Alexis Castle quotes from Castle

Alexis

You act like this is all about her. But you were standing right next to her; you could have been shot. I could have been shot! You need to grow up, dad. You're a writer, not a cop. Stop pretending.

Alexis

(While giving her graduation speech.)There's a universal truth we all have to face whether we want to or not. Everything eventually ends. As much as I've looked forward to this day, I've always disliked endings. The last day of summer. The final chapter of a great book. Parting ways with a close friend. But endings are inevitable. Leaves fall. You close the book. You say good-bye. Today is one of those days for us. Today we say good-bye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable. We're moving on. But just because we're leaving, and that hurts... There are some people who are so much a part of us they'll be with us no matter what. They are our solid ground, Our North Star, and the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us... always.

[to his daughter Alexis] I just want someone to come up to me and say something new.

Beckett

Mr. Castle?

[turning around holding a pen ready to give an autograph] Where would you like it?

Beckett

[holding badge] Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD. We need to ask you a few questions about a murder that took place earlier tonight.

Alexis

[taking the pen from him] That's new.

Reading the paper? You are going to lose all of your wired teen hyper texting nano gizmo street cred.

Alexis

I'm a rebel. I kick it old school.

Style section. Anything I need to know?

Alexis

The '70s are back.

Hmm. They're like the Highlander, they just won't die.

Do you do drugs?

Alexis

No.

Are you sure? 'Cause you can tell me.

Alexis

Dad, am I lethargic and uncharacteristically irritable?

No.

Alexis

Are my eyes bloodshot for no apparent reason?

No, except when you're sick.

Alexis

Well, that's an apparent reason.

Right.

Alexis

I don't get it. If Creason didn't do it, then how does the rug fit in?

Killer probably heard about the feud between the two of them and tried to shift suspicion, which is stupid, because without the rug, it would've just looked like a mugging gone wrong.

Alexis

So by trying to look smart, they were actually being stupid.

I think you just described the human condition.

Alexis

Hey.

Hey. Finished your homework?

Alexis

Yeah.

You wanna finish mine?

Alexis

Well, that depends. How much you offering to pay me?

Oh, I taught you well.

Alexis

My, dad, nervous for a date?

It's not a date - it's an undercover operation.

Martha

I don't know why you won't tell me where the party is.

Because you'll show up.

Alexis

Take me with you!

To a crime scene?

Alexis

It'd be educational. Please?

Find your own hiding place.

Martha

If it's a hit, who knows how long it could run? Then I could take it on the road.

Alexis

You mean you'd leave us?

Martha

Well, only for nine months of the year. [noticing Alexis' concerned expression] Oh, don't look so sad. [noticing Castle's dreamy expression] And, you, don't look so happy.

Alexis

Hey.

Hey... I was just trying on my Halloween costume.

Alexis

What exactly are you supposed to be?

Space cowboy.

Alexis

Okay. A: there are no cows in space. B: didn't you wear that, like, five years ago?

So?

Alexis

So, don't you think you should move on?

I like it.

If you killed someone, you would tell me, right?

Alexis

Of course. I'd need help hiding the body.

Ah, haha. That's my girl.

Yeah. Sounds pretty. Little creepy, though.

Martha

Very creepy.

Alexis

How's it creepy?

"Death, she grows near"? It’s kind of like Final Destination, but in song form.

Alexis

She doesn't mean "death" death.

Well, what other kinds of death are there?

Alexis

Allegorical, metaphoric, symbolic, spiritual, emotional, sexual –

Okay, okay, that's quite enough. I think I'm paying far too much for her education.

Alexis

I can't believe how many lives were ruined over one woman's need to protect her family's reputation.

You will never have this problem. Between Grams and myself, our family reputation's already in ruins.

Alexis

Mmm. Lucky me.
