Molly C. Quinn: Alexis Castle

Quotes 

• [Castle is slicing up an apple while angry] 

  Alexis Castle : Okay, Dad, the box said something about a soothing infusion of calming herbs. Anyway, it's a calm tea, and you need to calm down.

  Richard Castle : How am I supposed to calm down? It's Eric Vaughn.

  Alexis Castle : Dad, Beckett is over the moon for you. So give her a little credit, huh? It's no different than when she was protecting Senator Bracken.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, you're right. Oh, except for the fact that when it was *Bracken*, they weren't having a *slumber* party at a fancy hotel. And let's face it, compared to Bracken, Vaughn is like George Clooney.

  Martha Rodgers : [approaching]  Oh, no. Eric Vaughn's way sexier than Clooney.

  [seeing Castle's expression and Alexis shaking her off] 

  Martha Rodgers : What? He is.

  Richard Castle : Yes, and Beckett is *protecting* him at the Fairwyck as we speak.

  Martha Rodgers : Oops.

  Alexis Castle : I was just reminding Dad that Beckett is a professional and totally committed to their relationship.

  Martha Rodgers : Eh... well... not totally committed.

  Richard Castle : What do you mean?

  Martha Rodgers : Well, there isn't a ring on her finger, is there?

  Richard Castle : I...

  Martha Rodgers : Technically, she's not really committed at all. Ta.

  [as Martha leaves, he picks up his coffee mug] 

  Richard Castle : I'm gonna need more of that tea.
