Brennan

Booth, I have to tell you something.

Look, alright...look Bones please. You just have to give me a little bit more time that's all, please.

Brennan

I'm not leaving you. [Booth hugs her] I have absolute faith in you. I trust you. I know you love me and Christine and I'm sorry I lost sight of that temporarily. You're a good man. You have your reasons and when you can you'll share them with me. I'm sorry.

Look, I'm sorry.

Brennan

We'll be fine. But next time it's your turn to ask me to marry you.

I will, as soon as I can, I will.

Brennan

I know. [They kiss]

I should probably leave before Booth gets home.

Brennan

Yes, you should.

Really?

Brennan

Angela, you're being very mean to him. Anger is a reasonable response.

Why aren't you mad at him? I mean he forces you to propose to him, he accepts then he changes his mind.

Brennan

He has his reasons.

Yeah? What reasons?

Brennan

I don't know.

Then why aren't you angry at him?

Brennan

I don't know why Mars lost its magnetic fields. I'm not angry at Mars. (Booth walks in as they're talking)

That's fine. I'll be angry at both Booth and Mars for you. (she turns around and notices Booth) Ooh... awkward. (to Bones) Bye, sweetie. (to Booth) Bye.

Bye. That's the best word I've heard all day.

Ya know what I'm thinking? (he smirks as she grins)

Brennan

Undercover! Buck and Wanda!

Not Buck and Wanda. This is a job for Tony and Roxy.

Brennan

Tony and Roxy! Okay! You got it, baby.

How you doin', baby?

Brennan

I have a secret I'll share!

Thank you.

Brennan

I never told you how much I hate it when you wear that beer hat in the bath. You look foolish, and sometimes it makes me think I married a child!

You kidding me, right?

Brennan

No, Tony. I ain't!

We'll talk about the hat after you lose that stupid African fertility statue out of our bedroom. Ya know, on top of that, why don't we cut off his—

[Brennan and Cam show Booth and Flynn the corpse]

Wow...that's....wow.

Brennan

[excitedly] This is actually a fascinating exercise. Did you know this is the first time I've burned human bone?

[unamused] Not the right tone, Bones.

Brennan

Oh. Yeah.

I'm not about to argue with a woman who could solve a murder using only a tooth and magnifying glass.

Brennan

I have solved a murder using only a tooth but I use significantly more sophisticated equipment than a magnifying glass...

[cuts Brennan off] I'll do exactly what you say.

[Booth is sitting next to Brennan, who is tucked in bed]

I wish the call would come in.

Brennan

We could have sex?

Huh?

Brennan

Well our bodies need to relieve tension so we can sleep.

Wow, way to take the romance out of it.

Brennan

Well, I'm just being practical. I just know I sleep best after several orgasms. (She lies down, snuggling into the duvet)

[mischievously] Well is that some kind of challenge. [Booth leans down kissing her]

Brennan

Maybe. [They kiss some more until both of their phones ring breaking them apart]

He's telling us that this is our fault.

Brennan

But it's not.

We were trying to piss him off. Well, we succeeded and we got Flynn killed!

Brennan

We did not kill Hayes Flynn, Pelant did. The only we can do is try to catch Pelant using the evidence in front of us.

What if we don't? What if this just goes on forever??

[solemnly] It won't. In fact, I almost feel sorry for Pelant.

[in disbelief] What?!

He killed someone who saved Booth's life.

Brennan

Cam's right. Booth will never give up.

[Booth and Brennan share a passionate kiss in front of his office door. Several agents turn and stare at them.]

Brennan

[in a low voice] We agreed to avoid public displays of affection at the FBI.

To hell with the FBI.

Brennan

Do you think he'll kill Pelant the next time he has a chance?

Usually I'd say no but the way Booth's turning Flynn into a saint, feels like he's working himself up for something. But Booth's a complex man. I'm not sure any of us can tell what he's really thinking deep down.

[Inside Aldo's bar]

Brennan

Booth wants to kill Pelant, which is fine. He's a very bad man, he's murdered...we don't know how many people. What if there's someone worse and we need Pelant to catch that killer?

[rolls his eyes] Oh god... [looks at Brennan] It's these ethical dilemmas that drove me out of the priesthood.

Brennan

I need to know what Booth is going to do.

So you can protect Pelant.

Brennan

He's more valuable alive than dead, that's all.

It depends which Booth is there.

Brennan

[confused] Seeley Booth, the one I love.

No, I mean, like all of us, he has two sides to him. There's one side that wants to save the world and one side that wants to take care of the people he loves. Those two collide, well, that's what you called a "tortured soul".

Brennan

There's no such thing as a soul.

Says you, but Booth values nothing higher than his soul, yet he's willing to sacrifice his soul by killing Pelant.

Brennan

Why?

[smirks] You, of course. It's always gonna come down to you.

[seriously] Look, we gotta make a deal and this deal has got to stick, all right? From now, I will do all the fighting and the shooting and the apprehending of killers, ok? You can do all the smart stuff, right? Stay in the lab, play with your bones...and all that good stuff. You know, I don't come to your lab there and play with your telescopes––

Brennan

I don't have a telescope.... [turns and looks at Booth, concerned] What's wrong?

[...]

[swallows] Look, the main reason I wanted to kill Pelant is because he kept me from marrying you.

Brennan

I thought it was something like that.

And if I told you why we couldn't get married he was gonna kill innocent people.

Brennan

You made the right choice. It's alright. [He smiles and takes her hands in his]

Bones, If I ask you to marry me, will you say yes?

Brennan

If I say yes will we get married?

Yes. [They smile at each other before kissing]

[Unbeknownst to them, Angela, Hodgins, Cam and Caroline are watching via the security camera and smiling.]

[During the wedding rehearsal inside the church]

Angie, it's just a rehearsal. You can't keep crying.

I can and I will.

[...]

[Sweets and Cam rush in with cardboard cut-outs of Park and Max to stand-in at the altar]

Can't forget the best man.

He'll be dressed on the day.

[to the vicar] My son is flying in later, so hey.

Brennan

That's my dad.

Brennan

Oh, I'm sorry. Am I allowed to kiss him now?

VVicar

It's really just a rehearsal, Dr. Brennan, so..

Brennan

Because we are sleeping together. Sleeping together is a euphemism for sex.

No. Not here. [turns to the vicar] I'm really sorry, father.

Brennan

You don't have to apologize, Booth. It's not like he's gonna be jealous.
