Molly C. Quinn: Alexis Castle

Quotes 

• Javier Esposito : You guys okay?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, thanks for rescuing us.

  Hayley Shipton : Yes, because clearly you were helpless without us.

  Richard Castle : How'd you guys even find us?

  Kevin Ryan : Well, we had our best person on it.

  Alexis Castle : [entering]  I can't leave you alone for five minutes.

  Richard Castle : Does this mean no hug?

• [first lines] 

  Richard Castle : Booyay!

  Martha Rodgers : God.

  Richard Castle : Guess who's about to have the best day ever?

  Martha Rodgers : Could it be the fellow who just interrupted us, rather rudely, with "booyah"?

  Alexis Castle : What's going on, dad?

  Richard Castle : I'm sorry. I can't tell you. I'm sworn to secrecy.

  Alexis Castle : Okay.

  [to Martha] 

  Alexis Castle : Anyway, so my psych professor said...

  Martha Rodgers : Yeah.

  Alexis Castle : ...fear is an emotion, which it is, but then I arg...

  Richard Castle : [talking over Alexis]  So you're not even gonna try to pry the secret out of me?

  Martha Rodgers : Darling, we are right in the middle of something here. So if you just wait for a moment, we will give you our full attention, okay?

  [to Alexis] 

  Martha Rodgers : Okay. What is it, darling?

  Alexis Castle : Gram, you know he's just gonna keep pouting until he gets his way. Dad, just tell us your secret.

  Richard Castle : Okay. But only because you insisted.

• Richard Castle : I just got off the phone with the personal assistant of none other than... Stephen King.

  Martha Rodgers : Whoa!

  Richard Castle : He's in town visiting his New York apartment, has called to see if I'm available for a meeting to talk about a, dramatic pause... collaboration.

  Martha Rodgers : Ooh!

  Alexis Castle : Hold on. Isn't he still mad about... the thing?

  Martha Rodgers : What thing?

  Alexis Castle : The baseball thing. See, Stephen King is a huge Red Sox fan and Dad...

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, and your father is a Yankees fan. Oh, no, Richard, what did you do?

  Richard Castle : It was a silly joke.

  Alexis Castle : Mmm...

  Richard Castle : Ah.

  Alexis Castle : ...More like a thinly veiled threat.

  Richard Castle : Tomayto, tomahto. Obviously, it's water under the bridge, because he wants to talk about collaborating on a project. "Richard Castle and Stephen King present." Wish me luck, ladies.

  Martha Rodgers : Darling, if you think you're going to get top billing over Stephen King, you're gonna need more than luck.

• Hayley Shipton : Okay. Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to get so bitchy. It's just that your father blew off that meeting I set up with potential clients.

  Alexis Castle : He had an impromptu get-together this morning with Stephen King. Maybe he's still there.

  Hayley Shipton : Do you have King's number?

  Alexis Castle : No, but his assistant called my dad's cell, which is linked the office computer. Okay. Here's his call log. Got it.

  [calls number] 

  Alexis Castle : It's disconnected. I must have misdialed.

  [tries again] 

  Alexis Castle : Something's wrong.

  Hayley Shipton : [checking her phone]  No. There's a new tweet from Stephen King.

  [reading] 

  Hayley Shipton : "Watch me live on Australia's '7PM Project' in twenty minutes."

  Alexis Castle : If Stephen King is in Australia... where's my dad?

• Hayley Shipton : Alexis, where is your father?

  Alexis Castle : He's not with you?

  Hayley Shipton : If he were, would I be asking you where he is?

  Alexis Castle : Meow.

• Javier Esposito : [answering phone]  Yo.

  Alexis Castle : Dad's missing, and we can't reach Beckett's cell.

  Javier Esposito : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on.

  [puts on speakerphone] 

  Javier Esposito : Beckett's at a forensics conference, Alexis.

  Alexis Castle : No, she never showed.

  Hayley Shipton : Rick was lured into an empty building this morning. I hacked a nearby street camera and got footage of a white van fleeing the scene.

  Javier Esposito : [to Ryan]  Neighbors saw a white van in front of Emma's building.

  Alexis Castle : Who's Emma?

  Kevin Ryan : A murder victim. We think her killer might have been driving a rusty white van.

• Hayley Shipton : You worry a lot about your father.

  Alexis Castle : You would, too, if Richard Castle was your dad. I mean, the guy is abducted, like, what, twice a year? I think that's a tad above the national average.

  Hayley Shipton : Yet he always comes home. Do you know why that is?

  Alexis Castle : Yeah, he's really lucky.

  Hayley Shipton : No. He's really good at what he does.

• [talking about Castle] 

  Alexis Castle : Is he as good as you?

  Hayley Shipton : Good heavens, no! Why would you ask such a thing?
