Michael Dorn: Dr. Carter Burke

Quotes 

• Dr. Carter Burke : You're upset.

  Kate Beckett : No... Yes, okay? Fine. Yes, I thought that the two of us were actually getting closer together. And now it seems like he's just pulling away.

  Dr. Carter Burke : Have you asked him why?

  Kate Beckett : Yes. And he said, "Oh, everything is fine."

  Dr. Carter Burke : What makes you think it isn't?

  Kate Beckett : Because he's acting like a complete *jackass*! He shows up at the precinct with these bimbos hanging on his arm and now he's running around with another cop.

  Dr. Carter Burke : Is this other cop a woman?

  Kate Beckett : No! No. Why... why would you even ask that? That's not even the point. The point is I don't understand why he's acting like this. I mean, what did I do?

  Dr. Carter Burke : Well, maybe, from his point of view, the question is, what *didn't* you do?

  Kate Beckett : Wait, what? Wh-What do you mean?

  Dr. Carter Burke : When you were shot, Castle said that he loved you. How long ago was that?

  Kate Beckett : Seven months ago, but I wasn't ready to hear that then.

  Dr. Carter Burke : What do you think he's telling you with his behavior.

  Kate Beckett : [pause than slowly]  That maybe he's not there... anymore? That maybe he's not ready?

  [she sits down and sighs heavily] 

  Kate Beckett : What if I waited too long?

  Dr. Carter Burke : You weren't waiting, Kate. You were healing.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, but then in the meantime, he's moved on.

  Dr. Carter Burke : Or he's protecting himself by not taking more emotional risks.

  Kate Beckett : So then what do I do?

  Dr. Carter Burke : What do you want to do?
