Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Brennan

You know, anthropologically speaking, you follow a very ancient tradition.

Monte

Okay... entrepreneur?

Brennan

Pimp.

Brennan

(Asking Monte about his trip from Ft. Lauderdale to Daytona) Any girls ride with you?

Monte

As much as I hate to disappoint you, uh...fact is I'm not entertaining like I used to.

(Sarcastically) Aahh, getting too old to exploit little drunk girls?

Monte

You seen the videos? They exploit themselves.

Monte

(pointing at Brennan) This is you, isn't it?

Brennan

Please don't point your finger at me.

Monte

I knew the first time I saw you, here comes another feminist crusader, out to spoil some good, all-American fun. (shoves his hand close to Brennan's face; Brennan grabs his hand and twists it around his back) OW! Get off, get off!

Brennan

(to Sully) Self defense, he assaulted me.

Yes, he did.

Brennan

I thought you said you'd be down on the next flight.

Booth

I haven't met with the shrink, yet.

Brennan

What shrink?

Booth

Well, the department psychiatrist has to sign a piece of paper saying, you know, that I am not nuts before I get my gun back, so I got an appointment tomorrow.

Brennan

(sarcastically) Great, now I have to break in this Agent Sullivan?

Booth

Sully's a great guy, okay. And for your information, you never broke me in.

Zack

How would someone eat gold?

Angela

Not eat, drink. Goldenrod.

Brennan

Goldenrod?

Angela

It's this 100 proof cinnamon schnapps that we drank in college. It's infused with real gold flakes, purely for decadence sake.

Angela

Well, it's way worse coming up. I can tell you that.

Monte

They all want to be a Hotty Body - I walk into a place and the shirts fly off, making what used to be a rush kinda, I don't know, mundane.

Brennan

Because you objectify them - you never see what makes them human.

Monte

(laughs incredulously) Man, you have to spend all day with her?

Yeah, an actual woman - you ought to try it sometime.

You can only admit evidence that is in plain view, although in this bus that could be DNA on virtually any surface.

Brennan

That's an image.

Brennan

Why do you call your psychiatrist "Gordon Gordon"?

Booth

'Cause that's how he introduces himself. You know, "Hi, I'm Gordon. Gordon Wyatt."

Brennan

Like "James. James Bond."

Booth

"Bond. James Bond." Not "James. James... James"... whatever.

Angela

For once can you just pretend that you're the girl?

Brennan

Why is everyone so anxious for me to be a girl?

Hodgins

It's my letter of resignation.

Brennan

Your science was dead-on perfect. That's all I care about. I don't need your resignation. [to Cam] He didn't actually tamper with evidence!

Dr. Hodgins endangered a case by hiding his relationship with a suspect.

Hodgins

I'm saving Dr. Saroyan the trouble of firing me.

Brennan

Well, how much trouble is it? "You're fired." That's no trouble at all! I mean, a child could do it.

Booth

Don't knock therapy, okay? Dr. Wyatt has helped me realize there are certain pressures that build up on the job, and I need creative ways--

Brennan

We do everything together.

Booth

--of dealing with them.

Brennan

What exactly do you have to contend with on the job that I don't?

Booth

You, Bones. You don't have to contend with you.

Brennan

Okay, I want the whole kip and canoodle transported to the Jeffersonian.

Booth

Kit and caboodle.

Brennan

Whatever.

Brennan

No bones, no Bones... I was the second "Bones."

Oh, very witty.

So what? You got a part of the groom instead of the bride?

Booth

Bones stole it!

Brennan

Uh, not stole -- swapped.

Booth

From an old Chinese lady's mantle.

Brennan

I brought a bunch of chimpanzee bones and pulled the old ah, switchamacallit.

Booth

Switcheroo.

Whatchamacallit.

Booth

Two different things.

Booth

I'm not working a whole case with you attacking my beliefs. You should have just saddled up with your boyfriend.

Brennan

Your beliefs are of an invisible man who wants to run my personal life.

Zack

Death would have followed quickly caused by cranial cerebral trauma.

Booth

By the way, 90% of the world believes in God!

Brennan

And at one time most people were certain that the sun revolved around the earth.

Booth

[to Zack] You see, I don't think this is about religion at all. [to Brennan] We obviously have issues that are affecting our working relationship and you're afraid to deal with them, so you just lash out at my religion!

Brennan

Can't you just be satisfied that if I'm wrong about God, I'll burn in hell?

Booth

Ooh, that's tempting.
