• Richard Castle : So, there *is* one thing we should get done today. We need to pick a font for our "Save the Date" cards.

  Kate Beckett : Really? We're gonna do that? We don't even have a venue yet.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, I find deadlines... inspiring. How about this one?

  Kate Beckett : No, it's too frilly.

  Richard Castle : Agreed. And this... Ooh, this is far too severe.

  [in exaggerated German] 

  Richard Castle : You vill zave ze date, now.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, I like that one. You?

  Richard Castle : Mmm, I'm not really feeling it. Though I guess, uh... you could convince me.

  Kate Beckett : I bet I could.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, I mean, you'd have to work pretty *hard* to win me over. But, um...

  Kate Beckett : Well, I'm prepared to do just that. Because it's clear to me that what we both need right now is a really good font.

  Richard Castle : Yes, we do. That's so true.

  [Beckett grabs his hand and pulls him towards the bedroom; as they reach the door, her phone rings] 

  Richard Castle : Oh! And worst timing ever.

• [playing a video game when his phone rings] 

  Richard Castle : [answers phone]  Castle.

  Kate Beckett : Wow, you sound like you are getting a lot of writing done.

  Richard Castle : I blame you for that. When are you coming back?

  Kate Beckett : Uh, I don't know, a couple hours. I have a meeting. And don't ask me what it is.

  Richard Castle : Well, now I have to ask.

• [learning Beckett is impersonating a contract killer] 

  Richard Castle : I hate this... She's out there somewhere, has no idea how much danger she's in, and I can't help her.

  Javier Esposito : No. You can't... But this is Beckett we're talking about. She might be your fiancée, but she's also a damn good cop, so don't sell her short... She'll figure out a way to let us know what's going on. And when she does, we'll get her out.

  Richard Castle : What if it's not in time?

• [Beckett has been called into work on her day off] 

  Richard Castle : So, what's Gates up to? Aside from sabotaging our domestic bliss?

• Kevin Ryan : Just got off with hospital security again. Building's locked down, we got teams going through, but there's no sign of Elena.

  Richard Castle : And we still have no idea who this woman really is.

  Captain Fowler : [entering]  I'm afraid we do. Security video shows her leaving her room alone. And the officer's throat was cut in same exact manner as the murdered drug dealers. Same angle, same left-handed stroke, favoring the carotid.

  Captain Victoria Gates : That's what those text messages meant, about packages being delivered. She wasn't a courier for the ring.

  Javier Esposito : She was their contract killer.

  Richard Castle : A *contract* killer. That's who Beckett is out there impersonating and you didn't know?

  Captain Victoria Gates : Mr. Castle...

  Richard Castle : And now, this woman is out there somewhere. Do you have any idea what's gonna happen to Beckett when the real Elena shows up?

  Captain Fowler : We're doing everything we can.

  Richard Castle : Well, it's not enough!

• Kate Beckett : Hiding behind Vulcan Simmons, funding his campaign with dirty money, killing whoever gets in his way, just like he did with my mom. It's him. And we have no way of proving it.

  Richard Castle : Maybe the feds will find something.

  Kate Beckett : No, Bracken's so well-insulated. It's genius, actually. He has all the campaign funds that he needs without having to compromise or be beholden to any special interest groups.

  Richard Castle : But if it really was him, why wouldn't he just let you die in the woods? Why would he send Elena to save you?

  Kate Beckett : Because when I stopped the assassination last year, I saved him. And he told me that he owed me. And now we're even. So the next time that we see each other...

  Richard Castle : [standing to leave, he kisses the top of her head]  Come to bed.

• Martha Rodgers : Well, I know you have plans with Katherine this evening, so I am going to make myself scarce.

  [sees the dinner table] 

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, very nice. I'm off to a revival of "Brighton Beach Memoirs". Ha. Pray for me.

  [seeing the concern in his face] 

  Martha Rodgers : What's the matter?

  Richard Castle : I-I- I can't get a hold of Beckett. I texted her, I left messages. This isn't like her.

  Martha Rodgers : Maybe she got tied up at the precinct. Have you tried Ryan or Esposito?

  Richard Castle : I called 'em both. Just goes straight to voicemail. Just... Something is not right.

• Richard Castle : [entering precinct]  Hey. You guys have not been returning my calls. Where's Beckett?

  Captain Victoria Gates : Mr. Castle, why don't you come into my office?

• Richard Castle : Well, at least it's not a total loss. Now that the police know that Vulcan Simmons is Lazarus, they'll be watching him. He will not be able to rebuild his operation.

  Kate Beckett : He's not Lazarus. If he was, then I would be dead. Vulcan Simmons is just a figurehead. Someone else is behind this, someone higher up, someone who wanted me alive.

  Richard Castle : Who?

  Kate Beckett : It's someone bigger.
