Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Booth

I don't know if I have to stay here.

Brennan

You got blown up.

Booth

Pshaw. I've been worse.

Brennan

You have burns, lacerations, two broken ribs, fracture of the clavicle...

Booth

Okay...I got blown up. [reaches for pudding on table] Can you...can you hand me one of the puddings?

Angela

Let's talk revenge, bloodlust.

Brennan

The cathartic release we are looking for can only be achieved when we successfully gather enough evidence to neutralize the person or persons responsible for putting Booth in the hospital.

Zack

Neutralize can mean either kill or arrest?

Brennan

Yes, it can mean either.

Brennan

May I borrow your gun?

Booth

Why do you want my gun?

Brennan

I'm not gonna shoot anyone, I promise.

Booth

It's not a hammer or anything.

Brennan

We've been working together for months Booth, a little trust would be nice.

Booth

Careful!

Booth

Bones, I mean, you do realize that you are discussing motive right now? Psychology, not hard evidence.

Brennan

It won't happen again.

Brennan

You're nervous.

Angela

I'm not nervous. I'm scared. I don't know how to talk to crazy people unless I'm dating them.

Brennan

[checking the map on the cellphone] Okay, I bet Tic-Toc Team is here...two levels above us.

Booth

Don't call them Tic-Toc team, okay? They're Tac Team, it's short for tactical.

Brennan

But, wait, can I just have a gun at least until they get here?

Booth

[sighs and takes out the gun from his sock] Here. It's not for shooting rats, it's for psychos with climbing axes.

Booth

Bones, give me your gun. Take the restraints out of my belt and put 'em on Kyle. [Bones puts her gun in Booth's pants pocket]

Booth

That's not cocked, is it? Because where that's pointed...

Brennan

You're safe.

Booth

Kyle hit the Duke with the candlestick in the crypt.

Goodman

That's very good! Very good. [laughs]

Booth

Right. [laughs]

Brennan

What? What's the joke?

Booth

Clue?

Brennan

What clue? [Booth and Goodman laugh] What clue?

Booth

Unbelievable, Bones.

Angela

What's funny?

Brennan

I have no idea.

Brennan

Maybe you could try the "hey we're brothers-in-arms" thing on him.

Booth

OK, that, what you just said right there, Bones, that was cynical. All right? That was glib and cynical.

Brennan

Really?

Booth

[seriously] Yes. Really. I know what that guy has been through.

Brennan

You killed a pregnant woman who's holding a child? [looks intently at Booth]

Booth

[pauses] Look, if you really want to know what I've done, I'll tell you. But you better be ready for the truth.

Booth

Good choice, Bones.

Harold said he was afraid of me?

Booth

Said he was afraid of a blonde.

How do you know it wasn't Charlize Theron?

Brennan

Who's that?

Booth

It's an actress. She's being sarcastic.

Booth

You know, you amaze me. You know Treasure of the Sierra Madre but you don't know Charlize Theron. [looks at Brennan, half-jokingly] You know who you are? You're my grandmother.

Goodman

If you don't mind some conjecture. [looks around to Brennan]

Brennan

You're the boss.

Goodman

This fellow knew that something of value was being stolen.

Hodgins

[cuts in] Came down with an accomplice. [Brennan looks at him] I apologize. I've been hanging around Booth way too much.

Brennan

It's a valid hypothesis. No doubt one of many.

Zack

They argue, one killed the other for the treasure. Doesn't that mean the vault will be empty when we find it?

Zack

[mutters to himself] Oh my god, they got me too.

Brennan

It took all of my charm--

Booth

All of your charm? Oh boy--

Brennan

Just to get the sheriff to let me look at the skull. When I asked him to let me send the skull to the Jeffersonian, he told me I am not a cop and I don't have any jurisdiction.

Booth

Which is true. Okay, look, what do you want me to do?

Brennan

I want you to get federal on his ass.

Booth

[smiles] Oh!

Brennan

Wait outside while I get dressed.

Booth

No. Unh-uh. The sun's been up for an hour out there. It's already the surface of Mercury. I can stand here, close my eyes, eat my doughnuts. Best I can do, okay?

Brennan

No offence to you, but you're a stodgy traditionalist when it comes to relationships, buddy!

Booth

Stodgy?Stodgy.

Booth

He's definitely twitchy about something.

Brennan

What if he is escaping out the back door?

Booth

You don't spend a lot of time in trailers, do you?
