- [Beckett and Castle are talking to a real estate developer]
- Kate Beckett: Do you have any brochures? I'm looking for a place... Mine blew up.
- [examining victim dressed as a police officer]
- Kate Beckett: He's from the 116th in Queens. This is an old-style badge, though.
- Richard Castle: Oh, maybe he's old school. Didn't want to give up the badge he built his career on.
- Lanie Parish: Castle, he's mid-20s.
- Richard Castle: You ever heard of a brilliant doctor named Doogie Howser?
- Hans Von Mannschaft: [with a heavy accent] Derek... was a little bitch. Do you know how many hours he spent rehearsing our Privates of the Caribbean routine? Hmm?
- [Beckett shakes her head no]
- Hans Von Mannschaft: Zero. He was all artsy-fartsy with his acting auditions this and play rehearsals that. Hans Von Mannschaft is the one doing the real work out there every night.
- Richard Castle: [laughing] Hans Von Mannschaft? That's a hell of a stage name.
- Hans Von Mannschaft: I'll have you know I come from a long line of *proud* Von Mannschafts.
- Kate Beckett: And have any of them served time for murder?
- Hans Von Mannschaft: [dropping his accent] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Murder?
- Richard Castle: Careful, Hans. Your New Jersey is starting to show.
- [Castle and Beckett at a male strip club]
- Richard Castle: I can't believe you got dressed up for this... Tell me again why Ryan and Esposito couldn't come with you?
- Kate Beckett: We all agreed as Volunteer Assistant Homicide Detective, you could really sink your teeth into this avenue of investigation... And they called "not it."
- Richard Castle: You know, ever since I've been following you, I've been dreaming of the day that you'd say "Let's go the strip club and get this dirtbag." I just never imagined it would feel like this.
- Kate Beckett: Let me know if you need any singles.
- [at morgue, looking at the victim, a male stripper]
- Richard Castle: He's not that handsome. You want my opinion, 300 bucks an hour... a little steep.
- Lanie Parish: As the person in this room that's seen everything under the sheet... bargin.
- Richard Castle: You know, Mother... I think you're a really good influence on Alexis.
- Martha Rodgers: What's with you, kiddo? Fever? Delirium?
- [last lines]
- Richard Castle: I am proud of you for trying.
- Richard Castle: Thanks, Dad. And there's a silver lining. After the announcement, the drama teacher offered me stage manager. It's way more my style and I get to keep all my after-school clubs.
- Richard Castle: My little overachiever. Well, congratulations on not getting the part.
- Alexis Castle: Mm! Smells good.
- Richard Castle: Come and help me. Wash up. Let me take your coat. You can chop these up...
