"Beach house? Thought you were working this weekend..."
"Yeah, I'm sorry Castle. I should have just told you. I just didn't want things to be... awkward between us now that Tom and I are... together."
"No, I get it. Yeah, no, you want your private life to be private."
"Yeah, I just don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable."
"No, of course not. No, I mean... Actually that makes what I was going to say a little easier..."
"What with my book due I was thinking it would be a good time for us to take a break."
"A break?"
"Yeah, God knows you gotta be tired of me following you around all the time and I really do need to get some work done. With everyone gone I figure why not just stay up in the Hamptons, you know, get away from the city for a while."
"Well for how long?"
"The summer, at least. I thought this would be our last case."
"As much as I'd like to help you run down every dark sedan in the city, I have a poker game to host. See you in the morning."
"See ya."
So, Castle's last case, huh? Ryan and I thought we'd do a little going away party."
"Yeah, well, it's not like he's leaving forever."
"You sure about that? Why do you think he's been following you around all this time? What, research? The guy's done enough research to write fifty books. Look, whatever the reason is, I'm pretty sure it doesn't include watching you be with another guy."
"She seems like more of a distraction that a muse."
"You're right. I think I've gotten everything I can get out of that relationship anyway."
"It's sad a man had to die because all the people were too scared to say what they really felt."
"Yes, it is sad."
"What is it you're looking for, Kate?"
I just love that last shot. ♥
"Oh, look who's off duty!"
"Yeah, well, Castle, I'm not all work."
"Don't get in to a drinking contest with her, she can take you."
"Thank you."
"Oh, I don't need to drink to take him."
"Ooh, what's got in to you?"
"What's up?"
"Look, I know that I"m not the easiest person to get to know, and I don't always let on what's on my mind. But, this past year of working with you... I've had a really good time."
"Yeah, me too."
"So, I'm just gonna say this, and..."
"Richard? You ready?"
"Going?"
"To the Hamptons."
"For the weekend?"
"No, for the summer actually." [...]
"I'm sorry, I didn't think the two of you got along."
[...] "So, I'm sorry. You were telling me something."
"Yeah, I wanted to say... have a great summer."
"You too. And like you said, it's been really, really great."
"Yeah, it has."
"See you in the fall?"
"See you in the fall."
