Seeley Booth quotes from Bones

Brennan

I was thinking, Booth...since we'll be in the park, we could play tag

Booth

[looks at Brennan] Sure! Tag is fun. See, you know how to have fun! [Brennan smiles] You're not gonna catch me, though.

Brennan

I wouldn't be so sure. I am quite good at tag.

Booth

Come on. I used to be a Ranger, ok? You're never gonna catch me.

Brennan

We'll see.

Brennan

You're very set in your ways.

Booth

I'm not set in my ways. Never had been, never will be.

Brennan

Ok, I'll drive.

Booth

[stunned] I always drive.

Brennan

I know, but since you're not set in your ways, it'll be a nice change. [leaves]

Booth

[whines to himself] What'd you mean "nice change"?!! I always drive the car.

Booth

Look, what's the big deal? I know you helped put the mental part of the test together.

Sweets

Right, but that doesn't mean I can give you the answers, Booth.

Booth

I'm not looking for the answers, ok? I'm just....trying to see what kind of questions are gonna be on the test.

Sweets

The test is the day after tomorrow. Don't you feel ready?

Booth

[grins] Come on, I was born ready.

Brennan

[explaining cryonics to Booth] It's a low temperature preservation of humans with a hope that resuscitation may be possible in the future.

Booth

It's nuts, ok? When you die, it's ashes to ashes, not ashes to ice.

Brennan

We all search for immortality in our own way. It's what binds tribes and religions.

Booth

Just please tell me that...you're not gonna want me...to...freeze you.

Brennan

No. But one day you might be able to download my accumulated consciousness onto a memory chip.

Booth

[uncomfortable] Listen, let's just, you know...keep each other in here. [points to chest (heart)] That's worked just fine for a long time.

Sweets

[smirks] You're missing a good old-fashioned murder, aren't ya?

Booth

[amused] Oh come on, aren't you? We're all sitting around here hoping that someone recorded a confession in some frozen lady's head.

Booth

From a military angle, they're having me review all these shootings, they're looking at my skill sets.

Brennan

Your gut is telling you some things.

Booth

Yeah. The base over there, it's a staging ground for counter-terrorism activity and covert operations.

Brennan

You think they might be asking you to be a sniper again?

Booth

I won't do it. I have a new life, I've a family. They can't make me do that again.

Brennan

You don't have to do anything you don't want to, Booth.

Brennan

You know, I wrote seven pages on your problem-solving skills

Booth

Wow

Brennan

Which I said were excellent.

Booth

[smirks] Thanks, Bones.

Brennan

Although, I admitted to being skeptical about your reliance on your gut, but I explained it by referencing studies showing that gut instincts are merely highly developed observational powers so it's probably your eyes more than your gut.

Booth

[smiles] You know, you're amazing. You know that?

Brennan

Yeah. However, I'm not sure what exemplary quality you're referencing. My intellect, or...

Booth

Your support. Your...thanks. Thanks.

Brennan

[seriously] How could I not support you? You believed in me even when there's no tangible evidence the "Ghost Killer" existed

Booth

[smugly] Guess it was my gut.

Brennan

There was one question asking if we had a relationship outside of work, so...

Booth

You should probably just skip that one.

Brennan

Oh, um, I wrote all this. [hands Booth a file with some papers in it]

Booth

You wrote all this? [looks at file] Woah! About our sex life?

Brennan

Well...are you suggesting it isn't interesting?

Booth

[denies] No, no!

Brennan

They told me to be thorough. I also put that you never throw your socks into the hamper.

Booth

[reads file] "In case the floor is cold." [looks away awkwardly] I put the socks on so my feet stay warm. But they don't care about that!

Brennan

You sure you should be in the field, Booth?

Booth

You know, I can't not look at another operational manual or disciplinary report without shooting it.

G-Man, I could make you look fabulous.

Booth

I think you look very pretty in your dress but I prefer pants.

Hodgins

[about the exploded corpse] I mean, I gotta say, that is not a good way to loose weight.

Booth

All right, ok, save it for "squint night" at The Improv, ok, Bug Boy?

Aubrey

[discussing a suspect] He does have a record though. Two DUI's. One arrest for hunting deer without a license while intoxicated.

Booth

Great. So drunk, armed and dangerous.

Booth

Whoa, look at this place. You could perform Cirque Du Soleil in here.

Brennan

There are many possible murder weapons. Whips, chains, nipple clamps, Luna beads...

Booth

Ah, you sound excited there, Bones.

Brennan

I'm fascinated, as a scientist.

Booth

You know, I can probably get to two shades of Grey but I'm not gonna be making fifty.

Booth

Never ever underestimate a squint. I've seen them solve a crime with two fingers and a bottle cap.

Aubrey

[to himself] And I thought I was smart. [looks at Booth] I mean, I am but not that way.

Booth

Aubrey, what do you remember about your kindergarten experience?

Aubrey

[stunned with Booth's sudden change of topic] Woah, woah, you really don't trust me if my background check's going that far...
