Kate Beckett: Castle, something's wrong with your mother.Richard Castle: You're just realizing this now?
Richard Castle: So you, being the expert veteran of dozens of crime scenes, decided to pick up the murder weapon, to what? Ensure that we had your prints?Richard Castle: Maybe you missed the part where I said she was shot dead. When I heard the noises coming from the next room, I thought whoever killed her was coming back. So I picked up the gun to defend myself. It seemed like a very good idea at the time. That's when you, Esposito, and Annie Oakley come bursting through the door.Captain Roy Montgomery: Annie Oakley?Kevin Ryan: I kind of almost shot... Castle.Kevin Ryan: What? He had a gun.
Assistant: The principal will be with you in just a moment.Kate Beckett: Thank you. Castle, none of this adds up. What were those girls so afraid of? What happened in that cafeteria?Richard Castle: I'd offer a theory, but I'm too busy having detention flashbacks.Kate Beckett: You must have spent a lot of time in this hallway.Richard Castle: More than I did in class.Kate Beckett: Bet that principal hated you.Richard Castle: I'm wondering if hate's a strong enough word. Principal Dunnan had to hire a crane to get that cow off the roof. But I'm sure that old battle ax has long since retired. Put out to pasture, so to speak.Principal Dunnan: Is that a bovine reference, Mr. Rodgers?Richard Castle: Principal Dunnan. You're, uh, still here.Principal Dunnan: And sadly, you have returned.
Kate Beckett: So, let me get this straight. You got parkoured by a blind priest?Richard Castle: I'd say the blindness is under dispute.Kate Beckett: Uh-huh. And what about the fact that he's sixty? Was he faking his age, too?Richard Castle: Sixty is the new twenty. Did you call just to bust my chops?Kate Beckett: Yeah, pretty much.
