[Alexis is dejected after being denied admission to Stanford]
Alexis Castle : How do you do it, Dad?
Richard Castle : Do what?
Alexis Castle : Well, that letter that you have framed in your office.
Richard Castle : My first manuscript rejection.
Alexis Castle : Yeah. How can you stand having it there?
Richard Castle : Because it drives me. And I got twenty more of those before Black Pawn ever agreed to publish "In a Hail of Bullets". That letter... that letter reminds me of what I've overcome. Rejection isn't failure.
Alexis Castle : It sure feels like failure.
Richard Castle : No, failure is giving up. Everybody gets rejected. It's how you handle it that determines where you'll end up.
Alexis Castle : My whole life has been about making sure I could get into any college I wanted. What's it about now?
Richard Castle : Give it time. You'll figure it out.

Kate Beckett : Based on blood, Dr. Parish determined that our victim is a male, so we're looking for missing persons reports of men in that area.
Captain Victoria Gates : Men? You've narrowed the victim pool down to men.
Richard Castle : Uh, well, in New York City, that actually eliminates over 4 million *women*, so...
Captain Victoria Gates : Mr. Castle, I don't know what the mayor sees in you, but I know how you're alike. He's term-limited.
[turns and leaves]
Richard Castle : Maybe if I sent her...
Kate Beckett : No
Richard Castle : ...flowers
Kate Beckett : No

Kevin Ryan : So, not only is Beau Randolph the proud owner of a Smith & Wesson .45 automatic...
Kate Beckett : Which is a large enough caliber to have created that entry wound in our victim.
Kevin Ryan : ...he also has a carry permit.
Richard Castle : [outraged] What? *I* couldn't even get a carry permit. How did he get one?
Kevin Ryan : The hard way. Several guys saw their girlfriends in his videos and beat the hell out of him.
Richard Castle : [turning to Beckett] No longer jealous.

[seeing a group of 20-ish girls at Beau Randolph's "College Girls Gone Wild" studio]
Richard Castle : Someone needs to get these girls clothes made of actual fabric.
Kate Beckett : When did you become so judgmental about practically naked women?
Richard Castle : Since my daughter hit college age.
-
Lanie Parish : They're not a match.
Kate Beckett : What do you mean they're not a match?
Lanie Parish : I mean the bullets in Lester Hamilton's chest were not fired by Beau Randolph's gun.
Richard Castle : Are you sure?
Lanie Parish : [sarcastic] No, I just sit down here all day and make stuff up. Of course I'm sure.
Richard Castle : Sorry.
-
Richard Castle : Missing body, killers who literally cover their tracks. Anyone else getting a quick-strike assassin squad vibe?
Kevin Ryan : Oh, come on, Castle, you're not saying this was some type of black ops job?
Richard Castle : I'm not saying it. The evidence is saying it. I'm betting this guy's buried at sea by now.
Kate Beckett : Lanie, there's an imprint in the blood.
Lanie Parish : Yeah, it looks like a box or a case.
Kate Beckett : Might have been our victim's.
Richard Castle : Nuclear launch codes, probably.
-
Richard Castle : Who would sign up for an illegal experimentation of an untested surgical procedure?
Martha Rodgers : Oh, I don't know. Make you feel better, live longer, hell, I'd give it a try. Though not in a sleazy hotel. I need five stars.
-
Richard Castle : The Ambrosia project. It sounds like a Robert Ludlum novel, where the millionaire playboy kills a researcher to get his hands on the secret formula for eternal life.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, well, ten years is not eternal life.
Richard Castle : Would you do it? Would you get the implants?
Kate Beckett : [teasing, glancing at her chest] I don't think I need 'em, huh?
-
Kate Beckett : Getting that body was supposed to sew our case up, not blow it apart. How could those bullets not match?
Richard Castle : I have a theory, but you're not gonna like it.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, I'm open to anything right now.
Richard Castle : Randolph is innocent.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, you're right. I don't like it.
-
Richard Castle : [reads text from Alexis] Ugh!
Kate Beckett : Alexis?
Richard Castle : Yeah, she's spinning out. She's never not gotten something she's set her sights on. Do you mind if I...?
Kate Beckett : No, no. You should be with her now.
Richard Castle : You're sure?
Kate Beckett : Yeah, Castlel I think I can manage without you for a few hours.
Richard Castle : All right. Don't look so happy about it.

[first lines]
Richard Castle : Yes!
Martha Rodgers : What are you so excited about?
Richard Castle : It's the latest issue of 'SkyMall'. Sweet.
Martha Rodgers : Oh, really, darling, who subscribes to 'SkyMall'? Isn't perusing all that dreck on the plane enough?
Richard Castle : Dreck? Mother, I will have you know this is the gateway to the hottest, new inventions in the world. Where else can you find a remote control that has a bottle opener...
-
Kate Beckett : I mean, we caught the guy with our victim's head.
Richard Castle : 99 times out of 100, you catch someone with a guy's head, he killed the guy.

[last lines]
Richard Castle : Wouldn't it be something if they reunited 100, even 1,000 years from now?
Kate Beckett : Well, anything's possible.
Richard Castle : You really believe that?
Kate Beckett : It's what the great love stories are about, right? Beating the odds?
Richard Castle : I hope they make it.
Kate Beckett : Me, too.
