Temperance Brennan quotes from Bones

Brennan

You said before that Warren reminded you of me. You think I'm just like him, that he hid from life by immersing himself in a fantasy world where he fought crime. And I do the same thing, only I don't have superpowers. I... I have science.

Booth

No, Bones. You do fight crime. It's not a fantasy. As far as any normal person is concerned, you do have superpowers.

Brennan

You're just saying that to me.

Booth

No, I don't do that.

Brennan

Yes, you do. You lied to Warren Granger's mother to make her feel better. That seems to be your superpower.

Booth

Well, in your book, your partner's a former Olympic boxer who graduated from Harvard and spoke six different languages. In real life, you got me.

Brennan

So what you're saying is that reality falls far, far short of the fictional.

Booth

Yeah. Thanks a lot, Bones.

Brennan

It looks like every other house in the neighborhood.

Booth

Every family has it's secrets, Bones.

Brennan

I read a book about improving work relationships. It's not fair to expect you to tell me everything.

Booth

I appreciate the effort, Bones.

Hodgins

Field work. Cool! Do I get a gun?

Brennan

You can't arm Hodgins and not me.

Booth

What is it with you people and guns?

Hodgins

And here's the kicker. There was also evidence of genetic material from a Franklinea altamaha on his shoe.

Booth

You're kidding! I'm in shock...Frankie Alabama? You don't say.

Brennan

Did you hear what I said about sarcasm?

Hodgins

It's a rare flowering plant that hasn't been seen in the wild since 1800. The only known specimen in this area, outside of a specialized botanical garden, was given to Senator Alan Corman as a gift. Oh, I love going after senators...

Booth

Whoa, just, you know, simmer down there, Hodgins, we're gonna check out the botanical garden first.

Hodgins

(shrugs) Fine. It's at the White House.

Zack

This is the third time in a row we've investigated without Booth. I don't like it.

Brennan

Why? He mostly ignores you.

Zack

Ignoring me is Booth's way of acknowledging my presence. It's a guy thing.

Booth

The FBI doesn't have jurisdiction on a golf course.

Brennan

Well who does?

Booth

I don't know, try the PGA. You know, you've done a couple of cases without me and you miss me.

Brennan

Zack misses you, not me.

Booth

Zack and I don't even talk!

Brennan

He seems to think it's a male bonding ritual.

Booth

Maybe he's right.

Brennan

No it's not.

Booth

Could be.

Brennan

You told him that so you wouldn't have to talk to him!

Booth

Well it was nicer than shooting him!

Booth

Next time, you know, you miss me, pick up the phone, call me. We'll do lunch..or something

Brennan

*open mouthed, denying* I DO NOT miss you!

Booth

*teasing manner* Yeah..You MISS me!!Come on..

Brennan

*denying*I do not miss you!

Booth

...say it

Brennan

*defending herself* I DO NOT MISS YOU!

Brennan

Assume the victim was frozen solid when he was fed into the chipper.

Zack

No way!

Booth

[to Brennan] The correct response would be "yes way."

Brennan

Oh. [to Zack] Yes way.

Brennan

I suggest we try to match this reconstruction with escort ads, both internet and print in the D.C. area.

Zack

Oh, I'll do that!! ...Was that overly enthusiastic?

Brennan

I feel like kicking him.

Booth

That's normal after a pursuit. We try not to do that.

Booth

Hey, you know, your people are my people.

Brennan

What? I have people? Hey, I have people.

Brennan

I have trekked through Tibet, avoiding the Chinese army. I think I can handle meeting someone for dinner

Booth

Fine, you know what? You have fun with Dick431 or whatever his handle is.

Brennan

Yeah! I will!

Booth

Good!

Brennan

Thanks!

Booth

Fine!

Brennan

Good!

Booth

Did they gather all the evidence from the explosion?

Brennan

Yes.

Booth

You're sure?

Brennan

Yes. Booth, I was there. They were very thorough and I was very annoying.
