Brennan: (after seeing what she thinks is Russ' blood on the floor) Oh my God. Booth!
Booth: What?
Brennan: Russ ...
Booth: All right, just take it easy, all right? We don't know that for sure.
Brennan: (scared) That's too much blood. Nobody could survive tha- that much blood loss. Nobody. (she puts her face on Booth's shoulder and hugs him)
Booth: (surprised) All right, okay. (hugs her back) It's all right.
Brennan: Oh my God.
-
Booth: Call your brother and tell him to get out of the house. (Brennan gets the phone) Tell him to get out, now!
Brennan: Why what's going on?
Booth: Seconds after Caroline got this list, Kirby knew about it.
Brennan: He's not answering, I don't understand, Booth.
Booth: It's not us that Kirby is afraid of, it's your father. The only way to strike at him is to go through you or Russ. Kirby was the one that took a shot at Russ.
Brennan: (with the phone to her ear) No answer.
-
Brennan: It's against the law, us not calling it a murder.
Booth: It wasn't a murder, it was a blood stain.
Brennan: That much blood? It's mur- it's murder.
Booth: We call it in, next thing is we find ourselves under arrest.
Brennan: That had to be Russ's blood.
Booth: You got a sample, alright? We'll check the DNA at the lab. Until then, you know, who's the one that always says "don't jump to conclusions"?
Brennan: Yeah, you're right. Thanks.
-
Russ: Me at work. Me and Amy. This is the day before yesterday. Dad was right. Someone's watching.
Booth: This is worse than watching.
Brennan: What do you mean?
Booth: This is hunting.
Russ: Hunting?
Booth: As in kill. You see these right here? These are ranges. He's picking out a spot from which to shoot at you.
Russ: So what do I do now?
Brennan: The hunter's dead. The hunt is over, right?
-
Brennan: (upset) Columbus shot a man in the head, hung him from a pole, gutted him and set him on fire, and Columbus is our father.
-
Coulter: You know, you're very much like him.
Brennan: I'm, I'm nothing like my father.
Coulter: Black and white. The two of you always saw the world in black and white.
-
Brennan: Why didn't you tell me you had Father Coulter under surveillance?
Booth: It is my job to find your dad and put him in prison.
Brennan: And you don't think I'll help?
Booth: What? He's your father. I really don't think I should have to ask you to help.
Brennan: He abandoned me, Booth, and that's the best thing you can say about him.
Booth: Your father lives by a certain code and part of that code is defending his family by whatever means necessary.
Brennan: You mean killing people and setting their corpses on fire.
Booth: Any means necessary sort of covers that.
Brennan: You respect him?
Booth: I'm just saying in his world he's a very honorable man.
Brennan: That's ridiculous. There's only one world. It's this one.
Booth: Would that be the one world where you're mad at me for trying to catch your father or the other world where you actually want him caught.
Brennan: Neither.
Booth: Well, you gotta pick one.
Brennan: Either. Both.
-
Booth: Bones, I take a stand-up crook over a crooked cop any day of the week.
-
Russ: Tempe, Father Coulter has a message from dad.
Coulter: It's a private message.
Brennan: Come to my office.
(Booth follows them but Father Coulter is about to close the door before Booth has entered the office)
Russ: She's just gonna tell Agent Booth anyway, you might as well let him listen.
-
Max Keenan: (To Booth talking about Brennan) You take care of her!
-
Max Keenan: (To Brennan) Listen to me. If you find somebody that you can trust, you hang on to him. Remember that.
-
Booth: That's my boss's boss's boss.
-
Bones: (Hurt, almost to tears) You talked to Russ but not to me?
Max Keenan: You know, to tell you the truth, you do, you do better without me and Russ does worse.
-
Father Coulter: Well, first I want to tell you that your brother is ... uh ... with his father.
Bones: You mean, with God?
Father Coulter: No, his earthly father, your father.
Bones: Are you certain?
Father Coulter: Saw it with my own eyes.
Bones: (with sudden relief) Uh, Thank God, (quickly clarifying) which I use only as a figure of speech.
-
Booth: (Talking about Russ) I still make him nervous, don't I? (Pulls Bones out of her chair by the arm) Come on let's go.
Bones: What...why do I always feel like you're abducting me? (hits him playfully on the arm)
-
Zack: (discussing his meeting with the dissertation committee) I rectified their erroneous assumptions concerning polyvinyl replication.
Hodgins: You corrected them?
Zack: Only when they were wrong.
-
Zack: I assume that the only way Booth can get his car back would be to solve the case on his own and we would help.
-
Asst. U.S. Attorney Julian: Task force; sniper training; seventies; duck. Got it.
-
Brennan: I wouldn't let anyone else call you a loser, Russ. What makes you think you're allowed?
Russ: I love you too.
-
Hodgins: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Marvin Beckett? Back in the 60's Marvin Beckett was a civil rights activist. He made his bones protesting African-American over representation in the Vietnam war. In '78 he was sent to prison for life.
-
Brennan: (looking around Delaney's apartment, talking to Booth) His place is much better than yours. Ten times better.
Booth: I told you, he left public service. He makes, uh, more money than I.
-
Booth: He's a stoolie.
Brennan: What, Zack?
Booth: No, our victim, ya know? He's a rat, a snitch.
Brennan: What makes you say that?
Booth: His guts got spilled, alright? Ya know, spill your guts.
-
(Zack is defending his thesis in front of Brennan and other board members when Booth walks in.)
Booth: Hey, Bones, come on. We've got a body. Went up like a Roman candle ... hey, Zack! How's it going?
Zack: So far, they don't like me.
Booth: Shocker. (to Brennan) Come on, let's go.
Brennan: What? I'm in the middle of something.
Booth: Well, you know, real life murder and mutilation versus academic clap-trap, no contest, sorry. (to the other board members) No offense.
-
(Booth and Brennan outside the diner. Inside all the squints are celebrating Zack getting hired)
Booth: I'm sorry, that you had to go through it again, watching your family drive off, leaving you behind. I'm sorry.
Brennan: My father is, is-
Booth: He's your dad, and he loves you.
Brennan: (close to tears) You know, I'm just...I'm just one of those people who doesn't get to be in a family.
Booth: Listen, Bones, hey. There's more than one kind of family. (He looks at her with concern, holding her chin. They're having a moment when Zack knocks at the window and signals them to come in) Well, Zack got the job, right?
Brennan: Come in and congratulate him.
Booth: Nah, he's your squints, not my squints.
Brennan: No, Booth! (takes him by the arm and drags him to the door) We are all of us your squints. Do me a favor and pat Zack on the shoulder with an open hand.
-
Dr. Brennan: (Dismissing Russ' warning that they are in danger) I spend half of my time with a sniper trained FBI agent, I feel safe.
-
Booth: Don't drink the Moroccan beer, it tastes like earwax.
-
Dr. Saroyan: This is going to turn out to be some freaky ritualistic thing, isn't it?
Dr. Hodgins: Oh man, I hope so.
-
Dr. Hodgins: (To Booth) Dude, what you call being a conspiracy theorist, I call being well informed.
-
Booth: (After Hodgins has informed him of the letter about Marvin Beckett) Okay, who else knows about this?
Hodgins: Us and you, that's it.
Booth: Let's keep it that way.
Hodgins: I've seen this movie, I get killed on the way home.
Booth: Then don't go home.
Hodgins: (As Booth walks away) You serious?
-
Dr. Hodgins: (To Zack after Dr. Saroyan comments on his "look") Truth hurts dude, learn from it and grow.
-
Asst. U.S. Attorney Julian: Hey, I'm ruining my career, I'm doing it my way, understand!
-
Booth: (talking about Zack) Is he gonna make it?
Brennan: (talking about the corpse in front of them) No he's very dead.
-
Booth: (to Father Coulter) How do you accidentally blow up a train trestle?
-
Cam: Suspended is FBI speak for fired.
-
Cam: (to Zack) You look like a weekend fill-in at a college radio station.
-
Booth: Hey, let's go tell Bones
Cam: I just saw her, she's on her way to see the priest.
Booth: Why?
Cam: He said he had something for her.
Booth: No, she can't go places without me. Not when it's open season on Brennans.
-
Brennan: I wish you wouldn't keep letting me hug you when I get scared.
Booth: Hey, I get scared...I'll hug you. We'll call it even.
-
Asst. U.S. Attorney Julian: Here's your list of snipers from the decade of disco. This time, I'm advising you: duck!
Brennan: Anyone you know?
Booth: Yeah, the ATF rep on the task force was a marine sniper, Robert Kirby.
Brennan: FBI Deputy Director Robert Kirby? That just suspended you?
-
Father Coulter: I spent my whole life trying to turn Max's life to Jesus. He knows exactly one bible verse: Numbers 35:19.
Booth: (reads from a bible) The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
Brennan: What does that mean?
Booth: That's the law of the jungle.
-
Dep. Director Kirby: You're suspended without pay. (shuddering breath from Booth) Gun, ID, security card please.
Booth: Sir, I am entitled to the reading of the charges against me.
Dep. Director Kirby: The charges...against you...are that I was pissed upon from a very great height!
-
Zack: I read a book on body language. Apparently in our culture, when an older male lays an open hand on a younger male, it conveys approval. But if he bumps younger male with a closed fist, it conveys doubt. Dr. Grayson went like this...
(Pats Brennan's shoulder with open hand 3 times)
Zack: Not like this...
(Hits Brennan's shoulder with a fist 3 times)
Zack: Like this...
(Pats Brennan's shoulder with open hand 3 times)
Zack: Not like this...
(Hits Brennan's shoulder with a fist 3 times. Brennan looking annoyed)
Brennan: Dr. Grayson is elderly and arthritic. Perhaps he simply needed help getting to his feet like this...
(Pushes down on Zack's shoulder 3 times)
-
Judge Kemper: You want to exhume the young FBI agent that Marvin Beckett murdered?
Julian: That's correct, your honor.
Judge Kemper: That is a big, noisy mess in the making.
(a knock on the door, Judge Kemper signals for someone to come in)
Booth: Uh, the FBI has credible evidence that the homicide case against Marvin Beckett was uh, manufactured.
(Burridge walks in)
Burridge: Assistant United States attorney Dan Burridge arguing against this writ, Judge Kemper.
Judge Kemper: (confused) On behalf of ... ?
Burridge: ... the FBI.
Judge Kemper: (looking at Booth) I thought you were FBI.
Booth: I am, your honor.
Judge Kemper: I told you, a big, noisy mess.
-
Zack: Dr Grayson touched me with an open hand on the shoulder.
Brennan: You mean inappropriately?
-
Brennan: I need a gun.
Booth: No, you don't. Ya got me, I'm your gun.
