Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

I've been investigated for years. Why do you think they never got me on anything?

Booth

Because you're so smart?

Because Terrence Baskin is my past. I'm one hundred percent clean now. This is my life now. This and my record label, not crystal meth... not gang-banging.

Brennan

Yet much of the iconic quality of urban music lies in the perceived or actual rivalry between the principal artists.

Where did you find her?

Booth

Museum.

Booth

Randall Hall, he's behind this. Randall Hall, okay? He killed these two people. We know it, he did it. We just can't touch him and there's no evidence linking him to the drugs, the cash or either body except for a couple of damn bone dimples.

Brennan

I'll keep looking at the remains, maybe find the evidence we need.

Booth

I can't let it stand.

Brennan

What?

Booth

You know what? I'm going to spread the pain. All right, that's my new motto.

Brennan

Wait, I can help spread pain. Wait!

Amy

Amy Morton.

Brennan

Temperance Brennan.

Amy

You work with Booth?

Brennan

Yes. I'm a forensic anthropologist.

Amy

I'm a defense lawyer; I tend to work against Booth.

Booth

If it's all the same, I'd rather you two didn't bond in any way.

Booth

Name?

Brennan

You know my name.

Booth

Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. I have to follow protocol.

Brennan

It's ridiculous.

Booth

Fine. Then we're done here. Do you want to get some coffee?

Brennan

My name is Dr. Temperance Brennan.

Booth

Reason for wanting a gun?

Brennan

To shoot people.

Booth

Not a good response.

Brennan

It's the truth.

Booth

You know, I'm writing self defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI.

Brennan

So I can shoot them.

Booth

(gives her a look but continues undeterred) Have you ever been charged with a felony?

Brennan

Charged or convicted?

Booth

Charged.

Brennan

You know I have.

Booth

I have to ask the questions.

Brennan

Bureaucratic nonsense.

Brennan

What would you usually be doing?

Booth

What?

Brennan

If it were a normal weekend.

Booth

You wanna discuss this now?

Brennan

Compared to you with your multiple sex partners.

Booth

You know, that's none of your business, okay? I'm not having sex with Amy and I've never, ever cheated on any woman that I've ever been with. Never!

Brennan

I just asked what you'd normally be doing!

Amy

So, you seeing each other?

Brennan

Who?

Amy

You and Booth.

Brennan

No. No, we're working together.

Amy

Cause, I'm picking up a bit of a sex vibe.

Brennan

No, that's tension. (a little frustrated) He has a girlfriend.

Amy

Tall, blonde, beautiful?

Brennan

(nods) Lawyer.

Amy

Figures. Should've jumped him when I had the chance.

Brennan

You're really interested in Booth?

Amy

You aren't?

Brennan

No.

Amy

Well then why are you helping him?

Brennan

Because he asked me, he said please.

Brennan

This is a personal favor you're asking.

Booth

Not for me, for Amy.

Brennan

Well, your personal favor would be for Amy but mine would be for you, strictly speaking.

Booth

Please do me a favor. (pleading with his eyes) Please.

Booth

Hey Bones, what're you doing this weekend?

Brennan

I've got plans.

Brennan

Between your girlfriend, the corporate lawyer, and the defense lawyer on the side your weekend must be completely booked. What is your thing with lawyers?

Booth

Name of arresting officer.

Brennan

You. Special Agent Seeley Booth. Do you need me to spell that for you?

Booth

I think I can sound that out.

Brennan

So, when do I get the gun?

Booth

You can't have a gun.

Brennan

Why not?

Booth

Because you were charged with a felony.

Brennan

Write down that you were wrong to charge me.

Booth

Oh, there is no space for that.

(Wearing an open robe and boxer shorts) These are not the robes I like to wear to work, Ms. Morton.

Brennan

Sir, would you mind closing your dressing gown?

It's one in the morning. Deal with it.

Dr. Brennan, if those shadows turned out to be pieces of bone, I'd be extremely angry.

Brennan

Thank you, Judge Cohen.

For making a veiled threat?

Brennan

I thought you were threatening me because you had decided to sign the exhumation order.

Brennan

I'll ask the others but I won't order them. They might have plans.

Booth

It's Friday night and they're racing beetles.

Brennan

Are you going to arrest me for assault?

Booth

From what I saw, purely self defense.

Brennan

Maybe I shouldn't carry a gun after all.

Booth

Hell, you can have mine.

Hodgins

What did you find?

Brennan

A shard of bone. How'd they miss that?

Hodgins

They're not as good as we are.
