They hold each other a little longer
B- Can I ask you one more thing (with a bit of a twinkle).
C- Sure
B- (slowly kneels on the ground and on one knee with a gold ring/band of her own that she produces out of her pocket and is now upright between her fingers). I’ve had this one for a while also! (pause) Richard Alexander/Edgar Rodgers Castle- Will you marry me?
C- (really, really stunned, but smiling)- You always have to lead!
B- Can I ask you something?
C- Anything!
B- No that’s my question- Can I ask you something? Can we agree to talk to one another about anything and everything and not be afraid of one another or scared of what the answer might be. Can we really talk and not hide?
C- Anything?
B- Yeah!
C- That would be perfect!
B- Good!
C- Then. I have to remind you, there is a question out there that you still haven’t answered.
B- (teasing) Oh, you mean the job?
C- No- Oh yeah- what about the job?
B- What job?
C- (smiles) No- the other question, the one beginning with Katharine Houghton Beckett….
B- Oh that question! Pause- Castle- can you just hold me now. Hold me tight!
Castle holds her and makes her feel, safe, secure and warm and everything right. She is nestled on his chest
C- The point is, I’m not perfect, and you’re not perfect, and the moment isn’t perfect, BUT, you and me - we are perfectly imperfect, and we can continue to be perfectly imperfect together.
B- nods
C- Just tell me you love me. I need to hear it.
B- Richard Castle- I love you!
C- Can you say it again- I really like to hear it!
B- I love you!
C- Always?
B- Always!
B- (goes on and almost rambling, emotionally and uncontrollably) I was scared to talk to you, and I would sooner run to DC or anywhere than face losing you, but then you ran out and it became you or the job… Castle- I know I get mean and angry and even ugly. How could you love that?
C- Because- I love you, and the heart wants what the heart wants. Kate, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, if you promise not to tell.
B- (curious) OK
C- I’m not perfect!
B- (laughs through tears, and it is just what she needed at that moment- something Castle has always been good at)
C- I know you think I am
B- (smiling as she gets back some of her composure) Really!
C- (earnestly) Do you love me?
(Pause as Beckett is shocked that Castle doesn’t really know the answer to that question- she is gathering her thoughts as she wants to answer)
B- (very emotionally, and just saying it , and getting it out) I was with you in all those scary places, but I think I was even more scared of you- I was terrified of how much I loved you, and why would you want a damaged detective when you could have anyone. .
C- Oh Kate! (he puts his arms around her, but she doesn’t even respond- she just has to say it all)
B-. I was scared that the more you saw and knew the real me that you would break up with me. And I wanted it so bad it scared me, and I didn’t want to hurt again, I couldn’t hurt again, and I didn’t know if you wanted what I wanted
C- What do you want?
B- You- I want it all- But I don’t want to be scared
C- You don’t have to be
B- (nods and is crying- he nailed it)
C- Kate- I’m not blind. I know you. I think sometimes I know you better than you know yourself. I’ve been here for 5 years and through all kinds of stuff. And I know you enough to know I want you and I love you more than anything, and more and more each day.
B- (looking up, hopefully, but a real question) Really Castle?
C- Really
B- Really? (she needs reassurance)
C- (an emphatic, reassuring) Yes!! (pause) Kate- can I ask you something?
B- Well- let’s not hold back now!
(Castle stops himself as he sees Beckett start to cry and holds her hand)
C- (very sensitively and tenderly) But you don’t believe that do you? You think deep down underneath it all, at the center of the Beckett onion, behind all that bravado, you think- I’ll run- you make me scratch and claw because you’re scared that if I saw the real you, I’d run.
C- Listen Kate- I have stood on a bomb with you and more than once, and I have almost frozen to death with you and drowned with you in the Hudson, and I have never, never been as scared of anything as I am scared right now. Scared that to you I was just this rich, annoying, pathetic writer who failed in two marriages, and scared that you would see right through me, and scared that by asking what I just did that you would just up and run
B- You are such a fool, Castle (but really telling him his insecurity isn’t founded) , but am I really so scary?
C- Yes- No- Yes
B- If I’m so scary why do want to marry me?
C- Because you’re extraordinary and amazing, and we are great partners and we’re awesome together
(Castle stops himself as he sees Beckett start to cry and holds her hand)
C- (very sensitively and tenderly) But you don’t believe that do you? You think deep down underneath it all, at the center of the Beckett onion, behind all that bravado, you think- I’ll run- you make me scratch and claw because you’re scared that if I saw the real you, I’d run.
C- (quickly and reassuringly) And my asking you now, is my telling you you don’t have to. You never have to run. You can be safe- with me- forever. Ya know- a ball and chain is looking really good right now.
B- Really Castle- a ball and chain? (laughing through some tears)
C- Maybe lock you away in my Castle tower!
B- (cute Kate face) A ball and chain? Tower?
C- only metaphorically and allegorically…. Listen Kate- I love you. I know you, and I love you, and I want you. All of you. I want more. I’ll go with you to Washington. I’ll go with you to Bora Bora- which by the way is very lovely this time of year (no angry toucans)- And I’m kneeling here- By the way- can I get up now- I think my knees are locked?
B- (smiling and happy) I don’t know Castle, I kind of like you down there. (pause and serious again) I thought you’d never ask me. (she helps him up)
C- I’m not asking because of the job. This ring I bought last Christmas, but I’ve been looking for the right one ever since our first kiss outside that warehouse 2 years ago.
B- (stunned and confused- big ? face)
C- (slow, deliberate and nervous) I’ve been waiting for the moment when I wouldn’t be too scared to ask you. The job now just made me confront my fear.
B- Fear of what?
C- Fear of you putting one foot out that door, and then following it with the other. That’s what this job is you know. It’s just you putting one foot out the door, so you have an excuse to run.
B- (looks down, pauses, sad, tearing and emotional and looks straight at Castle’s eyes and slowly ) I don’t want to run.
C- ….Will you marry me?
Pause- Shock- Fog
B- (big eyes- shock- what to answer?) WOW Castle- (pause) What took you so long?
C- (stunned and pause- considered answer)- Honestly Kate, I had you half way through Maryland between Beckett and marry
B- (stunned/confused) Huh?
C- (quicker now) You run.
B- What are you talking about Castle? You’re only asking now because of the job?
C- No- Yes- No
B- Which is it Castle?
Worst! Series! Finale! EVER! Yes, real life is not a fairy tale ending, but this is a TV show. Everyone wants a happy ending for the characters they've grown to love. I don't know what the writers were thinking the way they ended the show, they ruined the shows good memories! :(
If you go back a bit, we challenged Tonya to try and write from that perspective, and she came up with a great story line that we finally posted yesterday. I am still trying to commit to that arc which is why I keep asking questions, but I did write something quickly that I thought I’d share. Tonya did see a quick peek, but hasn’t commented. It is very much a work in progress, and I’m not sure it covers all the bases yet, but I am throwing it out there for comments. This is absolutely not a competition (in fact we even toy with the idea of putting out some stuff together), just another approach from a similar viewpoint. There are some similar elements, but (believe it or not) they are more coincidental (though they might have been adapted somewhat). Enough said- Pick it up at the swings:
Under this arc, the absolute worst thing that can happen for Kate is to have Castle running off to London. Despite her relationship destructive behavior and however poorly you think she might have treated Castle, what she needs more than anything is love, security, validation, support and comfort. In this respect Castle’s proposal is bold, brave and courageous and as scary for him as anything he has ever done (hence the root canal look).
However, it recently occurred to me (see the 4 part analysis Kate/Castle/Job/Proposal Tonya found on the site writingonthe castlewalls.tumblr.com) that it is possible that the real nature of Beckett’s insecurity relates to her own feelings of inadequacy and abandonment (much of this has to do with her father running to drink rather than being a father when Kate needed it most- remember, she wears a ring for the life she lost, and a watch for the life she had to save), and a fear that Castle does not want the same future she does- eternal wedded bliss! In this scenario, she is even more in than Castle, and she is scared that he will abandon her, and she, therefore, looks for a place she can run to first (i.e. a DC job), and starts up with all kinds of relationship-destructive and self-fulfilling behavior that would actually trigger a Castle leaving.
Just a quick intro: I asked about the nature of Beckett’s insecurity because I had the feeling that she wasn’t all in with Castle and had commitment issues and general insecurities. If that were the case then I felt that the best arc would be a yes to the job and a no to proposal, and a scenario along the lines of my Search/Redemption/Circus where Beckett crawls back and earns Castle’s love. This resonated with many of you out there, and in many ways I thought it did the trick- given the arc and nature of what Beckett was going through.
brook, castlefan, DianeR and Others. Thanks for responding to my question about Kate's insecurity. I asked for a reason,a nd I'd still love to get more answers, but for now, here goes:
People! Let's get serious end Delena and Stelena. The fact is that we do better than anyone accompany this series and who actually watched the romance of Elena with Stefan Love really can be seen represented by joy, grief we feel that the skin the 1st time of them actually was Epic And we viewers (es ) can feel the emotions in the skin of the couple. On the other hand it was enough that she became a vampire by Damon not mad that she never felt anything for he felt, but it was a sudden thing, honestly know that Damon loves Elena fell in love with him, but honestly none of them moments (and Elena Damon) was something to arouse our emotions. The 1st time these moments and excitement not seen them, have not seen Love but an awakening of a mad passion. Ok .. It's coming season 5 there the two will be together right, but they will be able to maintain this hard-distance relationship. Julie has not given any guarantee that they will actually be together. And when Elena find out that Stefan is gone true? Would be a concern coined? Let's see what rolls in season 5.
Gente! Vamos falar sério acabar com Delena e Stelena. O fato é que nós melhor que ninguém acompanhamos esta Série e quem realmente prestou atenção o romance de Elena com o Stefan o Amor realmente pode ser visto representado por Alegria, sofrimento sentimos isso na pele a 1ª vez deles realmente foi Épica E nós Espectadoras(es) podemos sentir na pele as emoções do casal. Por outro lado bastou ela virar vampira que ela enlouqueceu por Damon não que ela nunca sentiu nada por ele sentiu,mas foi uma coisa repentina, honestamente sei que Damon a Ama, Elena se apaixonou por ele, porém sinceramente nenhum dos momentos deles(Elena e Damon) foi algo de despertar nossas emoções. A 1ª vez deles e os momentos deles não vi emoção, não vi Amor e sim um despertar de uma Paixão louca. Ok... Está vindo a 5ª temporada aí os dois estarão juntos certo, porém será difícil eles conseguirem manter esse relacionamento a distância. A Julie não deu garantia nenhuma que eles ficarão realmente juntos. E quando Elena descobrir que o Stefan verdadeiro sumiu? Será que será uma preocupação de cunhada? Vamos ver o que rola na 5ª temporada.

1.Scene.
Sam and Laffayete were great, the Sookie Eric sister scen was great as well. But ANDY getting waked up by his 4 four year olds hilarious.
2.Jessica and Bill.
I honestly loved their Father Daughter relationship hope they don't make them bang. This decision could bring the Big dead to Jessica. I believe her or Pam are the ones to go.
3.Luna!?
I'm sad she is gone. But the way she went was just rushed and poor.
4. Jason.
How naive can a guy be? It's completly disproprotional to his HOTNESS. Who knows who that grandpa is.
5.Rivalry.
Sookie doesn't want to be normal she needs the thrill the adrenalin. The Gov was pretty lame. doubt that story goes anywhere.
