Quotes 

• [Castle dislikes the actress playing Nikki Heat] 

  Richard Castle : Nikki Heat... is classy, she's complicated. She's a... thinking man's cop.

  Kate Beckett : No, we can't judge a book by its cover.

  Richard Castle : Yes, actually. Yes, I can, when it's my book.

• [in the break room with Castle, watching Natalie at the murder board] 

  Kate Beckett : Do I really do that?

  Richard Castle : Yes... and it's adorable.

  Kate Beckett : If it's so adorable why didn't you sleep with me?

  [Castle looks at her in surprise] 

  Kate Beckett : Her-me, not me-me.

• [Natalie has purchased a costume that resembles Beckett's outfit] 

  Kate Beckett : [whispers]  You cannot tell me that that is *normal*.

  Richard Castle : She's just committed to the role.

  [Castle hurries to follow Natalie out the door] 

  Kate Beckett : You should be flattered.

  Kate Beckett : [to herself]  Yeah... sure... Until she steals my boyfriend and kills me in my *sleep*.

• Kate Beckett : Can we talk for a second?

  Richard Castle : Sure.

  [Beckett pulls him away from Natalie as fast as she can] 

  Kate Beckett : She took my *coffee*, Castle.

  Richard Castle : It's just coffee.

  Kate Beckett : Then what's next? My soul? Everything I do, she does. Even when I'm thinking, I can feel her in my head like some kind of a brain-eating parasite from one of her movies.

• [Castle's phone rings and he looks at it] 

  Richard Castle : It's Beckett. She is gonna *hate* the idea of Natalie Rhodes.

  Alexis Castle : Pick it up, Dad. A murder will make you feel better.

• [Castle watching Natalie Rhodes' audition tape for Nikki Heat again as Alexis comes in] 

  Alexis Castle : Torturing yourself?

  Richard Castle : [pauses video]  Reconsidering... actually. I think there's more to her than I thought.

  Alexis Castle : I think she might surprise you. She did this great emotional scene in "Knife 3-D". It was actually pretty moving.

  [Castle give her a look] 

  Alexis Castle : If I'd seen it, which I haven't.

• [Castle and Beckett in a room when Natalie walks wearing a sexy version of Beckett's outfit] 

  Richard Castle : [quietly in surprise]  Just like I dreamed it.

  [Beckett turns and looks at him] 

  Richard Castle : Did I say that out loud?

• [first lines] 

  [watching Natalie Rhodes' audition tape for Nikki Heat] 

  Natalie Rhodes : [as Nikki]  Game over, and you lose, Tom... Drop it.

  Male Actor : [as Tom]  Put down the gun or I swear I'll blow his head off.

  Natalie Rhodes : [as Nikki]  You know I can't do that, Tom.

  Male Actor : [as Tom, shouting]  You think I'm kidding around here, Detective Heat?

  Natalie Rhodes : [as Nikki]  No, I don't. I think you feel trapped and you're serious as hell! But right now, I need you to think about the people who love you, and they need you to put down that gun.

  Richard Castle : [pausing the video]  I can't take it anymore.

• Martha Rodgers : And your books are not exactly Shakespeare.

  Richard Castle : Thank you. I was just hoping to elevate their stature... by not casting the chainsaw-wielding hooker from "Hallowscream".

  Alexis Castle : Hey, I liked that movie.

  [Castle gives her a look] 

  Alexis Castle : If I had seen it, which I haven't.

• [last lines] 

  [Ryan has just proposed to Jenny in the precinct] 

  Richard Castle : That was big.

  Kate Beckett : Oh... And intimate.
