Booth says that SWAT will meet them at the scene. However, when they arrive at the abandoned gas station all the people have "HRT" emblazoned on the back of their flak jackets. "HRT" Stands for "Hostage Rescue Team". The HRT is a branch of the FBI. edit »

Pickering: Can you tell me what you were doing in Cuba?
Brennan: Only if you told me first.
Pickering: I beg your pardon?
Brennan: I don't know your security clearance.
Pickering: Well, what is your security clearance?
Brennan: You should check with the State Department.
Pickering: I'm from the State Department.
Brennan: Then that should make it easy for you.
Pickering: (stares incredulously) When you were in Cuba, did you meet with a man named Juan Guzman?
(Brennan stares in shock. She holds a finger up, picks up the phone, and dials while Pickering looks on in confusion.)
Brennan: Hello. It's Dr. Brennan from the Jeffersonian. You told me to call you if anyone asked about...you know. Him. (pauses) Someone from the state department named Samantha Pickering. (gives phone to Pickering)
Pickering: Pickering. (pauses) Yes, sir. Yes, I'll wait-I'll wait here. (gives phone back to Brennan, who hangs up)
Brennan: Any more questions?
Pickering: No. Uh, no, in fact, the entire review is suspended. I'm to wait here until someone comes to destroy my notes. edit »
Pickering: Hypothetically, you have a piece of information.
Zack: Secret and meaningful information?
Pickering: Yes. And the security of the country at stake. Could I bribe you to give it to me?
Zack: No.
Pickering: Threaten you?
Zack: No.
Pickering: What if I made a reasonable, rational argument? Very persuasive.
Zack: Merely persuasive?
Pickering: Irrefutable. I make an irrefutable argument as to why you should give me this piece of information. Would you do so?
Zack: Not without checking with Dr. Brennan or Angela first. See what they said. Maybe Agent Booth if he talked to me. He probably wouldn't. I'd check with Dr. Hodgins, but he'd say it was all part of some conspiracy so I mostly only take his advice on women. edit »
Booth: We're looking for an abandoned gas station or a mechanic's shop off the grid. You know, you guys are geniuses.
Zack: How do we find that?
Booth: I work for the FBI, you idiot.
Hodgins: Way to go, Zack. We went from geniuses to idiots in three seconds. edit »
Hodgins: (to Pickering) Okay, okay. So you're telling me that my toe-chewing moron cousin, was appointed to a secret post in a secret part of the government, you can't tell me about, so you compiled a secret dossier on me, but I'm the one who's paranoid. edit »
Zack: I'm getting a degree in Forensic Anthropology. I'm halfway through another in Engineering. What are you afraid I'll do? Build a race of criminal robots, who'll destroy the Earth?
Pickering: Do you have that kind of fantasy often?
Zack: Very often.
Pickering: Does it concern you that such adolescent thoughts are a sign of emotional retardation?
Zack: I have been told. I'm working on it.
Pickering: And can you understand why that concerns us?
Zack: Not really. edit »

Agent Booth: Is there a codeword I can tell Donovan so he will know that you sent me?
Carl Decker: Tell Donovan, "Paladin."

A Paladin is the prototypical "knight in shining armor," a hero of sterling character and courage, who rights wrongs and defends the weak and oppressed. The word comes from the Latin word palatinus ("attached to the palace"). edit »
