Castle, Season 4

[When Martha mentions to Castle her plan to invite a movie critic to dinner]

Castle:
You aren't forgetting her blistering review of your performance of Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, are you?

Martha:
That was 1983. I think I'm over it.

Castle:
[Quoting the critic's review] "Martha Rodgers as Maggie the Cat is more of a helpless kitten, mewing and flapping her hands when she doesn't get her way."

Martha:
You memorized it?

Castle:
I couldn't help it! You walked around the apartment quoting it for months. Mother, I'm just saying, maybe it's not a good idea to ask an important favor of someone who's been so…unkind to you in the past.

Martha:
The operative word here is "past." I think I can rise above. Besides, my acting school is more important to me than some old grudge.

Castle:
Well, that's very mature of you, Mother.

Martha:
Thank you. [Begins to walk away]

Castle:
[Quoting again] "If Tennessee Williams knew what crimes Martha Rodgers had committed against this audience in his name, he would have her arrested for assault."

Martha:
[Exhaling] Rising above.
