A Chill Goes Through Her Veins

Season 1, Episode 5


Beckett: This is for the life I saved [pointing at the watch on her left arm which belongs to her father]. And. This is for the life I lost [picking at her necklace which belongs to her dead mother].


Beckett: I guess your Nikki Heat has a back story now, Castle.

Castle: I don't know. I did kinda liked the hooker by day, cop by night thing. But, I guess a heavy emotional angle could work too.

Beckett: Well, don't bewilder your audience with substance on my account, Castle.


Castle: Alright, so you and I are married.

Beckett: We are not married!

Castle: Relax, it's just pretend.

Beckett: I don't wanna pretend.

Castle: Scared you'll like it?

Beckett: Okay, if we're married, I want a divorce.

Apartment Guy: Are you two like this all the time?

Castle & Beckett: Yes.


(after Alexis helps him figure out a problem with the case)

Castle: It's family moments like these I will never forget.

Alexis: With a good therapist, hopefully I will!


[parked outside the home of a grandfather who killed his daughter's murderer]

Castle: You could just leave it like this. Sam's dead. The captain's happy. Those kids look pretty happy.

Beckett: That's the difference between a novel and the real world, Castle. A cop doesn't get to decide how the story ends.
