Alexis Castle
- Javier Esposito: You guys okay?
- Kate Beckett: Yeah, thanks for rescuing us.
- Hayley Shipton: Yes, because clearly you were helpless without us.
- Richard Castle: How'd you guys even find us?
- Kevin Ryan: Well, we had our best person on it.
- Alexis Castle: [entering] I can't leave you alone for five minutes.
- Richard Castle: Does this mean no hug?
- [first lines]
- Richard Castle: Booyay!
- Martha Rodgers: God.
- Richard Castle: Guess who's about to have the best day ever?
- Martha Rodgers: Could it be the fellow who just interrupted us, rather rudely, with "booyah"?
- Alexis Castle: What's going on, dad?
- Richard Castle: I'm sorry. I can't tell you. I'm sworn to secrecy.
- Alexis Castle: Okay.
- [to Martha]
- Alexis Castle: Anyway, so my psych professor said...
- Martha Rodgers: Yeah.
- Alexis Castle: ...fear is an emotion, which it is, but then I arg...
- Richard Castle: [talking over Alexis] So you're not even gonna try to pry the secret out of me?
- Martha Rodgers: Darling, we are right in the middle of something here. So if you just wait for a moment, we will give you our full attention, okay?
- [to Alexis]
- Martha Rodgers: Okay. What is it, darling?
- Alexis Castle: Gram, you know he's just gonna keep pouting until he gets his way. Dad, just tell us your secret.
- Richard Castle: Okay. But only because you insisted.
- Richard Castle: I just got off the phone with the personal assistant of none other than... Stephen King.
- Martha Rodgers: Whoa!
- Richard Castle: He's in town visiting his New York apartment, has called to see if I'm available for a meeting to talk about a, dramatic pause... collaboration.
- Martha Rodgers: Ooh!
- Alexis Castle: Hold on. Isn't he still mad about... the thing?
- Martha Rodgers: What thing?
- Alexis Castle: The baseball thing. See, Stephen King is a huge Red Sox fan and Dad...
- Martha Rodgers: Oh, and your father is a Yankees fan. Oh, no, Richard, what did you do?
- Richard Castle: It was a silly joke.
- Alexis Castle: Mmm...
- Richard Castle: Ah.
- Alexis Castle: ...More like a thinly veiled threat.
- Richard Castle: Tomayto, tomahto. Obviously, it's water under the bridge, because he wants to talk about collaborating on a project. "Richard Castle and Stephen King present." Wish me luck, ladies.
- Martha Rodgers: Darling, if you think you're going to get top billing over Stephen King, you're gonna need more than luck.
- Hayley Shipton: Alexis, where is your father?
- Alexis Castle: He's not with you?
- Hayley Shipton: If he were, would I be asking you where he is?
- Alexis Castle: Meow.
- Hayley Shipton: Okay. Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to get so bitchy. It's just that your father blew off that meeting I set up with potential clients.
- Alexis Castle: He had an impromptu get-together this morning with Stephen King. Maybe he's still there.
- Hayley Shipton: Do you have King's number?
- Alexis Castle: No, but his assistant called my dad's cell, which is linked the office computer. Okay. Here's his call log. Got it.
- [calls number]
- Alexis Castle: It's disconnected. I must have misdialed.
- [tries again]
- Alexis Castle: Something's wrong.
- Hayley Shipton: [checking her phone] No. There's a new tweet from Stephen King.
- [reading]
- Hayley Shipton: "Watch me live on Australia's '7PM Project' in twenty minutes."
- Alexis Castle: If Stephen King is in Australia... where's my dad?
- Javier Esposito: [answering phone] Yo.
- Alexis Castle: Dad's missing, and we can't reach Beckett's cell.
- Javier Esposito: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on.
- [puts on speakerphone]
- Javier Esposito: Beckett's at a forensics conference, Alexis.
- Alexis Castle: No, she never showed.
- Hayley Shipton: Rick was lured into an empty building this morning. I hacked a nearby street camera and got footage of a white van fleeing the scene.
- Javier Esposito: [to Ryan] Neighbors saw a white van in front of Emma's building.
- Alexis Castle: Who's Emma?
- Kevin Ryan: A murder victim. We think her killer might have been driving a rusty white van.
- Hayley Shipton: You worry a lot about your father.
- Alexis Castle: You would, too, if Richard Castle was your dad. I mean, the guy is abducted, like, what, twice a year? I think that's a tad above the national average.
- Hayley Shipton: Yet he always comes home. Do you know why that is?
- Alexis Castle: Yeah, he's really lucky.
- Hayley Shipton: No. He's really good at what he does.
- [talking about Castle]
- Alexis Castle: Is he as good as you?
- Hayley Shipton: Good heavens, no! Why would you ask such a thing?
