Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Booth

[having been woken by Brennan] What's wrong?

Brennan

He kept saying 'don't make me go.'

Booth

What?

Brennan

Vincent. He was looking at me and he was saying 'don't make me leave.' [crying] He said that he loved being there. Why would he think that I'm the one making him leave? What kind of person am I?

Booth

Come here. No, no, no, Bones. You got that all wrong, all right? You got it all wrong.

Brennan

No. I heard him. You did, too. Don't make me leave. That's what he said.

Booth

He wasn't talking to you.

Brennan

I was the only one there. And you. He wasn't -- he wasn't talking to you.

Booth

I think he was talking to God. He didn't want to die.

Brennan

No, Vincent was like me, Booth. He was an athiest.

Booth

Okay. He was talking to the universe, then. He didn't want to go. He wasn't ready, Bones. He wanted to stay.

Brennan

If there was a God then he would have let Vincent stay here with us.

Booth

That's not how it works.

Angela

What is going on? I mean, is this about Vincent?

Brennan

Yes.

Angela

Yeah.

Brennan

And I got into bed with Booth last night. [looks at Angela's dumbfounded expression] Why aren't you saying anything?

Angela

Because I -- I don't wanna yell 'Hallelujah!' so close to losing Vincent!

Brennan

I think I did it because of Vincent.

Angela

Wait. Whoa. What exactly happened after you -- after you crawled into bed with Booth?

Brennan

[pause and thinks for a moment, then gives a happy smile]

Angela

[smiling in anticipation of Brennan's answer]

Hodgins

[walks in the room with speed, bringing information and interrupting before Brennan could say anything] I've got the GC mass spec result back on the bullet that killed Vincent.

Angela

Honey! No! Not right now! I'm sorry, I love you, but go tell Cam! Go! Away!

Hodgins

Uh -- [walks out of the room, stops in the doorway and tries to talk]

Angela

[raising her voice] AWAY!

We are doomed! We only needed two pins and you left them both standing!

Booth

I've still got another ball.

Max

Yeah, right. A seven-ten split.

Brennan

It's highly improbable, statistically approaching the impossible.

Sometimes when you speak it's like you watch PBS on purpose.

Brennan

They looked so happy.

Booth

Shoot yeah. They had a baby!

Brennan

Their whole lives have changed. You'd think they would be a little more apprehensive.

Booth

Well, you know, having a baby. That's a good thing.

Brennan

You really think that?

Booth

Yeah, it's a great thing. Why? What? Oh, come on, Bones. The baby is fine. He's healthy. They have a healthy baby, all right? They love each other. This is the happiest day of their lives, okay? What?

Brennan

I'm -- I'm pregnant. You're the father. [She watches as Booth smiles, and smiles back]

Booth

[notices Brennan crying while examining a body] Everything okay, Bones?

Brennan

Of course. I'm merely experiencing emotional inconsistencies due to hormones secreted during pregnancy.

Hodgins

Angela used to cry at the ShamWow commercial.

Booth

Maybe the dead bodies are finally getting to you.

Brennan

Of course not.

Booth

Let me get a picture of this one. [takes out his cell phone and starts taking pictures]

Brennan

[still crying] Stop it, Booth!

Booth

Relax, okay? It's just -- you're normal.

Brennan

I'm not normal! I'm extraordinary!

Angela

Is it true that you were crying at the crime scene?

Brennan

Only as a result of increased hormonal output, not at sadness at the victim's death.

Wendell

Probably chorionic gonadotropin.

Brennan

Exactly.

Wendell

Still, I mean, you crying. I would have loved to see that.

Brennan

Why?

Angela

It's sort of like an eclipse. It doesn't happen that often.

Brennan

Booth took a picture of me, but since I have a picture of him cooking an omelet naked he agreed never to show it to anyone.

Wendell

Smart move.

Angela

I'm sorry. Naked? Wow. Okay, listen, I am your best friend, so I think I should take a peek at that.

Brennan

What are these x-rays?

Wendell

The paint had hardened, so I x-rayed each glob to see if there was anything inside.

Hodgins

We didn't want to break it open in case it would destroy evidence.

Brennan

What about 6F3?

Hodgins

It looks like tree sap or resin.

Brennan

Enlarge the image, please.

Wendell

That's not sap.

It looks like chewing gum.

Hodgins

Okay, even if it is, the dye and the polyethylene, the paint would have destroyed the DNA.

Brennan

We don't need DNA, do we Mr. Bray?

Wendell

Of course not. I should have seen that. I'm sorry.

Excuse me, the boss here needs an explanation.

Brennan

Look at the image. There is a clear impression of the tooth in the gum. That's as clear as a fingerprint.

Hodgins

If I freeze the paintball I should be able to extract the gum without compromising the shape.

Brennan

I'll tell Booth.

Wendell

She's having that baby so the next generation will have someone to make them feel dumb.

Hodgins

Seriously.

Brennan

Violence would be a logical extension of his belief. The Bible features a vengeful God who capriciously slaughters the creatures he creates. Sweets would characterize him as a sociopath.

Booth

Wait! God is not a sociopath!

Brennan

Let's just say, I don't want him babysitting for our child.

Booth

I just...I want our kid to know that I'm not my dad. I just want him to know that I was a good dad who gave him a real home. Our home.

Brennan

Why didn't you just say that?

Booth

Just didn't think you'd understand.

Brennan

[shakes head incredulously] I don't. I know you're not your father.

Booth

We can have whatever life we want. You know that, right?

Brennan

[smiles] New memories, new life.

Hodgins

Dr. Brennan, are you sure you don't want a chair? The way you're squatting, I'm worried that little guy in there is going to drop right out.

Brennan

Thank you, but my uterus and cervical plug are quite healthy. Also, I'm not having a boy. It's a girl.

Booth

[smiles] A girl. [becomes alarmed] Excuse me?

Brennan

The fetus inside my womb has female genitalia.

Hodgins

You guys are having a girl? That is so awesome!

Booth

Okay, wait. Just wait one second. Can I have a word with you here? You're guessing, right? What we're having?

Brennan

No, I had an ultrasound at the doctor's this morning. Are you displeased with the results?

Booth

No, I'm thrilled, but you can't just spring something like that on me in public. Why didn't you tell me that you had a doctor's appointment?

Brennan

Ultrasounds are poorly pixelated and black and white. You only like movies that are in color.

Booth

I would have loved this movie! It would have been my favorite movie of all time!

Brennan

I had no idea that our child's genitals were so important to you.

Booth

Bones, I am the father.

Brennan

Did your interest in forensics stem from a plan to murder your stepfather?

Yes, ma'am, it did.

Brennan

Dr. Soroyan mentioned that he was physically abusive to both you and your mother.

Finn

He had a temper. Probably why I behaved like I did. I could never find a way to make the mad go away.

Brennan

So did you murder your stepfather, Mr. Abernathy?

Finn

No, ma'am. I did not.

Brennan

What stopped you?

Finn

I read a paper you wrote: postmortem dismemberment analysis. I knew no matter how careful I was I'd never get away with killing him. At least not with ya'll around.

Brennan

I like to think that's true.

Finn

I took it as a sign from above to keep me on the straight and narrow. I haven't so much as talk in church since.

Brennan

What happened to your stepfather?

Finn

Last time I saw him I told him he was a dead man if he ever touched my mama again. I guess the son of a bitch didn't know I was bluffing.

Brennan

I can imagine how it must feel to know people are thinking that you did something like that.

Finn

I appreciate that.

Brennan

[affects southern drawl] You must never walk out again, you hear? There ain't gonna be no more second chances. [smiles at Mr. Abernathy] I love John Wayne movies.

Brennan

I owe you an apology.

Booth

An apology? Wait a second, is this you apologizing to me or me apologizing to you for something that I don't understand?

Brennan

I understand how upset you must have felt not to be included at the ultrasound. While I wish I could undo what I've done to you, I can't.

Booth

That's okay. An apology is enough.

Brennan

Really? Because I have more.

Booth

Oh. I'll always take more. What do you have in mind?

Brennan

Well, the doctor made me a DVD of the ultrasound. While the resolution is not ideal, I feel certain that you will enjoy seeing this.

Booth

Of course I'm going to enjoy seeing it. [whispers] Oh, wow. [He stands up] Look, that's the heartbeat.

Brennan

[smiles] You're happy.

Booth

Of course I'm happy! Look at that! She kicked!

Brennan

[laughs] She has your prominent mental protuberance.

Booth

Is that a good thing?

Brennan

Yes. It's a very good thing.

Brennan

(about their living arrangement) We're still arguing about it. I want at least an acre of land, and he wants something called a man cave.

Booth

Wait, really? Really. You really want to get him involved?

Brennan

He asked a question.

Booth

Just tell him that it's crazy for him to carry a gun, that's all.

Brennan

But it is not.

Booth

It is.

Sweets

(to Brennan) Thank you.

Brennan

At the very least, he could draw fire away from you and get shot himself, which would reduce the likelihood of me becoming a single parent.

Sweets

We, we, we don't have to go through every eventuality.

Booth

You're not getting a gun.

Sweets

Then I'll make sure you don't get a man cave.

Booth

You're not going to get a gun.

Sweets

Well, then, you won't get a man cave.

Brennan

I'm not good playing with toys. What if I can't connect with our child?

Booth

Okay, you connect with me, right?

Brennan

You know I do.

Booth

Okay, our child is half of me, so at the very least, you can connect with the me half. Get it, right? Listen, you're gonna be a great mom.
