Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Brennan

I used to come here to find animals to dissect. I didn't have a boyfriend.

Booth

Well, maybe because you were cutting up little woodland creatures.

Have I arrested you before, hon?

Brennan

No. You were my lab partner in Chemistry at Burtonsville High.

Are you absolutely sure? I have an excellent memory.

Brennan

Positive. Though you are thinner now, which is better for you cardiovascular system. In High School, you were quite overweight, hence the derision from the other students.

Yeah. I remember you now. The creepy girl.

Brennan

33. She was 33.

Angela

Well, how do you know that?

Brennan

Because I'm the one who broke her jaw... with a tennis racket. This is one of my classmates... Evelyn Simms.

Brennan

Why are you so suspicious of Mr. Buxley?

Booth

Why? Because, you know, he's psycho. He has access to the shop. And he has a huge knife.

Booth

Bones, you're tearing up.

Brennan

This is the prom I never got to go to.

So, you actually look normal now.

Brennan

Thank you. I heard Evalyn ruined your career!

...But you're not, are you?

Brennan

He emailed me and said he had tickets to a play.

Booth

He emailed you for a play??

Brennan

I believe that play is Andrew's code for sex. Is it okay for us to talk like this?

Booth

Yeah!

Brennan

Well, when he invited me to the play I thought it was code for sex, so I said no.

Booth

Oh.

Brennan

But I said yes to coffee.

Booth

Maybe that's a code.

Brennan

Angela informed me that coffee isn't a code for anything.

Booth

I have a date, too.

Brennan

[surprised] Good.

Booth

Catherine Bryar.

Brennan

Everyone at the aquarium is a suspect.

Booth

And once she is eliminated as a person of interest --

Brennan

Why did Andrew call?

Brennan

What's wrong with these angelfish?

They've been listless the past few days. Most likely from something they ingested.

Booth

Or someone.

Brennan

We should take these fish back to the lab.

No, you can't! These are a gift from Morocco!

Brennan

They need to be tested for trace evidence in a murder investigation.

Booth

We'll get them back to you. Don't worry.

Brennan

I may or may not get them back to you.

Brennan

I'm going to have coffee with Andrew.

Booth

Alright, have a good time.

Brennan

Thank you!

Booth

I'm going to see someone too.

Brennan

Dr. Catherine Bryar.

Booth

Case is closed.

Brennan

She's very nice. The two of you seem compatible.

Booth

Maybe. We'll see.

Brennan

She's easily as pretty as I am. I mean, using me as a standard.

Booth

Bones, you are the standard.

Brennan

Andrew is not as handsome as you, using you as a standard. He is however, taller. Catherine isn't as smart as I am.

Booth

Well, I'm not as smart as Hacker.

Brennan

You once said he was a doofus.

Booth

He is a doofus, a smart doofus.

Brennan

I hope you have a good time together.

Booth

Yeah, you too.

Brennan

[smiles] Thanks.

Brennan

Where's the nearest place a tiger shark, a hammmerhead and a red snapper could co-exist?

How about the aquarium? [Brennan and Catherine look at him] [jokingly] Hey you don't get to be the Deputy Director of the FBI by just dressing well and kissing ass. [chuckles] OK, yeah, that's most of it but I'm probably right about the aquarium.

Booth

No. No. Uh, let's -- you think, we can go twenty minutes on this case without talking about testicles?

Sweets

Please.

Brennan

Okay.

Booth

Great.

Brennan

Booth has made a social contract with a marine biologist.

Sweets

Sorry?

Booth

[laughing] It's amazing that you go from injured testicles to the woman I'm dating. [turning to Sweets] And you, you're supposed to say, "Oh, that's interesting," in a very annoyed way.

Brennan

It's a logical transition.

Sweets

But it is very interesting.

Brennan

Booth and I are friends. Catherine is an intelligent, attractive woman, and I'm intrigued by their developing relationship.

Booth

That's nice. I think.

Sweets

Yeah. I think it is nice.

Booth

Thank you, Bones.

Sweets

Wow. You two seem to be handling dating very well. I'm impressed.

Brennan

Well, you've known me for two years, Sweets. You should expect to be impressed by me.

Brennan

Booth seems to like Catherine, don't you think?

I do. I'm glad. It's been a long time since he dated anyone.

But you're seeing Hacker.

Brennan

Yes, I like him. But not like Booth. I mean, not like Booth wants to like someone.

All organisms evolve and develop along patterns only recognized in retrospect. Your life doesn't exist outside the laws of nature.

Brennan

Then in ignorance, I await my own surprise. Although the odds of it to evolving into a commitment to another person are remote.

Brennan

Our partnership is so important to me. You know that, right?

Booth

Sure. Yeah. Die for your partner. That's the way I look at it.

Booth

We have some unanswered questions about Kurt Cobain's death and thought maybe you can give us some insight.

[jumps up in excitement] Seriously?

Brennan

I believe he was being ironic but if you do have information about this Cobain person I'm sure the FBI would appreciate that too.

Booth

[stares at Brennan] Thanks Bones.

Max

I was doing it for you.

Brennan

No, I don't want you to kill people for me. Just buy me a sweater like a regular dad.
