Cam: Why do you know that?
Zack: My knowledge is vast.
Cam: Why did I ask? (edit) Brennan: I bet if you told the agency you're going to identify Colonel Howard to the press they'd be a little more cooperative.
Booth: Yeah. You know, I've been a wonderful influence on you.
Brennan: Actually I learned that move from Cam. (edit) (At the restaurant, Hodgins pushes a small velvet box across the table to Angela.)
Hodgins: I believe that if two people care enough for each other, the rest of the world disappears to them. I feel that when I'm with you. (Angela opens the box to reveal a diamond engagement ring.) I'm prepared to put you ahead of me for the rest of my life. Angela Montenegro, will you marry me? (edit) Booth: You eat yet?
Bones: I said I’d wait…how did you know that James would tell me?
Booth: Well, man loves his wife. May not be strong but, he has a conscience.
Bones: See, I…I can’t tell that stuff.
Booth: And I can’t tell the difference between coral and bone, so, guess we make a great pair. (Rushing) Hey, speaking of marriage, Hodgins is going to propose to Angela tonight.
Bones: Hmm.
Booth: What?
Bones: I guess right now it looks to me like marriage is having someone who’ll slap your enemies and then toss their dead bodies out of airplanes.
Booth: Try not to mention that to Angela. (edit) Hodgins: (Confused after Angela’s refusal) I don’t know whether I should laugh, cry or punch out the sommelier. (edit)
Zack: My knowledge is vast.
Cam: Why did I ask? (edit) Brennan: I bet if you told the agency you're going to identify Colonel Howard to the press they'd be a little more cooperative.

Hodgins: Pluto's no longer a planet. It was demoted.
Pluto was discovered in 1930, but on August 24th, 2006, the International Astronomical Union members' meeting in Prague demoted it to a secondary category of dwarf planet. The new qualifications for a celestial body to qualify as a planet are: 1) It must be in orbit around the Sun, 2) It must be large enough that it takes on a nearly round shape 3) It has cleared its orbit of other objects
Pluto was automatically disqualified because its highly elliptical orbit overlaps with that of Neptune. (edit) Goof: At one point Bones refers to "a thousand RPMs". Any scientist would know that RPM is already a plural. (edit) At the very beginning of the episode there are two cows facing the camera. The cow on the right has some short rope tied around both of its front hooves which you can see when it picks up its left hoof to complete its turn, but it can't because of the rope tied to its other hoof. Presumably they did this to keep the cow facing the correct direction during the shot. (edit) Goof: When Bones says she learned the blackmail trick from Cam, this is wrong. She used the EXACT same trick in the pilot to get Booth to take her in the field when she threatened to tell the press that they found Cleo Eller, and that was long before she knew Cam. (edit)

Cam (to Zack) Igor!
Igor is the usual name of a stock character who is the assistant to a mad scientist. Originally from the 1939 movie Son of Frankenstein. (edit) Booth: Broadsword?! Where do you people come up with this stuff?
This could be an inside joke, considering the many times David Boreanaz used a broadsword in Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (edit) Zack: Little green men?
Hodgins: Grey. They're grey, not green. Grey.
This is an allusion to The X-Files and the long Mulder's quest to convince everyone that aliens are grey (let alone convince them they exist). Alternatively it could be seen as a allusion to Stargate SG-1 where the "little green men" are grey ... and Asgard. (edit) Booth: Broadsword, like King Arthur?
This is an allusion to King Arthur, who is an important figure in the mythology of Great Britain, where he appears as the ideal of kingship both in war and peace. He is the central character in the cycle of legends known as the Matter of Britain. He was said to be born in the 5th century. There is disagreement about whether Arthur, or a model for him, ever actually existed, or whether he is a mythic figure who has been given a historicised setting. (edit) Booth: (sarcastically) Come on, four hits simultaneously with a broadsword? What, was he attacked by the Knights of the Round Table?
This is an allusion to the Knights of the Round Table who were those men awarded the highest order of Chivalry at the Court of King Arthur in the literary cycle The Matter of Britain. The table at which they met was created to have no head or foot, representing the equality of all the members. (edit)
