Need to Know (2013)

Susan Sullivan: Martha Rodgers

Quotes 

• Martha Rodgers : [Castle is, once again, irked at Pi]  Darling, couldn't you just pretend to appreciate Pi's efforts?

  Richard Castle : What efforts? Half the time, I don't know if I'm smelling our new compost bin or my daughter's rotting ambition.

• [sees a news report on the television] 

  Martha Rodgers : Is that Charlie Reynolds? Turn that up.

  Reporter : [on tv]  Police are currently investigating. Reynolds was an actor, best known as the star of the '90s comedy, "2 Cool for School", where he played lovable nerd, Dewey Hancock.

  [news report continues in background] 

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, how awful. I did a guest spot on that show.

  Richard Castle : It was a simpler time, when Dewey's catchphrase, "Hubba-hubba," passed as sparkling dialogue.

  Reporter : [on tv]  In a bizarre twist, the body was found hanging from the hook of a construction crane.

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, gruesome.

  Richard Castle : Yes... If by "gruesome," you mean "awesome." Look!

  [points to tv] 

  Richard Castle : That's Esposito and Ryan. This is *exactly* what I need.

  [dials phone] 

  Richard Castle : Former child star... *literally* getting the hook... Hoisted on his own petard. Hung out to dry.

  [chuckles] 

  Martha Rodgers : Okay, I get it.

  [on the television screen, Esposito glances at his phone and ignores the call] 

  Richard Castle : Did you see that? He just declined my call.

  Martha Rodgers : Looks like Charlie isn't the only one hung out to dry.
