Swift Parse.com unable to retrieve object

Question

So I am trying to get a String that is saved within an object from Parse.com. Here is the code that I am using to do so:

var query: PFQuery = PFQuery(className: "Replys")
    query.getObjectInBackgroundWithId("ipmdKB0N1N") {
        (object: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
        if error == nil && object != nil {
            println(object)
            self.replyField.text = object["Replys"]
        } else {
            println(error)
        }
    }

I want to make this string the text of the label called "replyField" but when I try to do that, Xcode gives an error like "Cannot assign value "AnyObject?" to type "String?"" Even when I add as! String, it still gives a similar (though not exactly the same) error. Any ideas why?

You should unwrap optional of object. Such as object!["Replys"] or object?["Replys"]

Like below:

self.replyField.text = object!["Replys"] as! String

or

self.replyField.text = object?["Replys"] as! String

let replysString = object["Replys"] as! NSString
self.replyField.text = replysString as String

I have tried that, but it says that the type is not convertible to string

Is it stored as a string in the database?

Yes, the entire column is designated as a String type
