Bones

Angela: (to Zack and Cam) You know what you people lack? Whimsy. It's a genuine handicap.

(Booth and Brennan at a stakeout inside a car) Booth: Sully is a nice guy. Brennan: That sounded condescending. Booth: I'm just trying to be nice, ok? I'm complimenting the fact that you got a good one this time. Brennan: Thereby implying I'm incapable of making my own judgments. Booth: The physicist who couldn't tie his shoes. Oh, the former professor who was jealous of your success. Should I stop? Brennan: Yes. Booth: Oh, the guy that you found on the Internet and then turned out to be some kind of recruiter for a cult. Oh, and this is my favorite: a guy who cut off his own brother's head because he thought he was possessed by a witch. Brennan: You made your point. Booth: I'm just saying, a guy who wants to take you away from all of this on a sailboat? That's a step up. Brennan: Condescending.

Brennan: You had a vacation and never left town. Booth: It wasn't a vacation, it was a suspension. Brennan: Plus compulsory therapy. Booth: Hey, dude, don't knock therapy, ok? Dr. Wyatt has helped me realize that there are certain (looks pointedly in her direction) pressures that build up on the job and I need creative ways - Brennan: We do everything together. Booth: Of dealing with them. Brennan: What, what exactly do you have to contend with on the job that I don't? Booth: You Bones, you don't have to contend with you.

Angela: You want me to take this face and build a skull for it??? Cam: Can you do it? Angela: No. Zack: You're always taking skulls and putting on faces - can't you simply reverse the process? Angela: No. Cam: Why not? Angela: Because I am a human being!

Brennan: Rationally...rationally thinking I want to go and I know, I should go but...I can't. Sully: What you are doing, it's important. But it's not important enough to be your whole life.

Bones: Sully bought that boat. Booth: (Sarcastically) Yeah, hah, next thing you know he'll be shipwrecked on some island talking to a volleyball. Bones: He's leaving for the Caribbean. Booth: Really? (Sympathetic) Look, I'm-I'm sorry Bones, I know the two of you were kinda hittin' it off. Bones: He wants me to go with him. Booth: (Shocked and uncomfortable) Oh...um..yeah. Bones: He says I should take a year off, a sabbatical, he says it would be fun. Booth: (Rushes) Yeah, it would be. Bones: (Confused) But you just said he'd be shipwrecked with a volleyball. Booth: Well, he's got you he doesn't need the volleyball. Bones: You think I should go? Booth: (Takes a long pause and then looks at her) Yeah, yeah, you know, what's one year out of your life? You know, a person's gotta live wide, this is kinda narrow.

Angela: Do you want me to bring you up to date? Brennan: No, (Upset) I want you to tell me what to do. Angela: About what? Brennan: Sully wants me to run off with him. Angela: Go. Brennan: For a year. Angela: (Insistent) Go. Brennan: He wants to run a charter boat around the Caribbean. Angela: (Pleading) Go. Brennan: He says I should take a sabbatical. Angela: (Insistent again) Go. What is the downside? He's a great guy. This is a great idea. Brennan: (Upset) I'd miss you guys. Angela: (Dismissive) Oh, we'll meet you in Barbados. (Determined) Look, you have been working every day since I met you. It's time to let another part of yourself out into the sun, (Slyly) with a bare-chested man and a tropical breeze. (Brennan laughs)

Zack: Positive ID on both sets of remains. William Chang and Li Ling Fan. Angela: Wow. They kinda go together. Cam: Because they're deceased? Angela: Yeah, but more than that. They're exactly the same level of hotness. Cam: Which is zero, because they're skeletons.

Brennan: The funeral home was in on it. They wanted the body to decompose as quickly as possible. Hodgins: Full service mortuary. They perform funerals and weddings for dead people.

Booth: Alright Sully look, I want you to look into buying one of those ancient weapons, Leaping Donkey? Bones: Flying Horse. Booth: Yeah whatever, see if Harper surfaces long enough to, err, to make the sale.

Zack: Essentially all we have to do is refill the empty head. (Hodgins uncovers a glass cubical with the skull-less head attached inside to a tube) Hodgins: Like a balloon. Zack: Which is literally what we did. Cam: Oh no, you did not. Zack: Put a bladder inside the head, and inflate it very slowly. (At this point the skull-less head inflates as Hodgins turns on the air, Cam watches openmouthed) Cam: This is… It's… absolutely… Hodgins: Brilliant? Cam: Useless! You need the exact shape of a skull to get a likeness, not just a… this is– turn that off! Angela: Oh my God!! You guys are perverse. Cam: Dr Brennan was right, bone people should only do bone things.

Jon Chen: It's an ancient belief in rural China, that if a young unmarried male dies, his family should rebury his bones with the bones of a woman. Brennan: A-a Bride for the afterlife. Sully: Like a Bury-age or a Marry-ial. Booth: Dead-ing? (Sully and Booth chuckle, and Bones cracks a smile)

Angela: So, a boat, hmm? Booth: Who Sully, yeah, (sarcastically) last month he wanted to live in a treehouse. Angela: Mmm, he's like me. Booth: Yeah ... (skeptically) I don't see that. Angela: Well, he's not really made for all this murder and corpses and empty eye sockets crap. He's a romantic. Booth: (slightly hurt) Unlike me? Angela: No, you're a romantic of a narrow kind. You live to catch bad guys. Sully lives wide. (Angela's computer beeps) Hey, I got a hit off the homeland security database. Booth: (he leans over to read the monitor) Li Ling Fan. Angela: Yeah, she's here on a fiance visa from mainland China. Booth: Well, the fingerprints, it's a match. Print this up for me. Angela: Yeah, this is the victim. Booth: Okay, I'll go, uh, visit her fiance tomorrow. And ... I live wide too. Heh, far and wide. Alright? (as he struts out of the room with the paper) There's nothing wider than Seeley Booth. Angela: (to herself) Okay then, my bad.

Zack: (to Cam) I think I have an idea for the face, if you can remove the head from the rest of the skin sack. Angela: Please, God, I am not out of earshot yet!

Angela: Leaving the third circle of Hell, but before I go, I think she's Asian.

Brennan: Okay, I want the whole kip and canoodle transported to the Jeffersonian. Booth: (look of disbelief) Kit and caboodle. Brennan: Whatever.

Brennan: I'm supposed to be on vacation. You know.. spending time with Sully... Booth: Oh, that's a good lesson for Sully then, huh? Next time he actually takes you away on vacation you should go away and, ya know, leave town.

Booth: You know, in therapy I learned that uh, superlatives like perfect are uh, meaningless. Bones: Not in science, a perfect number is a number whose divisors add up to itself, as in one plus two plus three equals six. Booth: Well, in therapy I learned that definitive statements are by their very nature, wrong. Bones: Isn't the statement "definitive statements are by their very nature wrong", definitive, and thus wrong? Booth: (Aghast) You hate psychology! Bones: You haven't said anything to change my mind. Booth: (Frustrated) You know this is why, okay, sometimes I do things like shoot up an ice cream truck. Bones: (Sarcastically) Well, it's a good thing you have therapy. Booth: (Tense Pause) You know, we talked about you in therapy. Bones: (Suddenly interested) You did? Booth: (Still very tense) Um-hmm. Bones: What did you say? Booth: Well, you know, since it was uh, my therapy, I don't have to share the details. (Smugly) Sorry!

(at the docks after Sully leaves in his boat) Bones: What are you doing here? Booth: I am waving good-bye. (does a little wave) See? Bones: What do you want? Booth: Breakfast. Bones: I am not hungry. Booth: Oh, come on, huh? (puts his arm around Bones and walks with her) What are you gonna vomit when you come across one of those horrific cases? Bones: I don't vomit. Booth: Give it time Bones, okay? Give it time. Everything happens eventually. Bones: Everything? Booth: All the good stuff. And when you think it never happens, it happens. Just got to be ready for it.

Hodgins: The size of the (Brennan walks away) scum colony indicates 8 days submersion… Dr. Brennan, have I offended you in some way? Brennan: (stops at the door) Dr. Saroyan said, "no bones". So, you know what that means? I'm back on vacation. No bones, no 'Bones'. Uh… I was the second bones. Camille: It's very witty.
