Castle, Season 1

Beckett:
You wanted to see me, sir?

Montgomery:
Yeah. I just got a call from the mayor's office. Apparently, you have a fan.

Beckett:
A fan, sir?

Montgomery:
Rick Castle. Seems he's found the main character for his next set of novels: a tough but savvy female detective.

Beckett:
... I'm flattered?

Montgomery:
Don't be. He says he has to do research.

Beckett:
Oh no.

Montgomery:
Oh yes.

Beckett:
No way.

Montgomery:
Beckett, listen.

Beckett:
Sir, he is like a nine-year-old on a sugar rush, totally incapable of taking anything seriously.

Montgomery:
But he did help solve this case. And when the mayor's happy, the commissioner's happy. And when the commissioner's happy, I'm happy.

Beckett:
How long, sir?

Montgomery:
[motioning to his door] It's up to him.

[Beckett turns to find Castle standing in the doorway, smirking]
