Quotes 

• [while reading the journal of a private investigator from the '40s, Castle find information] 

  Richard Castle : The Blue Butterfly. It's a necklace! That's why Stan Banks was killed... Why am I narrating?

• Joe Flynn : It happened... backstage... right upstairs. They were stealing a moment together which was dangerous because she was Dempsey's girl. As they stared into each other's eyes, Kate's heart quickened.

  Kate Beckett : Did you just say "Kate?" Are you picturing the P.I. as you, and me as the gangster's moll?

  Joe Flynn : What? No. And I didn't say "Kate." I said, "fate." Fate's heart quickened. I was being poetic. God.

• [Castle stops reading from the diary] 

  Kate Beckett : And?

  Richard Castle : And... that's it. That was the last entry in the diary.

  Kate Beckett : What do you mean, that's it? What happened to Joe? What happened to Vera?

  Richard Castle : I don't know.

  Kate Beckett : Well, why would you tell a story when you don't know the ending?

  Richard Castle : If you wanted a beginning and a middle and an end, I have 27 novels you could choose from?

• [last lines] 

  Vera Mulqueen : Tell me you love me, Joe.

  Joe Flynn : Always.

• Vera Mulqueen : But it's not a necklace, Joe. It's a diamond noose. It's getting harder to breathe.

  Joe Flynn : Then we gotta turn that noose into a lifeline.

• [believing the current murder is connected to a murder from the '40s, Castle is reading an old witness statement] 

  Kevin Ryan : What happens next?

  Richard Castle : I don't know. That's the end of the statement.

  Kevin Ryan : But if Sally wasn't Vera's sister, then who was she?

  Richard Castle : Sally set up the P.I. It's a classic film noir twist.

  Kevin Ryan : But why?

  Richard Castle : [excited]  I don't know.

  Kevin Ryan : What was Sally up to?

  Richard Castle : [more excited]  I don't know.

  Kevin Ryan : Do you think she was connected to Dempsey?

  Richard Castle : [even more excited]  I don't know. Isn't this great?

• Vera Mulqueen : [after Dempsey's goons beat up Joe]  Are you hurt?

  Joe Flynn : What, this? It's nothing. You should see what my face did to the other guy's fist.
