Susan Sullivan: Martha Rodgers

Quotes 

• Martha Rodgers : [to Castle]  Oh, Darling, I invited Beckett to the reading tomorrow night. So you two might want to make a date of it.

• [first lines] 

  Martha Rodgers : [dictating, dramatically]  She screamed as the pain ripped through her. And in between each labored breath she thought, "There is no way in hell I'm having this baby on a subway train in the Bronx."

  [finished, goes over to Marcus] 

  Martha Rodgers : Did you get all that?

  Marcus O'Neill : So you actually gave birth to your son on the Metro?

  Richard Castle : No, she didn't. She also didn't run a marathon the week before she had me. Or beat up a mugger while nine months pregnant.

  Martha Rodgers : It's called dramatic license, darling.

  Richard Castle : Actually, it's called wild exaggeration. Dramatic license applies to writing.

• Martha Rodgers : Honey, you know I've always loved younger men. They have so much energy. Enough to keep up with me... Most of the time.

  Richard Castle : I'm gonna... erase that image from my mind with a bottle of scotch.
