Quotes 

• [talking about Castle's ex-wife planning to move back to New York] 

  Richard Castle : Well, what do you want me to do, Mother? It's not like I could ban her from New York.

  Martha Rogers : And this whole theater thing, it's ridiculous. You know, she hasn't landed a role in months. Uh-huh. That's right. I made a couple of calls. Why do you think she's moving back to New York? She can't get *arrested* in L.A.!

  Richard Castle : I wonder if she could get arrested in New York. I know people now.

• [about Castle's first ex-wife] 

  Martha Rogers : Why did you marry her, anyway?

  Richard Castle : [in mock wonder]  I don't know, Mother. Maybe she reminded me of you.

• [last lines] 

  Alexis Castle : Okay, Dad, spill.

  Richard Castle : What?

  Alexis Castle : What did you do?

  Richard Castle : Nothing.

  [Alexis and Martha look at him skeptically] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, my business manager called with an excellent investment opportunity... a small, artsy independent feature.

  Martha Rogers : Oh, that's my boy!

  Richard Castle : [chuckles]  She's perfect for the role. I'm doing them a favor, I think.

  [to Alexis] 

  Richard Castle : I hope you don't mind

  Alexis Castle : Raising one parent's hard enough. I don't know what I'd do if I had to raise two.

  Martha Rogers : There wasn't a little part for me in the artsy...

  Richard Castle : No. No.

  Martha Rogers : No. All right.

• Martha Rodgers : And does she *honestly* think she's just gonna show up with a reel of what? "According to Jim" *guest* spots, and push some *real* actor aside?
