Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : Oh, yeah, and your ex-wife called. She said that you've been avoiding her because you're *late* delivering your manuscript of... "Naked Heat".

  [pause] 

  Kate Beckett : That's a catchy title. When were you gonna tell me?

  Richard Castle : Well, I was waiting for the perfect time. It just never... happened.

  Kate Beckett : She's naked on the cover again, isn't she?

  Richard Castle : Kind of, yeah.

  Kate Beckett : That's great. No one's gonna make fun of me.

• Martha Rodgers : Oh! I almost forgot to tell you. James Patterson called. He's gonna be a little late for the poker game tomorrow.

  Richard Castle : Probably wants to use the time to write another book.

• Richard Castle : It's kind of like a tradition, you know? Bonfires, roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories, sleeping late. We've done it since she was five.

  Kate Beckett : Sounds nice. Kind of magical, actually.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, you know what? You should come. Oh, it's right on the ocean. There's a secluded pool. You could lay out, work on your tan.

  Kate Beckett : Wow, Castle, you are working really hard to see me in a swimsuit.

  Richard Castle : If you are not comfortable in a swimsuit, you could just skinny dip.

• Kate Beckett : Then why would they try to kill someone who doesn't exist?

  Richard Castle : I think I know. Come on.

  [cut to the precinct] 

  Kevin Ryan : Hey. So, I just got back from ballistics. That gun that we found in the victim's car...

  Richard Castle : [while rushing by Ryan]  Let me guess, it's not real.

  [cut to holding cell] 

  Richard Castle : [to Hans]  It's a game.

  Hans Brauer : What are you talking about?

  Richard Castle : This whole thing. The fake IDs, the dossier, Luvania, the banking minister. It's *all*... part of a game.

  Hans Brauer : [quietly]  Come on. You're breaking the fourth wall here.

  Hans Brauer : Listen, Hans, or whatever your name is, you see that woman?

  [points to Beckett] 

  Hans Brauer : She's a real cop. There's been a real murder, and *you* are really under arrest. If you don't start talking to us, you're gonna stay in jail. Real... jail.

• Kate Beckett : You lied to me, Mr. Copley. Do you care to revise your statement? 8 p.m. That's plenty of time to drive to the city from Stamford.

  Richard Castle : What'd you do, Lee? Wait for him at the hotel, follow him 'till he was alone?

  Lee Copley : No, I didn't.

  Kate Beckett : And then you used the game as cover.

  Lee Copley : No. Look, I swear, I didn't do it.

  Kate Beckett : Right. You were at home in bed.

  Lee Copley : No, I wasn't... at home, but I was in bed... with his wife.

  Kate Beckett : I'm sorry, what?

  Lee Copley : I was in bed with Roger's wife.

  Richard Castle : Let me, let me get this straight. You-your alibi for killing your friend is you were... doing his, his wife?

  Lee Copley : Yeah.

  Richard Castle : Wow.

• Richard Castle : What's wrong?

  Kate Beckett : I tried Information, our database. They even did an Internet search, and it's like these guys don't even exist.

  Richard Castle : Who?

  Kate Beckett : Fastwater Global Services.

  Richard Castle : Ah! See? I told you. CIA cover.

  [Beckett gives him a look] 

  Richard Castle : No, I mean they probably just don't like to advertise.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, well, I thought so, as well. So I checked their address, 1747 West 43rd Street. It's in the middle of the Hudson River.

• [Castle is concerned about the co-ed dorms Alexis will be stay in during a Princeton summer program] 

  Martha Rodgers : Darling, don't be such a prude. Remember that trip you took to Italy with your class? You were younger than Alexis is now.

  Richard Castle : Mother, if you had any idea what happened on that trip, you would've never let me leave the house again.

• [Castle is ignoring his ringing phone as Martha enters] 

  Martha Rodgers : Aren't you gonna answer that?

  Richard Castle : Nope.

  [Martha walks towards the phone] 

  Richard Castle : And neither are you.

  Martha Rodgers : Ah... Who are you hiding from now?

  Richard Castle : Gina.

  Martha Rodgers : Oh... Forget an alimony payment?

• Alexis Castle : I know we had plans, but they really...

  Richard Castle : Not just plans. Memorial Day. The Hamptons, our annual "kick off the summer" week. I mean... I got the illegal fireworks, the kind you like. The ones with the silver starburst.

  Alexis Castle : Dad, it's Princeton.

  Richard Castle : Can't believe you would blow off illegal fireworks for a lousy head start at a top-notch education.

• [after being introduced to a young guy Alexis will be staying across the hall from in the co-ed dorms during the Princeton Summer program] 

  Richard Castle : How old would you say that kid is?

  Martha Rodgers : Old enough to do all the things you did when you were his age.

• Alexis Castle : You invited someone?

  Richard Castle : She said no at first, but I got a feeling she'll come around.

  Alexis Castle : Oh... Is it anyone I know?

  Richard Castle : I don't kiss and tell.

  Alexis Castle : Well, looks like I'm not the only one who's getting lucky this summer.

  [Castle drops the luggage with stunned look on his face] 

  Alexis Castle : Kidding, kidding. I'm just, I'm just kidding.

  Richard Castle : That's not funny. That's so not funny.

• [last lines] 

  [as Castle is walking away with ex-wife Gina] 

  Kate Beckett : See you in the fall?

  Richard Castle : [stops and turns around]  See you in the fall.
