Castle, Season 4

Kate:
What was I supposed to do? Say no?

Castle:
Yes.

Kate:
Why are you so against your mom's play?

Castle:
Because she's rewriting history. My history. Trust me, I lived through it. She's making it sound like it's her own personal fairy tale.

Kate:
Oh, so you don't like it when someone writes their own version of your life. Interesting.

Castle:
Okay, are you referring to the Nikki Heat books? Because this is completely different.

Kate:
How is it different?

Castle:
Well, for one thing, I'm not claiming that what I write is actually true.

Kate:
Well, I don't think she is, either. Come on, Castle, you said so yourself, everyone needs a fairy tale. What's the harm in letting your mom have one of her own?

Castle:
Okay, let's... let's change the subject to something less likely to give me an ulcer.
