Goof: At 6:35 Booth cuffs the man's right hand to the pipe. But moments later the man points at Booth with his right hand. The cuffs were never removed, so he couldn't have pointed with that hand. edit »
Goof: At 35:28 there is a shot of Sully on the ground. Booth's gun is visible as it pops in from the right, as if he were standing there, two or three feet away. But when the shot changes to Booth he is running toward Sully from the street. edit »
Goof: At 14:24 as the camera moves in, the cart in the lower right-hand corner is visibly being pulled out of the shot to make room for the camera. edit »
When Sully sails away, we see that he has named his boat Temperance, after Dr. Brennan. edit »
Goof: Angela tells Dr. Brennan that she has worked every day since they have met, and that Dr. Brennan has never gone on vacation. This is untrue, because instead of going to Darfur, recently she went on vacation to North Carolina to reconnect with her brother. Dr. Brennan talks about it with Booth, on the car ride to the train wreck accident in the episode "The Titan on the Tracks". edit »

Angela: (to Zack and Cam) You know what you people lack? Whimsy. It's a genuine handicap. edit »
(Booth and Brennan at a stakeout inside a car)
Booth: Sully is a nice guy.
Brennan: That sounded condescending.
Booth: I'm just trying to be nice, ok? I'm complimenting the fact that you got a good one this time.
Brennan: Thereby implying I'm incapable of making my own judgments.
Booth: The physicist who couldn't tie his shoes. Oh, the former professor who was jealous of your success. Should I stop?
Brennan: Yes.
Booth: Oh, the guy that you found on the Internet and then turned out to be some kind of recruiter for a cult. Oh, and this is my favorite: a guy who cut off his own brother's head because he thought he was possessed by a witch.
Brennan: You made your point.
Booth: I'm just saying, a guy who wants to take you away from all of this on a sailboat? That's a step up.
Brennan: Condescending. edit »
Brennan: You had a vacation and never left town.
Booth: It wasn't a vacation, it was a suspension.
Brennan: Plus compulsory therapy.
Booth: Hey, dude, don't knock therapy, ok? Dr. Wyatt has helped me realize that there are certain (looks pointedly in her direction) pressures that build up on the job and I need creative ways -
Brennan: We do everything together.
Booth: Of dealing with them.
Brennan: What, what exactly do you have to contend with on the job that I don't?
Booth: You Bones, you don't have to contend with you. edit »
Angela: You want me to take this face and build a skull for it???
Cam: Can you do it?
Angela: No.
Zack: You're always taking skulls and putting on faces - can't you simply reverse the process?
Angela: No.
Cam: Why not?
Angela: Because I am a human being! edit »
Brennan: Rationally...rationally thinking I want to go and I know, I should go but...I can't.
Sully: What you are doing, it's important. But it's not important enough to be your whole life. edit »

Booth: Next thing you know, he will be shipwrecked on some island, talking to a volleyball.

This is an allusion to the film Cast Away (2000) starring Tom Hanks. The character played by Hanks survives a plane crash and lands on a deserted island. His only friend is a volleyball with a face which was outlined by Hanks with his blood. edit »
Camille: Walk seven steps and die

A small allusion to the deadly hand-trick that would cause a man to die within walking seven steps, from the movie "Kill Bill." edit »
Booth: Whoa, what are you saying, she was killed by Wile E. Coyote?

This is an allusion to the Cartoon Character Wile E. Coyote, a coyote that tried various ways to kill the Roadrunner, with anvils, steamrollers, boulders and other various outrageous stunts, usually with a disastrous outcome. edit »
Angela: Oh, alright, leaving The Third Circle of Hell.

In the Third Circle of Hell, in Dante's Inferno, the Gluttonous must lie in mud and endure a rain of filth and excrement, much like where the victim was found. edit »
After the theme song when Brennan walks up to Sully on the boat, she responds to his greeting of, "Hey Dr. Brennan" with, "Agent Sullivan I presume?"
This is an allusion to the famous greeting, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" edit »
