Hodgins: (to Booth) Sure, so what do we do, group hug?
-
(Booth and Brennan are sitting at the bar after Booth has shot the bomber)
Booth: I told them to tell the press that it was an undercover operation.
Brennan: But it would be a Rosegarden Ceremony. That's an honor, right? I thought you FBI guys liked your medals.
Booth: No pleasure in taking someone's life. Nothing to celebrate.
Brennan: (puts her hand on his forearm) You saved so many people Booth. Don't forget that. (She smiles at him reassuringly and he smiles back)
Booth: Wanna get another drink?
Brennan: Shouldn't you be getting home? Tessa will be worried about you.
Booth: Yeah. I guess I should. (looks at her very earnestly) Thanks for your help, Bones.
Brennan: Sure.
-
(In the Hamilton Cultural Center looking for the bomber)
Brennan: If you see him, will you shoot?
Booth: Well, he might not have the bomb.
Brennan: You don't believe that.
Booth: I'm not taking out a target Bones, unless I'm sure.
Brennan: Is that how you make it easier? Calling him a target?
Booth: You know, you really picked an odd time to have that conversation.
-
Brennan: This is my lab, I'm a scientist, a doctor.
Booth: So I've heard.
Brennan: Would you be able to do your job when someone's looking over your shoulder all the time?
Booth: You do, ok? I developed a tolerance.
-
Zack: We have his detergent brand, cologne, and shampoo. He died a well-groomed man.
-
(Booth kicks down door)
Booth: (to Bones) If anybody asks, that door was open.
-
Brennan: (frustrated) Uhhh! You are an insufferable...arrogant...man!
Booth: Ooh, so only a woman could know a woman. I thought women wanted us to understand them!
Angela: Not really. A magician never wants to reveal her tricks.
Booth: (to Angela) We're having a private conversation.
Angela: I'm not here.
Brennan: So, you think you know women just because you live with some sexy lawyer? Unbelievable.
Angela: You live with a sexy lawyer?
Booth: She has her own place. Ok?
-
Booth: Ah, come on Bones. Just work with me here, alright? It's what we in the law enforcement call positing a scenario. And don't use the word eschew.
Brennan: What if you and Tessa were going to break up and you didn't want to?
Booth: Which I don't.
Brennan: Well, I'm positing a scenario. Tessa wants to break up and you don't want to, so she poisons you.
Booth: No, no, no.
Brennan: And then just to make sure she blows you up with a bomb.
Booth: Why would Tessa do that?
Brennan: Exactly. Thank you.
Booth: See, cause Tessa and I, that's a bad example.
Brennan: Well you're a couple in love, right?
Booth: Why do you keep bringing up Tessa? I mean why? What's the big deal? Is it so odd for you that I have someone in my life?
Brennan: We were talking about couples. It's a natural segue way.
Booth: Alright, you know, you have to quit using the words segue way and eschew, alright? They sound French.
Brennan: Keep changing the subject. I get it. You're sensitive about you and Tessa.
Booth: Why aren't we talking about you and your boyfriend?
Brennan: (happily) I don't have a boyfriend.
Booth: You just said that as though it's a good thing and you know what? That's a very, very sad comment on your personal life.
Brennan: Look, you're angry again.
-
Brennan: He thinks just because Masruk's wife started working out and had a little makeover, she's having an affair.
Angela: Hmm, and how long were they married?
Booth: Eleven years.
Angela: I'm with him.
Brennan: There's no concrete proof.
Angela: Boobs perkier?
Booth: Mmm hmm.
Brennan: I don't believe this. If you're so sure, then why didn't you confront her?
Angela: Because if she and her boyfriend were involved, she would warn him.
Booth: Very good.
Angela: I'm a constant surprise.
-
Brennan: Isn't the FBI working on that?
Hodgins: Yes. It's just for fun.
Brennan: To see who's better?
Hodgins: Maybe, a little. Yeah.
Brennan: Good luck.
-
Booth: You know that thing where you ask for the strength to change the things that you can and the wisdom to know the difference?
Brennan: Not really.
Booth: Well, it's a good thing.
Brennan: Who do you ask?
Booth: For what?
Brennan: For the strength and the wisdom.
Booth: God.
Brennan: And it works?
Booth: Can we talk about something else?
Brennan: Sure. Tessa?
Booth: Tessa!? No. Why do you want to talk about Tessa?
Brennan: Why? Why? Why not? I'm sorry, we won't talk about Tessa.
Booth: I prefer if we would just stay on point and talk about things that you like to talk about, like dead people. Dead bodies?
Brennan: (upset) Sure, sure. You've killed a lot of people, right? When you were a sniper?
Booth: Maybe we shouldn't talk at all.
Brennan: Right, cause you're angry.
Booth: I'm not angry. Not.
Brennan: (after a pause) We'll find out who killed him, Booth. We've got Hamid's body. You can always count on the dead.
-
Booth: Ok, what is so funny?
Brennan: I just never figured you being in a relationship.
Booth: Why? Do you think something's wrong with me?
Brennan: Not wrong. You just have alpha male attributes usually associated with a solitary existence.
Booth: What me? You're solitary.
Brennan: No no, I'm private, it's different and we weren't talking about me.
Booth: I was.
Brennan: I wasn't. Look, I'm happy for you. Relationships have anthropological meaning. No society can survive if sexual bonds aren't forged between -
Booth: What the hell are you talking about?
-
Agent Gibson: Dr. Brennan I have jurisdiction.
Brennan: Then why don't I destroy my notes and let you guarantee the identity of the remains.
-
Angela: Too bad we can't tell why he did it. Isn't that what we all want to know?
-
Hodgins: Someone seems really defensive about the FBI lately. You realize Booth is just another government stooge.
-
Booth: The vehicle is registered to a Hamid Masruk, head of the American-Arab Friendship League.
Brennan: If you know who it is then why do you need me?
-
Angela: Bottom line, I still think Brennan has a shot with Booth.
Hodgins: But she says she's not interested.
Angela: Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
-
Angela: There is trouble in paradise.
Brennan: I beg your pardon?
Angela: Tessa does not feel secure in that relationship. I think she's threatened by you.
Brennan: You talked to her?
Angela: Well she didn't say much but, even though she has a phenomenal figure, she was chowing down on a fat free muffin, and and she was reading a book about unsolved FBI cases. (scoffs) She's obviously feeling insecure.
Hodgins: She's spying for you?
Brennan: No, no!
Zack: If you have nothing in common, it's difficult to sublimate intense sexual attraction. (pauses) And we hear it's been a while.
Brennan: Okay, stop!
Angela: He is there for the taking, honey.
Booth: (walking up to the others) Okay, I couldn't get his medical records. (Everyone looks at him guiltily.) What?
Brennan: Uh, nothing.
-
Angela: (Referring to Brennan) Please, she's been sleeping alone for months! She has enough pent up sexual energy to power a small mid-western city.
-
Zack: Isn't that the FBI's job?
Hodgins: What, you trust the FBI? You realize those guys are gonna suppress whatever they need to cover their asses!
Zack: (To Brennan) I found a portion of the clavicle.
Hodgins: Are you even listening?
Zack: No.
Hodgins: They have a separate division you know that way their hands are always clean. In 1970…
Brennan: Jack! We're trying to work!
-
Zack: If Smoky here had access to the president why would he attack a café?
Brennan: Smoky?
Zack: It's how I deal with stress.
Hodgins: Targeting everyday places causes panic. People stay home the economy is crippled. It's terrorism 101 man.
-
Angela: (to Booth) So, how many nights a week does "Sexy" sleep over?
-
Booth: We're dealing with someone here who devalues an entire culture; terrorizing people by using God to justify mass murder.
Brennan: You're making it personal. That doesn't help.
Booth: It is personal, Bones. All of us die a little bit on one like this.
-
Booth: Trying to track down the doctor?
Brennan: Don't need him. It's definitely a toxin, but we can't determine what kind.
Zack: Too bad the liver is cooked; that could tell us everything.
Booth: You know, I need subtitles walking in here.
-
Jack: I graduated top of my class, Rhodes scholar, the youngest member inducted into the Academy of Physical Sciences, but she [Bones] still makes me feel like a cretin.
Zack: She apologized to me.
-
Angela: (to Bones) I think he [Booth] likes you. God, if I were you, I'd buy a ticket on that ride.
