CASTLE: A little too over the top?
ALEXIS: I think you’ve been writing too long not to know that it’s “I before E, except after C.” Ever heard of spell check?
CASTLE: Yes, of course. She’s got red hair, she’s wise beyond her years, and she’s about to tell her dad what she thinks about the latest chapter of his new book.
ALEXIS: I loved it, especially the part with Nikki and Rook in the aircraft carrier. Awesome.
CASTLE: Stop it! You’re embarrassing me.
ALEXIS: I do have one note though. This new character… the robbery detective?
CASTLE: Schlemming? What about him?

ALEXIS: He’s coming off a bit like a doofus.

ALEXIS: That’s because you always find new ways to procrastinate.Castle 2.23 - “Overkill”
