I swear i wasn’t going to post this today, but when i came across this conversation while watching the first season of Castle, the TV Series, i knew I had to post it here. You have to read it to find out what prompted me to take up the painful task of writing all the dialogue.
For those who aren’t familiar with the characters of Castle, Castle is the male lead and Alexis is his 15 year old teenage daughter and Martha is his Mum aka Grandmother to Alexis.
Scene : Alexis trying out different dresses for prom.
Alexis : (Sighs) what do you think?
Castle : You look beautiful.
Alexis : Dad you say that about every dress. Don’t you think that this dress makes my skin look pasty?
Castle : Sweetheart, I want you to know, No matter how you think you look, you are perfect exactly the way you are.
Alexis : You’re not helping!.
Martha comes in holding another dress.
Martha : Oh, God no. Hideous!.
Alexis : Thank you! 🙂
Martha : Here, Try this. You know what, Good colour for you. (Sighs)
Alexis goes in to try that other dress.
Castle : What are you doing?
Martha : What?
Castle : You look hideous!. Are you trying to give her body image issues?
Martha : Oh, News flash! She already has body image issues. Said in tunes with being a woman. Every woman in the world, has some part of herself that she absolutely hates. Her hands are too small, her feet is too big, her hair is too straight, too curly, her ears stick out, oh, god, her butt is too flat, nose is too big, and you know, nothing you can say would change how we feel. What men don’t understand is the right clothes, the right shoes, the right make up, just it hides the flaws we think we have and make us look beautiful to ourselves. That’s what make us look beautiful to others. 🙂
Castle : (Long pause and thought later) Used to be, all she need to feel beautiful was a pink tutu and a plastic tiara.
Martha : We spend our whole lives trying to feel that again.
Alexis comes out wearing the other dress and both of them(Dad & Gran) are in awe.
Now, tell me. Did you like the conversation? On any normal day, i would talk endlessly about the conversation and all about how i felt and how much i loved it which obviously is the reason why i badly wanted to share it here so that it doesn’t get lost somewhere in my memory line. But today, I’m not going to do any talking. I just want to feel the beauty and sweetness in the conversation and think how true Martha’s words are. I do think she is right. What do you think? Do you like the conversation especially Martha’s words at the end? How did you feel? Do let me know. 🙂 By the way, i created that cool collage. Cool or not, I had so much time at hand and lots of Castle pics on Google! 🙂
Hope you all are doing great. Happy Friday and good bye for now. 🙂
Love

I love love Castle. I was kind of addicted too. And I love the father daughter relationship. This conversation is so true!
🙂 my love for castle is a really long story. I absolutely love everything about it. Isn’t he too cute and Alexis is just adorable.
Btw, I loved the collage 😃
Aww.. thanq. 🙂 I found this really cool tool online which made it really easy.
First of all: I love ‘Castle’ and yes, I loved this conversation and I am glad you wrote it down. There are often very deep messages and I admire the people how wrote those conversations big time!
🙂 I totally get the Castle love thing. He/It is just too good not to love.
Yepp, very often we come across such conversations and have no time to write it down. But yesterday, i’m glad i had plenty. I wrote the piece for myself to come back and read whenever i want but i am really happy that there are ppl who really liked it and love it more. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and sharing your views.
I remember being castle obsessed when it would play on star world but thanks to the shitty broadcasting schedule, i lost touch…too lazy to torrentz it 😛
Btw i remember this scene! 😀
My love for the series started on Star World. In the game of lazyness and love, my love won it seems, and hence the torrentz. 🙂
Season 1 it is.
Have you watched suits, game of thrones or modern family?!
If not, then you already know how to keep yourself busy for the next few months 😛
🙂 I haven’t watched any of those but had game of thrones downloaded. But i’m sure it will take me months to come to it. I had Castle, Arrow, The Mentalist, Blue Bloods, NCIS, Elementary, criminal minds, Packed to the rafters and some tens of korean shows on the waiting list ahead. 🙂
The mentalist!!!!!! Patrick jane is so freakingawesomecute!!! 😀
Yes, he is. And I have all the seasons downloaded. :p So much to enjoy.
By the way, am I getting into trouble by declaring this public? I hope not! 🙂
Nahi nahi! 😀
The entire non mother tongue english waale countries rely heavily on torrentz and considering the number of them, you my dear are pretty safe! 😀
🙂 haa, thanks for the assurance.
You are really funny you know. Glad I found you on my blog tour today. Aah, I forgot to add that to my list of things. I had the chance to read uninterrupted for a couple of hours which is when I found you. 🙂
😀 i have this urge to maaro an srk dialogue but because of the lack of a proper one – “senorita, bade bade deshon mai, aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hai” 😀
🙂
Big time Castle fan 🙂 and yes I remember this conversation.. 🙂 but in general the castle- alexis conversations are so cute and some are insightful 🙂
🙂 Castle is the epitome of cuteness to me. Yes, i love the duo talking.
