You're just trying to act like you are. This is just a tool... It's a hunk of steel. It has no magical powers, and the person that fired it is not some all-powerful God. Just a guy with a gun. Just like the guy we're hunting now. And like every other bad guy, he's damaged goods.Kate Beckett: So am I.Javier Esposito: That's right. And that's okay. You think it's a weakness? Make it a strength. It's a part of you... So use it.
Dr. Carter Burke: Have you ever sought therapy before, Mr. Castle?Richard Castle: Well, if you'd met my mother, you'd know the answer would be yes. But, uh... by my nature, I try to avoid introspection.
Martha Rodgers: And you know, nothing you can say will change how we feel. What men don't understand is, the right clothes, the right shoes, the right makeup, just... It hides the flaws we think we have. They make us look beautiful to ourselves. That's what makes us look beautiful to others.Richard Castle: Used to be... all she needed to feel beautiful was a pink tutu and a plastic tiara.Martha Rodgers: We spend our whole lives trying to feel that way again.
