Kate Beckett
- Richard Castle: Does he look like a killer to you?
- Kate Beckett: Everybody looks like a killer to me, Castle. Job requirement.
- Richard Castle: Do I look like a killer to you?
- Kate Beckett: Yes. You kill my patience.
- Richard Castle: What?
- Kate Beckett: Nothing.
- [pause]
- Kate Beckett: It's just, I'm so used to you acting like a 12-year-old all the time, it's kind of refreshing to see you as a father.
- Richard Castle: It makes you want me, right?
- Kate Beckett: And there's the 12-year-old again.
- Kate Beckett: She have a drug problem?
- Alexis Castle: Well, she used to. She went to rehab three months ago, after her friends found her choking on her own...
- Richard Castle: Okay! You know, I... You know what? I think it's time we reset the parental controls on your computer.
- Alexis Castle: Please. I had to set parental control on your computer, remember?
- [listening to a song song Hayley wrote about an obsessed fan/stalker]
- Javier Esposito: "Fifty feet or less."
- Kate Beckett: She got a restraining order against him. All right, run it and get me a name.
- Richard Castle: [leading Alexis away] And... you... will go off to school.
- Alexis Castle: But I was just helpful.
- Richard Castle: Yes, but if I let you out of class every time you were helpful, you'd never go.
- Alexis Castle: But I won't be able to focus on school today. I just... can't concentrate.
- Richard Castle: Which will make you just like all the other kids in your class.
- Kate Beckett: How did you kill her?
- Sky Blue: I told her to do the world a favor and drop dead. And then she did. It's funny, she usually doesn't listen to me.
- [after Perlmutter abrubtly ends a phone call]
- Kate Beckett: He just hung up on me.
- Richard Castle: There's a reason he hangs out with dead people.
- Kate Beckett: [analyzing Haley's lyrics] Okay, so she wasn't hiding from death, she was hiding from change.
- Richard Castle: She hated Obama!
- Kevin Ryan: Hey. So... I just took a report from the receiving officer at the 20th Precinct. He recognized Hayley from the news.
- Kate Beckett: And?
- Kevin Ryan: He says Hayley showed up at their door to file a report the *day* she went missing.
- Richard Castle: About what?
- Kevin Ryan: He doesn't know. She asked to speak with a detective. By the time the receiving officer found one, she'd skipped out.
- Javier Esposito: There's only one reason you go to the cops... to report a crime.
- Kate Beckett: Or to get help because you think you're in danger.
- Richard Castle: When did you replace the panel on this baffle?
- Bree Busch: Well, I don't think it's ever been replaced.
- Richard Castle: Yeah, it has. It's newer than the other ones.
- [Castle detaches a panel]
- Bree Busch: Could you be careful, please? That's expensive equipment.
- Kate Beckett: Castle, what are you doing?
- [Castle exposes part of the wall with a piece of duct tape on it; he peels the tape off, revealing a bullet hole]
- Richard Castle: Apparently, I'm uncovering a bullet hole.
- Kate Beckett: So what are you gonna tell Alexis?
- Richard Castle: What I always tell her... The truth.
- [interrupting a fight between Zack and Sky]
- Richard Castle: What did you do to her?
- Zack Metzger: Nothing, man! She attacked me. We were riffing on Hayley's songs. One minute, she's singing along, the next minute, she goes postal, starts telling me I'm stealing from Hayley. She's crazy!
- Richard Castle: It doesn't look good, Zack. Beating up one Blue, killing another.
- Zack Metzger: Look, I already told you guys...
- Kate Beckett: [entering, asserting her authority] Sit down! Sit!
- [Zack sits down]
- Kate Beckett: Now talk.
