[Booth and Brennan are faced with a suspect who is dressed as a clown]
Booth(gives handcuffs to Brennan) Just cuff the clown.
Me?
BoothGood job with the poop clues, Hodgins!
Secret is in the soil. It always is.
BoothOk, well, why don't you ask the dirt who killed him and why nobody saw it, huh?
How about an encyclopedia?? Ooh! Or..a microscope?
BoothC'mon Bones! Angela and Hodgins are having a baby, not a graduate student. I GOT IT! Uh-Huh! Stuffed animal! That's it!
How'll that benefit a child?
BoothBones, they're having a kid. His major past time is gonna be about pooping his pants, okay? Mr. Poo-poo pants!
One of my foster families..I had a..stuffed dog.
BoothAnd you liked it, right?
It frightened me actually. It was the family's pet for many years before they had it stuffed.
Booth[pause] Oh! We'll..we'll forget about the whole stuffed animal thing. I..I got it, we'll get em' one of those mobiles for the crib.
BoothHey! You got anything?
We've been checking on the hospitals and morgues for stabbing victims within a 50miles radius where Jane Doe was found, we've got nothing!
BoothYeah, well, I've got something. You know the bloody money that we found on the girl, assuming she stole it from the victim..this..[types the computer]..could be good news.
You're cute when you try to make me happy.
BoothRight..[hits one of the computer keys, image comes out in the screen] Look at that, look at all the 20 dollar bills.
[looking at the computer screen] Okay..and what's that? [pointing to another image beside the bills]
BoothI don't know what that is, we found it in her pocket. Angela's gonna reconstruct..but take a look at the serial numbers on the bills.
They're sequential. Bank robbery?
BoothNo, ATM. ATMs get sequential bills from the banks. We can trace the number to the ATM, we should be able to find our victim.
Now you're just downright handsome! [Booth smirks]
You really so damn positive you're the good guy in this?
BoothYeah. Positive as you are. Difference is, I'm right.
Do the math, Seeley. I'm doing good work.
BoothYou kill people. No judge, no jury. Just you making the call.
My conscience is clear. And since you're trying to stop me, you're playing for the wrong team.
BoothOh, you threatening me now?
Self-defense, Seeley. Sometimes, that means a very aggressive offense.
BoothYou forget who you're dealing with, Jacob?
Not for a moment. And don't you forget, you never see the bullet that takes you down.
BoothUh, how are you feeling?
Oh, boy. Like an overstuffed turkey shoved into an overhead bin of an overcrowded flight. How about you?
BoothMe? Like I'm chasing a ghost.
Booth[Applying pressure to a wounded Vincent Nigel-Murray] Open your eyes, Vincent! Stay with me!
[pleadingly] I... ple-please don't. Just don't make me go. I-I don't want to go. I love -it's been lovely. Being here with - with you.
No! You can stay here as long as you like, Vincent. You're my favorite! Everyone knows that. Right, Booth?
[Vincent's pleas stop and he goes still. Realizing there's nothing more he can do, Booth takes his hands off him.]
You have to keep the pressure on!
Booth[quietly] No, I don't, Bones.
Booth[having been woken by Brennan] What's wrong?
He kept saying 'don't make me go.'
BoothWhat?
Vincent. He was looking at me and he was saying 'don't make me leave.' [crying] He said that he loved being there. Why would he think that I'm the one making him leave? What kind of person am I?
BoothCome here. No, no, no, Bones. You got that all wrong, all right? You got it all wrong.
No. I heard him. You did, too. Don't make me leave. That's what he said.
BoothHe wasn't talking to you.
I was the only one there. And you. He wasn't -- he wasn't talking to you.
BoothI think he was talking to God. He didn't want to die.
No, Vincent was like me, Booth. He was an athiest.
BoothOkay. He was talking to the universe, then. He didn't want to go. He wasn't ready, Bones. He wanted to stay.
If there was a God then he would have let Vincent stay here with us.
BoothThat's not how it works.
We are doomed! We only needed two pins and you left them both standing!
BoothI've still got another ball.
Yeah, right. A seven-ten split.
It's highly improbable, statistically approaching the impossible.
Sometimes when you speak it's like you watch PBS on purpose.
They looked so happy.
BoothShoot yeah. They had a baby!
Their whole lives have changed. You'd think they would be a little more apprehensive.
BoothWell, you know, having a baby. That's a good thing.
You really think that?
BoothYeah, it's a great thing. Why? What? Oh, come on, Bones. The baby is fine. He's healthy. They have a healthy baby, all right? They love each other. This is the happiest day of their lives, okay? What?
I'm -- I'm pregnant. You're the father. [She watches as Booth smiles, and smiles back]
Booth[notices Brennan crying while examining a body] Everything okay, Bones?
Of course. I'm merely experiencing emotional inconsistencies due to hormones secreted during pregnancy.
Angela used to cry at the ShamWow commercial.
BoothMaybe the dead bodies are finally getting to you.
Of course not.
BoothLet me get a picture of this one. [takes out his cell phone and starts taking pictures]
[still crying] Stop it, Booth!
BoothRelax, okay? It's just -- you're normal.
I'm not normal! I'm extraordinary!
[Booth and Sweets are walking to Booth's office]
So there's no extra stress between you and Dr. Brennan because of the pregnancy?
Booth[chuckles, turns around the face Sweets] We're not gonna talk about that.
Why not? It's shrinky stuff!
Booth[smiles] We're fine. We're fine!
All right, ok, I'm not trying to be pushy here but it must be very difficult that you and Dr. Brennan haven't agreed on a living arrangement yet.
BoothOk, you know what, I've been shot at, I've been stalked, I've been kidnapped, I almost drowned, ok? I'll be able to find a place for us to live. [pats Sweets on the shoulder] So go have some coffee, all right?
Violence would be a logical extension of his belief. The Bible features a vengeful God who capriciously slaughters the creatures he creates. Sweets would characterize him as a sociopath.
BoothWait! God is not a sociopath!
Let's just say, I don't want him babysitting for our child.
BoothI just...I want our kid to know that I'm not my dad. I just want him to know that I was a good dad who gave him a real home. Our home.
Why didn't you just say that?
BoothJust didn't think you'd understand.
[shakes head incredulously] I don't. I know you're not your father.
