- [Castle enters, dressed in his outfit from 'Firefly', surprised to find Alexis up so late]
- Alexis Castle: Hey.
- Richard Castle: Hey.
- [pause]
- Richard Castle: I was... I was just... trying on my... Halloween costume.
- Alexis Castle: What exactly are you supposed to be?
- Richard Castle: Space cowboy.
- Alexis Castle: Okay. A, there are no cows in space. B, didn't you wear that, like, five years ago?
- Richard Castle: So?
- Alexis Castle: So, don't you think you should move on?
- Richard Castle: I like it.
- [Castle and Beckett arrive to find a dead guy with a stake in his heart in a cemetery]
- Richard Castle: Looks like Buffy's visiting the Big Apple.
- [at Castle's Halloween party]
- Kevin Ryan: [to Castle] You throw a great shindig for a 19th-century poet, Mr. Poe.
- [Castle admiring the artwork at a murder victim's apartment]
- Richard Castle: Reminds me of early Frank Miller.
- Kate Beckett: Which Frank? Epic Comic or Dark Horse years?
- Richard Castle: Oh, my God. That is the sexiest thing I ever heard you say.
- [last lines]
- [after being pranked by Beckett]
- Kate Beckett: Now we're even.
- Richard Castle: I'm giving you the bird.
- [hands Beckett his stuffed raven]
- Kevin Ryan: Vampire Mistress Vixen. Her coven is called the Den of Iniquity.
- Javier Esposito: Coven?
- Kevin Ryan: Yeah, a vampire coven is like joining a church or a club. "You like to play golf? I like to play golf." "You like to drink blood? I like to drink blood."
- [Beckett, Castle, and Esposito all stare at Ryan]
- Kevin Ryan: What? I... I used to go out with a girl who was into the lifestyle.
- Javier Esposito: What happened? Did the relationship suck?
- Kate Beckett: [at Dr. Frank's shop] I hope this is for real, Castle, because if it's not, we're shortchanging our John Doe.
- Richard Castle: Oh, trust me. I can't believe you've never heard of this place. I get all my costumes here.
- [gasps]
- Richard Castle: We can use this opportunity to find you one for my Halloween party. How about...
- [pulling a costume off the rack]
- Richard Castle: ...slutty nurse?
- Kate Beckett: Fantasize all you want, Castle. I am not trying on costumes for you.
- Kate Beckett: Castle, what are you doing?
- Richard Castle: [wearing plastic vampire teeth] Do these make me look immortal?
- [pause]
- Richard Castle: Do you wanna, uh, go get something pierced?
- Kate Beckett: No.
- [glances down at his crotch]
- Kate Beckett: Do you?
- Richard Castle: Uh. Wow.
- Richard Castle: I had no idea you were interested in comic books.
- Kate Beckett: Oh, Castle, the things you don't know about me could fill a book.
- [after Castle helps Alexis rescue her drunk friend from a senior party]
- Alexis Castle: Do we have to call her parents?
- Richard Castle: We do. Get me their number.
- Alexis Castle: She'll get in so much trouble.
- Richard Castle: Less than if you had left her there.
- [at Castle's Halloween party]
- Richard Castle: Careful. That is a potion of my own concoction. Drink it, and who knows who or what you may become. Also, you might wonder what happened to your pants.
- Lanie Parish: Ooh. Sounds like my kind of party.
- Kate Beckett: [to Ryan and Esposito] And see if you can find Crow's friend, Daemon.
- Javier Esposito: Does he have a last name?
- Kate Beckett: I'm not even sure that's his real first name.
- Javier Esposito: [a little baffled] Well, how are...
- Kate Beckett: What? You guys are detectives. Detect.
- [after Castle is bitten by a suspect who has porphyria]
- Richard Castle: Exactly how contagious is it?
- Lanie Parish: It's a genetic disease. Besides, I put enough antibiotics on that bite to kill a small animal. Now, if we're done here, I gotta head back to the slab and see a man about a corpse.
- Kate Beckett: Thank you, Dr. Parish. Castle was totally freaked out.
- Richard Castle: You wanna bite me, you buy me dinner.
