Bones

Jared: There is nothing worse than somebody who always thinks they're right, and then they're right. Right?

Booth: Well, since you were last here, Angela ran into her ex-girlfriend, who is now her ex-ex-girlfriend. Clark: Well, the only ex I care about are X-rays.

Brennan: I would like to propose a toast, to my partner, Seeley Booth. Everyone: To Booth! Brennan: I know who he is, but I forget sometimes, because ... because he never shines the light on himself. He shines it on other people. Booth: Yeah, right after I conked 'em on the head with it. Brennan: Anthropology teaches us that the Alpha male is the man wearing the crown, displaying the most colorful plumage, and the shiniest baubles, he stands out from the others. But I now think that anthropology may have it wrong. In working with Booth, I have come to realize that the quiet man -- the invisible man, that man who is always there for friends and family -- that's the real Alpha male. And I promise that my eyes will never be caught by those shiny baubles again. Happy Birthday.

Bones: (to Jared Booth, about Seeley) You took advantage of him. You know, you made me think that he's a loser. And what really makes me angry is that I believed you! I wouldn't blame Booth if he never talked to me again. You're the loser!

(Brennan pulls Booth aside) Booth: Ugh Bones, alright what are we doing? Brennan: Look, come here. Booth: What? Brennan: Just come here for a second. What you're doing for your brother ... isn't fair. Booth: C'mon Bones. Don't get me mad, at you after that great speech alright? Not after I got you shot. Brennan: You didn't get me shot. I got me shot. Booth: I don't want to talk about my brother. Brennan: Would you prefer Sweets do it? (Booth looks over at Sweets, and they make eye contact) Booth: I'm listening. Brennan: Well I forgot all the psychological stuff, but basically, when you rescue somebody all the time, if you keep, getting them out on bail ... Booth: Bail them out Bones, if you bail them out. Brennan: You're thwarting their ability to help themselves. (Booth makes a growl) Now you're angry. Booth: C'mon Bones, you have to admit. Getting a psychological lesson from you is like ... Brennan: Getting an anthropology lesson from you?

Police Instructor: (after a body is flung from an exploding trailer and lands on a car's windshield) We're gonna need uh, um uh ... a fire extinguisher ... and then, maybe some sort of trauma counselor.

Brennan: What did you find? Clark: It's what I didn't find that's interesting. (Clark looks at Brennan, who's dressed up) Clark: (murmurs) You have got to be kidding me. Brennan: What? Clark: Oh nothing, nothing, nothing Dr. Brennan, I just uh didn't know that you were so ... uh ...

Jared Booth: (talking about Seeley) He doesn't like to be visible above the ridge line, so he keeps his head low. Instinct. Me on the other hand, well ... I cannot help but run that ridge. Brennan: Can you give me an example? (Jared kisses Brennan) Jared: I bet ya Seeley never took that risk. Brennan: (smiles) Nope.

Brennan: (walking in, after receiving a phone call from Cam, asking to meet her at the Jeffersonian) Hello. Cam: Dr. Brennan, I ... don't want you to think this is an intervention. Brennan: I, don't know what that means. Sweets: An intervention is when a group of loved ones bands together to help, one of their own make a difficult decision. Cam: Oh! Then ... then it is an intervention. Brennan: (confused) Are you my loved ones?

Brennan: We're all scientists here, right? Well, (points to Sweets) not you. What is your evidence?

Brennan: Are you thinking of leaving lesbianism behind? Angela: I prefer not to be labeled, okay?

Brennan: It is nice to meet you Jarhead. I can see the family resemblance. Your ... facial structure is, even more symmetrical than Booth's. Jared: Is she coming on to me? Booth: No it's just the way she talks.

Brennan: People make stupid, irrational decisions. Booth: They act from the heart sometimes Bones, it's not a crime.

Cam: Can I ... offer you a little insight into Booth's little brother? Clark: Oh God, why am I always standing precisely in the wrong place? Brennan: I didn't have sex with him Cam. Angela: (walking in) Didn't have sex with who? Cam: Jared Booth. Angela: Good. Brennan: Why good? Cam: Because. Because ... Angela: Because he's Booth's little brother, and it would just be a creepy way to have sex with a Booth without having sex with the real Booth. Cam: Kudos, Angela, I would not have had the guts to say that aloud. Brennan: Jared is a real Booth. Cam: Hmmm ... Angela: Jared's Booth-lite. Booth is the real Booth. Brennan: Well what if Booth is Booth-lite?

Brennan: What happened with your RICO bust? Booth: Nothing, why? Have you been talking to Cam? Brennan: No. Did you do something wrong? Booth: What do you mean? Brennan: Well, you didn't get the credit you deserve. What did you do? Booth: Life is not always about credit. Brennan: Well, that is not what you said before. You said life was all about credit, and you're going to Hawaii, and they're going to put you on a coin ... Booth: You know what? Let's just forget about it, okay, Bones? Forget about it. Brennan: Jared warned me that you tend to sabotage yourself. Booth: Jared said that? Brennan: Mhm. He said that you're afraid of success. Booth: Hmm. So basically I'm a loser. Brennan: No. He never said the word loser. Booth: Do you think I'm a loser? Like that guy in there? Some clown in some dumb-ass uniform who basically can't do any better? Is that what you think? Brennan: Well, anthropologically, males tend to rank themselves into a hierarchy. There's no shame in not being at the top of the hierarchy. Booth: You're not answering the question Bones. Answer, my question. (Booth's phone rings)

Booth: Jared, this here is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan, and that, back there (points at Edison) is a squint.

Hodgins: (looking through papers with Angela) So, these are from the notebook found in our victim's windbreaker? Angela: Blueprints, schematics, sketches ... Hodgins: "Automatic toilet scrubber." Huh. Like those little vacuum cleaners that move around on their own. Angela: Things in a toilet bowl should not move.
