Susan Sullivan credited as playing...
Martha Rodgers
- Martha Rodgers: Richard, why do you just dismiss all of my ideas about your ceremony?
- Richard Castle: You mean, like your ideas of bringing in giant ice sculptures of Nikki Heat, or hiring the Vienna Boys' Choir, or having the Blue Angels fly overhead?
- Richard Castle: [on phone with Beckett] Hey, what is taking so long down there? Harold is ready to go and I'm running out of excuses.
- Kate Beckett: This is a total fiasco.
- Richard Castle: A fiasco named Martha Rodgers?
- Kate Beckett: She's turned this into a *huge* production. She's even brought in actors.
- Richard Castle: She what? Would... Would you put her on, please?
- Kate Beckett: Yeah.
- [to Martha]
- Kate Beckett: Uh, Martha? Hey. Castle.
- Martha Rodgers: [taking the phone] Richard?
- Kate Beckett: Yeah.
- Martha Rodgers: Ah. Hi, darling.
- Richard Castle: Actors, mother?
- Martha Rodgers: In light of the abysmal talent pool you have here, yes, I've hired a few actors. And not only that, I have written these scripts so that everybody knows exactly what they're playing.
- Richard Castle: We don't need scripts! And we don't need actors to play cops. We have actual cops!
- Martha Rodgers: That is such an ignorant thing to say and an insult to the craft of acting.
- Richard Castle: Mother... all we need is to walk Harold through the precinct and into interrogation.
- Martha Rodgers: Richard, I am trying to create an authentic experience here so that the two of you can crack this case. Now, is that so wrong?
