Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Brennan

Shouldn't we do something?

Booth

You kidding? Hodgins being abducted by men in black? It's a dream come true.

Angela

Childhood should be all about swings.

Hodgins

Swings?

Angela

Yeah, you know, how high can I go? If I twist the chains, how fast will I spin?

Hodgins

Or if I try and jump off before the swing stops.

Angela

Exactly.

Hodgins

I miss that feeling.

Angela

Yeah. Me, too.

Brennan

I miss organic chemistry class. Those were good times.

Zack

I miss my first microscope.

Booth

Yeah, and I miss normal people. Can we move on?

Angela

Hodgins asked me out.

Brennan

Is that why you're hiding in here?

Angela

I'm not hiding. I need advice.

Brennan

What -- on a personal matter?

Angela

Yes.

Brennan

From me?

Angela

Yes.

Brennan

But romance is sort of... This is like me asking you advice on phylogenetic systematics.

Angela

Phylogenetic systematics. I have no idea what that is.

Brennan

Exactly.

Is that a real skeleton?

Brennan

Yes. The shape of her hips indicated she'd already given birth.

How old was she?

Brennan

12

She should've waited to be married before she had sex!

[In a hushed voice] You said sex!

[Cute grin]

Brennan

And when she won it reflected well on you. That way you wouldn't have to deal with your own physical identity.

[looks at Brennan in disbelief then looks at Booth] I don't like her.

Brennan

[on the phone to Booth] You might as well let her go, Booth.

Booth

Why?

Zack

She has very nice, symmetrical buttocks.

Booth

[speechless]

Booth

(to Agent Zhang) So, I dragged out one of the top forensic anthropologists across the country on the word of a prostitute?

Brennan

What difference does her profession make?

Booth

I'm backing you up.

Brennan

You're judging.

Booth

I wasn't judging, I had your back.

Brennan

Yeah, your voice was judging.

Sorry Booth, I just couldn't have you blowing my cover.

Booth

Ahhhh...yeah, as they taught us in Quantico Walt, I wasn't about to.

Brennan

Do you know everyone in this town?

Another Army fighter Joe? How many of these has beens you getting a week?

At least this one still looks like he's in shape.

Brennan

Yeah my man's in great shape. Believe me.

Booth

It's human cock-fighting.

Brennan

More like lesser surrogates engaged in battles on behalf of the elite lords who don't have the courage to fight themselves.

Booth

Right, you know what? (snaps his fingers) Come back to me Roxie, huh?

Brennan

Ooo, look at all the sweat!

Just ship both sets of remains here - along with dust, bugs, the works. If there's a forensic link to these murders, we'll find it.

Brennan

As long as you keep me in the loop...

As if we could actually keep you out.

Brennan

(referring to her shoes) how does anyone actually walk in these things?

Booth

Oh you know them boots they ain't made for walking sweetheart (slaps Brennan's butt)

Brennan

Okay that was completely over the top.

Booth

I don't want anyone knowing we're FBI.

Brennan

That's easy for me, I'm not.

Booth

(referring to Brennan's little show in the gym) That was amazing! What got into you?

Brennan

It's from when I used to watch old movies with my dad--he really liked Clara Bow.

Booth

Bones, Clara Bow was in silent movies.

Brennan

Oh...then I guess that's just how I imagined she'd sound.

Brennan

(coming out in a rather chaste black dress) What do you think?

Booth

(sarcastically) I have enough Bibles, thank you, but try next door.

Brennan

You said I could be a school teacher.

Booth

Not the spinster kind who lives with her sister but, you know, the hot one who makes the boys crazy. Here (hands her a dress) put on the one that I picked out, alright?

Brennan

Okay, but don't be so bossy. (She disappears into the bathroom.)

Booth

We're newly-weds I said. Taking Sin City by storm, ready for action.

Brennan

(from the bathroom) But you know, marriage is such an archaic institution.

Booth

(exhales in frustration) Listen Bones, I know what I'm doing. Okay? I've done this before, just stop arguing.

Brennan

I'm not. It's just, you know, I don't need a piece of paper to prove my commitment.

Booth

Fine. We're engaged.

Brennan

Why would I be okay with engagement?

Booth

Whatever Bones, alright? We're a loosely committed couple of hot high rollers with money to burn. Cause that's what's gonna get us in the door.

Brennan

(comes out of the bathroom in a stunning little black dress) Like this?
