Susan Sullivan: Martha Rodgers

Quotes 

• Martha Rodgers : Okay, ladies, I have decided that I should change my autograph. So... what do you think?

  Alexis Castle : Gram, that looks exactly like your usual autograph.

  Martha Rodgers : No. No, no, no, no. My *usual* autograph when I am *merely* an actress is like this. Sort of carefree and- and whimsical...

  [she shows them the two autographs; they look exactly the same] 

  Martha Rodgers : ...Whereas the other conveys insight, wisdom. They're completely different. Can't you see that?

  [Alexis and Hayley look at each other and play along] 

  Hayley Shipton : Insight.

  Alexis Castle : Wisdom.

  Alexis Castle : [at the same time as Hayley]  Absolutely. Good job.

  Hayley Shipton : [at the same time as Alexis]  Sure. Look at that.

  Hayley Shipton : Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a business to run. Especially since you-know-who is completely useless.

  Richard Castle : [entering]  I heard that. And if I'm so useless, why would Beckett ask me to consult on a murder? Oh, Mother, new autograph.

  Martha Rodgers : Yeah.

  Richard Castle : Nice. Conveys wisdom, insight. I like it.
