[looks at a laughing Brennan] Now what?

Brennan

Perhaps you could see your dark side if you mooned a mirror. [laughs] Because "moon" is a term that refers to exposing --

I know.

Brennan

Get it? It's pretty clever, right?

It's clever. I'd laugh, but I'm afraid of driving off the road.

Brennan

I understand.

Yeah, right? [smiles]

Brennan

Safety first. I understand. [laughs]

Bones, at any time did you think that the chupacabra was real?

Brennan

[laughs] No.

Then why did you believe that I saw the Yeti in Nepal?

Brennan

Because what I said you saw was totally rational.

I never saw it. You see, what you did was rationally explain something that never happened.

Brennan

You never saw the Yeti?

Or did I?

Brennan

No, you didn't! You did? Are you trying to confuse me?

I might be!

Brennan

Okay, what is your point?

That things are confusing. Just because you can explain something doesn't mean that it's explainable.

Brennan

You mean explicable?

Sure, like us. We don't make any sense at all.

Brennan

[chuckles] Don't be ridiculous. Yetis don't exist.

I was in Nepal. Rangers have a secure training base there. I was doing field exercises, about to rendezvous with my platoon and I saw it. About 30, 35 feet in front of me.

Brennan

You were in the snow and in unfamiliar terrain, alone. Hallucinations are common.

It was over ten feet tall, it was huge. I looked straight in its eyes, pointed my rifle at it and it ran. This was no hallucination.

Brennan

Booth, I'm sure you thought––

[cuts Brennan off] Hey, why don't you just trust me here? Why can't you just use that brilliant scientific mind of yours and at least admit the possibility of what I'm saying here is true.

Brennan

You––you serious?

[resignedly] Just forget it. You know, you talk really good game, Bones, but when it comes down to it you're no different than people who were certain that the sun revolved around the earth.

Brennan

[protests] That's not true.

Hmm.

[Booth's trying to get Brennan's ID back from Walter, both of them scuffling around the bar]

[calling for help when Booth pushes him down on the table] Leo! LEO!!

LLeo

You provoke this upon yourself. [rising to leave] Let me know how things turned out.[leaves]

IIke

Cold beer while you wait? [offering cold beer to Brennan who's watching the two guys scuffling]

Brennan

[holds the beer bottle] Wait for what? [Booth and Walter still scuffling in the background]

IIke

The boys to get reacquainted. [cheers at Brennan's beer bottle and drinks]

Uh, pudge here is a..blind at one eye. [referring to person in the video]

Brennan

[surprised] How can you tell?

Oh, it's the way he holds that scrap, or whatever it is to the light.

'Whatever it is' is a map...

Brennan

[correcting Booth] It's a chart fragment, Mr Sherman.

Oh, uh, please...call me Walter. [smiles at Brennan, Brennan smiles back]

Seriously? Focus, can we? Thank you. Really? [gesturing and giving a look at Walter]

[looks at Booth and looks back at Brennan] Are you two sleeping together?

Brennan

[chuckles] No! [looks at Booth]

No.

[to Brennan] Would you sleep with me? [Brennan looks at Walter shocked and amused]

[to Walter] You know what, you find the map, maybe you get a shot.[Brennan smacks Booth's arm] What? [mutters 'sorry' to Brennan]

Brennan

[rising to leave, talking to Walter] Uh..can I get your cell number, please?

What? No! [panicking] Who..who told you to get my cellphone number?

Oh, oh...just relax, don't be paranoid.

Brennan

In case, I obtained any..helpful informations from the victim's remains back in D.C.

IIke

[chuckling] Wh-What exactly you'd expect to find from a cracked-up bag of old bones?

Oh look, Bones has her thing, just like Walter here, alright? [leaving with Brennan]

Brennan

Except my thing is real, not some imaginary finder power! [gesturing mockingly]

Oh! [laughs]

[Walter answers his cell in the toilet]

Who is this?

Brennan

[at the other end with a surprised, confused look] It's..Dr Brennan at the Jeffersonian. Don't you have caller ID?

Caller ID doesn't tell you who's calling, it tells you the phone company wants you to think who's calling. Eh, did you guys find out that the victim was terminally ill?

Brennan

Yes...His mitral valve is completely calcified. How did you know?

He had pyramids on the ceiling of his bedroom.

Brennan

Wh..Pyramids indicate heart disease?

Of all the things humans created, pyramids stood the test of time best. Dying people invest all sorts of meaning in it. So..uh, did you find any signs of torture?

Brennan

Yes, I did. Three fingers were dislocated shortly before death. It's possible, given his heart condition, the victim died with his secret intact.

Nope, he told the killer where to find the map.

Brennan

What...Did you know where?

Poor man's safety deposit box. [looks at the victim's pawnshop's receipt]

Brennan

I..I don't know what that means.

Pawnshop. You got anything else?

Brennan

No, I'm done.

Yup, me too. [flushes the toilet; Brennan gives a confused look after hearing the flushing sound on the other end]

My work's done. [passes receipts to Booth]

What's this?

Itemized invoice from my expenses, mostly fuel for Ike flying me back and forth.

Brennan

But we haven't solve the murder!

Yes, two murders.

Brennan

Two murders! We haven't solve two murders!

You hired me to find the missing chart fragment. Eureka! Ta-daa! Bingo! Mission accomplished, [gesturing to the map] I found it.

Ah, technically, I found it..in her throat

Britney's body was submerged under 80 feet of water in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, I brought her here to you..I..pretty sure that's the impressive part. [leaves]

Brennan

That's true. If it weren't for Walter, her remains will never be discovered.

[gives a look at Brennan] Seriously?

Brennan

How about an encyclopedia?? Ooh! Or..a microscope?

C'mon Bones! Angela and Hodgins are having a baby, not a graduate student. I GOT IT! Uh-Huh! Stuffed animal! That's it!

Brennan

How'll that benefit a child?

Bones, they're having a kid. His major past time is gonna be about pooping his pants, okay? Mr. Poo-poo pants!

Brennan

One of my foster families..I had a..stuffed dog.

And you liked it, right?

Brennan

It frightened me actually. It was the family's pet for many years before they had it stuffed.

[pause] Oh! We'll..we'll forget about the whole stuffed animal thing. I..I got it, we'll get em' one of those mobiles for the crib.

Brennan

Can you sign? Because we'll need to communicate with her.

MMeacham

Yes, but as of yet, she hasn't responded and who were you? [Brennan gives a suprised look]

[to Meacham] Dr. Brennan is the best forensic anthropologist in the country..

Brennan

World! [Caroline surprised and Cam smiles at the reply]

[creating the scenario of the case in the Bones room]

Okay, I still don't understand.

Brennan

They were face to face.[moving to a bigger space, gesturing Arastoo to participate, Arastoo obliged]. Duvall Price knocks her down.[Brennan lies down on the floor as Amy] He landed of top on her [gesturing Arastoo to be Duvall Price and get on top of her] Mr Vaziri?

[Awkwardly obliged, holds his body with his hands on top of Brennan] This is very awkward.

Brennan

[Below Arastoo] Mr Vaziri, this is a part of your job.

And I would like to quit this part of the job.

You know, Vincent gave me a great piece of advice? He said, "The busiest shopping hour in the entire year is between 3:00 and 4:00 on Christmas Eve." So, I never shop during that time.

Oh, he told me that Quebec City in Canada has the same amount of street crime as Disney World. So, safe place to visit.

Vincent informed me that the crack of a whip was actually the tip breaking the sound barrier.

He told me that the top of the Eiffel Tower is actually six inches shorter in the winter time. So, it's better to climb it then.

Brennan

Vincent's favorite song was "Da Lime in Da Coconut".

Seriously? 'Cause that's like … that's my jam.

(The team breaks out into singing "Da Lime in Da Coconut" as they load Vincent Nigel-Murray's remains into a hearse.)

[Applying pressure to a wounded Vincent Nigel-Murray] Open your eyes, Vincent! Stay with me!

[pleadingly] I... ple-please don't. Just don't make me go. I-I don't want to go. I love -it's been lovely. Being here with - with you.

Brennan

No! You can stay here as long as you like, Vincent. You're my favorite! Everyone knows that. Right, Booth?

[Vincent's pleas stop and he goes still. Realizing there's nothing more he can do, Booth takes his hands off him.]

Brennan

You have to keep the pressure on!

[quietly] No, I don't, Bones.
