Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : So, what would Nikki Heat do after a bad day?

  Richard Castle : She'd go home, pour a stiff drink, run a hot bath, read a good book.

  Kate Beckett : [wrinkling her nose]  Too bad I don't have a good book to read.

  Richard Castle : Umm. I'd let you have "Heat Wave", but my publisher doesn't want any copies leaking out.

  Kate Beckett : Why'd you let that Cosmo reporter read it, then?

  Richard Castle : Well, that's for publicity purposes. You know, you want the press to have a little taste of... Wait, whoa, is... is that why you've been so upset? Because I let her read it before you?

  Kate Beckett : I am the inspiration. I should be reading it before a reporter does.

  Richard Castle : Why didn't you just say so?

  Kate Beckett : Why didn't you just give it to me?

  Richard Castle : Why didn't you ask?

  Kate Beckett : Why didn't it occur to you?

  Richard Castle : [after momentarily lost for words]  You'll have it by tomorrow.

• Javier Esposito : Hey, by the way, our buddy Will has a girlfriend we might want to talk to. There's, uh, some photos of her right here in the back.

  Kevin Ryan : Look at naked pictures? If you insist.

  Kate Beckett : Castle, check this out.

  Richard Castle : Look at naked pictures? If you insist.

• [talking about the young fashion model that wrote her phone number on Castle's hand] 

  Kate Beckett : [to Ryan and Esposito]  Rina used to baby-sit Alexis, fellas. So, as far as Big Rick here is concerned, she might as well be wearing a chastity belt.

  Richard Castle : Thank you for that visual image. That's... And also, thank you for calling me "Big Rick."

• Kate Beckett : She was at a club... That's Teddy Farrow's logo. He designs clothes for women. Upscale, expensive.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, my credit card and I are painfully aware of Teddy's designs. I almost asked for custody of them after my last divorce.

• [regarding the murder victim] 

  Kate Beckett : We gotta find out who she is and what she was doing here so late, though.

  Richard Castle : Well, she's tall, she's gorgeous... 10 pounds underweight. Her hair is fried, she's wearing too much eye makeup. She's a model.
