Quotes

add »
(Booth and Brennan talk about catching Carlie's murder)
Brennan: We do this all the time, you know, I should be used to it. It shouldn't bother me.
Booth: No, it should. (looks at her for a while) Was she really gonna teach you how to cook?
Brennan: Yeah. I've always understood the basics of cooking, the physics of it, but Carlie said she was going to show me what it was really about. To her, she said, that it was a way of...well, she said loving, but then, she was prone to hyperbole.
Booth: Well, hey, I mean, that's what family dinners are all about, right? Those are some of my, my best memories. (edit)
Brennan: You still torturing Hodgins?
Angela: He loves it.
Brennan: Just tell him "No." Put him out of his misery.
Angela (laughs lightly): What if I want to say "Yes"?
Brennan: You, get married?
Angela: Sometimes your brain just shuts off because you're in love. (edit)
Cam: (after walking in on Angela and Hodgins making out again) Doesn't marriage destroy sex? Please, Angela, say yes! (edit)
(Cam walks in on Hodgins and Angela kissing)
Cam: Oh good lord, you have to stop mounting each other in the office. (edit)
Booth: You know, you should let me help.
Bones: No, cleaning up, you can do that. (Brings over a hot plate of the famous Macaroni)
Booth: (Sarcastically) Great- (Shocked and giddy) Wow, hee hee, mac and cheese, wow, Bones, this looks fantastic.
Bones: Yeah, really?
Booth: Yeah, I mean, you-you shouldn't have all this work just for me.
Bones: No, I mean, it wasn't that much.
Booth: (Takes a bite) Mmm, this is unbeliebvable.
Bones: You like it?
Booth: I'd like to be alone with it. (They both chuckle)
Bones: She told me I could go with my instincts, so I put in a little fresh ground nutmeg.
Booth: Well, she taught you well. (Really blown away) Thanks Bones.
Bones: (Brushing it off) Yeah, well, you know, you have to eat right?
Booth: Yeah, gotta eat, always gotta eat. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: Different characters refer to Michaelson's character as either being in the Reserves or the National Guard. These are two different entities within the US Army. (edit)
Goof: When Booth is walking away from his conversation with Hodgins about marriage, he is not looking and runs into the edge of the partition. You can see him jolt if you watch closely. (edit)

Allusions

add »
The Waitomo caves, as mentioned by Zack, are in the Waikato region in New Zealand and are a major tourist attraction due to their stalactite and stalagmite displays, as well as their glowworm populations. (edit)
Booth: Okay, what are we missing here?
Cam: The Stooges.

This is an allusion to the Three Stooges, a slapstick comedy trio, who made people laugh by essentially slapping each other and inflicting slight physical pain that was over exaggerated. (edit)
