Kate Beckett:  Before we plan the honeymoon , should n't we set a wedding date first ?
Richard Castle: No . 'Cause the department hasn't even said if you have time off yet . Besides , planning a honeymoon will help us set a date .
Kate Beckett: Okay . I ca n't wait to hear about this .
Richard Castle: Well , you do n't want to go to Thailand during monsoon season , do you ? Or New Zealand in the winter ? No . You decide where you wanna go , the best time to be there , boom . Lobby for those dates .
Kate Beckett: New Zealand ? Castle , are you using our honeymoon as an excuse to go and tour Middle - earth ?
Richard Castle: I 'm game if you are .
Kate Beckett: I was hoping for something more romantic and less ... Hobbit - y .
Richard Castle: Why does everyone always think those _ two _ are mutually exclusive ?
