- [looking at a blackmail photo of her daughter with Bobby Mann]
- Janine Marks: He was banging my daughter right under my nose? I will kill him!
- Richard Castle: He's already dead.
- Janine Marks: Well, I will kill him again! I don't care! Where's the corpse?
- Richard Castle: Good morning, Detective.
- Kate Beckett: Really?
- Richard Castle: What?
- Kate Beckett: Lose the "I just got laid" voice, all right?
- Richard Castle: [feigning ignorance] What are you talking about?
- Kate Beckett: I am a trained detective, so don't bother denying it.
- Richard Castle: Okay, fine.
- Kate Beckett: Oh, so now you're not denying it.
- Richard Castle: You... just told me not to.
- Kate Beckett: And for the record, she's *nothing* like Nikki Heat.
- Richard Castle: Oh, you just can't stand it that a beautiful actress is actually interested in me.
- Kate Beckett: Why would I care?
- Richard Castle: Exactly. That's a good question. Why would you care?
- Kate Beckett: I don't.
- Richard Castle: Fine. I'm gonna go get some coffee.
- Kate Beckett: Fine. I've got work to do.
- [they walk off in different directions then stop and turn around]
- Richard Castle: Break room's that way.
- Kate Beckett: Desk.
- Kate Beckett: So, you wanna go for a victory lap and grab a burger?
- Richard Castle: Whoa! Can't. Gotta go. Big date.
- Kate Beckett: You're kidding, right? You're going out with Ellie Monroe even though you know the only reason that she was interested in you was for a part? Have you lost all sense of human decency and self-resp...
- [Castle smirks, and she trails off]
- Kate Beckett: What?
- Richard Castle: My big date... is with Alexis. She's getting back from her trip.
- Kate Beckett: Oh.
- Kate Beckett: So, how was your date with your little starlet?
- Richard Castle: [frustrated] How could you tell this time?
- Kate Beckett: Like I said, Castle...
- [pulls a strand of hair off his blazer]
- Kate Beckett: ... trained detective.
- Kate Beckett: You know, it's late and I'm kind of tired. How about we pick this up in the morning?
- Richard Castle: All righty, then. And the boys'll be *back* on duty tomorrow, to coin a phrase...
- [realization dawns on him]
- Richard Castle: ... which would be inaccurate... because you are not a boy.
- Kate Beckett: Is this some kind of a weird come-on?
- Kevin Ryan: Well, once we suspected blackmail, I ran through his financials again.
- Kate Beckett: I thought they were clean.
- Kevin Ryan: Well, they were. But going back, we found this.
- [hands Beckett a folder]
- Kate Beckett: He spent a hundred grand on a kitchen reno.
- Kevin Ryan: Totally legitimate. But we searched his brownstone.
- Richard Castle: And he wasn't renovating his kitchen.
- Kate Beckett: So who was on the receiving end of the hundred grand?
- Kevin Ryan: Zack Robinson.
- Richard Castle: Ooh, good bad-guy name. Snaky "Z," hard "K." Even has "rob" in it.
- [first lines]
- Bobby Mann: And did you hear? Our favorite golfer is in the news again. Missed a charity tournament over the weekend. Really unfortunate. The world's top golfer had to pull out. In fact, it's the first time he's pulled out of anything in five years.
- [as Alexis is putting books into her backpack]
- Richard Castle: Um... You're going orienteering, not library-ing. You sure you want to take that many books?
- Alexis Castle: Over-ambitious for a five-day trip?
- Richard Castle: You're going to be responsible for your own pack. I think you're supposed to be more Sacagawea than a scholarly reader. Besides, look at all those pages. The trees might want revenge.
- Lanie Parish: You know how many strings I had to pull for this, Castle?
- Alexis Castle: If I'm wrong, I'll reimburse the city.
- Lanie Parish: To hell with the city. It's me you're gonna owe. I take spa certificates, jewelry, and cash.
- Kate Beckett: What are you doing?
- Richard Castle: It's called investigating. You should try it.
- Kate Beckett: I usually wait until there's a crime.
- [last lines]
- Richard Castle: My Sacagawea has returned! Oh, my God, my best girl! I missed you so much! Oh, my God, I'm so glad you're home.
- Alexis Castle: I missed you, too, Dad.
- Richard Castle: You're not just saying that, are you?
- Alexis Castle: What...
- Richard Castle: I don't care... Tell me you're hungry.
- Alexis Castle: I'm starving!
- Richard Castle: Come with me. Tell me *everything*.
