    • In this episode, Booth uses a security card to access the forensic area of the lab, but in the next episode he doesn't have one. This is because The Man in the S.U.V. was originally scheduled to air after A Boy in the Tree, not before.
    • Goof: When Booth and Bones are going up the escalator, Booth's mouth does not match up with what he is saying.
    • Goof: Brennan moves her hands from her hips and folds her arms while talking with Mrs. Masruk, but her reflection behind Mrs. Masruk shows her hands still on her hips.
    • Goof: At 18:35 there are people visible entering the restaurant behind Bones, yet when the shot pulls out a second later onto Booth, Bones, and Angela, the people are gone.
    • Goof: At 31:20, Dr. Brennan is congratulating Angela on doing good work, but when she is talking to her she clearly says "Good work An-u-la" instead of "Good work Angela."
    • Goof: During their car ride, at around 35:10, just as Booth finishes his line "Just be careful, alright," the view in the rear window changes and suddenly there is a car close by.
    • Goof: At the end of the episode there is a close-up of Bones and her head is resting on her hand, but when the shot changes, her hand is down.
    • Goof: When Hamid was on the phone with his wife he was speaking fluent Arabic with a Lebanese accent, making it hard for one to believe that he's truly Afghani.
    • Goof: After shooting Farid and waiting to get the "all clear," Booth holsters his gun to lean on the railing with both hands. However, in the next shot of him, he is holding the gun as if he had just taken the shot, showing that the reaction shots were shuffled around.
    • The many car rides done by Booth and Dr. Brennan have very bad continuity. The lighting that is supposed to imitate the sunlight is from the same direction in every car scene.
    • It is somewhat odd that Hamid Masruk was working for the Arab-American Friendship League, since he was Afghani, and therefore not Arab.

    • 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.

    • Angela: Methinks the lady doth protest too much. This is an allusion to a line from the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Angela is saying that maybe Dr. Brennan protesting so strongly about having feelings for Booth is an indication that she does have feelings for him, and that her protesting is a defense mechanism to hide her feelings.
