Hodgins: I have got an absolutely fascinating clue to tell you.
Angela: (running up) Hey, hey. Uh, you have to leave town.
Hodgins: What? Why?
Booth: No, fascinating clue first.
Hodgins: The ... pearl we found in the victim wasn't a pearl. W- why do I have to leave town?
Angela: My father is here.
Cam: What was it, then?
Hodgins: Carbonaceous chondrites. It's what meteorites are made of -- your father blames me for our breakup?
Angela: Well, he has sort of a blind spot when it comes to me so, I think you should just get out of town until I can call him off.
Booth: Stop. Okay, stop it. Dead guy, what about the dead guy?
Cam: It's obvious. He was frostbitten while climbing Everest, then struck by a meteor, then dumped into a vacant lot in two garbage bags and eaten by crows.
Booth: (sarcastically) Right, obvious. That's so obvious.
-
Booth: I didn't mean to call you creepy.
Brennan: You said I have a creepy mode.
Booth: I apologize. Okay look, I wasn't in my element.
Brennan: Well, every element is your element.
Booth: No, that is not true. Okay, listen. We just gotta stop hanging out with geniuses, because you're going to figure that I'm really stupid.
Brennan: What, don't worry about that. I figured out along time ago how stupid you are.
Booth: Hmm.
Brennan: What I just said ... is true, and yet it ... really sounded wrong. What I should say it that I don't care how stupid you are.
Brennan: It's not any better?
Booth: No. No. Not at all.
-
Cam: What did I tell you?
Hodgins: That we aren't allowed in the same room without supervision.
Cam: Why?
Nigel-Murray: Because we were ... stupid enough to fire a cannon indoors.
-
Hodgins: (about Angela's father) I am not scared of him.
Sweets: Okay. Okay. You know that whole, that whole "sell your soul at the crossroads" thing? I'm buying it. You gotta run for it man!
Angela: I told you so. (she leaves)
Sweets: Yeah. You know what? I secretly had a thing for Angela, now it's gone! Like- like wiped from the memory banks.
-
Brennan: So, you just think that if two people care about each other, they leave metaphorical marks which should be allowed to fade naturally?
Booth: You heard me but you just didn't understand me.
Brennan: I wonder that about you all the time.
-
Hodgins: (sarcastically) To eternity, to glory, to the future.
Bones: You disapprove of the Collar Institute?
Hodgins: Up and forward are only two directions. Science should look in all directions. You taught me that.
Bones: I did?
Hodgins: Every day.
Bones: (visibly pleased) Thank you.
-
Sweets: I looked through over 800 threats made against Dr. Diane Sidman. You, Dr. Mullins, are the only person I thought merited questioning.
Dr. Mullins: Using psychology?
Sweets: That's correct.
Dr. Mullins: (smirking) You might as well have picked my name from a hat.
Bones: Normally I'd agree, but your disapproval of Dr. Sidman's work makes me wonder if you're a religious man.
Dr. Mullins: No. Like most reasonable human beings, I'm an agnostic.
Sweets: You have a doctorate in physics, from Princeton, right? Yet, you work as a welder?
Dr. Mullins: Welding is a real job, unlike ... psychology.
-
Bones: Do you even know what superconductivity is?
Booth: I know it's better than normal conductivity.
-
Hodgins: The man (Angela's father) is from Texas! He told me that if I messed up ... ugh, I don't remember what he said exactly but he, mentioned the key G-demolish and it sounded pretty bad.
Nigel-Murray: The blues is known as the Devil's music because those most adept are thought to have made a pact with the Devil and thus fear no earthly lore because, they're already doomed to an eternity in Hell.
Sweets: Harsh.
Hodgins: (sarcastically) Thank you, Vincent. I- I feel much better now.
-
Booth: You know what? You're the only smart person I really like.
Brennan: Thank you.
Sweets: Awe, that's ... What- what about ... what about me? (Booth and Brennan leave.)
-
Dr. Collar: (to Dr. Brennan) I was wondering ... could I have your phone number?
Sweets: Wow!
Booth: Told you.
Sweets: Really?!
Brennan: I've been ... considering how to respond if you asked and have decided upon -- no.
Booth: Oh.
-
(Dr. Collar punches Booth.)
Booth: Ah! God! Ow!
Dr. Collar: That's for killing my fiancée.
Brennan: One person to your left, Dr. Collar. (Dr. Collar punches Milton.)
Dr. Collar: My apologies Agent Booth. My, echolocator must have malfunctioned.
-
Booth: You know that guy Landis?
Brennan: Yes.
Booth: He's about to make a move on you.
Brennan: How do you know?
Booth: Because it is the rational and smart thing to do, and he is all about that. And I see how he looks at you.
Brennan: How he looks at me? He's blind.
-
Booth: You're testing me on the cancer chair?!
Brennan: What, you're wearing a suit, plus it's not radioactive anymore! We're going to need to take this chair.
Booth: No, no, no! You just don't go around doing human testing on people, Bones! I gotta go to the bathroom.
Brennan: It's just- (Booth runs away.) Well I, touched it with my bare hands, see!
-
Angela: Celibacy is a lot like fasting.
Brennan: So you've become sexually anorexic?
-
Nigel-Murray: The ancient Sumerians were prone to spreading gold dust over the body during funeral rites.
Cam: Did the Sumerians chop up the body into little tiny bits first?
Nigel-Murray: Not to my knowledge.
Hodgins: What is this?
Cam: A black pearl?
Nigel-Murray: Pearls! Symbolizing eggs or rebirth and resurrection, were used in many South Seas funeral rites.
Cam: Did they chop up the bodies into little tiny bits first?
Nigel-Murray: I've begun to apprehend your point, Dr. Saroyan.
-
Hodgins: (looking at the remains) Wow.
Cam: I've been a pathologist for 13 years and I admit, I am ... a little nauseated.
Nigel-Murray: It's going to fall to me to empty these bags, isn't it? (Hodgins and Cam look at him.) All right then. Fine. I may need a pot of tea waiting.
-
Booth: Hey, would you even want to guess what happened to this human being?
Bones: No.
Booth: I knew you'd say that. I just had to ask.
-
Booth: Hey, so what's it look like to you?
Brennan: An ear.
Booth: Did you just make a joke?
Brennan: No.
Booth: 'Cause that wouldn't be like you.
Brennan: I didn't. It looks like an ear.
-
Bones: What exactly are you working on?
Milton: I am endeavoring to find a way to transmit single-cell organisms using common pond scum from one location to another.
Booth: Ever try a spoon?

(Sweetw approaches quickly behind Hodgins, who is examining evidence)
Sweets: Hodgins!
Hodgins: (jerks suddenly) Don't sneak up like that, I could put out an eye on my microscope.
