Kate Beckett: Call that number and tell him to bring one of his girls over.Richard Castle: And tell her to wear something sexy.Kate Beckett: No reason we can't enjoy this interview.
Kevin Ryan: Castle, how's the knee?Richard Castle: It's not the knee so much as the boredom.Javier Esposito: I thought you writers liked being alone.Richard Castle: Yeah, if I could write. But the painkillers make me a little loopy. Last night, I used the word 'speculate' three times in the same sentence.Kevin Ryan: Hmm. You *must* be bored. You've actually gone "Rear Window".Richard Castle: Alexis got me those as a joke to cheer me up. I have not yet resorted to voyeurism.Kevin Ryan: Then you are missing out.Javier Esposito: What? Let me see.Kevin Ryan: No. Hey!Javier Esposito: Give me the binoculars!Kevin Ryan: Dude, she was just about to take off her towel.Javier Esposito: Oh, the towel's off.Kevin Ryan: Yeah?Kate Beckett: Unless the body that you're looking at is dead, I suggest you drop those binoculars.
Kevin Ryan: But let's say he was all wired up with a briefcase of money. What the hell was he doing?Javier Esposito: It's like Lance was running some kind of half-assed sting operation.Kate Beckett: Maybe he was. I spoke to Narcotics. The club that Lance went to is a *major* hub for drug sales. Run by a guy that you're familiar with, Castle.Richard Castle: Is it... Is that Henry Allen Boothe?Javier Esposito: El Jefe from "Hard Kill"?Richard Castle: He made a career out of playing drug dealers, and then he quit acting.Kate Beckett: And then he began living the part. Apparently, he spent so much time with drug dealers, researching his roles, that he actually became one. Narcotics hasn't been able to make a case against him, though.Richard Castle: This is just like "Hard Kill", where Rico Cruze took down El Jefe. Only now, it's one actor taking on the other actor. But the other actor actually happens to be a drug dealer.Kevin Ryan: But, again, why would *Lance* do this? Why would he go after Boothe?Richard Castle: I don't know, but it's so meta. We should really talk to El Jefe.
Kate Beckett: Hey, Castle, listen... Thank you for staying with me.Richard Castle: Always.Richard Castle: That's...Richard Castle: Perfect timing.Kevin Ryan: Definitely.Javier Esposito: You good?Kate Beckett: Yeah, did she see it?Javier Esposito: No.Captain Victoria Gates: Glad to see you, Detective. Even you, Mr. Castle. I have to say, I don't know too many men who would've done what you did.Kate Beckett: Neither do I.Captain Victoria Gates: [after a pause] Oh, for Heaven's sake Detective. Just kiss the man.Kate Beckett: Sir, you know?Captain Victoria Gates: What? Do you think I'm an idiot? I needed to maintain plausible deniability, which I can continue as long as you two both act professionally at the precinct.Richard Castle: I know I can, but, Captain, she has a long history of coming on to me at work...Kate Beckett: I don't think it'll be a problem, sir.Captain Victoria Gates: Good. Meanwhile, as long as we're on neutral ground here, I'd say, uh... he deserves it, wouldn't you?Kate Beckett: Yes, sir, I would.
