Kate Beckett: Since when do you follow rules?Richard Castle: Since I'm the one who made them.
Richard Castle: Man, these people need to get a life. Most of these guys, it seems their only companionship is the space alien that talks to them through their microwave.Kate Beckett: Yeah, well, there's a lot of lonely and confused people out there, but so far none of the letters match the handwriting in our the suspect's notebook.Richard Castle: Considering what he's capable of, you would think Bracken would have more... formidable enemies.Kate Beckett: Oh, obviously you never saw the letter that I sent him.Richard Castle: No, I did actually. I liked the way you uh, dotted the 'I' on "kill" with a little heart. It was a nice touch.Kate Beckett: Well, I was trying to give it a personal feel.
Kate Beckett: You know, she's got an amazing brain. I mean, if she wanted to, she'd make an incredible lawyer.Richard Castle: Yeah, like I don't lose enough arguments to her already. What about you? You ever regret it? Not getting your law degree?Kate Beckett: Um, I'd rather take criminals down than send them up.Richard Castle: Really?Kate Beckett: Mm-hmm.Richard Castle: Because with your mind, I bet you could've made Chief Justice.

I think we're gonna need a continuance.Richard Castle: Uh, objection.Kate Beckett: Overruled.Kate Beckett: Beckett.
Kate Beckett: Okay, Magoo, let's see that bottle.Jeffrey McGuigan: Seriously? You're just gonna walk into my crib and start bossing me around?Richard Castle: Well, I don't see it here.

You know, I may have dropped out of Cornell when my company went *public*, but I still know my rights.Kate Beckett: That bottle that you purchased might have been used to commit murder. So unless you wanna learn your Miranda rights, you better quit stalling and show us where it is.Jeffrey McGuigan: Yeah, okay, cool. I'm not stalling.Kate Beckett: Great.Jeffrey McGuigan: Yeah.Richard Castle: You were throwing it out?Jeffrey McGuigan: It's in the blue bucket. I recycle.Kate Beckett: Well, it's still *intact*... Unless a sliver of glass came out when it hit.Jeffrey McGuigan: Man, nobody hit anybody.Richard Castle: Yes, well, keep mixing root beer with fine Scotch, that may change.
