21st arrest (video); i'm the one who likes gardenias

[thiswallinside]

You know, just once. Just once I would love it if you'd follow the freakin' rules, Castle. This-- whatever this is, it is supposed to stay out of the office! And now I think I'm hit with this curse and I just-- wanna wring your neck!

[Here, everyone. Have a generous view of Beckett's gardenias. She should be elated, right?]

I'm getting to the end of my rope here, Rick. Last warning. Next time you get a demonstration of my judo, close up and personal.

It's not your risk to take-- you just-- [grrsigh!]

Am I or am I not the one that will end up kidnapped, beaten, duct taped or tied to a chair and tortured for hours? I do believe it's my risk to take.

Not. Helping.

Kate, we're going to have to talk about it at some point.

What? What do you wanna talk about, Castle? How this, my life, is a losing battle? How it's probably only a matter of time before someone comes after you?

Kate, life is a losing battle for all of us. You aren't special in that aspect. I'm a best selling crime author. Occasionally I get packages at my doorway that the fire department has to come get. Narrow minded idiots argue that my books teach criminals how to 'get away' with it. Obviously they've never read my endings. It's only a matter of time before someone comes after me no matter what.

Yeah, it is Castle. But here? It's not just serial killers. It's vampires, giant spiders, deities that kidnap children.

At home, there's room to bend, to be flexible and maybe-- maybe there it'll be this way someday. [SIGH.] Flowers today, and tomorrow the deities decide they don't like the police department anymore and we're fried by giant lasers.

Then all the more reason for me to send you flowers tomorrow and the next day and so on.

Yeah, okay. Whatever, Castle, just. See you when I get back I guess.

I'll be here, Kate.
