• Natalie Rhodes : Can I ask you a question?

  Kate Beckett : Sure.

  Natalie Rhodes : Is Castle gay?

  [Beckett spit takes her coffee in surprise] 

  Kate Beckett : I'm sorry, what? No. No.

  Natalie Rhodes : Then you two are an item, but you're... sworn to secrecy, right?

  Kate Beckett : No, we are not an item. Why?

  Natalie Rhodes : [sighs]  Last night, I invited him back to my place, and he said something to me I have never from a man before.

  Kate Beckett : What?

  Natalie Rhodes : "No."

  Kate Beckett : No?

  Natalie Rhodes : I don't get it. He's into you, but you're determined not to give in to these feelings that you clearly have for him. So he *fantasizes* about you through his writing. It's literally verbal masturbation.

  [watching Natalie Rhodes' audition tape for Nikki Heat] 

  Natalie Rhodes : [as Nikki]  Game over, and you lose, Tom... Drop it.

  Male Actor : [as Tom]  Put down the gun or I swear I'll blow his head off.

  Natalie Rhodes : [as Nikki]  You know I can't do that, Tom.

  Male Actor : [as Tom, shouting]  You think I'm kidding around here, Detective Heat?

  Natalie Rhodes : [as Nikki]  No, I don't. I think you feel trapped and you're serious as hell! But right now, I need you to think about the people who love you, and they need you to put down that gun.

  Richard Castle : [pausing the video]  I can't take it anymore.
