Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : Hell are you doing? That's my suspect.

  Mike Royce : Okay, relax, we're on the same team.

  Kate Beckett : Royce?

  Mike Royce : Hey, kid. Long time.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, too long.

  Richard Castle : Nice driving.

  Mike Royce : Well, thanks. Mike Royce, bounty hunter. Boom.

  Richard Castle : Richard Castle, writer.

  Kate Beckett : Royce used to be on the job.

  Mike Royce : On the job? She says that like I'm any cop. I was her training officer when she left the academy.

  Random Pierce : [handcuffed on the ground]  Hey, hey, hey. Hey, i-if I'm imposing on your happy reunion, you know, I can just go.

  Kate Beckett : The only place you're going is jail.

• [regaling Castle and Esposito with old stories of Beckett] 

  Mike Royce : Oh, no, she's got the cat in one hand, her gun in the other. I'm trying to get the hell out of the way so she can shoot the guy with the speargun...

  Kate Beckett : [approaching]  Except Royce has such a giant head that every time I go to pull the trigger, all I could think about is how much paperwork I'll have to do if I accidentally shoot him.

  Mike Royce : Yeah, okay. So you know what she does? She offers to show the guy her boobs if he drops the speargun.

  Javier Esposito : Did he?

  Richard Castle : Did you?

  Kate Beckett : No, 'cause he had the same slack-jawed look that the two of you have.

• Kevin Ryan : So, it looks like your shoplifter isn't our killer, after all. Guard at Book Mart confirms that he caught him trying to steal a copy of "The Da Vinci Code".

  Richard Castle : "The Da Vinci Code". Maybe he thought it could help him decipher the document, thinking it's some kind of, uh, ancient, religious cryptogram, prophesizing the coming zombie apocalypse.

  Mike Royce : Is he always like this?

  Kate Beckett : No, it's usually about CIA conspiracies.

  Richard Castle : I was really close on one of those.

• Mike Royce : So it's actually a treasure map, huh?

  Kate Beckett : Castle's been trying to figure it out all day. I should have been onto Stuckey earlier, though.

  Mike Royce : Nobody's perfect.

  Kate Beckett : You were.

  Mike Royce : You were easy to impress.

  Kate Beckett : No, I wasn't. I was drowning, and... you were dry land. All they ever taught us in the Academy was how to do paperwork. You were the one who taught me how to be a cop.

• Kate Beckett : I caught him, Royce... The man who killed my mom.

  Mike Royce : After all these years... Find out why he did it?

  Kate Beckett : Somebody paid him to do it. But I had to shoot him before I could find out who.

  Mike Royce : That was stupid... You should have just shown him your boobs.

• Kate Beckett : Castle, are you coming?

  Richard Castle : Oh! Actually, I was gonna hang back with Royce, hear some stories about the good old days.

  Kate Beckett : Okay... fine.

  [to Royce] 

  Kate Beckett : But if you tell him about the karaoke stakeout, I'm gonna tell him what happened with the monkey.

  Mike Royce : My lips are sealed.
