Det. Ethan Slaughter : [to Castle] We've got some business to discuss.
Martha Rodgers : What kind of business?
Det. Ethan Slaughter : Ma'am, I don't believe we've had the pleasure.
Martha Rodgers : Don't "ma'am" me, darling, I'm Martha Rodgers. Richard Castle is my son. And the last time you two did business together, he was on anti-anxiety medication for a month.
Richard Castle : [chuckles] She's kidding. Kidder.

Martha Rodgers : How you holding up, kiddo?
Richard Castle : Ohh... This separation thing is getting *really* old.
Martha Rodgers : I know, but... Katherine is at a crossroads. The loss she suffered when she was young has just changed her in ways that she's... just now beginning to realize. Can your mother give you a little unsolicited advice?
Richard Castle : No.
Martha Rodgers : Too bad. I need to work on my material.
Richard Castle : Your material?
Martha Rodgers : Didn't I tell you? I'm writing a book. "Unsolicited Advice" by Martha Rodgers.
Richard Castle : That's... That's actually a great idea.
Martha Rodgers : I know, isn't it? Oh, and your agent loved it, too.
Richard Castle : My agent?
Martha Rodgers : Never you mind that. Just listen. Have faith. Things between you and Katherine have a tendency to just work themselves out. I think it's probably good that she's out of town for a couple of days because a little time apart is just what you need.
