[entering the apartment with Meredith after going out to dinner]
Kate Beckett : My God, Meredith, Castle did that? I can't believe that you married him.
Richard Castle : What can't you believe? What? No. What- Don't- Come on. Beckett, there's two sides to that story. That- What did you- What story- What did you tell her?
Meredith : The truth, Richard.
Kate Beckett : Castle, you're not the man that I thought I knew.
Richard Castle : I'm the man you thought you knew. I'm the man you know. I thought you- I'm that- You think- I know you- I'm him.
[Beckett and Meredith start laughing]
Richard Castle : [to Martha] This is so not cool.
-
Meredith : Are you sure it's okay that I'm going to Paris without you?
Alexis Castle : Just because I'm sick, you shouldn't miss it. I want you to go.
Martha Rodgers : We all do.
Richard Castle : What's going on?
Alexis Castle : I-I just feel so guilty that Mom is missing her vacation because I'm sick. So, I told her to enjoy Paris for the both of us.
Richard Castle : Are you sure, Alexis? I mean, your mother...
[Alexis shakes her head no, while Martha, behind Meredith, gestures for him to play along]
Richard Castle : ...should... enjoy her vacation. Have a safe trip, Meredith.

Kate Beckett : Why didn't it work out between you and Rick?... I'm sorry, is that too personal?
Meredith : Oh, no, no, no. It's fine. You know, being married to Richard was... great. Full of romance and excitement. Like a deliciously sweet soufflé. And then one day I realized he knew everything about me. My deepest secrets, my worst pain. Enough to fill a million novels. But I didn't know enough about him to even write a pamphlet.
Kate Beckett : I don't understand.
Meredith : For instance, whenever I asked him about how he felt about never knowing his father, he would smirk. You know the way he smirks? And then he would throw out a quip, and change the subject. Our marriage went one way, and that wasn't enough for me. I mean, soufflés are wonderful, but sooner or later, they always fall.
[Meredith's comment strikes a chord with Beckett]
Meredith : Oh, but that was a long, long time ago. Oh, wh-what, fifteen years, in fact. He's a totally different man now.
-
Richard Castle : Uh, wh-what are you doing here?
Meredith : Alexis! Oh, my poor baby.
Alexis Castle : Aren't you supposed to be in Paris?
Meredith : Not without my daughter. And since you can't go to Paris, I'm bringing Paris to you. French pastries and "Funny Face". We can enjoy them as I nurse you back to health.
Richard Castle : Meredith, how- why-why so much luggage?
[Meredith gives him a coy smile and realization dawns on him]
Richard Castle : Oh.
-
Kate Beckett : [teasing Castle with Meredith] Oh, you're right. He does lean to the left.
Meredith : Told you. Only when he's stressed.
Kate Beckett : I've never even noticed that before.
