Seeley Booth quotes from Bones

Booth

Hey, you know what? Forget about Agent Perotta. All right? Nothing is gonna change between me and you.

Brennan

Well, entropy is a natural force that pulls everything apart in a subatomic level. Everything changes.

Booth

Not everything, Bones. [pushes Brennan around on the ice, and they laugh] Not everything.

Brennan

You're gonna make me fall!

Booth

I'm never gonna make you fall. I'm always here.

Booth

You never told her [you loved her]?

I was twenty. It was hard.

Booth

I. Love. You. It's three words, really not that hard.

What, you've never loved somebody and didn't say it to 'em? (Booth is silent) See, maybe that's why I'm here: to get you to say "I love you" to somebody.

So, just to sum things up, the ship's about to explode and now there's no way to stop it.

Booth

Rub it in. I got you killed twice.

Brennan

What's wrong?

Booth

Nothing. Come on in. How about some coffee? Caribbean bean!

Brennan

You hurt your back again?

Booth

Nope. No, no, no. It's that obvious, huh?

Brennan

Your gait suggests you restrained your anterior longitudinal ligament.

Booth

Yeah, well, I blame the couch, all right? I fell asleep last night watching the game. Look, I figured you fixed my back last time. Really, I just thought that maybe you could fix it again. So use your little magic knuckles and hit it up, and we're ready to go.

Brennan

Booth, if this has become a recurring problem, you should see a specialist.

Booth

Right. I get it. All disclaimers apply. Here we go. Hit the back. Chop, chop. We've got a case!

How are you, Agent Booth?

Booth

The only reason that I am not coming in right now is because Bones told me not to, but she's your responsibility. Nothing can happen to her, okay? If anything happens to her and all that silky black hair, all that soft skin --

I will not let her out of my sight. You have my word. Now we should really get back to the case, Agent Booth.

Booth

Am I stopping you? [hangs up]

Right. I'm going to round up as many black knights as I can at Imagicon. In the mean time, please don't go out in the field without me.

Brennan

I don't need a sitter. Booth gets needlessly protective sometimes. I have no idea why.

You really don't, do you?

Brennan

No.

Brennan

Please Booth? I'm ready.

Booth

One lesson with Sweets doesn't turn you into the master interrogator.

Brennan

[to Sweets] Is master interrogator a real thing?

Sweets

Technically, no.

Booth

You gotta know exactly what you want to find out when you go in there.

Brennan

Really, if you can do it, I can.

Booth

Seriously. You think you can do anything I can do. [looks at Sweets, who says nothing]

Brennan

[confidently] Not the big, strong, sheerly physical things but otherwise, yes!

Booth

Fine. Be my guest. Be the big ch.eese. Fill the shoes.

Sweets

Take an earpiece in case you, you know, need help.

Brennan

Ok, but don't distract me unnecessarily.

Booth

This is all your fault you know that right?

Sweets

What? You're the one who said yes.

Booth

Bones you all right?

Brennan

You haven't said anything about my interrogation.

Booth

[pauses] Ok, you know what? You did great. Better than I thought.

Brennan

I was terrible. Everybody's right. I lack empathy.

Booth

You got empathy. You're awkward. That's different.

Brennan

My stuff is bones. Yours is people.

Booth

Right. So...you're admitting that I'm better at something than you are.

Brennan

No–– [pauses] [smiles] Yes. A lot better.

Booth

[smiles] Thanks Bones.

Brennan

Pregnancy is unlikely without intercourse.

Booth

Yeah, 'thanks for the tip, Bones.

Booth

You have got to be kidding me. Didn't this school ever hear of sex education?

Brennan

Well if so there's gaps in the curriculum.

Booth

That's for sure.

Booth

C'mon, Bones, you ought to take time to smell the primates!

Brennan

Why? They're malodorous and they throw their excrement.

Booth

I'm thinking the victim wandered away from his car, he was drunk, and he ended up in this area. The same thing happened to a guy last year in the giraffe section.

Brennan

Giraffes are herbivores. They don't eat people.

Booth

That part is different, but the guy broke his arm. Did you know that giraffes can weigh up to two tons?

Brennan

Yes. Everyone knows that.

Booth

And they sleep less than two hours a day.

Brennan

That I did not know.

Booth

Yes! Pinky stumps The Brain!

Brennan

No lions?

Hodgins

Not in the whole park.

Booth

There are tigers. How much difference can there be between lion urine and tiger urine?

Brennan

There are no stripes in lion urine.

Booth

You know what? You're the only smart person I really like.

Brennan

Thank you!

Brennan

You said I have a creepy mode.

Booth

I apologize, okay? I wasn't in my element.

Brennan

Every element is your element.

Booth

That's not true. We've just got to stop hanging out with geniuses, because you're going to figure out that I'm really stupid.

Brennan

What? Don't worry about that. I figured out a long time ago how stupid you are.

Booth

Hmm.

Brennan

What I just said is true and yet it really sounded wrong. What I should say is I don't care how stupid you are... That's not any better?

Booth

No. No. Not at all. That's not even relevant.

Brennan

There is intelligence, which I have, and Mr. Nigel-Murray.

Vincent

Thank you.

Brennan

And Sweets, even though his is so misdirected as to be meaningless.

Booth

Right.

Sweets

Wow, backhand full of knuckles with that compliment.

Brennan

And Hodgins, and Angela not so much, but she's very talented.

Angela

Thank you, very much.

Brennan

You're welcome. But then there's another quality, which is the ability to use intelligence. That is what you have.

Booth

Thanks, Bones.

Brennan

I know intellectually jealousy is absurd, but I see that it's real for people... I even experience it myself.

Booth

So what are you jealous of?

Brennan

Angela. Hodgins. Cam. You.

Booth

Why?

Brennan

Because you all want to lose yourself in another person. You believe that love is transcendent and eternal... I want to believe that, too.

Booth

Hey, you will... I promise. Someday you will.
