Kate Beckett : But, I, um, did just quit my job. And... I do have the day off.
Richard Castle : I-I do... too.
Kate Beckett : Really?
Richard Castle : Yes. So what would you, um... like to do today?
Kate Beckett : Um... I don't know, we could read.
Richard Castle : We could watch TV.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, we could get something to eat.
Richard Castle : We could do that, yeah.
[they lean in to kiss and a door closes]
Martha Rodgers : [offscreen] Richard! I'm home!
Richard Castle : Oh, my God.
[hurls them off the bed]
Kate Beckett : Ah!
Richard Castle : [starts to whisper] Oh, God.
Kate Beckett : [also whispering] You said she was at the Hamptons.
Richard Castle : She was in the Hamptons. She's not supposed to be here.
Martha Rodgers : [offscreen] Darling, we need to talk.
Richard Castle : Hide.
Kate Beckett : What?
Richard Castle : Hide.
Kate Beckett : Are you serious?
Richard Castle : Get in the closet.

[Martha has unexpectedly returned from the Hamptons, and Castle ushers Beckett to hide in the closet]
Martha Rodgers : What's going on?
Richard Castle : [covering] I'm... just... making the bed.
Martha Rodgers : Oh.
Richard Castle : What are you doing here?
Martha Rodgers : Well, I wanted to talk to you about your daughter's many fine qualities.
Richard Castle : [spotting Beckett's bra on the floor] Do we have to do this now?
Martha Rodgers : [as she talks, Castle surreptitiously hides the bra with his foot] And to remind you that our Alexis is a paragon of grace and good sense and maturity, although where she got those qualities, I do not know.
Richard Castle : [trying to laugh off the awkwardness of the situation] I would just be so much more comfortable having this conversation with my clothes on.
Martha Rodgers : Oh. Well, yes. We'll meet you in the kitchen.
Richard Castle : We? Alexis is here, too?
[as Martha leaves, a pillow flies at Castle; from the closet, Beckett gives him a look of annoyance and blows her hair out of her face]

[Castle is trying to stall Martha and Alexis so Beckett can sneak out of the loft]
Richard Castle : Alexis, are you hung over?
Martha Rodgers : Well, the graduation festivities got a tad out of hand, and Alexis called me from the party, I drove into town, I picked her up. So please don't get angry, darling.
Richard Castle : Well, why didn't you call me?
Alexis Castle : I tried. You didn't pick up.
Richard Castle : Oh... Right. Then that's on me. That's my bad.
[as Castle talks, Beckett sneaks out of the bedroom; reaching the front door, she realizes she forgot her bra and sneaks back to retrieve it]
Richard Castle : Well, Alexis, as your father, I have to say that I am... deeply disappointed in you, and yet oddly proud.
Alexis Castle : Uh, huh.
[groaning]
Alexis Castle : My head is pounding.
Martha Rodgers : Oh, honey, I'll get you a couple of aspirin.
[Beckett sneaks back out of the bedroom as Martha starts to turn around]
Richard Castle : [grabbing Martha's arm] No, no, don't!
Martha Rodgers : Ah! Ooh.
Richard Castle : No aspirin.
Martha Rodgers : What do you mean? Why not?
[as he continues talking, Beckett finally sneaks out of the apartment]
Richard Castle : It's her first *hangover*. I mean, this is a *milestone*. It's a rite of passage. Don't you want to *experience* this in its, in its fullness? Un-Untrammeled by the, the relief of over-the-counter pain relievers?
Alexis Castle : No.
Richard Castle : No, okay, aspirin it is, sweetheart. I'm sorry.
