Quotes

add »
Hodgins: (to Booth) Sure, so what do we do, group hug? (edit)
(Booth and Brennan are sitting at the bar after Booth has shot the bomber)
Booth: I told them to tell the press that it was an undercover operation.
Brennan: But it would be a Rosegarden Ceremony. That's an honor, right? I thought you FBI guys liked your medals.
Booth: No pleasure in taking someone's life. Nothing to celebrate.
Brennan: (puts her hand on his forearm) You saved so many people Booth. Don't forget that. (She smiles at him reassuringly and he smiles back)
Booth: Wanna get another drink?
Brennan: Shouldn't you be getting home? Tessa will be worried about you.
Booth: Yeah. I guess I should. (looks at her very earnestly) Thanks for your help, Bones.
Brennan: Sure. (edit)
(In the Hamilton Cultural Center looking for the bomber)
Brennan: If you see him, will you shoot?
Booth: Well, he might not have the bomb.
Brennan: You don't believe that.
Booth: I'm not taking out a target Bones, unless I'm sure.
Brennan: Is that how you make it easier? Calling him a target?
Booth: You know, you really picked an odd time to have that conversation. (edit)
Brennan: This is my lab, I'm a scientist, a doctor.
Booth: So I've heard.
Brennan: Would you be able to do your job when someone's looking over your shoulder all the time?
Booth: You do, ok? I developed a tolerance. (edit)
Zack: We have his detergent brand, cologne, and shampoo. He died a well-groomed man. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: At 18:35 there are people visible entering the restaurant behind Bones, yet when the shot pulls out a second later onto Booth, Bones, and Angela, the people are gone. (edit)
Goof: At the end of the episode there is a close-up of Bones and her head is resting on her hand, but when the shot changes, her hand is down. (edit)
Goof: During their car ride, at around 35:10, just as Booth finishes his line "Just be careful, alright," the view in the rear window changes and suddenly there is a car close by. (edit)
Goof: When Hamid was on the phone with his wife he was speaking fluent Arabic with a Lebanese accent, making it hard for one to believe that he's truly Afghani. (edit)
Goof: After shooting Farid and waiting to get the "all clear," Booth holsters his gun to lean on the railing with both hands. However, in the next shot of him, he is holding the gun as if he had just taken the shot, showing that the reaction shots were shuffled around. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Angela: Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

This is an allusion to a line from the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Angela is saying that maybe Dr. Brennan protesting so strongly about having feelings for Booth is an indication that she does have feelings for him, and that her protesting is a defense mechanism to hide her feelings. (edit)
