Seeley Booth quotes from Bones

Booth

We can have whatever life we want. You know that, right?

Brennan

[smiles] New memories, new life.

Hodgins

Dr. Brennan, are you sure you don't want a chair? The way you're squatting, I'm worried that little guy in there is going to drop right out.

Brennan

Thank you, but my uterus and cervical plug are quite healthy. Also, I'm not having a boy. It's a girl.

Booth

[smiles] A girl. [becomes alarmed] Excuse me?

Brennan

The fetus inside my womb has female genitalia.

Hodgins

You guys are having a girl? That is so awesome!

Booth

Okay, wait. Just wait one second. Can I have a word with you here? You're guessing, right? What we're having?

Brennan

No, I had an ultrasound at the doctor's this morning. Are you displeased with the results?

Booth

No, I'm thrilled, but you can't just spring something like that on me in public. Why didn't you tell me that you had a doctor's appointment?

Brennan

Ultrasounds are poorly pixelated and black and white. You only like movies that are in color.

Booth

I would have loved this movie! It would have been my favorite movie of all time!

Brennan

I had no idea that our child's genitals were so important to you.

Booth

Bones, I am the father.

Brennan

I owe you an apology.

Booth

An apology? Wait a second, is this you apologizing to me or me apologizing to you for something that I don't understand?

Brennan

I understand how upset you must have felt not to be included at the ultrasound. While I wish I could undo what I've done to you, I can't.

Booth

That's okay. An apology is enough.

Brennan

Really? Because I have more.

Booth

Oh. I'll always take more. What do you have in mind?

Brennan

Well, the doctor made me a DVD of the ultrasound. While the resolution is not ideal, I feel certain that you will enjoy seeing this.

Booth

Of course I'm going to enjoy seeing it. [whispers] Oh, wow. [He stands up] Look, that's the heartbeat.

Brennan

[smiles] You're happy.

Booth

Of course I'm happy! Look at that! She kicked!

Brennan

[laughs] She has your prominent mental protuberance.

Booth

Is that a good thing?

Brennan

Yes. It's a very good thing.

[to Booth, glances at Sweets] What's with the scrawny guy? Thought he'd be dealing with that pregnant chick who took me down. [smirks] I liked her.

Booth

You really don't wanna go down that road, buddy.

Sweets

No, you really don't. The little girl she's carrying is his daughter.

[smile fades from his face] Oh.

Brennan

(about their living arrangement) We're still arguing about it. I want at least an acre of land, and he wants something called a man cave.

Booth

Wait, really? Really. You really want to get him involved?

Brennan

He asked a question.

Booth

Just tell him that it's crazy for him to carry a gun, that's all.

Brennan

But it is not.

Booth

It is.

Sweets

(to Brennan) Thank you.

Brennan

At the very least, he could draw fire away from you and get shot himself, which would reduce the likelihood of me becoming a single parent.

Sweets

We, we, we don't have to go through every eventuality.

Booth

You're not getting a gun.

Sweets

Then I'll make sure you don't get a man cave.

Booth

You're not going to get a gun.

Sweets

Well, then, you won't get a man cave.

Brennan

I'm not good playing with toys. What if I can't connect with our child?

Booth

Okay, you connect with me, right?

Brennan

You know I do.

Booth

Okay, our child is half of me, so at the very least, you can connect with the me half. Get it, right? Listen, you're gonna be a great mom.

And I'm going to need each of you to sign a non-disclosure form before we enter.

Booth

Oh, I can't do that. I'm with the FBI. What we do is disclose.

Daisy

Well, we can always shut the building down while we wait for a warrant if that's what you'd prefer. I'm sure the press would love a story like that.

Fine.

Daisy

That was relevant, wasn't it?

Booth

I cop, you squint.

Daisy

Well, then permission to squint, Agent Booth.

Booth

Squint away.

Booth

It's not that I don't want you to carry a gun, Sweets. Do you understand that? It's just that I am concerned about your welfare!

Sweets

Yeah, 'cause you think I'm incompetent. Guess what? I aced my last practice round at the range.

Booth

That's a practice range, all right? There's a difference. But you know, when the real guns come out there's no time for thinking. It's just reaction. You understand? That's why they put people through Hogan's Alley.

Sweets

You think I'm not aware of that? [Booth gets out of the car] Oh, what, you're just gonna walk away? End of discussion?

Booth

[pokes head through the window] Perp. [points to suspect] Huh? You see what I mean Sweets? You're too busy talking.

Sweets

I'm here for my test, sir.

Sweets

What, what are you doing here?

Booth

Called in a favor. I'm running this one.

Sweets

Booth, that's not fair. You don't want me to have a gun. It's gonna affect my performance.

Booth

That's the point. You wanted to have my back. If something like this rattles you, I can't trust you. [smiles] So, ready?

Sweets

Let's rock and roll.

Booth

You really want to help? I got a great idea. What do you say we talk about something else? Let's talk about you.

Brennan

[pause] My breasts are very sore. Would you mind if I spent the evening naked?

Booth

Sure, yeah that's fine with me. No complaints here, that's great. See, now, isn't this a better conversation?

Do not talk! Not... one... word!

[regarding herself and Oliver] We did it a few times, but it didn't mean anything!

Booth

Where was your husband the night Oliver died?

Hugh wouldn't kill anyone.

I hate my job.

Brennan

Do you miss your father, Booth?

Booth

Why? He's been gone for twenty years. No.

Brennan

Are you going to open the box?

Booth

You know I don't really want to talk about this.

Brennan

But I do, and I might say the wrong thing, but for the time being we're sharing our lives and that means you can't shut me out, Booth.

Booth

What's the point? [Brennan retrieves and places the box in front of him] Seriously? Bones.

Brennan

Quantum physicists have postulated that the way we experience time is an illusion; that it doesn't happen in a linear way. That past and present, in reality, there's no difference.

Booth

Bones, what are you trying to get at?

Brennan

You do have some good memories of your father. You told me that. There was the time when the river froze and he woke you up at midnight to skating, and the time you were sweeping up at his barbershop when he put on Louis Prima and pretended that the electric razor was a microphone. And the World Series, your one perfect day together. Those good times with your dad are happening right now. They'll always be happening. You deserve to keep those alive.

Hank

Probate forms, insurance claims, pension documents, social security forms. You gotta sign these.

Me? Why do I have to sign these? I haven't seen him in twenty years

Hank

You're next of kin.

So are you, so is Jared.

Hank

Your father made you sole executor and beneficiary.

[scoffs] Huh. Beneficiary. Having him for a father wasn't exactly a benefit, Pops

Hank

Seeley...

Look, you were my father, all right? He was never there for me. You raised me, not him. He was never there. Understand? You don't have to defend him to me.

Hank

I wasn't. I was just trying to remind you that he was my son. [Booth looks up at him] Good or bad, he was my son. I gotta tell ya, I'm a little disappointed that you don't seem to see the hurt I'm feeling.

[mumbles] Sorry, Pops.

Hank

You don't think I know what it was like for you? You don't think I don't feel responsible? I raised him. Don't you feel responsible for your boy? Now, Seeley, we're family. We're gonna get through this together.

It's the giant flaw in our system: trying to make the system more secure, we make it more complex. But the more complex we make it, the more insecure we actually are.

Booth

Well, it turns out I'm not a complex guy. I'm a simple guy. And simple guys take down guys like you.

Brennan

We have a house, Booth. You found our home. [smiles]

Booth

We have a home.
