Seeley Booth quotes from Bones

Booth

I don't... I don't like people who think they're better than other people.

Brennan

Some people are better than other people.

Booth

Uh, you know what you said right there, that is so un-American. All men are created equal; either you believe that or you don't.

Brennan

Some people are smarter than others; there's no use being offended by the fact. What are we going to tell Nestor's parents?

Booth

We tell them that their son was found dead. "We're looking into it. Sorry for your loss," and we are.

Brennan

What?

Booth

Sorry for their loss. It's sad. Try to remember that.

Brennan

Uh, I'm not a sociopath.

Booth

You're bad with people, okay. No use being offended by the fact.

Brennan

You're the least objective person I have ever met.

Booth

Thank you.

Brennan

It's not a compliment.

Brennan

[after catching the head that fell from the tree] I am going to need an evidence bag!

Booth

Heads up!

Brennan

I am going to need a bigger bag.

Zack

Sometimes, when you're not busy, I wonder if I could ask you a few questions about sexual positions?

Booth

If you even try, I will take out my gun and shoot you between the eyes.

Brennan

Residual cross-section striae.

Booth

Hmm... Just because you say it in that definitive tone doesn't mean it means anything to me.

Booth

You're a smart ass, you know that?

Brennan

Objectively I'd say I'm very smart, although it has nothing to do with my ass.

Brennan

I'm afraid Angela might quit.

Booth

I'm amazed she stuck it out this long.

Brennan

Why?

Booth

Well, because she's human. I'm sorry, Bones, it's just that, you know, Angela didn't get the same training the rest of you got on Planet Vulcan.

Brennan

Do you remember me, Sean?

You're the museum lady, the one who's so smart.

Brennan

Yeah, I'm pretty smart.

[sarcastically] And modest.

Booth

Oh, believe me, she is being modest.

I've been investigated for years. Why do you think they never got me on anything?

Booth

Because you're so smart?

Because Terrence Baskin is my past. I'm one hundred percent clean now. This is my life now. This and my record label, not crystal meth... not gang-banging.

Brennan

Yet much of the iconic quality of urban music lies in the perceived or actual rivalry between the principal artists.

Where did you find her?

Booth

Museum.

Booth

Randall Hall, he's behind this. Randall Hall, okay? He killed these two people. We know it, he did it. We just can't touch him and there's no evidence linking him to the drugs, the cash or either body except for a couple of damn bone dimples.

Brennan

I'll keep looking at the remains, maybe find the evidence we need.

Booth

I can't let it stand.

Brennan

What?

Booth

You know what? I'm going to spread the pain. All right, that's my new motto.

Brennan

Wait, I can help spread pain. Wait!

Amy

Amy Morton.

Brennan

Temperance Brennan.

Amy

You work with Booth?

Brennan

Yes. I'm a forensic anthropologist.

Amy

I'm a defense lawyer; I tend to work against Booth.

Booth

If it's all the same, I'd rather you two didn't bond in any way.

Booth

Name?

Brennan

You know my name.

Booth

Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. I have to follow protocol.

Brennan

It's ridiculous.

Booth

Fine. Then we're done here. Do you want to get some coffee?

Brennan

My name is Dr. Temperance Brennan.

Booth

Reason for wanting a gun?

Brennan

To shoot people.

Booth

Not a good response.

Brennan

It's the truth.

Booth

You know, I'm writing self defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI.

Brennan

So I can shoot them.

Booth

(gives her a look but continues undeterred) Have you ever been charged with a felony?

Brennan

Charged or convicted?

Booth

Charged.

Brennan

You know I have.

Booth

I have to ask the questions.

Brennan

Bureaucratic nonsense.

Brennan

What would you usually be doing?

Booth

What?

Brennan

If it were a normal weekend.

Booth

You wanna discuss this now?

Brennan

Compared to you with your multiple sex partners.

Booth

You know, that's none of your business, okay? I'm not having sex with Amy and I've never, ever cheated on any woman that I've ever been with. Never!

Brennan

I just asked what you'd normally be doing!

Brennan

This is a personal favor you're asking.

Booth

Not for me, for Amy.

Brennan

Well, your personal favor would be for Amy but mine would be for you, strictly speaking.

Booth

Please do me a favor. (pleading with his eyes) Please.

Booth

Hey Bones, what're you doing this weekend?

Brennan

I've got plans.

Brennan

Between your girlfriend, the corporate lawyer, and the defense lawyer on the side your weekend must be completely booked. What is your thing with lawyers?
