Quotes 

• Kevin Ryan : So, you had just gotten up, right?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah. Castle just finished making breakfast and he went to the door...

  Kevin Ryan : What kind of breakfast?

  Kate Beckett : Um, I'm sorry?

  Kevin Ryan : What kind of breakfast was he making?

  Kate Beckett : Pancakes.

  Kevin Ryan : Well, isn't that domestic.

  Kate Beckett : [annoyed]  Anyway, the paper usually arrives at four, and we were up at seven, so that means the killer had a three-hour window where he could have left the body there unnoticed.

  Kevin Ryan : And exactly what time did you and Mr. Castle go to bed last night?

  Kate Beckett : I think we're done here.

• Special Agent Jordan Shaw : So how long have you two been sleeping together?

  Kate Beckett : Um... We're-We're not sleeping together. We... He just observes me.

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Yeah, I've seen how he observes you.

  Richard Castle : No, she's right. Aside from my second wife, this is the most sexless relationship I've ever been in.

• [Castle is fiddling with a pair of night vision goggles in the back seat of the FBI's car] 

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : What is he doing?

  Kate Beckett : He, um, touches things.

• Richard Castle : Oh, no, I'm not leaving. I'm here to protect you.

  Kate Beckett : What, with your vast arsenal of rapier wit?

• [first lines] 

  Richard Castle : [on phone]  Yeah, Paula, that sounds perfect.

  [listens] 

  Richard Castle : Yeah, close the deal.

  [listens] 

  Richard Castle : Thank you, and to you.

  [hangs up, then to Beckett] 

  Richard Castle : Hey.

  Kate Beckett : Hey.

  Richard Castle : Ask me why I'm here.

  Kate Beckett : You know, I ask myself that question every day.

• Kevin Ryan : Unis pulled this from a trash bin. Wallet's inside. Vic's name is Michelle Lewis.

  Javier Esposito : According to her business card, she's a dog walker.

  Kate Beckett : There's a print here... and it's... too large to be our victim's. Let's get it to the lab for...

  [Shaw snaps a photo of the purse] 

  Kate Beckett : What are you doing?

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : That print is already in the lab and being processed. No muss, no fuss, no black powder on your clothes.

  Richard Castle : [in awed jealousy]  Wow, there's an app for that?

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : That's why I joined the FBI, Mr. Castle. For the toys. Really eager to see that body.

  Richard Castle : [as Shaw leaves]  Can I take a look at that?

  [Castle moves to follow her, but Beckett stops him] 

  Richard Castle : Be a chance to check it later.

• Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Nikki Heat, I presume.

  Kate Beckett : It's Beckett. Detective Kate Beckett.

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Yeah, I read all about you in "Cosmo". And you must be the celebrity writer tag-along, Richard Castle. Special Agent Jordan Shaw.

  Richard Castle : Jordan, Jordan Shaw? The same Jordan Shaw that broke the Hudson Valley Strangler case back in 1991?

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : I also play a mean game of Scrabble. Now that we all know each other, I'd like to see the body.

  Kate Beckett : Agent Shaw, my people have already secured the area. CSU is on the scene, and we are canvassing the park, so as happy as I am to see the cavalry, there's really not much left here for you to do.

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Detective, the gods in the marble halls have sent me here to catch a killer, which I will do with or without your help. Okay? Now, can I see the body?

  Richard Castle : That is so going in the movie. Can you say that again, but start from "marble halls"?

• [last lines] 

  [Castle exits can and is rushing to Beckett's apartment] 

  Richard Castle : [frantically trying to call Beckett]  Come on, Beckett, pick it. Pick up the phone! Pick it up!

  Kate Beckett : [answering phone]  What, Castle?

  Richard Castle : It wasn't Ben Conrad! He's not the killer! The killer's still alive!

  [cut to Beckett's apartment with her on the phone with Castle] 

  Richard Castle : [from Beckett's phone]  The killer's still alive!

  Man on recording : [a couple of beeps then a recording plays]  Goodbye, Nikki. Goodbye, Nikki.

  [Beckett's apartment blows up] 

• Donald Salt : So I was on one of those internet barter sites when I was looking... Eh... Doesn't matter what I was looking for, but I came across the ad. "Finger wanted. Will pay top dollar."

  Kate Beckett : So what's the top dollar for pinky finger?

  Donald Salt : Five thousand bucks

  Special Agent Jordan Shaw : Sounds like a real deal.
