Susan Sullivan: Martha Rodgers

Quotes 

• Martha Rodgers : Did you say 1777 21st Street?

  Richard Castle : Yeah. There was a murder there. Why?

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, I know that address. That's Gemstar Studios. That's there they film "Temptation Lane".

  Richard Castle : The soap opera you used to be on.

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, I hope it's nobody that I know. Maybe I should go with you.

  Richard Castle : [laughs]  It's a crime scene, mother. For trained professionals.

  Martha Rodgers : Richard Castle, you are neither trained nor a professional.

  Richard Castle : [awkward pause]  I'll text you with updates.

• Richard Castle : [Martha has unexpectedly shown up on the "Temptation Lane" set]  What are you doing here?

  Martha Rodgers : Grieving.

  Richard Castle : You didn't even know the victim.

  Martha Rodgers : Darling, a loss for a show like this is a loss for anyone who was ever part of its history. And...

  [whispering] 

  Martha Rodgers : I think I can be of help here. I think I could be your inside source. I can get the scoop on what's really going on here.

  [notices someone in the background] 

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, ho ho. And what better place to start than Lance Hastings.

  Kate Beckett : You know him?

  Martha Rodgers : He was my love interest thirty years ago, on screen. And off. After my character married his character, Joseph Fox, she was kidnapped, buried alive, trapped in a cave with bears, uh... kidnapped again, and held hostage in the sewers of Paris.

  Kate Beckett : How long were you on the show?

  Martha Rodgers : Three weeks.

• [last lines] 

  [Castle walks into his apartment and finds Martha and Lance embracing on the couch] 

  Lance Hastings : After all these years, all the times I could've been holding you in my arms.

  Martha Rodgers : Then let's not waste more time with words, let's just let our lips do the talking.

  Richard Castle : Are you two running lines again?

  Martha Rodgers : [startled]  Oh! Well, no, no! We were just, uh... You know, talking.

  Richard Castle : Oh.

  [Lance kisses Martha's fingers] 

  Richard Castle : *Oh*! Um... I'm gonna, um... I-I'll just... I'll go to the...

  [turns and leaves with a shudder]
