- Natalie Rhodes: Can I ask you a question?
- Kate Beckett: Sure.
- Natalie Rhodes: Is Castle gay?
- [Beckett spit takes her coffee in surprise]
- Kate Beckett: I'm sorry, what? No. No.
- Natalie Rhodes: Then you two are an item, but you're... sworn to secrecy, right?
- Kate Beckett: No, we are not an item. Why?
- Natalie Rhodes: [sighs] Last night, I invited him back to my place, and he said something to me I have never from a man before.
- Kate Beckett: What?
- Natalie Rhodes: "No."
- Kate Beckett: No?
- Natalie Rhodes: I don't get it. He's into you, but you're determined not to give in to these feelings that you clearly have for him. So he *fantasizes* about you through his writing. It's literally verbal masturbation.

- [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.
