Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Brennan

How did this skull get here?

Booth

Ask our eyewitness. [runs off] Let's go, buddy. [brings a teenage boy over to Brennan]

I am not high.

Brennan

Neither am I. Why is he telling me that?

Booth

There's only one place that uses the pink rock in its foundations. It's an old deserted bank on the Anacostia River.

Bingo, baby.

Brennan

Why "bingo, baby"?

Booth

I checked into the ownership of the place.

Brennan

Why "bingo, baby"?

Booth

Angela and Hodgins are fine, Zack is back, Cam is locked in. What I need to know, Bones, is are we solid? Because, you and me, Bones, we're the center.

Brennan

And the center must hold. [They shake hands. Booth chuckles.] What?

Booth

I thought you were gonna kiss my hand again.

Brennan

I didn't kiss your hand. You put it over my cup.

Booth

Felt like you kissed it.

Brennan

Did not.

Booth

Did too.

Brennan

Did not.

Booth

Did.

Take Angela. Let her do that thing where she looks at photographs and reads people's minds.

Brennan

No, actually what she does is read minute facial indi-

[Cutting her off] Joke, Dr. Brennan.

Brennan

There's a phrase in ancient Greek burnt into the back of the vault door.

Booth

Well, what's it say?

Brennan

I don't know. It's in ancient Greek.

Booth

Zack is back for good, Angela and Hodgins have their head back in the game, Cam, she's locked in.

Brennan

Why are you asking me this?

Booth

Because, you and me, the center.

Brennan

And the center must hold.

Booth

Right, so we're gonna hold?

Brennan

Yeah. We'll hold. We're the center.

Booth

The center. [They shake hands. Booth chuckles.]

Brennan

What's funny?

Booth

I thought you were gonna kiss my hand again.

Brennan

I did not kiss your hand. You put it over my coffee cup.

Booth

Felt like you kissed it.

Brennan

No.

Booth

Felt it.

Brennan

No.

[to Booth] She must be really good in bed. Otherwise I don't see why you'd keep her around.

Brennan

Yes, I am. Very good. But Booth would have no direct knowledge of that fact.

Booth

[drunk] God, you know, I love this place. I love it. I love this country. You know, I tell ya something. If I was working law enforcement back in the day when they threw all that tea, all right, in the harbor – I'm good, all right, I'm – I'm good. I would have rounded everybody up and we'd still be English.

Brennan

You think?

Booth

Yup. Yup. Definitely.

Brennan

Perhaps you could use these: there's a portion of tongue, hair, and brain matter.

Angela

Okay, if anybody needs me, I'm going to go throw up, then do some paperwork.

You know Booth she must be really good in bed because I can't see any other reason you'd keep her around here.

Brennan

I am. Very good. But Booth has no direct knowledge of that fact.

Booth

Hey.

Brennan

Hay, is for horses...

Booth

[laughs slightly] That's funny Bones.

Brennan

I found it on this website about horses.

Booth

Yeah?

Brennan

Where do horses stay in a hotel?

Booth

The bridle suite.

Brennan

That's correct. How did you know the answer to the bridle suite joke?

Booth

I have a five-year-old son.

Booth

[about sex games] It's wrong. It says so in the Bible.

Brennan

It does not.

Booth

Then it was left out by mistake.

Booth

Here we are, all of us, basically alone, separate creatures just circling each other, all searching for that slightest hint of a real connection. Some look in the wrong places. Some, they just give up hope because in their mind, they're thinking "Oh, there's nobody out there for me." But all of us, we keep trying, over and over again. Why? Because, every once in a while... every once in a while, two people meet, and there's that spark. And yes, Bones, he's handsome, and she's beautiful, and maybe that's all they see at first. But making love... making love... that's when two people become one.

Brennan

It is scientifically impossible for two objects to occupy the same space.

Booth

Yeah, but what's important is we try. And when we do it right, we get close.

Brennan

To what? Breaking the laws of physics?

Booth

Yeah, Bones. A miracle... Those people -- role-playing, and their fetishes, and their little sex games. It's crappy sex, at least compared to the real thing.

Brennan

You're right

Booth

Yeah, but I ...[laughing] Oh, wait a second. I just won that argument?

Brennan

Yep.

Hodgins

[about Angela] She's going deep into her sub-conscious to remember her husband's name, so we can find him, divorce him, get married ourselves and live happily for all eternity.

Brennan

You won't live for eternity.
