Molly C. Quinn: Alexis Castle

Quotes 

• Martha Rodgers : Well! Found out why your books aren't selling. Listen to this review. "His work has become so hackneyed, so cliche, that we wonder if Mr. Castle has anything new to say. It appears the magic, if there ever was any, is long gone."

  [sympathetically hugging him] 

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, darling, I know it's awful. It's awful. I'm sorry. Daggers to the heart.

  Alexis Castle : [looking at the review]  The Syracuse Times-Reader?

  Martha Rodgers : But don't you worry. I am going to write them a piece of my mind. And who cares if they say the magic is gone? Harper Lee only wrote one book. You've written dozens. Of course, hers was literature, but still I...

  [Martha mutters to herself and leaves] 

  Richard Castle : How long do you think it took her to find that review?

  Alexis Castle : Probably all afternoon.

  Richard Castle : Oh, yeah.

• Alexis Castle : I don't get it. If Creason didn't do it, then how does the rug fit in?

  Richard Castle : Killer probably heard about the feud between the two of them and tried to shift suspicion. Which is stupid, because without the rug, it would have just looked like a mugging gone wrong.

  Alexis Castle : So by trying to look smart, they were actually being stupid.

  Richard Castle : I think you just described the human condition.

  Alexis Castle : Speaking of the human condition, how's it going with Detective Beckett?

  Richard Castle : What do you mean?

  Alexis Castle : Oh, come on, Dad. You *are* basing a character off her. And you always say, you have to love your characters.

  Richard Castle : Well, she is a character. But, uh... just research. Nothing more.

  Alexis Castle : [skeptical]  Yeah, I'm sure.

• Alexis Castle : Gina called. She wanted me to remind you about the reading and book signing at Broadway Books tomorrow night.

  Richard Castle : Oh, that was nice of her.

  Alexis Castle : Yeah. And if you don't show, she will...

  [consulting a hand-written note] 

  Alexis Castle : ..."Drip honey on your eyeballs and let loose a hundred fire ants."

• Richard Castle : [answering phone]  Hello?

  Alexis Castle : Hey, Dad, where are you?

  Richard Castle : Where am I supposed to be?

  Alexis Castle : Fire ants? Eyeballs?

  Richard Castle : [remembering his book signing]  Right. Uh... stall for me. I'm on my way.
