Susan Sullivan: Martha Rodgers

Quotes 

• [Castle and Alexis have been helping Martha practice lines for awhile] 

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, guys. Come on. Don't you want me to land this role?

  Richard Castle : Of course we do. It's just...

  Alexis Castle : Yeah.

  Martha Rodgers : Look, we are talking about the lead in a Broadway play. This is a potential gold mine. If it's a hit, who knows how long it could run? Then I could take it on the road.

  Alexis Castle : You mean you'd leave us?

  Martha Rodgers : Well, only for nine months of the year. Oh, don't look so sad.

  [tapping Castle with her script] 

  Martha Rodgers : And you, don't look so happy.

  Richard Castle : [his phone rings]  Castle.

  [pause] 

  Richard Castle : I'll be right there.

  [pause] 

  Richard Castle : All right.

  [he hangs up] 

  Richard Castle : Death. Murder. Mayhem. Whole enchilada. Sorry to bail on rehearsal.

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, don't worry. Alexis can read both parts. It's all right if she misses a morning of school, isn't it?

  Alexis Castle : [grabbing Castle's hand and whispers]  Take me with you.

  Richard Castle : [whispers]  To a crime scene?

  Alexis Castle : It'd be educational. Please?

  [Castle glances at Martha, then turns back to Alexis] 

  Richard Castle : Find your own hiding place.

• [last lines] 

  Richard Castle : Color me shocked, but apparently the modeling world isn't all sexy clothes and fun parties. It occurred to me that if Jenna McBoyd had someone looking out for her a little bit, she might still be alive today. So... if Rina needs a friend, she knows she's got one.

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, my son... the big softie. And don't worry, I know you have a... image to protect. Your secret's save with me.
