Martha Rodgers
- Martha Rodgers: I heard about the shooting on the news. It could have been you. You know that, don't you?
- Richard Castle: Yeah, but I'm fine. It wasn't me.
- Martha Rodgers: Richard, this isn't one of your books. You don't know the ending. You were just lucky yesterday.
- Richard Castle: You're overreacting, mother. Where is this coming from?
- Martha Rodgers: ow the hell can you ask me something like that? Think about how much you love Alexis and that is how much I love you. And don't you *dare* ask me where this is coming from!... You have gotten through most of your life... on your wit and charm and no small amount of talent, but that is the real world out there, and you can't *charm* your way out of a bullet.
- Richard Castle: You think I should quit?
- Martha Rodgers: I think you should be honest with yourself about why you're doing this. You have written twenty-two novels before you met her, and you didn't need to spend every day in a police station in order to finish them.
- Richard Castle: It's not about the books anymore.
