Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Booth

Did either of you bring any water? [The girls show him their small water bottles.]

Angela

Why?

Brennan

Because we are way past where Jesus lost his sandals.

Brennan

Obviously, subconsciously sifted through the rational facts of the case and processed the most likely scenario.

Angela

I'm sure that's it.

Booth

Yeah, what else could it be?

Angela

Well it's the only rational explanation.

Brennan

Are you guys making fun of me?

Brennan

Why do the FBI always stick their morgues in the most depressing basement they can find?

Booth

Don't be such a snob, Bones, okay? Not everyone gets to play in a multi-million dollar lab, you know... with skylights.

Brennan

It's because as a society we feel the need to hide death away. The people who deal with death are viewed as freaks.

Brennan

F.B.I! You're all under arrest!

Booth

Come on, Bones, you don't get to say that. I'm the one with the badge.

Brennan

[to Dr. Goodman] Bones don't just disappear. I thought this was a secure facility. You assured me this was a secure facility. I could be working at Stanford, you know? This never would've happened at Stanford!

Goodman

We spend three-quarters of a million annually on security!

Brennan

Obviously that's not enough. [Booth comes in] I want my bones! Did you find my bones?

Booth

Ooh, maybe you just want to, you know, chill a little?

Brennan

Chill?

Booth

Yeah. You know, take a pill?

Brennan

Listen, dude, my lab was violated, my bones were stolen, so I think I'll remain warm for a little while longer.

Angela

Honey, maybe you should focus on your breathing.

Booth

Breathing.

Angela

Count to ten.

Booth

Count to ten.

Angela

Have a shot of Jack.

Booth

Shot of Jack.

I didn't see the harm.

Brennan

In stealing human remains?

After 300 years, it's not like he's got a family grieving for him out there.

Goodman

Think of me as a grieving parent.

Brennan

Music...Shhh, it's down there. [gesturing]

Booth

That's not music...it's bagpipes.

Booth

Guy was a Navy SEAL.

Brennan

So? You were a Guide.

Booth

A Ranger. I was a Ranger, Bones, ok? I was not a Guide. Guides, they show you waterfalls, they sell you cookies. Was a Ranger.

Brennan

What's he doing at the shaft?

Brennan

Are Rangers afraid of SEALs?

Booth

What? C'mon Bones. No, Rangers aren't afraid of anybody. SEALs are pretty good though.

Booth

Voodoo... [laughs] Who's gonna believe that stuff?

Brennan

It's a religion. No crazier than... well, what are you?

Booth

Catholic.

Brennan

They believe in the same saints you do. And prayer. What they call spells, you call miracles. They have priests.

Booth

We don't make zombies.

Brennan

Jesus rose from the dead after three days.

Booth

Jesus is not a zombie! I shouldn't even have to tell you that.

[to Booth] You found a prosecutor to defend her? Interesting tactic.

Brennan

I've told Detective Harding everything I know so far-

Caroline

She's a fool!? [to Booth] You didn't tell me she's a fool!

Booth

No, she's a a brilliant forensic anthropologist.

Brennan

Wa..I have three degrees. I-I've pioneered in research-

Caroline

What's that? [pointing to the evidence]

Brennan

A gris-gris bag, I find it in my hotel- [tries to hold evidence but Detective Harding took it away] -room. I'm assuming the person who left it there was trying to frame me, so the tooth is..probably Graham's.

Caroline

Three degrees and still a fool!

Caroline

I am doing you a favor taking this case, Booth. But as the lady cop says, I'm a prosecutor. And as it stands now, I could try this case in my PJs and still get a conviction.

Brennan

Well, shouldn't you get to know your clients before you make snap judgments?

Brennan

Why are you nice to me?

Booth

Because. Because they think they get away with it.

Brennan

What?

Booth

They burn their victim. They blow him up. They toss him in the ocean. They bury him in the desert. They throw 'em to wood chippers. Sometimes, you know, years go by. They relax. Then they start living their lives like they didn't do anything wrong. Like they didn't spend somebody else's life in order to get what they got. They think they're safe from retribution. You make those bastards unsafe. That's why I'm nice to you.

Brennan

I couldn't do that without you, Booth.

Booth

Yeah. So, um, you should be a little nicer to me, huh?

Brennan

I really should.

Booth

And they put a forgetting spell on her!

Brennan

Booth!

Caroline

Hey, I can work with that. This N'awlins, baby.

Booth

About a month ago, his daughter, Amy, was diagnosed with cancer. Meso--

Brennan

Mesothelioma. Lung cancer.

Booth

Exactly. So she is not doing so well, so it's a lot easier for us to come to him right now.

Brennan

Huh.

Booth

Huh what?

Brennan

Nothing. It's just -- that's an extremely rare form of lung cancer. Odd for someone Amy's age to contract--

Booth

No. No no no. No probing, 'kay? Not to Cullen, not to his family. This will take five minutes. We go in there, we do the show and tell, we leave him with the case, and then we're outta there. Is that clear?

Brennan

I just think it's peculiar--

Booth

No.

Brennan

But I--

Booth

No!

Booth

How do you listen to this all day?

Brennan

I find intelligence soothing.
