Castle (TV Series)

For Better or Worse (2014)

Molly C. Quinn: Alexis Castle

Quotes 

• Martha Rodgers : Who is Rogan O'Leary?

  Richard Castle : A guy she met freshman year at Stanford.

  Kate Beckett : Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick.

  Alexis Castle : And you married him?

  Kate Beckett : Not really.

  Richard Castle : Except she did. The two of them drove to Vegas, had too much to drink, and thought it would be a riot to take a cab to a drive-thru wedding chapel.

  Martha Rodgers : You didn't.

  Richard Castle : She did.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, I did. But I never thought that it was for real. And I broke up with the guy a couple of weeks later, after I found out he was a compulsive liar, degenerate, and a thief.

  Richard Castle : Yes, but not before you tied the knot. And here I thought you were a one and done kind of girl.

  Martha Rodgers : Does your father know about this?

  Kate Beckett : I really am gonna be sick.

  Richard Castle : [the doorbell buzzes]  And that'll be my lawyer.

• Alexis Castle : We lost our venue? How is that even possible?

  Richard Castle : They had a circus party there tonight, with some first-time fire breathers. Now our rooftop venue does not have a floor.

  Alexis Castle : This is a disaster.

  Richard Castle : I have no place to get married and no one to get married to. I think "disaster" is an understatement.

  Martha Rodgers : So-called disaster is merely opportunity in disguise. We'll just find another place to hold the wedding.

  Richard Castle : Are you kidding? Where are we gonna find a venue in Manhattan that holds 300 people in less than two days?

  Alexis Castle : Ooh! We already have one. Not in Manhattan. We can move the whole party to our house in the Hamptons.

  Richard Castle : [liking the idea]  Yes. Yes! We've held larger parties than this out there.

  Alexis Castle : We rent luxury buses to shuttle our guests and pay the vendors' transportation costs.

  Martha Rodgers : Brilliant! I will call the housekeeper first thing in the morning and have them start getting the place ready.

  Richard Castle : Do you really think we can pull this off?

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, please. I once staged "A Chorus Line" on a subway platform when our company lost its space. I think I can move a wedding. Alexis will help with everything. You just make sure Katherine finds that deadbeat husband of hers.

• [first lines] 

  Martha Rodgers : 297 wedding guests. It's a minor miracle, our final total is below 300.

  Richard Castle : There. I am done. Five hundred autographed copies of "Wild Storm". My pre-wedding signing obligations are finished.

  Alexis Castle : Good. Now sign this.

  Richard Castle : What's this one?

  Alexis Castle : Final payment for the rooftop venue.

  Richard Castle : You mean the perfect venue. A 360-degree view of Manhattan. The stars above us, the world at our feet. It's too bad Beckett didn't want to bungee jump off the side of the building for our big exit. Now, that would have been cool.

  Alexis Castle : The tuxes will be in tomorrow evening. Did you tell Esposito and Ryan?

  Richard Castle : I did. They will be here to try them on and to collect them. You are the most adorable best man a groom could hope for.

  [front door buzzes] 

  Martha Rodgers : Ah, probably the concierge with more gifts.

  [opens door] 

  Martha Rodgers : Ah, hi, Gerard. Put them over there with the others. Thank you.

  Richard Castle : All right. I'm out.

  [walks out of the apartment] 

  Martha Rodgers : Bye.

  Alexis Castle : Dad! Don't forget the forms for the marriage license.

  [Alexis holds out the paperwork; Castle's hand appears from the corridor and snatches it] 

• Kevin Ryan : [getting fitted for their tuxedos, in a suit about three sizes too small]  Um, Alexis? I haven't gained this much daddy weight.

  Alexis Castle : That can't be right. I double-checked the size ten times.

  Javier Esposito : Hey, maybe you finally hit that growth spurt you've been waiting on, bro.
