[Castle and Beckett arrive at the crime scene]
Javier Esposito : So get ready for a murder with a little holiday spirit. It went down around 10:30 pm. Witnesses saw a black Mustang, no plates, chasing after this guy.
Kate Beckett : This was a drive-by? But he looks like he was shot close range.
Javier Esposito : Yeah, and the shooter capped him in the head to finish him off.
Kate Beckett : So this wasn't random. Did anyone get a good look at the assailant?
Javier Esposito : Yeah, when he drove by like a bat out of hell. Fuzzy red hat, big white beard.
Kate Beckett : Seriously? Our killer is Santa Claus?
Javier Esposito : Three witnesses, all told the same story.
Richard Castle : Guys, squeezing down countless chimneys? Delivering millions of presents in one night? It's bound to happen... Santa finally cracked.
Javier Esposito : Or... our victim was naughty instead of nice.
[he and Castle share a laugh]
Richard Castle : That's... tasteless.
Kate Beckett : Or our killer just wore a Santa suit because that was the perfect disguise at this time of year.

[after dinner with Lanie's parents, pretending to be engaged]
Javier Esposito : But... you know, it made me think seriously about us. And where we are.
Lanie Parish : Javi, I-I don't think we should do this here.
Javier Esposito : No, I have to say this. Lanie... being faked engaged to you... made me realize how great we are together. But not the way that your parents are. Or Castle and Beckett, or Ryan and Jenny.
Lanie Parish : I know. I-I feel it, too. I mean, I'm crazy about you.
Javier Esposito : Oh, I'm crazy about you, too, but just, you know, not... not in that way. And you deserve what they have.
Lanie Parish : We both do.

Javier Esposito : So the first time I meet your parents, you're asking me to lie to them?
Lanie Parish : I'll be lying to them too, but I've been doing it longer.
