Susan Sullivan: Martha Rodgers

Quotes 

• Richard Castle : What are you ladies doing?

  Martha Rodgers : Mmm... Alexis is assisting me in creating a MyFace account.

  Richard Castle : I think you mean...

  Alexis Castle : Save your breath. I've been correcting her all morning.

  Martha Rodgers : Well, it's my face, isn't it? It's not your face or someone else's face. I don't... Well, anyway. My fellow cast members have been raving about what fun it is, what a great networking tool it is, so... here I am.

  Alexis Castle : And now you just need to select a photo for your profile page.

  Martha Rodgers : Okay. Should we go...

  [holds up a young photo] 

  Martha Rodgers : ... dramatic? Or...

  [holds up another young photo] 

  Martha Rodgers : ... commercial? Or...

  [holds up another young photo] 

  Martha Rodgers : ... *sassy*?

  Richard Castle : [chuckles]  Don't you have anything from this century?

  Martha Rodgers : Why, you think the hair's a bit dated?

  Richard Castle : Not exactly what I was getting at.

• [Martha can't decide whether or not to accept an old flame's MySpace friend request] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, Mother, come on! Accept the man's friend request, already.

  Martha Rodgers : Using that old photo was a horrible idea. Why didn't you stop me?

  Richard Castle : Since when have I had the power to stop you from doing anything?

  Martha Rodgers : What will Chet think if he expects 1980s Martha and... pfft, present-day Martha shows up?

  Richard Castle : You tell anyone I said this, and I'll deny it. And I'm only gonna say it once. 1980s Martha was pretty great... But present-day Martha is... pretty spectacular, too.

• [last lines] 

  Martha Rodgers : Don't wait up for me, kids. Mama's on the *prowl*.

  [leaves for her date] 

  Richard Castle : Oh, that poor bastard.

  Alexis Castle : [sighs]  Is insanity inherited?

• Martha Rodgers : Have you looked in the mirror lately? I have two words for you, "hairline" and "receding."

  [Castle grabs the toaster and looks at his reflection] 

  Martha Rodgers : Ha! Made you look.

• [first lines] 

  Martha Rodgers : Well, that was easy. All right! What do we do next?

  Alexis Castle : Set up your profile. Name? Martha Rodgers. Sex? Female. Race?

  Martha Rodgers : Color-blind. Why should I categorize myself? Shades of gray, darling.

  Alexis Castle : Age?

  Martha Rodgers : Ageless. No, better yet, timeless.
