Quotes

Richard Castle : [sitting down for Christmas dinner] Mother, the glogg is excellent. And...
Martha Rodgers : Thank you.
Richard Castle : ...everything looks excellent. Just like always.
Martha Rodgers : Oh, Richard. Richard, darling, you don't have to look so miserable.
Richard Castle : Oh, no...
Alexis Castle : She's right, Dad. We know how much this tradition means to you, so we both decided to cancel our plans... We're here all night, like always.
Richard Castle : [after a pause] I love you both so much that you would do that for me. But I was wrong about tonight... There's someplace I need to be.
Alexis Castle : Dad, I...
Martha Rodgers : Go... Go, go, go
[Castle stands to up leave; opening the front door, he is surprised to see Beckett]
Richard Castle : I... Uh, I was just coming to see you.
Kate Beckett : I-I was coming to see you.
Richard Castle : What about your shift?
Kate Beckett : I got Karpowski to cover. What about your family tradition?
Richard Castle : Um... I was just thinking it's time for a new tradition.
Kate Beckett : Me, too.
Martha Rodgers : Oh, for god sakes, Richard. Invite the girl in.

Richard Castle : Aha! Found it.
Alexis Castle : Dad, you should toss that. It's getting kind of gross.
Richard Castle : Toss Cookie Angel? No way! You made this for me in first grade with your chubby little hands.
Martha Rodgers : [entering] Darling, could you pick me up an extra bottle of aquavit for our glogg?
Richard Castle : An extra bottle of hundred proof? You're not tampering with our sacred holiday recipe?
Martha Rodgers : No, no, no. I'm just gonna mix an extra large batch to take with me Christmas Eve caroling. Oh, it'll be after our Christmas dinner. You don't mind, do you?
Richard Castle : But it's Christmas Eve. That's when we open the gifts.
Alexis Castle : Mm-Maybe we can open them in the morning?
Richard Castle : [laughs] Morning? Mornings are for stockings.
Martha Rodgers : Well, I-I think, I think what Alexis is trying to say is that she has other plans, too.
Alexis Castle : Just with a couple of friends. It's...
Richard Castle : What friends? What plans? What is happening to our family tradition?
Alexis Castle : Dad, I think you're kind of overreacting.
