Quotes 

• Richard Castle : My little girl is going to college.

  Martha Rodgers : It seems like just yesterday you were checking under the bed every night, promising her that monsters aren't real.

  Richard Castle : Well, I lied. Monsters are real. They're the boys in her freshman dorm.

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, speaking of which, before Alexis leaves, don't you think you should have the, uh, "talk" with her?

  Richard Castle : You mean the sex talk? Mother, I covered that ages ago. I learned so much.

• Martha Rodgers : [after dropping Alexis off at college]  Darling, are you crying?

  Richard Castle : No, it's allergies. I... pollen count is high.

  Martha Rodgers : Pollen count's gotten to me, too.

  [they hug, letting their emotions out] 

  Richard Castle : Right?

  Martha Rodgers : I know.

• [last lines] 

  Martha Rodgers : Alexis' moving out got me to thinking. And after many hours of soul searching, I have made a decision.

  Richard Castle : Have you now?

  Martha Rodgers : Yes. I have decided, out of the goodness of my heart, that I will continue to live here...

  Richard Castle : Rent free.

  Martha Rodgers : Please don't interrupt. I will continue to live here so that you, Richard, will never, ever be alone.

  Richard Castle : You'd... do that for me, mother?

  Martha Rodgers : It's a parent's sacrifice.

• [first lines] 

  Alexis Castle : Okay, one last box and I'm ready for college.

  Richard Castle : Sweetheart, this is a lot of stuff. You do realize you don't have to take all of this stuff with you to your dorm room. Like this, what is this?

  Alexis Castle : Remember? I wanted to ride my bike without training wheels. Like the big kids, and I did. So you got me my very own gold medal.

  Richard Castle : Oh. Well, honey, that is, that's a very sweet memory, but... your dorm room is only so big. You're gonna have to leave some of this stuff behind.

  Martha Rodgers : [entering]  Don't listen to him, darling. Everybody needs their stuff.

  Alexis Castle : See?
