Kate Beckett : [reading newspaper] Castle?
Richard Castle : Hmm.
Kate Beckett : [sighs] Should I be worried about your commitment to our engagement?
Richard Castle : [pause] No. why?
Kate Beckett : 'Cause it says right here that you're getting back together with your ex-wife.
Richard Castle : What?
Kate Beckett : [handing him the paper] Right here, page six.
Richard Castle : [reading] "Castle caught cuddling with ex-wife publisher". No, no. This was a *business* lunch. We were discussing Heat and Storm books.
Kate Beckett : Oh, so, um, you weren't...
[reading]
Kate Beckett : "gazing lovingly into her eyes"?
Richard Castle : She had spinach in her teeth! That's just... Okay. I don't... See, this wouldn't happen if you just let me announce our engagement.
Kate Beckett : We already talked about this. Everyone that's important to us already knows.
Richard Castle : Yes, and just because I'm a public figure doesn't mean you need to be one, too. I know.
Kate Beckett : Exactly.
Richard Castle : [handing the paper back] Well, so long as you don't mind this sort of thing happening.
Kate Beckett : I don't. 'Cause it's not true. And it only gives me more material to torture you with.
Richard Castle : Mmm, and the student becomes the master.
-
Kate Beckett : You haven't written a word, have you?
Richard Castle : No. But in my defense, what am I supposed to write? It's Pi.
Kate Beckett : So then why'd you offer?
Richard Castle : I didn't. Alexis asked... and I can't say no.
[opens laptop]
Richard Castle : But no more excuses. I'm gonna do it right now.
[Castle prepares to start typing when Beckett's phone rings, and he lowers the laptop lid]
Richard Castle : Unless that's a murder.

Kate Beckett : [approaching Lanie and the body] OD?
Lanie Parish : Given her lifestyle, you'd think. But this is plain old-fashioned murder. Blunt-force trauma to the back of the head. The facial lacerations probably happened with the fall.
Kate Beckett : Okay, when did this happen?
Lanie Parish : Lividity puts it between nine and eleven last night.
Javier Esposito : Well, we can cut that time frame in half. The doorman said that the limo dropped her off at the lobby last night at ten p.m.
Kate Beckett : She was killed within an hour of returning home?
Richard Castle : What was she doing back here?
Javier Esposito : Doorman didn't know. But he said that she uses that door sometimes when she wants to avoid the crowd.
Richard Castle : So... maybe she was sneaking out or meeting someone?
Kevin Ryan : If so, it was probably someone she knew. Gates are locked on both sides. You need an access code to get in.
Kate Beckett : Is there any security cam footage we can pull?
Kevin Ryan : Not back here.
Richard Castle : Ironic, seeing as how she spent her entire life in front of cameras.
-
Kate Beckett : Hey, so, how's Pi's recommendation going?
Richard Castle : It took me less time to write the last Derrick Storm novel. And although both are works of fiction, at least that one was believable.
-
Harvey Stryker : Detective, can you confirm for us that Mandy Sutton's dead?
Kate Beckett : [trying to avoid him] I, you know...
Harvey Stryker : Can you give us any details about how she *died*?
Kate Beckett : I got to go, I got work to do. Sorry.
Harvey Stryker : Oh, hey, Richard Castle. Is it true that you're getting back together with your ex-wife?
Richard Castle : This isn't about me today.
[a few moments later]
Kate Beckett : Uh... Castle, how come you didn't deny it?
Richard Castle : What, do you mean back there? Are you kidding? Yeah, if I deny that, then they think it's true. I thought that stuff didn't bother you.
Kate Beckett : It doesn't.
-
Richard Castle : How ya feeling?
Mandy Sutton : Considering I'm supposed to be dead, about right.
Richard Castle : Yeah.
[chuckles]
Mandy Sutton : I just can't believe that freak was actually in my bedroom.
Richard Castle : Well, we'll find him. Yeah, I know how tough it can be. The crazy fans, the constant scrutiny, the pressure of living your life under a microscope. I mean, I can relate. On a smaller scale, of course. But still, it's...
Mandy Sutton : And who are you?
Richard Castle : [under his breath] On a much, smaller scale.
-
Alexis Castle : Hey, can you believe that about Mandy Sutton? It's weird, right?
Richard Castle : Yes, weird.
Alexis Castle : Remember how much I loved her show? And those secret identity glasses. If you were mad at me, I'd wear a pair of glasses to dinner and you'd pretend like you didn't know who I was?
Richard Castle : I remember. Actually...
Alexis Castle : But then she grew up and, whoa! I mean, how does that happen to someone? Becoming such a hot mess?
[Mandy, who has been sitting there, takes off the hood of her jacket]
Alexis Castle : [mortified] Oh, my God... I... thought you were...
Mandy Sutton : Yeah.
Richard Castle : Alexis... this is Mandy. We're just, uh, keeping her under wraps for now. This is my daughter.
Mandy Sutton : Hmm.
Alexis Castle : [awkwardly] It's nice to meet you.

[last lines]
Javier Esposito : Hey, Castle. Looks like your love life made the paper again.
Richard Castle : Ah. What? All right, all right, who am I hooking up with now?
Kevin Ryan : [reading] "Novelist Richard Castle and New York Police Detective Katherine Beckett, both native New Yorkers, are pleased to announce their engagement."
Richard Castle : No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't- I didn't- I did- I didn't do this.
Kate Beckett : Actually... I did.
Richard Castle : I thought you...
Kate Beckett : Yeah, I-I know, Castle. I like my privacy, but I do realize that you're somewhat famous.
Richard Castle : Somewhat?
[Ryan and Esposito raise their hands and hold their index fingers and thumbs about an inch apart]
Kate Beckett : Yes. And if we're gonna be together, I have to come to terms with that. And if they are gonna write about you, I want it to be the truth. I want it to be about us.
[she wraps her arms around his neck]
Kate Beckett : [Ryan and Espo approach, grins on their faces]
Richard Castle : Well, there's no one I...
[he and Beckett look at Ryan and Esposito until they leave]
Richard Castle : There's no one I'd rather share a headline with. But just for the interest of accuracy... does it say we're getting married in space?
Kate Beckett : No, that's not gonna happen, babe.
[she leaves]
Richard Castle : [to himself] It'd be pretty fun... Space.
