Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Daisy

Dr. Brennan, about this morning..

Brennan

What about it?

Daisy

I don't want you think that Lance and I are dating again because we're not. That was purely accidental intercourse.

Brennan

You had intercourse accidentally? What were you trying to do, Miss Wick?

Daisy

I was returning a book.

Brennan

[confused] And..your pants fell off?

Angela

This is incredible, I can't believe this is an actual slave ship! Where did they find it?

Brennan

Off the coast of Maryland. This could shed an enormous light on the slave trade.

Or give me nightmares, one or the another.

[found something amongst the slave remains] Over here! Now! Uh..not kidding even a little bit, Dr Hodgins!

Hodgins

Yeah? What you got?

That! [pointing to the skull covered with pink lifeforms] What the hell is it?

Hodgins

Wow...some kind of organism anchored to the bone. [examining the skull] Interesting!

Alien sea-life hitchhikes in on a slave ship, and that's all you can say? Interesting?

Brennan

But I think in this context, interesting is a way of acknowledging lifeforms beyond Dr Hodgins' expertise.

Hodgins

Temporary condition, I assure you. [announcing to the people on the forensic platform] Hey, listen up! Hold any other bones with pink slime and bring it over here. [reexamining the skull with a magnifying glass] It's possible that alien is an inappropriate adjective. I think we maybe looking a N.T.I here.

What's he talking about?

Brennan

I have no idea.

Booth

Scuse' Me, we're looking for Hunter Lang.

Err..he's one of our bartenders. Nadi, they're looking for Lang.

Oh! [looks at Booth] Jealous husband?

Booth

[shows his badge] FBI

Oh! Well, ca-can this wait? We'll be back by 10.

Booth

How about we come with you?

[looks at Sweets] Only if he comes to. [points at Sweets, Booth and Brennan looks at Sweets]

Booth

That was the plan.

Done!

Sweets

I'm sorry, what just happened there?

Brennan

If this was the Malukus, I would say it was some sort of virgin offering.

Sweets

Virgin?

Brennan

Quasi virgin offering.

Vincent

Definitely looks like murder.

Brennan

There's nothing definite here, Mr. Nigel-Murray. It's possible the victim had a grand mal seizure while voluntarily lying in the chocolate.

But let's call it murder, just for fun.

Booth

Bones, what are you doing here?

Brennan

What are you doing?

Booth

I don't know; following you to a bad part of town and saving your life. You know, the usual. Your turn.

Brennan

How-how come I understand every word you say? Always? I don't have that with anybody else. Sometimes I just hear … noise.

Micah

Well, I guess I've been here so long, I speak the secret language of the Jeffersonian, hmm?

Micah

By the power vested in me by the Jeffersonian Institution, I declare you sleep-deprived. There's a cab waiting to take you home to bed, hmm?

Brennan

Do you really have that power?

Micah

I saw this lecture where this New Age guru type said the only power people exert over us is the power we allow them to exert.

Brennan

Well that's incredibly stupid.

Micah

I agree. You wave a gun in my face, you got power whether I like it or not.

Brennan

It sounds exactly like my voice. She is me.

Micah

She isn't you. She's her and you're you. You're alive and she's dead. Ergo, ipso, facto, Colombo, Oreo.

Brennan

Those last two words, one is the capital of Sri Lanka and the other is … a cookie.

Micah

[smiles] It sounds like Latin.

Brennan

I made a mistake.

Booth

Nah, I told you my opinion, I mean, you got it right.

Brennan

Not everything. She died with regrets.

Booth

Come on, Bones, everybody has regrets.

Brennan

I heard her, you know? Micah says that all we get are these dim, staticky messages from the universe.

Booth

Who's this Micah guy?

Brennan

The night watchman, but he attends a lot of lectures. Anyway, the point is … she never gave him a chance.

Booth

Micah.

Brennan

No, no, the helicopter pilot. He offered himself to her, but she never gave him a chance. That was her regret. I got the signal, Booth. I don't wanna have any regrets.

Booth

Um, I'm with someone, Bones. And, uh, Hannah? She's not a consolation prize. I love her.You know, the last thing I wanna do is hurt you, but those are the facts.

Brennan

[in tears] I understand. I missed my chance. My whole world turned upside down. I can adjust.

Booth

I did.

Brennan

Yes, you did.

Brennan

We found traces of rhinoceros's horn in Paisley's shower. In Chinese medicine, rhinoceros's horn is only used by men.

Booth

Which puts you in the shower.

No, th-the rhinoceros's horn was a blue string, like a necklace. I told Jenny it will help her back.

Brennan

That's not true. Rhinoceros's horn is cold and only used by men because they are hot.

Booth

We are.

Brennan

Please roll up your pant leg.

What? What are you doing?

Brennan

We have a video of the man with Jenny that night. I'd like to compare your tibia with the one on the video.

No. You could make a mistake.

Brennan

I don't make mistakes.

[looks at Booth]

Booth

She doesn't.

Brennan

It's as if this man spent a great deal of time on his hands while engaging in a repetitive motion.

Wendell

...I get it!

Brennan

This motion would be reminiscent of a primate having intercourse!

Wendell

We are looking for a horny farmer, yes we are.

Brennan

Hannah called me.

Booth

Let's just -- I really -- I don't want to talk about that, okay? I'm over it. I'm over it. I'm done.

Brennan

So, what happens next?

Booth

What happens next. You like evidence, right, Bones? Well, here's the evidence: the evidence is that there's something wrong here. I fell in love with a woman. I had a kid. She doesn't want to marry me. Well -- and then the next woman, well, she's --

Brennan

Me.

Booth

Yeah, and now -- what is it with women who just don't want what I'm offering here?

Brennan

Booth --

Booth

No. You know what? Drink. Drink. I just really -- I'm just mad. I'm just really mad at all of you. I'm just mad. Okay, so you want to know how this is going to work? Okay, this is how this is going to work. Me and you are partners. That's what we do; we're partners, and I love that! That's great. We're good people who catch bad people. Right? Yeah, and we argue. We go back and forth, we're partners, and sometimes after we solve a case we come here and we celebrate. That's what we do. We celebrate. So as far as I can see, that is what happens next? Are you okay with that? Great, because if you are, I'll tell you what. You stay here and you have a drink with me. All right? Maybe we have a little small talk, chit chat, and if you're not, well, you can leave. There's the door, and tomorrow I'll find you a new FBI guy.

Brennan

Those are my only choices?

Booth

Yeah, those are your only choices.

Brennan

Then I'll have a drink.

Brennan

[answers mobile phone] Brennan. Oh, hello, Douglas. No, I can't tonight. I'm busy. I'm sorry. Okay, goodbye!

Clark

So you have plans tonight? That's nice!

Brennan

No. No. A date on Valentine's Day comes with the expectation of affectionate companionship and probably sex. I have no intention of engaging in either.
