Molly C. Quinn: Alexis Castle

Quotes 

• [Martha is teaching Alexis to read minds; Castle's phone rings] 

  Alexis Castle : [putting hand to head and concentraing]  That must be Beckett.

  Richard Castle : How did you know?

  Alexis Castle : [dropping her act]  It's after ten... on a weekday. Who else is it gonna be?

  Richard Castle : Oh, she is good.

• Alexis Castle : Doesn't it bother you that you don't know who your dad is?

  Richard Castle : No. Why, does it bother you?

  Alexis Castle : It's like... I have this family tree, and there's a whole *chunk* of it missing. There's a whole part of my history that doesn't even exist. I mean, really, how could Gram not know?

  Richard Castle : My first year of college, I, uh, went to a party, met this girl Alison. In the space of six hours we met, we talked, we danced, we fell in love. Next morning she was gone. I spent a year trying to find her, but I never learned her last name. There's not a week that goes by I don't think about her. Your Gram told me that she loved a lifetime the night she met him.

  Alexis Castle : Don't you feel like you're missing out, not knowing?

  Richard Castle : No! Oh, no, that's the beauty of the mystery. Right now, my father could be an astronaut, a pirate, a humanitarian, winner of the Nobel Prize. I mean, what one man could live up to all that?

• Alexis Castle : Hey, Dad.

  Richard Castle : Hey, Daughter. What are you doing up so late?

  Alexis Castle : Waiting for you.

  Richard Castle : Did I do something wrong?

  Alexis Castle : No. I was just thinking about what you said about your dad. How he could be anything you imagine him to be, an astronaut or a pirate.

  Richard Castle : Whipped cream inventor.

  Alexis Castle : Or whipped cream inventor. But there's one thing he can't be.

  Richard Castle : What's that?

  Alexis Castle : A dad. Just a regular dad. Teaching his son how to ride a bike, or helping him with homework, or having a catch. Makes me sad you didn't get to have those things.

  Richard Castle : Well... I can't miss what I didn't have.

  Alexis Castle : What if you could have it?

  Richard Castle : You have a time machine behind the kitchen counter?

• [first lines] 

  Martha Rodgers : Tell me, Seer... what do I hold in my hand now?

  [blindfolded Alexis puts her hands to her head and concentrates] 

  Alexis Castle : You're holding...

  [long pause] 

  Alexis Castle : A wallet.

  Martha Rodgers : Yes! Incredible! Ten out of ten!

  Richard Castle : What's going on?

  Alexis Castle : [taking off blindfold]  Gram's teaching my how to read minds.

• [last lines] 

  Alexis Castle : What do you say, Son? How about a game of catch with your old man?

  Richard Castle : Yeah, I'd like that.

  Alexis Castle : Good.

  [Alexis goes across the room and prepares to catch the baseball Castle is about to throw] 

  Richard Castle : You ready?

  Alexis Castle : Ready.

  [Castle throws the ball over her head, breaking something off-screen] 

  Richard Castle : Oh.
