Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : No, Castle, we are not having a honeymoon at a dude ranch!

• [seeing Beckett dressed up in Old West garb] 

  Richard Castle : This is like three fantasies coming true all at once. The only thing missing is... Gentleman James, where do we get the replica guns? Like yours?

  James Grady : Replica? Son, this is Arizona. It's open carry.

  [Castle looks at Beckett, excited] 

  James Grady : Say, do either of you two know what's quicker than lightning?

  Richard Castle : What?

  [James pulls his gun out its holster and twirls it in fancy fashion] 

  James Grady : This gun tamed the Wild West. Colt .45 Single Action Peacemaker.

  [returns gun to holster with flourish] 

  Richard Castle : I wanna be him when I grow up.

  Kate Beckett : Well, yeah, if you grow up.

• Kate Beckett : [Castle is dumbstruck by Beckett's sexy Old West outfit]  Eyes back in their sockets, cowboy. We got a murder to solve.

• [at the hospital to see the victim having left Esposito, Ryan, and Lanie at their apartment as the three were upset, due to their not being at the wedding] 

  Richard Castle : Well, it could've been worse.

  Kate Beckett : It still might be. I mean, who knows what they're doing to our place right now.

  Richard Castle : You hear what you just said?

  Kate Beckett : Hmm?

  Richard Castle : "Our place." Our. We're married. We're married. We did it, Mrs. Castle.

  Kate Beckett : [chuckles]  We certainly did, Mr. Beckett. Although, this arguably isn't the most romantic post-wedding activity.

• Richard Castle : Okay, "Diamondback." I have whittled it down to three possibilities as to what that means and why Whitney would utter it with her dying breath.

  Kate Beckett : And I am sure that none of them will be a waste of my time.

  Richard Castle : Possibility number one, it's the password for a murderous underground snake-handling fight club.

  [gets a skeptical look from Beckett] 

  Richard Castle : Granted, that's probably not what it means, but it might be the basis for my next Nikki Heat novel. Possibility number two, she was killed by the Marvel character, Diamondback, whose special skill was throwing diamond-shaped spikes filled with poison.

  [another skeptical look] 

  Richard Castle : Third possibility...

  Javier Esposito : [approaching]  It's a dude ranch in Arizona.

  Kevin Ryan : We struck out with the Dagmars, but we found an e-mail to Whitney from a "Diamondback Old West Ranch," confirming a two-week stay in bunkhouse number fourteen.

  Richard Castle : Old West dude ranch. That's my number three. It's exactly what I was gonna say. Good work, boys.

  [he pats Esposito on the shoulder, but stops when he sees Esposito's angry look] 

  Javier Esposito : You still suck.

  Kevin Ryan : And you owe us for those tuxedo rentals.

• [learning of an affair the victim allegedly had while staying at the ranch] 

  Richard Castle : An affair with a married man.

  Kate Beckett : Yes, and she was with him until 3 am. That's right in the middle of her time-of-poisoning window.

  Richard Castle : We gotta find this guy.

  Kate Beckett : But how? We're undercover. I can't just flash my badge and get people to talk.

  Richard Castle : Exactly. Which is why we don't approach this like cops, we approach this like writers.

  Kate Beckett : So, we procrastinate and make stuff up?

  Richard Castle : No. Well, yes, but no. In this particular instance, we approach the investigation like writers by... doing research.

• Kate Beckett : Really? Couldn't resist, huh? Just had to get a six-shooter.

  Richard Castle : Right? Isn't it great? And it gets better. I got you one, too. It's a wedding gift. His-and-her matching set.

  Kate Beckett : And who said romance dies after you say, "I do"?

• [Beckett has unlocked their room is about to enter] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, wait. Whether we like it or not, we are on our honeymoon. So, we must act accordingly.

  [Castle picks Beckett up in his arms] 

  Kate Beckett : Oh, jeez!

  [laughs] 

  Kate Beckett : [and carries her across the threshold to see how shoddy the room is] 

  Kate Beckett : Oh, yeah. So not our honeymoon.

  [starts searching the room] 

  Richard Castle : You're looking for disinfectant?

  Kate Beckett : Clues. Remember? Whitney was staying here.

  Richard Castle : I highly doubt we're gonna find anything in this room that can help us.

  [Castle opens a door to the bathroom and finds a naked man] 

  Tobias : Howdy, partner.

  Richard Castle : [shuts the door]  I don't know if it comes with the room, but there's a naked cowboy shaving in our bathroom.

  Kate Beckett : I'm sorry, what?

  [Castle opens the door again] 

  Tobias : My fault, forgot to lock the door. It's a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. I'm in the room on the other side.

• [Castle and Beckett just told Lanie, Ryan and Esposito they got married without them there] 

  Lanie Parish : I am your maid of honor. I haven't had a carb in months, just in case I had to put that damn dress back on.

  Kate Beckett : And you look great.

  Lanie Parish : Save the flattery. Kate, you owe me dinner. I'm picking the restaurant, and we're ordering *all* the desserts!

• [last lines] 

  Kate Beckett : So, now, we have four days to do whatever we want.

  Richard Castle : And you wanna stay here?

  Kate Beckett : Of course I wanna stay. After all, this is our honeymoon.

  [they kiss] 

  Kate Beckett : Oh, wait, we're gonna still go to that island getaway, right?

  Richard Castle : Yes, absolutely.

  Kate Beckett : Okay, good.

• Richard Castle : Now, there are seven ranch hands to fit the bill of "tall, dark, and handsome." But in order to figure out which one was fooling around with Whitney, we have to first determine who of them are married. That means we need to go on a wedding ring search. And these are the possibilities. So, I split their classes up between us.

  Kate Beckett : Whoa. Hold up. "Harmonica for Beginners. Cowboy Saloon." How come you get all the cool activities? And I get Hog-Tying?

  Richard Castle : Because this was my idea. Though it will be a shame that we're spending the first day of our honeymoon apart.

  Kate Beckett : Except we're not. Because this is not our honeymoon.

• Kate Beckett : Try to stay out of trouble while I'm gone, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Where's the fun in that?

• Richard Castle : But you bring up an excellent point. The honeymoon.

  Kate Beckett : Yes, about the exotic island getaway. It... It's gonna have to wait.

  Richard Castle : Why?

  Kate Beckett : Because when you went missing, I used up all of my vacation days looking for you.

  Richard Castle : So, no honeymoon?

  Kate Beckett : Mmm. Not for a while, I'm afraid.

  Richard Castle : So, instead of Mai Tais... we get murder.

• Kate Beckett : Castle, I leave you alone for five minutes and you end up in a showdown?

• Kate Beckett : You just wanna go after the gold.

  Richard Castle : Of course I wanna go after the gold! It's gold!
