Castle, Season 2

[after the case is solved Castle and Beckett come down a staircase]

Beckett:
Thank you, Castle, I, uhm, never would have been able to solve this case without your help.

[awkward pause]

Beckett:
Well, uh, good luck on your new book, I know that you'll do it proud.

Castle:
Thanks [reaches out for Beckett] you take care of yourself [they shake hands] and...

Ahah, really? [to Beckett] First day, "Heat Wave" sales through the roof!

Beckett:

Castle:
[to Beckett] Reviews are raves!

Beckett:
Yes, Captain

Castle:
Would I be interested in doing three more "Nikki Heats"?

Beckett:
Yes, I am aware that the mayor is facing a tough re-election this year...

Castle:
I'm sorry, how much?!?

Beckett:
No, I would love to help the department out in every way I could...

Castle:
No, no, forget the other offer, for that kind of money I'll do a dozen "Nikki Heats"!

Beckett:
[flabbergasted] He wants me to what?

Castle:
Oh, well that was kind of a one-time only situation with her and me...

Beckett:
Three books? That would take forever!

Castle:
You already spoke to the mayor?

Beckett:
[to Castle, whispering] I can kill you!

Castle:
[looking flabbergasted]

Beckett:
No, no, no, no sir, I wasn't talking to you! I, uh, no need to thank me sir, I am happy to help his honour out in any way I can... [hanging up]

Castle:
Uh-huh, you know what, I think ... I'm gonna, Paula, I'm gonna ... I'll call you back... [hanging up]

Castle:
[to Beckett] I had nothing to do with that phonecall!

[Beckett's phone ringing]

Beckett:
What? [listening to the phone] OK, I'll be right there! [starting to walk away]

Castle:
[looking confused] Where are you going?

Beckett:
That was Esposito, there's been a murder. [turning around] Are you coming or what?

Castle:
[hastens towards Beckett]

Beckett:
Do you really expect me to believe you had nothing to do with that phonecall?

Castle:
I swear I had nothing to do!

Beckett:
Swear a little harder Castle, I don't believe you!

Castle:
I swear!
