If that's all this was, I-I would've quit a long time ago.Kate Beckett: Well, then, why do you keep coming back, Rick?Kate Beckett: Look, I may not have a badge... unless you count the chocolate one Alexis gave me for my birthday... But I'll tell you this, like it or not, I'm your plucky sidekick.Kate Beckett: Plucky sidekick always gets killed.Richard Castle: Partner, then.
