- Kate Beckett: [to Paul Cho] Call that number and tell him to bring one of his girls over.
- Richard Castle: And tell her to wear something sexy.
- [Backett gives him a look]
- Richard Castle: No reason we can't enjoy this interview.
- [Alexis runs in and hugs her Dad]
- Richard Castle: What was that for?
- Alexis Castle: For being the best dad ever.
- Richard Castle: It's true, you know. I have the novelty mug to prove it.
- Richard Castle: You know, sweetheart, if you don't want to tell me what you talked about with Beckett, you don't have to.
- Alexis Castle: Okay. Thanks, dad.
- Martha Rodgers: What is the matter with you? Why didn't you just ask her?
- Richard Castle: Because that would be *prying*. And cool dads don't do that. They go behind their daughter's back and they beg Beckett to tell them.
- Richard Castle: Thanks.
- Kate Beckett: For what?
- Richard Castle: For not saying "I told you so."
- Kate Beckett: Oh, that starts tomorrow.
- Richard Castle: You know what, I'm sure it's nothing. Alexis would never keep anything serious from me. I'm the *cool* dad.
- Paul Cho: I don't understand. I haven't seen Jack in months. Not since he divorced my sister.
- Kate Beckett: Really? Because I have an eyewitness who saw the two of you arguing yesterday morning. So that means you're lying to me.
- Richard Castle: [whispering] She hates being lied to.
- Kate Beckett: Night, Castle.
- Richard Castle: Going to meet Alexis?
- Kate Beckett: Yeah.
- Richard Castle: Can I come?
- Kate Beckett: No!
- Richard Castle: But I want to.
- Kate Beckett: How'd you feel about the fact that Buckley was gonna retry your case and try to make you serve the final two years of your sentence?
- Norman Jessup: Honestly, lady... I cried like a baby.
- Kate Beckett: Huh.
- Norman Jessup: Prison is not fun, okay. I did not want to go back.
- [after Jessup gets out of his handcuffs without a key]
- Richard Castle: How did you do that?
- Norman Jessup: [laughs] I've always been good with locks. When I was in the joint, I was thinking, "How can I take this and make it more productive?" you know. So i've been applying to locksmith schools. But, you know, they won't let me in on account that I'm a felon. Can you believe that? Huh.
- Kate Beckett: Felon who wants to be a locksmith. What could possibly go wrong there?
- Norman Jessup: You don't have to be mean about it.
- [last lines]
- Alexis Castle: Oh, and while we're eating, we can talk about colleges. I picked up a couple of brochures at the guidance office, and you know what looks really cool?
- Richard Castle: What?
- Alexis Castle: Oxford.
- Richard Castle: Oxford? You know... You know that's in England, right?
- Alexis Castle: Yeah.
