The Picket Fence Cliche

Post-Fire

“I’d like to see my brother now, please.”

"Any bigger and I can fit Cora in my pockets."

"Why are you mad at Derek all the time?"

"Apparently my pride hasn't had enough yet, and I've got some time to kill."

"Bed's not big enough for the three of us."

"I'm not that terrible, I'm just short."

“Your olfactory senses are astounding.”

"I think she's actually using homework as a coping mechanism."

"Cora's got a friend?"

College Years

“Watch it, Murphy!”

"So what, she just puts like a psychic sock on the telepathic door?"

"I wasn't planning on dying today. When I get to that part of my schedule, I'll give you the heads-up."

"The question mark was a lie."

"Castle knows you, Kate knows you, she'll buck considerably less if it's you, and I know it's someone you can work with."

"Detective, meet your new partner."

"You would have wrinkled the vest, Hal! You don't need to be a complete scruffy nerfherder."

"I'm too young and pretty for turtlenecks."

"Really? Those adoption records you pulled - you just look up records of random abandoned children for your health?"

"Well, no but I mean, we can be like 'oh no, we're totally dating. We’re allowed to be making out like this. Go away' if they try."

“You are such a virgin.”

"And humans totally stab cops too. And punch cops. Never mind if hunters catch wind of you being a wolf and set you up ... trust me, I've run through all the scenarios."

"Yes. Because awkward is better than bad, and if you never ask then ... it doesn't have to change."

"A serial killer blew up my apartment."

"Well, we are excellent company."

"I tried. If Hale asks, I tried, and you are my witness."

"DoyouwanttohavedinnerwithmyfamilyonSaturday?"

"No, just a very dedicated cop who was good at his job, to the point where it was his wife."

"Oh yeah. There's nothing like a triple espresso at two in the morning."

"I walked in and she was bent over a trashcan, sir."

"You think it's easy for me to lose both my wife and son to this in just under a decade?"

"I don't want better. I love you."

"I think my brain is getting worse because I keep hearing you use this word werewolf."

"What can I say? I like to look outside the box."

“This is … crazy. Like … really crazy.”

"And hey... maybe I can grow a mustache... I mean, your brother is kinda hairy... and I suck at facial hair."

"Oh, we don't tell him he's the pack bitch until later?"

"As long as I don't have to save a cheerleader."

"And the bigger they are, the harder they claw."

"... Does Derek turn into the Hulk if he's angry?"

"Oooh, secret case. How very clandestine."

"I'm still not completely certain I won't reach across the table and try to claw her face off."

"Well, the downsides - I'm bossy, territorial and usually on top."

"I feel like meeting with Chris is probably the only shot we have to avoid a bloodbath."

"The word I used was 'vacation'."

"Except my curly fries. I will fight you to the death for them."

"This... isn't what it looks like."

"So... get naked baby. I'm giving you a massage."

"I no longer look like a street thug passing as a decent person."

"At the risk of verging into ... incredibly awkward territory ..."

"Drinking them under the table is how you win."

"Well then, as long as the good citizens of New York behave for most of the night, I think we may just get that breakfast then."

"Castle must be loving it. Is he walking around talking like some kind of noir style detective?"

"I really don't think breaking my psychologist on the basketball court is going to look well in my record."

"Okay. Let's talk about Kate."

"I mean, if there was a murder to happen in the middle of the night, we can't let you get a full night sleep."

"Uh, no. I'm not going to be your official food tester. I love you, Doc, but not that much."

"Despite all evidence to the contrary, he's currently looking for the Big Bad Wolf."

"As far as I know, he intends to become a monk, or something similar."

"Don't worry. I know werewolves can't fly."

"PTSD can be funny that way."

"And what, not give you a reason to text Esposito to check for signs of life?"

"Did you just give me an answer saying that both sides of me are right and basically just not be helpful at all?"

"Well, Morris, I'm touched. My heart is all a flutter."

"No. It's complicated. I was a coyote at the time."

"Sounds about right. Kate Beckett, defender of justice."

"Don't wear a rut in my floor, okay? They cost a fortune to refinish."

"And I think I may need to see C and D - just to be thorough."

"He's given up living as a monk?"

"Wait. There's something I have to tell you."

"I don't think this secret is worth watching my sister claw your face off."

"So I hear you've been trying to figure out my mystery boyfriend."

"You make a very pretty pillow."

"I used to be a damn good detective once. Why do all of you seem to forget that?"

"You're welcome. Just remember me when your sister is trying to rip my head off."

"Good. Cause I'm feeling kinda intimidated right now with fuzzy over there strutting his stuff around my girl."

"I don't want to end up cut in half by a broadsword either."

"I say a lot of things. Not all of them work out in practice."

"Can't feel a thing, doc."

"I don't know what to do."

"Getting picked up from the looney bin after losing your mind by your ex-boyfriend who you dumped because he was losing his mind. Yeah. That's so karma coming back to bite me."

"There we go. You should be worried now, I'm mobile."

"So you're banking on your failing brain beating you to the heart attack?"

"And do you realize how depressing it is to find dead people all the time?"

"I just ... I hate feeling like this."

"Yeah, but what can you do when your pack is an angry bunch of power hungry sociopaths."

"At least it's nice to know you'll at least avenge my death."

"You're the one who unleashed Pandora's Box on the kid, so don't put this on me."

"Don't let the wise granny routine fool you - she's damn scary when she wants to be."

"He said he had excellent hearing. He heard me scream. I'm an idiot."

"So ... what happened then? You get a species transplant?"

"And now I have an awkward boner."

"Well maybe if I didn't have to be in charge all the time, you wouldn't have had to have been. Should have shown a little initiative, sport."

"And hey, if you're going to study chemistry, think about doing it in a hot tub looking at the ocean."

"And I promise I won't just ride on your chemistry coattails and do my share of the work."

"Apparently she's okay with it or they're in some kind of weird werewolf threesome but she is just as bad about this as he is, only instead of using narcotics, she's using orgasms."

"I'm pretty sure they'll be conspiring against us for the rest of our lives."

"See my brother dropped a house on the Wicket Witch of the East - pretty sure I could find a bucket of water to dump on the Wicked Witch of the West."

"You know, when you're admitted to the hospital with a deadly disease, fleeing in the night isn't helpful."

"He's my heart."

"That bitch was lucky I'm too principled to shoot her in the face. No one touches my baby."

"So what, this a trick or a treat?"

"Oh, I plan on it. After I just hug the hell out of her. And maybe kiss her, if she lets me."

"Stiles, tell me the bad news."

"Why don't you call her before you wear a rut in the Sheriff's floors?"

"Well, just so you know, technically it's not really a Christmas present. It comes with a string attached."

"If you two are done talking, they are coming into hearing distance."

"Help, Tyler, we have a wildling in my bed."

"You know, Hal's so needy with my attention, I think I missed a wonderful opportunity to kiss you."

"Good to know. I mean, since engagement rings seem to be falling out of the sky like candy to my best friends and all."

"If you want me to shut Stiles up, I can."

“Alexis! Come get a closer shot of some of the carvings.”

"I know what you're thinking. It's quite the glamourous life I lead."

"I said I was working on it, Garth. I can't just pull information about a chupacabra out of my back pocket."

"Sorry, man. I value my private parts not being shredded, even with a healing factor."

"Crap, I have to work on my silent signals about that better."

"Comedic fodder zombies. You just missed them killing Bill Murray."

"He's got Peter's appetite for knowledge, I trust him, and he's already proven that he can think logically and not emotionally. Plus, he's a clever little shit."

"Oh what is that... I think my alpha is calling me. I totally have to go. I'll skype you Sunday! Love ya buddy."

"Dispensing wisdom while talking about zombies. Yeah, you guys may regret this."

"I'd say we could always have a threesome with her. It helped me with my issues with Tyler."

"Don't ever do that again."

"We have been through an excessive amount of shit, haven't we?"

"Honey, I'm home and I need a shower before you come anywhere near me."

"Yes, we're running away together. We've decided we complete each other and our love cannot be tamed."

"Yeah, well, you're the first person in a long time to out stubborn me, so. Apparently that makes you a keeper."

"Can I eat my cake?"

"So I suppose this is a plea for me to save you from yourself?"

"How can anything be bad when you got a bunch of little puppies worshipping you?"

"And then I remembered an overworked law associate who probably needs to take a break."

"But you know that once that happens, it will be opened up for space aliens, and we might just lose control of Thanksgiving entirely."

“Weighing our options?”

"What do you think I do, exactly? Sit on the edge of his desk all day and distract him with my cleavage?"

"You sure there is enough room in there for me with all that fabric?"

"I said the W word but I can't handle both of them at once and now he's pouting at me."

"You're tiny for a trespasser, but you're still trespassing."

"And you have a first name from a language that doesn't believe in vowels."

"I don't have to wear like, preppy rich kid stuff, right?"

"Disappearing without warning is really inconvenient."

"Maybe this was a bad idea."

"Sorry, it's a what?"

"Weren't you all convinced it was going to be a girl?"

"And what if I want to put pictures on the mantle?"

"As you all know, after this shift, Detective Beckett will be abandoning us for the shiny FBI building not too far from here."

"Don't keep him up too late, Rick."

"I'm looking for Detective Hale?"

"Pick up, pick up, pick up."

"Do you smoke?"

"I can't. I'm in protective custody."

"You're both going to be okay... in fact, better than okay. You are both going to be remarkable."

"I take it you're feeling better?"

"Hey. Give me five more minutes?"

"Having fun?"

"I'm not really a good person to read the mind of. It goes all over the place and oh my god is that Excalibur?"

"I come bearing burgers from that place you like?"

"You seriously did a flash mob?"

"You okay kiddo?"

"Is it okay for him to do that?"

"You need to be careful. If this darach is targeting alphas now, you and Stiles would be two and three."

"I have a cowlick."

"This is fancy."

"I don't think the fridge ever runs out of bacon. It just magically replenishes itself."

"This sucks."

"Hey, sorry am I that late?"

"Home sweet home."

"Hi, Uncle Stiles!"

"You're awake."

"Why do I have to turn right to go left? I don't understand this."

"Not ... wrong exactly. But I do have to talk to you about something."

"So ... I want to try something."

"There's no one around."

"Am I allowed to come in with my eyes open?"

"What's this for?"

“I forgot it could be this quiet.”

“You bloodsuckers are in trouble now.”

“Nervous?”

“Do you think we might be able to stay another week?”

“What do you think?”

“You ready to go?”

“I’ve always done better with wide open spaces.”

“Are you personally offended by the weather?”

“So … I got invited to this dinner. They want me to bring my girlfriend.”

“You’re going to bake lying around like that.”

“Why do you look like you’re dreading something?”

“God, where did you come from?”
