Castle: Look, I get it, all right? You made a promise to a daughter to find her mother's killer. It doesn't take Freud to see what's what. But you're gonna run up some blind alleys before you get out of the maze.
Beckett: Look, as much as I appreciate your folksy Dr. Phil aphorisms, I just wanna- (Beckett shoots with anger)
Castle: Wouldn't it be more of a challenge If they weren't standing still?
Beckett: Okay, Castle. ... You show me how it's done. ... All yours. ... (Castle showing off) It's not a duel, Scaramouche. Here. Square off to the target. Feet shoulder-distance apart. Okay. Gauntlet your right fist in your left palm.
Castle: (Castle hits the wall) Shot too soon.
Becket: Yeah, well... You know, we could always just cuddle, Castle.
Castle: (With strange accent) Oh, funny. ... And a smile. Good.

Castle: Good enough to be our perp?
Ryan: Why do you writers always call them perps?
Castle: Isn't that what you call them?
Ryan: Aah, we got a lot of names for 'em.
Esposito: Yeah.
Ryan: Pipehead. Piss-head. Orc. Creep.
(Castle takes out a notepad and starts jotting down.)
Esposito: Crook. Knuckle-head. Chuckle-head.
Ryan: Chud. Turd.
Esposito: Destro. Scum.
Ryan: Skexy. Slicko. Slick.
Esposito: Mope.
Ryan: Sleazestack.
Castle: Slow down, slow down.
Beckett: Suspects. We call them suspects.
Roy: I'm old school. I like 'dirtbag'.
Castle: Classic.

(discussing the case)
Castle: Makes me think about Alexis. What would she do if something happened to me?
Beckett: She still has her mom, right?
Castle: Meredith is more like a crazy aunt with a credit card. Of the two of us, I'm the more responsible one. Pretty sad, isn't it?
Beckett: Wee, I wouldn't worry too much, Castle. After all, only the good die young.
Castle: Ouch!

Castle: It can't be random. How do they know whats in the safes? Safes...is that a word? Is it "saves?" That can't be right.
Esposito: And you write for a living?

Beckett: Tell your friend to keep up his disappearing act, and the next time you show up at a crime scene without me, I'll show you how my taser works.
Castle: Promise?

(Castle accidentally discharges a round from his gun)
Castle: Whoa! Shot too soon.
Beckett: Yeah, well. We can always just cuddle, Castle.

(Castle and Beckett walk by on the red carpet)
Ryan: Nice dress.
Esposito: Yeah, what there is of it.
Beckett: I'd let you borrow it Esposito, but you stretched out the last one.

Castle: In a building like this, this part of town? You'd think she'd be safe. No pun intended. How often are people killed in neighborhoods like this?
Beckett: Same as anywhere else, Castle. Just the once.
