Angela Montenegro quotes from Bones

Brennan

(about her and Booth's trips) Perhaps it's all for the best.

Angela

You two at opposite ends of the world? I don't- I don't think so.

Angela

Listen, you're allowed to make life changes without, picking a fight with your old life.

Brennan

But I need a break from that life. I'm worried all the time. Worried that Booth might get hurt on a case and I couldn't prevent it, worried ... about what our, partnership means ...

Angela

So you want to get away from Booth?

Brennan

No, it's just (pauses) I just need some perspective so that I can view my life with some objectivity.

Angela

Okay, what I did was modify my mass recognition program -- patent pending -- to scan the photographic reconstruction of the crime scene, to find areas of comparatively less chaos.

Hodgins

Awesome.

(surprised) You understand what she's saying?

Hodgins

Not in the least, but I am so turned on by her brain. I'd like to see her brain totally naked.

Sweets

It's a terrible image. It's just terrible.

Angela

So what is the deal with Booth? Is it weird seeing him again?

Brennan

Not at all weird; very nice.

Angela

Are there any old surges, feelings? Anything like that?

Brennan

Booth fell in love in Afghanistan.

Angela

Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry.

Brennan

Why? Are you in love with Booth?

Angela

A little bit, but that's not what I mean. Don't tell me that you're happy about him finding someone else.

Brennan

I'm very pleased for him. A committed, romantic dyad is exactly the kind of relationship Booth seems to require to be happy.

Angela

Did you think about Booth at all while you were away?

Brennan

Yes, I did. A few times I actually dreamed about him.

Angela

Oh, well there you go! Dreams are very meaningful.

Brennan

I dreamed about the work we do. I dreamed about catching murderers and getting justice for people who were killed. What does that mean?

Angela

[facetiously] It means you're going to die loveless and alone.

Brennan

I don't follow your reasoning.

So what was it like to meet Hannah?

Brennan

Oh, she seems very pleasant and attractive. Her face fits comfortably within the Golden Ratio.

Hodgins

So you guys did math together?

Brennan

No, the Golden Ratio is a formula that determines beauty; 1 to 1.618. For instance, the width of the mouth to the width of the cheeks --

Angela

So she's hot?

Clark

I see some particulates here, Dr. Hodgins, you know, if we still care about finding what happened to these poor people.

I just assumed that when you guys got back from your trip you'd be a real couple.

Brennan

We were never a couple.

Clark

Dr. Saroyan, you assured me that you would try to keep this workplace professional.

And I will, Dr. Edison.

Angela

No, no. You were a couple, you just weren't having sex. Were you jealous?

Brennan

Of course not. I'm happy for Booth. Why would I be jealous?

Clark

Because it's obvious you and Agent Booth were attracted to each other! I mean, a blind man could see that. I just couldn't understand why you two didn't rip each other's clothes off. I mean, just get all butt naked and -- [stops in horror when he realizes what he's saying]

Angela

Sweetie, you go on this show and millions of little girls are going to look at you and say to themselves, I can be like her, a scientist, or an astronaut or a brain surgeon, blah-de-blah. You know, shoot for the stars. All that.

Brennan

Even with the "blah-de-blah" it seems very important to you.

Angela

Yeah. If I have a daughter I'm going to name her Temperance.

Brennan

You are?

Angela

[nods] I mean, we won't call her that. It's awful. Maybe it'll be her middle name but I want her to love you.

Brennan

Well, you love me.

Angela

Yes but not everyone is as willing to look as hard for your inner child as I am. And this kid is half Hodgins, remember?

Brennan

Dr. Hodgins, would you come over here and be a corpse?

Hodgins

Yeah.

Angela

[to Brennan] Sweetie, y-you do mean pretend to be a corpse, right? 'Cause the way you're holding that knife, you're looking a little slashery.

Brennan

You stayed up all night?

Angela

Yes.

Brennan

Is that good for the baby?

Angela

Well, what he doesn't know, doesn't hurt him, right?

Angela

This is incredible, I can't believe this is an actual slave ship! Where did they find it?

Brennan

Off the coast of Maryland. This could shed an enormous light on the slave trade.

Or give me nightmares, one or the another.

Daisy

Has anybody else noticed this is like a giant jigsaw without the edge pieces?

Angela

One person gets killed and it's murder. Millions get killed and it's history.

Daisy

[looks at a set of skeletal remains] I'm trying to think of them as just bones. It's easier.

Angela

Well, maybe you should talk to Sweets.

Sweets? Why would I do that?

Angela

He might be able to help you deal with Michelle.

I don't want to talk to a child about a child.

Hannah

I-I can't imagine going from being a woman to being a mom.

Booth

When Parker was born, everything changed in my life, everything.

Hodgins

Like what?

Angela

Everything. Everything means everything.

Clark

Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to spy on you two, I just -- wow, that is so amazing. You guys! [hugs them]

Angela

Thanks. Wow, that's really sweet.

Hodgins

Yeah, and weird. What is going on? It's like you've eaten the real Clark.

Clark

Change is growth, man. I just wanted to come by and tell you guys that you did a great job on the case.

Angela

Thank you.

Clark

[waves to Angela's belly] Bye!

Angela

Goodnight, Clark.

Hodgins

That's totally weird, right? And he was in the NSA, so he could be completely messing with us!

Angela

Or he's just turning into a normal guy. Don't get all paranoid on us! [laughs]

Angela

[referring to severely molded flesh] Ew and ew. What are you doing, babe?

Hodgins

I am going to shake them through these filters until they give me what I want.

Angela

You're getting that mad scientist look in your eyes.

Hodgins

I always wanted to be a mad scientist! I'm living the dream, baby! [kisses her cheek] Baby! [kisses her belly]

Angela

So what do you want our kid to be, anyway? I mean, if we could decide and make it happen without being those annoying parents that we hate.

Hodgins

Anything I want?

Angela

Anything.

Hodgins

A musician. Hard rock and 50s West Coast jazz. Who is also an astrophysicist specializing in extra terrestrial studies. Who also has a secondary degree, not necessarily a doctorate, in 20th century political theory and its relationship to corporatism. Ooh, who also does killer stand-up on the weekends. What about you? What do you want our baby to be?

Angela

[smiles] A mad scientist sounds good to me.

Angela

So this one must be a tough one, huh?

Booth

What? The case?

Angela

Valentine's Day. I mean, so soon after your breakup with Hannah.

Booth

Not really.

Angela

Really not really?

Booth

Really. Can't we just focus on the case?

Angela

No twinges at all?

Booth

It's over, okay? Hannah and I are done. I've moved on.

Angela

Okay. So what are you gonna do?

Booth

Nothing! Valentine's Day is not a holiday. It's just made up by these greeting card companies and florists.

Angela

Well, then, maybe you should find somebody else who's doing nothing so that you two can do nothing together.
