- Richard Castle: [to Beckett quitely] I'm telling you, ice bullet.
- Javier Esposito: Nah, bro. An ice bullet would still make a bullet hole.
- Kevin Ryan: You mean, ice hole.
- Richard Castle: What'd you just call me?
- [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?
- Jeremy Preswick: An ex-wife that I can't remember.
- Richard Castle: Hey, some men would consider you lucky.
- 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.
- Richard Castle: Hey, what's up with Ryan?
- Javier Esposito: Mugging case. The guy got hit in the head and can't remember who he is.
- Richard Castle: Ohh... missing bullets are cool, amnesia's even cooler.
- Alexis Castle: My science teacher says that chocolate contains chemicals that are proven to relieve depression.
- Martha Rodgers: Well, it's good, but... I prefer grape, aged, bottled and corked.
- [after accidentally bumping into Beckett and spilling coffee on her]
- Richard Castle: I brought you coffee.
- [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.
- [Alexis opens the door to leave and is surprised to find Martha in the hallway, starting to pull her keys out]
- Alexis Castle: Gram! I thought you were sleeping in.
- Martha Rodgers: I was, just... not in my room.
- Martha Rodgers: You know what? We all share way too much.
- [last lines]
- [Martha is conflicted on whether to give Chet a second chance]
- Richard Castle: That's the cost of living.
- Martha Rodgers: I just don't want to ruin this.
- [takes the pressed boutonniere flower from Martha and places it on the table]
- Richard Castle: This is dead... You are not... Time to start making some new memories.
- Martha Rodgers: Boy, how did you get so smart?
- Richard Castle: It must be my dad.
- Martha Rodgers: Look at you... Dad.
