Seeley Booth quotes from Bones

Booth

[brennan is sitting on him in the elevator fixing his back. one hand is on his knee and the other rests on his thigh.] Wow. that feels great. Ahhh it's like you're untying the knots.

Brennan

It's Thai massage. It combines deep tissue with acupressure it's quite effective.

Booth

[laughing in pleasure] Yeah...Right...I can feel that [brennan moves her hand down right next to his crotch. booth laughs] Oh ho ho ho wee hee stop...you know before Sweets comes back.

Brennan

Why?

Booth

Well... [indicates their...position]

Brennan

Ohh I understand you think... he'll interpret our physical contact as another sign that we...

Booth

[sighs and gets up] Yeah... yeah yeah yeah...ohh but I gotta tell you my back feels... wow so much better thanks!

Brennan

No problem.

Booth

Yeah...You know... I can see how Sweets could... get confused.

Brennan

[realizing what he's talking about] W-we both did tell him how we felt about each other.

Booth

In the past.

Brennan

[nodding] In the past...And we... both thought about it, he knows that.

Booth

It?

Brennan

Sleeping together. It would be odd if we didn't.

Booth

Right uhh...so we're talking about this now?

Brennan

We seem to be. [both laugh] I always assumed that we'd be very compatible. Didn't you?

Booth

Well...yeah...

Brennan

Because we're both so physical.

Booth

Right...the way we throw ourselves into a case.

Brennan

We both have excellent stamina. [laughs] Making love would be..quite satisfying.

Booth

Yeah...but then what? I mean...as a couple, me and you would never...

Brennan

[awkwardly] No.. it wouldn't work...

Booth

So, what do you think the chances are that me and my dad actually sat in these seats watching the game?

Brennan

Hmmm. Let's see, 60,000 seats -- are you going to stop me?

Booth

No, I just like watching you do the math, that's all. I'm just glad the power's back on. These pills that I have to take, they look huge.

Brennan

They're an extremely potent anti-viral. As long as you just don't skip any doses you'll be fine.

Booth

Yeah, as long as I don't choke to death. I can't get these to open.

Brennan

[takes the bottle] How's your back?

Booth

It feels great since you magically fixed it.

Brennan

It wasn't magic.

Booth

Well, me and you, we both have different definitions on that word.

Brennan

[laughs] That's true. You think that microwave ovens are magic.

Booth

Well, I'll tell you what. Cooking a baked potato in five minutes? That's magic.

Booth

I'm just angry. I'm really angry. [sees Brennan looking at him warily] Not at you.

Brennan

[sighs] Okay.

Booth

I just need time, that's all. I just need time to kind of hang back and find that inner peace before I, you know, get back out there. You know what we're talking about here, right?

Brennan

Yes.

Booth

You and me, you know, and love, happiness, and life and fate.

Brennan

I don't believe in fate, but I know what we're talking about. I am improving.

Booth

Improving?

Brennan

Yes, I'm quite strong.

Booth

Yeah, well you've always been strong.

Brennan

You know the difference between strength and imperviousness, right?

Booth

[smiles] Not if you're going to get all scientific on me.

Brennan

[chuckles] Well, a substance that is impervious to damage doesn't need to be strong. When you and I met I was an impervious substance. Now I am a strong substance.

Booth

I think I know what you mean.

Brennan

A time could come when you aren't angry anymore and I'm strong enough to risk losing the last of my imperviousness, maybe then we could try to be together.

Brennan

[Booth explains why he wanted the row of seats] And these seats were there and you're sentimental about it.

Booth

My dad and I were there. [pauses] He quit drinking for two weeks. Long enough to remember that I was his kid. [Brennan looks at him intently] [pauses] Best day of my life.

Brennan

Did you think that you could reclaim a part of that day?

Booth

It's just history, that's all. [wistfully] It's our one perfect day.

Booth

Hey, Bones! Bones, Bones, just when you go over there, be nice. They're Canadians.

Brennan

Are you referring to the broad generalization that Canadians are polite?

Booth

Yes, I am.

Brennan

More expertise is required instead of just feet.

Booth

Yeah, gosh. You really are not going to stop until this Canadian foot guy is paralyzed from head to toe.

Brennan

Would you accept an agent who specialized in murders that only occurred in February?

Booth

Okay, that's different.

Brennan

Not to me.

Booth

I'm glad that you apologized to the Canadian. I'm proud of you, Bones!

Brennan

I didn't apologize.

Booth

I thought --

Brennan

The word apology derives from the ancient Greek apologia, which means a speech in defense. When I defended what I said to him you told me that wasn't a real apology.

Booth

Why don't you think of a word that means you feel bad for making someone else feel bad.

Brennan

Contrite! From the Latin contritus, meaning crushed by a sense of sin.

Booth

There it is! Contrite! I'm happy that you contrited to the Canadian.

Brennan

Right. Would you like to hear some more things that I feel contrite about?

Booth

There's more?

Brennan

Yes. I feel contrite that I think your socks are silly.

Booth

What?!

Brennan

Also, I am contrite in the way that I think you are foolhardy in the way that you approach a cup of coffee.

Booth

How do I approach a cup of coffee?

Brennan

You drink it without checking the temperature and then you complain all day that your tongue is burnt! I feel contrite that I think that's stupid.

Booth

Let's recap: foolhardy and stupid.

Brennan

There's more.

Booth

Bones, you don't have to apologize for things that you think.

Brennan

Oh!

Booth

Believe me, if we had to feel sorry for every single thought...

Brennan

Like what?

Booth

Oh, believe me, I'm not going to fall down that path.

Booth

Do you even own a TV?

Brennan

Of course! It's in the closet.

Booth

[looks at a laughing Brennan] Now what?

Brennan

Perhaps you could see your dark side if you mooned a mirror. [laughs] Because "moon" is a term that refers to exposing --

Booth

I know.

Brennan

Get it? It's pretty clever, right?

Booth

It's clever. I'd laugh, but I'm afraid of driving off the road.

Brennan

I understand.

Booth

Yeah, right? [smiles]

Brennan

Safety first. I understand. [laughs]

Booth

Bones, at any time did you think that the chupacabra was real?

Brennan

[laughs] No.

Booth

Then why did you believe that I saw the Yeti in Nepal?

Brennan

Because what I said you saw was totally rational.

Booth

I never saw it. You see, what you did was rationally explain something that never happened.

Brennan

You never saw the Yeti?

Booth

Or did I?

Brennan

No, you didn't! You did? Are you trying to confuse me?

Booth

I might be!

Brennan

Okay, what is your point?

Booth

That things are confusing. Just because you can explain something doesn't mean that it's explainable.

Brennan

You mean explicable?

Booth

Sure, like us. We don't make any sense at all.

Brennan

[chuckles] Don't be ridiculous. Yetis don't exist.

Booth

I was in Nepal. Rangers have a secure training base there. I was doing field exercises, about to rendezvous with my platoon and I saw it. About 30, 35 feet in front of me.

Brennan

You were in the snow and in unfamiliar terrain, alone. Hallucinations are common.

Booth

It was over ten feet tall, it was huge. I looked straight in its eyes, pointed my rifle at it and it ran. This was no hallucination.

Brennan

Booth, I'm sure you thought––

Booth

[cuts Brennan off] Hey, why don't you just trust me here? Why can't you just use that brilliant scientific mind of yours and at least admit the possibility of what I'm saying here is true.

Brennan

You––you serious?

Booth

[resignedly] Just forget it. You know, you talk really good game, Bones, but when it comes down to it you're no different than people who were certain that the sun revolved around the earth.

Brennan

[protests] That's not true.

Booth

Hmm.

Booth

Can I see your hands?

My hands?

Booth

[irritated] Yeah, you know, the things under your arms there. [raises his hands] Your hands?

Walter

Uh, pudge here is a..blind at one eye. [referring to person in the video]

Brennan

[surprised] How can you tell?

Walter

Oh, it's the way he holds that scrap, or whatever it is to the light.

Booth

'Whatever it is' is a map...

Brennan

[correcting Booth] It's a chart fragment, Mr Sherman.

Walter

Oh, uh, please...call me Walter. [smiles at Brennan, Brennan smiles back]

Booth

Seriously? Focus, can we? Thank you. Really? [gesturing and giving a look at Walter]

Walter

[looks at Booth and looks back at Brennan] Are you two sleeping together?

Brennan

[chuckles] No! [looks at Booth]

Booth

No.

Walter

[to Brennan] Would you sleep with me? [Brennan looks at Walter shocked and amused]

Booth

[to Walter] You know what, you find the map, maybe you get a shot.[Brennan smacks Booth's arm] What? [mutters 'sorry' to Brennan]

Brennan

[rising to leave, talking to Walter] Uh..can I get your cell number, please?

Walter

What? No! [panicking] Who..who told you to get my cellphone number?

Booth

Oh, oh...just relax, don't be paranoid.

Brennan

In case, I obtained any..helpful informations from the victim's remains back in D.C.

[chuckling] Wh-What exactly you'd expect to find from a cracked-up bag of old bones?

Booth

Oh look, Bones has her thing, just like Walter here, alright? [leaving with Brennan]

Brennan

Except my thing is real, not some imaginary finder power! [gesturing mockingly]

Booth

Oh! [laughs]

Walter

My work's done. [passes receipts to Booth]

Booth

What's this?

Walter

Itemized invoice from my expenses, mostly fuel for Ike flying me back and forth.

Brennan

But we haven't solve the murder!

Booth

Yes, two murders.

Brennan

Two murders! We haven't solve two murders!

Walter

You hired me to find the missing chart fragment. Eureka! Ta-daa! Bingo! Mission accomplished, [gesturing to the map] I found it.

Ah, technically, I found it..in her throat

Walter

Britney's body was submerged under 80 feet of water in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, I brought her here to you..I..pretty sure that's the impressive part. [leaves]

Brennan

That's true. If it weren't for Walter, her remains will never be discovered.

Booth

[gives a look at Brennan] Seriously?
