Kate Beckett : [referring to Alexis] You know, she's got an amazing brain. I mean, if she wanted to, she'd make an incredible lawyer.
Richard Castle : Yeah, like I don't lose enough arguments to her already. What about you? You ever regret it? Not getting your law degree?
Kate Beckett : Um, I'd rather take criminals down than send them up.
Richard Castle : Really?
Kate Beckett : Mm-hmm.
Richard Castle : Because with your mind, I bet you could've made Chief Justice. You have all the qualifications. You're smart, you are intimidating, and you look very, very good in a robe.
Kate Beckett : Wow. Really?
Richard Castle : Mmm.
Kate Beckett : Care to take a ten minute recess in my chambers?
Richard Castle : If it please the court, I would.
[she laughs and leans in to kiss when her phone rings]
Kate Beckett : Oh. I think we're gonna need a continuance.
Richard Castle : Uh, objection.
Kate Beckett : Overruled.
[answers phone]
Kate Beckett : Beckett.

[Gates has asked Castle to compete in the precinct talent competition, and he nonchalantly signs up Beckett, as well]
Javier Esposito : Oh, Castle. You really don't think you have a shot at winning that trophy?
Richard Castle : Oh, I think I have more than just a shot.
Kate Beckett : Castle.
Javier Esposito : You do understand that me and Ryan have been rehearsing for months.
Richard Castle : Well, what Beckett and I have cannot be rehearsed. It's chemistry. The intuitive bond, each person knowing what the other's thinking.
Kate Beckett : Castle, can we talk for a second over... there?
Richard Castle : [to Esposito] I knew she was gonna say that.
[turns and follows Beckett]
Javier Esposito : Mmm.
Kate Beckett : Don't you think you should have... asked me before signing me up for this?
Richard Castle : I thought you were on board. Uh... you were trash-talking Ryan about it before.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, that's when I thought that there was no chance in hell that we would actually do it.
Richard Castle : Oh, relax. We'll just do our routine.
Kate Beckett : We don't have a routine.
Richard Castle : Come on! That thing in the shower? That is delightful.
Kate Beckett : No, that's not a routine. That's two naked people singing when there's no one around to see or hear it.
Richard Castle : So we'll add some dance steps and clothes. It's can't-miss.
-
Richard Castle : Look... about the routine, I know you're worried, but...
Kate Beckett : It's okay, Castle. It doesn't matter what we do.
Richard Castle : Hey, that's the spirit!
Kate Beckett : It's gonna be a disaster.
Richard Castle : That's not the spirit.
Kate Beckett : I'm probably gonna trip, my dress is gonna split. Video's gonna go viral.
Richard Castle : Okay, now you're just sounding paranoid. Where is this coming from?
Kate Beckett : I'm just saying, Castle, it could happen. I mean, there's a reason why Captain Gates doesn't get up on the stage and have fun.
Richard Castle : I just always assumed it was because she was genetically incapable of it.
-
Kate Beckett : Since when do you turn down a challenge?
Richard Castle : Oh, they know we're better. No sense in embarrassing them.
Kate Beckett : You know, don't you?
Richard Castle : Know what?
Kate Beckett : That's why we got pulled from the line-up. Kimmel's your bud. You must have called him and told him to perform so we wouldn't have to. Or... so that I wouldn't have to.
Richard Castle : I... may have overheard you talking to my mother.
Kate Beckett : You did that for me?
Richard Castle : No more of a sacrifice than what you were gonna do for me. Kate, why wouldn't you just say something?
Kate Beckett : I didn't want you think less of me, and I really didn't want anyone else to know, so... Stupid.
Richard Castle : No, not stupid. Just human.
Kate Beckett : Aren't you disappointed you're not gonna be able to perform for an audience?
Richard Castle : The only audience I care about is you.

Kevin Ryan : [chuckles] Well, back in reality, our John Doe was found this morning by sanitation workers. No phone, no wallet.
Kate Beckett : Cause?
Lanie Parish : Blunt-force trauma to the back of the head. Probably a pipe or a baseball bat. Based on lividity, I'd say it happened between 12 and 2 a.m. this morning.
Richard Castle : Any witnesses?
Javier Esposito : A guy who lives nearby heard screams around 1 a.m. He looked out his window, he saw a car speeding away.
Kate Beckett : He get a make and model?
Javier Esposito : Just taillights. But he said it looked like a sports car. Ryan and I are gonna keep looking for witnesses and street cam footage, but it's an industrial area, so coverage is spotty.
Kate Beckett : Wait a minute. I think I know this guy. He's the personal injury attorney on TV who has those late-night ads.
Lanie Parish : Oh, my God. You're right! That's, uh...
Richard Castle , Javier Esposito : The Pitbull.
Kevin Ryan : The Pitbull?
Richard Castle : Yeah. Richie "The Pitbull" Falco? Come on, man, you've seen the ads. A guy's head on a dog's body. "You've been in an accident? Take the law by the tail."
Lanie Parish : "And get a bite at the settlement you deserve."
Kate Beckett : "I'll make the law...
Kate Beckett , Lanie Parish , Richard Castle , Javier Esposito : ...your bitch."
[Espo translates something in Spanish]
Kevin Ryan : Why am I the only one who's never seen this commercial?
Javier Esposito : Because it comes on late at night. And when you're not moonlighting, your honeymilk-sipping ass is in bed by ten.

[Castle and Beckett singing Got You Under My Skin in the shower]
Richard Castle : '"Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?'
Kate Beckett : "Use your mentality"
Richard Castle : "wake up to reality"
Kate Beckett : "But each time that I do just the thought of you"
Richard Castle : "Makes me stop before I begin"
Richard Castle , Kate Beckett : "'Cause I've got you under my skin"
Kate Beckett : Oh.
