Stana Katic: Kate Beckett

Law & Murder

Kate Beckett

Richard Castle: Hmm.
Kate Beckett: "Hmm" what?
Richard Castle: Alexis said she'd be in the Village today, but she's over in Williamsburg.
Kate Beckett: Well, how do you know she's in Williamsburg?
Richard Castle: GPS tracked her phone.
Kate Beckett: You tracked her phone?
Richard Castle: Yeah. Super cool app I just downloaded. I can see where she is at any time.
Kate Beckett: Does she know that you're doing this?
Richard Castle: [laughs] What, are you kidding? No, she'd kill me.
Kate Beckett: And be justified.

Richard Castle: So, plans with Josh tonight?
Kate Beckett: No, he's on shift. I was thinking of sneaking off to the Angelika. "Forbidden Planet"'s playing.
Richard Castle: [feigning ignorance] "Forbidden Planet"? Is, uh... Is that the one with the robot?
Kate Beckett: You've never seen "Forbidden Planet"?
Richard Castle: [shrugs] More of a "Star Wars"/"Matrix" guy myself.
Kate Beckett: Oh, my gosh. Castle, this is the movie that inspired those two. That's it. I'm taking you. My treat.
Richard Castle: Oh, no, no. I, have... I have plans.
Kate Beckett: Nope, not anymore.
Richard Castle: [he follows her out, a smirk on his face] All right, well, can I have, uh, candy and popcorn?
Kate Beckett: Sure. Oh, Castle, you're gonna love this. This is Leslie Nielsen before he became a comic genius.
Richard Castle: Really?
Kate Beckett: Yeah.
Richard Castle: Can we stop at Remy's for burgers after?
Kate Beckett: Now you're pushing it.

Eddie McUsic: I was there, but I didn't kill her. And I didn't kill my brother. But it doesn't really matter what I say, you won't believe me anyway.
Kate Beckett: Well, considering your other choice is murder one, I would roll the dice.

Richard Castle: Why were there news vans out front?
Kate Beckett: Because of who our victim is. Joe McUsic.
Richard Castle: Who?
Kate Beckett: Juror number seven in the Lyla Addison case.
Richard Castle: The Addison case? Seriously? What happened?
Kate Beckett: He dropped dead during the closing argument. Lanie thinks he was poisoned.
Richard Castle: [pulling out his cell phone] Heir to the Addison fortune is murdered and, during the trial, a juror is murdered as well. This has all the makings of a John Grisham novel.
Kate Beckett: What are you doing?
Richard Castle: I'm, uh, texting my poker group, calling dibs on this story.
Lanie Parish: [Beckett and Castle enter the morgue] It was poison, all right. Pink lividity, the smell of bitter almonds. Test strip came back positive for cyanide.
Richard Castle: Cyanide? That is fantastic!
[Lanie looks at him weirdly]
Richard Castle: Unless you're the juror.
