Kate Beckett: Castle, something's wrong with your mother.Richard Castle: You're just realizing this now?
Richard Castle: Hey, do you know what Lanie and Esposito were fighting about?Kate Beckett: Everything. They both want to be together, but neither of them wants to admit to it.Richard Castle: Ugh! Why do people do that to themselves?Kate Beckett: Maybe they just don't see it.Richard Castle: How could they not? It's so obvious.
Kate Beckett: Espo, what are we doing back here?Javier Esposito: I want to show you something.Kate Beckett: What is that?Javier Esposito: The rifle, that shot you.Kate Beckett: You are way out of line.Javier Esposito: Just look at it.Kate Beckett: What the hell are you doing?Javier Esposito: I've been where you are, I know what you're going through.Kate Beckett: Javi, I'm fine.Javier Esposito: You're not fine. 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.
Kate Beckett: Hey, Lanie, we got a jumper?Lanie Parish: Judging by the impact, I'd say he came from one of those windows above the 7th floor. Ryan and Esposito are already into find the room with the hotel staff.Richard Castle: So... He's naked.Lanie Parish: Perceptive.Richard Castle: Well, it is pretty cold out. If this was a suicide, wouldn't you rather be warm and toasty on your way down to your certain, yet citrusy death?Lanie Parish: If it were suicide, would you really have these?Lanie Parish: Fingernail marks. Only an hour old?Kate Beckett: Well, looks like he did the deed before taking the dive.Richard Castle: Last item on your bucket list?
