Beckett: Exactly how much longer do I have to expect you to be shadowing me on my cases like this?
Castle: Hard to say, when I'm writing a new character there's no saying when inspiration might strike.
Beckett: I thought I was your inspiration.
Castle: Oh you are Detective, in so many ways
Beckett: Yeah well your inspiration might strike you sooner than you might think.
-
Castle: Thought you ditched me back at the precinct, didn't you? Come on, Nanny McDead is found in the spin dry and you don't think the Captain's going to let me in on that story?
-
Police Representative: Mr. Castle, be advised: if you get injured following Detective Beckett to research your next novel, you cannot sue the city. If you get shot, you cannot sue the city. If you get killed...
Castle: My lifeless remains cannot sue the city?

(Mr. Peterson has been accused of having an affair with the victim)
Mr. Peterson: I am having an affair, just not with Sarah. But it's not what you think.
Castle: (sarcastically) When is it ever?
-
Castle: (surprised after Beckett tells a suspect not to leave town) Don't leave town? Don't you need probable cause for something like that?
Beckett: Yeah, well, he doesn't know that, does he?
Castle: You can lie like that? That is so cool! (scribbles in his notepad)
-
Castle: So. Looks like I managed to make it through the case without getting injured, shot or killed.
Kate: Yeah, well, maybe tomorrow.
-
Kate: Okay, Castle, but it's accompany and observe, not participate and annoy. Got it?
Castle: Participate and annoy is a lot more fun, but alright.
-
Castle: We could always make it strip poker.
Kate: Sorry, but I prefer mystery to horror.
-
Castle: (to Kate about marriage) You'd be good at it. You're both controlling and disapproving. You should really try it.
-
Alexis: How come we never had a nanny?
Castle: Well, your mother and I decided if someone was going to screw you up, we wanted it to be me. Only, you managed to turn out fine somehow anyway.
-
Castle: Three men huddled around a computer. There'd better not be porn, and if there is, I want in.
-
Esposito: I'm sorry. If someone started rooting around my underwear without an invitation, I'm taking that as a serious breach of hygiene.
Kate: I thought you went commando, Esposito.
-
Ryan: So, she opens up the drier, takes the other person's clothes out, finds Miss Fluff and Fold here instead.
Esposito: If that's not a cautionary tale about poking around with someone else's laundry, I don't know what is.
