Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Brennan

Oh my God! I completely forgot you can't be here Booth, you're a degenerate gambler.

Booth

Former gambler, okay not degenerate. I've been through the program okay. And you know he's on the move!

Brennan

What if you get a sudden urge to gamble while you're here? It's like sending an alcoholic to a distillery. Do you need to sit down?

Brennan

They call this America's playground?

Booth

We're 15 miles outside of Vegas, Bones. This is America's frying pan.

Booth

You never told me the second reason why you bet on me.

Booth

No, try me.

Brennan

Beginner's luck. I haven't lost anything since I've been here. And I... I figured if I bet on you...

Booth

I couldn't lose.

Brennan

Sounds silly, right?

Booth

Sounds familiar. Thanks.

Brennan

You're welcome.

Brennan

I'm okay with you thanking God for saving me and Hodgins.

Booth

That's not what I thanked Him for. I thanked Him for saving ... all of us. It was all of us, every single one. You take one of us away and you and Hodgins are in that hole forever. (Booth looks at Brennan whose eyes are glistening with tears.) And I'm thankful for that.

Brennan

I knew you wouldn't give up.

Booth

I knew you wouldn't give up.

Brennan

What did you ask for?

Booth

That's between me and a certain Saint. Although, I did ask for a little help finding the Gravedigger.

Brennan

Good move. What's that smell?

Booth

Candles. And I said thanks. You should try it some time.

Brennan

If I were going to pray, I would have done it just before we set off the explosion.

Booth

And you didn't?

Brennan

No, see, if there was a God, which there isn't -

Brennan

And if I were someone who believed He had a plan ...

Booth

Which I do ...

Brennan

Then I'd be tempted to think He wanted me to go through something like I went through because it might make me more open to the whole ... concept

Brennan

We should get as far away from the explosion as possible.

Hodgins

Already am. (holds out hand) Care to join me?

Hodgins

This thing you found in my leg is anodized plastic film coated in metallic tape with dried out adhesive. It's a bumper sticker.

Brennan

You mean like "If You Can Read This, You're Too Close"?

Brennan

Had it occurred to you that God is a lot like the Gravedigger?

Booth

(stammers) What? What?!

Brennan

He lays down the rules, no way to question Him or negotiate, then it's almost as though He doesn't care how it works out. Either you do as He says, make some sacrifices and are delivered, or you don't and you end up in Hell.

Booth

You know what I'd appreciate? If you didn't say things like that, because I really don't want to get struck by lightning.

Brennan

You go to church every Sunday?

Booth

Yes, I do.

Brennan

Can I come with you?

Brennan

Why? It might help me to understand.

Booth

I am not gonna help you disrespect God in His own house, okay? If you wanna do some kind of, you know, anthropological study, turn on the religious channel.

Zack

The amount of blood suggests that at least one of them bled out. Probably the one with the injuries. I've also noted a constellation of identical non-metric variants. Extraforamina.

Booth

Does that mean they were twins?

Brennan

How did you know?

Hodgins

Can this possibly work?

Brennan

I'm not really an explosives expert, but the dash might shape the charge enough to blow out the windshield. If we're less than four feet beneath the surface, this charge could blow us to freedom.

Hodgins

And if we're buried more than four feet deep?

Brennan

Then the concussion will turn our brains into jelly.

Hodgins

Well, then we can run for Congress, so it's a win-win.

Brennan

Booth will find us.

Hodgins

You have a lot of faith in Booth.

Brennan

No, faith is an irrational belief in something that is logically impossible. Over time I have seen what Booth can do. It's not faith.

Hodgins

No offense, and I'm not just saying this because you filleted me with a knife, we are out of air. We don't know if our message got out, much less if anyone understood it, and we are buried underground. What you have is faith, baby. (Brennan laughs) Sorry, the "baby" thing is a reflex...

Brennan

Four to six seconds to enter a message and hit speed dial.

Hodgins

I figured out a text message using eight key strikes.

Brennan

How's your text messaging?

Hodgins

Thumbs like lightning. I can do it.

Hodgins

Someone ran me down with a car.

Brennan

We knew that already.

Hodgins

Yeah, but now that we've proved it, I find I'm really annoyed.

Hodgins

Aluminum.

Brennan

Aluminum.?

Hodgins

Well, the Brits say "aluminium", but that sounds so, well... British.

Brennan

What are we surrounded by?

Hodgins

Pain. Despair. And a subsoil accumulation of agglutinated aridisols.

Brennan

Dirt.

Hodgins

You know I don't like the term dirt.

Brennan

Tell me something I don't know.
