Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Kate Beckett : And if you tell anyone what I'm about to say, there's gonna be another shooting, but... I've gotten used to you pulling my pigtails... I have a hard job, Castle, and having you around makes it... a little more fun.

  Richard Castle : [pause]  Your secret's safe with me.

• [first lines] 

  Javier Esposito : Meet the late Jack Coonan.

  Kate Beckett : Why is that name familiar?

  Kevin Ryan : 'Cause it probably crossed all our desks a dozen times in the last few years. Aggravated assault, ADW, arson.

  Javier Esposito : Coonan had a heavy rep. Word is he's an enforcer for the Westies.

  Lanie Parish : Okay, remind me. Who are the Westies, again?

  Richard Castle : Irish mafia out of Hell's Kitchen.

  Kate Beckett : They deal in cargo theft, counterfeiting, extortion.

  Kevin Ryan : And public urination on St. Patrick's Day.

• Kate Beckett : It wasn't your fault, you know.

  Richard Castle : [long pause]  I overstepped. I came down here to say that I'm sorry. And that I'm through... I can't shadow you anymore. If it wasn't for me...

  Kate Beckett : If it wasn't for you, I would have never found my mom's killer. And someday soon, I'm gonna find the sons of bitches who had Coonan kill her. And I'd like you around when I do.

• Kate Beckett : I let her down.

  Richard Castle : No, you didn't.

  Kate Beckett : Rathborne's in the wind. Dick Coonan's about to walk.

  [pause] 

  Kate Beckett : I missed something.

  Richard Castle : Could have been me. Rathborne could've checked the routing number, realized the money was coming from... *my* account, not Dick's. I was arrogant.

  Kate Beckett : I didn't think you were arrogant, Castle. I thought what you did was sweet. And I will pay you back as...

  Richard Castle : Negative, ghostwriter. Small price to pay for a shot at your mother's killer.

• Kate Beckett : Castle, these Westies can be pretty rough.

  [chambers a bullet in her gun] 

  Kate Beckett : So you sure you don't wanna stay in the car?

  Richard Castle : No way.

  Kate Beckett : Okay. Keep your mouth shut and... try to butch up a little.

• [Beckett and Castle in the morgue with what they think is the murder weapon] 

  Lanie Parish : That's not it.

  Kate Beckett : You didn't even look.

  Lanie Parish : Sure I did. It's a stiletto, four-inch Damascus blade, and it's way too small to make these wounds.

  Richard Castle : Well, maybe he used a different knife.

  Lanie Parish : Just how tall is this Trucho?

  Kate Beckett : He's, um... 5'6".

  Richard Castle : Standing on his toes.

  Lanie Parish : Then he's not your guy. Thrust angle on these wounds indicate Coonan's killer was over six-foot.

  Richard Castle : Well, maybe instead of using a stiletto, he was wearing stilettos.

• Richard Castle : No one even knows what Rathborne looks like.

  Officer Clayton Lee : Well, he shouldn't be too hard to spot.

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, he'll be the one who's trying to kill ya.
