Cam: I just got off the phone with Hodgins, he's knee deep in compost.
Zack: He must be happy.
Cam: Happy as a pig in ... (trying not to be unprofessional) what pigs like to be in.
Zack: A sty? (edit) Hodgins: I put solar panels on my house, compact fluorescents in every socket, and still feel guilty when I use a paper napkin. (edit) (Brennan finishes a call with Cam)
Booth: Big news from the nerd posse? (edit) Booth: Just saying the guy had a point. If pesticides are so bad for us, then how come people live longer now than they did before they, used pesticides?
Brennan: You're oversimplifying an enormously complex issue.
Booth: (laughs) Meaning you don't have a good answer. (edit) (Cam walks into the lab as Hodgins is peering at a sample):
Hodgins: Well, hello, my exotic princess.
Cam: What a charmingly inappropriate greeting, Dr. Hodgins.
Zack: I think he's talking to a bug.
Cam: Well now I feel a bit rejected. (edit)

Goof: Booth is dressed in a suit during the first therapy session (taking place on Saturday night). After the session, when Booth is driving, he is wearing a T-shirt and his fatigue jacket.
(edit)
Though he's been present at various crime scenes throughout the first few seasons, Booth never actually put on a pair of gloves until this episode.
(edit)
The victim in the episode has a rare condition called Sternal Foramen (a congenital oval defect at the lower third of the sternum). This is the second time this condition is featured in a Bones episode, the first episode being "The Woman in the Garden".
(edit)
Zack: What guy in Germany?
Hodgins: He ran a computer ad online, said he was looking for someone to eat.
Hodgins is alluding to a real situation. A man named Armin Meiwes posted ads in online chatrooms, stating that he was looking for "men to slaughter." In March of 2001, a man named Bernd Brandes responded to the ads and was willingly killed and eaten by Meiwes. Meiwes is now serving a life sentence in jail for his crime. (edit)
