Castle, Season 4

Castle:
…But it made me think, all those times when you were little, how you begged me for a dog, and I refused because-

Alexis:
You said you'd be the one who'd wind up having to feed it. And it was hard enough remembering to feed me every day.

Castle:
Yeah… [Blinks in confusion] I don't remember that last part.

Alexis:
It was subtext. [Castle gives her a look] Barely.

Castle:
Anyway, I want to make it up to you. I want to get you a dog. Only question is, what kind of dog do we get? What are we gonna name it? Whose room is it gonna sleep in?

Alexis:
Whoa, Dad, slow down. I'm leaving for college soon, remember? You can't have a dog in your dorm room.

Castle:
Right. I know, I'll just take care of him here, you can come visit him whenever you can.

Alexis:
So…this dog you want to get, you know, for me? This wouldn't be an enticement to come home from college more often, would it?

Castle:
Don't pretend like you're smarter than me. I taught you subtext, young lady.

Alexis:
Don't worry. I'll come back and visit so much you'll be sick of me.

Castle:
Promise?

Alexis:
Yeah. Someone has to leave food out for you once in a while.

Castle:
Speaking of, I'm kind of hungry right now.

Alexis:
Kibbles 'n Bits?

Castle:
Peanut butter on a spoon?

Alexis:
[Laughs] Chinese.

Castle:
I'd like a sandwich. Welcome home.

Alexis:
Yeah.
