Richard Castle: Every writer needs inspiration... and I found mine.Kate Beckett: Always.Richard Castle: Always.
Richard Castle: In a relationship, if you choose a movie, and you choose very, very poorly, do you lose your turn?Javier Esposito: How poorly?Kate Beckett: "Valentine's Day".Javier Esposito: You should lose two turns.
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.
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.
