[Alexis is dejected after being denied admission to Stanford]
Alexis Castle : How do you do it, Dad?
Richard Castle : Do what?
Alexis Castle : Well, that letter that you have framed in your office.
Richard Castle : My first manuscript rejection.
Alexis Castle : Yeah. How can you stand having it there?
Richard Castle : Because it drives me. And I got twenty more of those before Black Pawn ever agreed to publish "In a Hail of Bullets". That letter... that letter reminds me of what I've overcome. Rejection isn't failure.
Alexis Castle : It sure feels like failure.
Richard Castle : No, failure is giving up. Everybody gets rejected. It's how you handle it that determines where you'll end up.
Alexis Castle : My whole life has been about making sure I could get into any college I wanted. What's it about now?
Richard Castle : Give it time. You'll figure it out.
