Angela Montenegro quotes from Bones

Angela

Did you work all night?

Hodgins

Yes, I shaved the truffle.

Angela

Is that anything like spanking the monkey?

Hodgins

I found boring dust.

Angela

Is there any other kind?

Hodgins

Boring dust is produced by beetles, which means the tree the truffle grew on was infested.

Zack

That's not going to impress Toni.

Hodgins

That's not why I did it. I did it to serve justice and capture a murderous cannibal.

Angela

That'll impress the hot courier.

Hodgins

I am back in the game.

Dr. Goodman

This one is for spirit, the heart... this one for knowledge... and this is for courage.

Angela

So, we're looking for, maybe, a scarecrow, tin man, or a lion?

Zack

What do we talk about?

Goodman

Your work, of course.

Angela

Zack's work consists of removing flesh from corpses. Hodgins dissects bugs that have been eating people's eyeballs.

Hodgins

Leave me out of it, I am not going.

Dr. Goodman

And how do you see your job?

Angela

I draw death masks.

Goodman

Is that really how you see it?

Angela

Don't you?

Goodman

You are the best of us, Miss Montenegro! You discern humanity in the wreck of a ruined human body! You give victims back their faces! Their identities! You remind us all of why we're here in the first place! Because we treasure human life!

Goodman

Oh for God's sake.

Brennan

What happened?

Zack

Apparently, all Angela needed was to hear her job description in a deep, African-American tone.

Angela

TGIF? You've heard of that?

Brennan

Yeah, it's some kind of acronym, but my inbox is full.

Angela

We know that's not true.

Brennan

A student needs help identifying some remains, and there's a TV show that needs research. Not that they listen.

Angela

We're going.

Brennan

I really should catalog that skull. It's in the museum's exhibit on the French Revolution.

Angela

Yeah, Pepe le Pew is more important than booze and boys.

Brennan

I don't think that's his name.

Angela

We are so gonna tear it up tonight!

Brennan

That's slang, right?

Angela

Right.

(Sees the exhumed body on the lab table.) Oh god!

Angela

Don't look, sweetie.

You're not an artist. You're a freak. You're all freaks.

Angela

This job is so hard to describe online.

Booth

Why does he need a driver?

Zack

I can't drive.

Booth

You're a genius who can't drive?

Zack

If you knew what I know about structural design, you wouldn't drive either.

Hodgins

You want in on the action?

Angela

No thank you. I'm going to go have sex.

Hodgins

Have a good time.

Zack

Yeah, okay...

Zack

[excitedly] The Anthropology Journal is publishing our piece on the evolution of the Coronals suture.

Brennan

Worthy interruption.

Zack

You're supposed to bump my fist with yours.

Brennan

Why?

Zack

I'm told it's a widely acknowledged gesture of mutual success. [puts his fist down]

Angela

I love it when you two impersonate earthlings.

Hodgins

Using a refrigerator to hide a body... kinda perfect, isn't it?

Zack

A good way to remove the victim without being detected. The rubber gaskets seal in the odor.

Angela

Maybe the company should use that in their ads.

Angela

You know, you can take the day off. You deserve one day.

Brennan

Michael wanted to look at our equipment.

Angela

...I'm gonna let that one go...

Angela

[amused] Did you just give Zack and Hodgins a sign of encouragement?

Booth

You know what, that's the first time I've been able to look at them without imagining knocking their heads together.

Goodman

[smiles] Agent Booth, you're accessing your inner squint.

Angela

It's all so tragic. A cheap wedding ring sewn into his suit. Two tickets to Paris. It makes you wonder, who was the girl? Can you imagine what it was like for her, waiting and wondering, never knowing what happened?

Brennan

I don't have to imagine.

Booth

Okay, could we just stop bringing up the whole Christ myth thing? Some people believe it's more than just a myth.

Brennan

Well, who besides you?

Goodman

That would be me, Dr. Brennan. I'm a deacon at my church.

Angela

I do. Christmas and Easter, anyway.

Hodgins

Although I believe organized religion is just another political movement designed to control the masses, it doesn't mean God doesn't love me.

Zack

Hey, I'm a rational empiricist all the way, unless you talk to my mother. Then I'm Lutheran.

Angela

How am I going to enjoy this party knowing that my best friend in the whole world is in the lab, eyeball to eyeball with Skeletor?

Brennan

Who?

Zack

What's with Goodman and Hodgins?

Angela

[sighs] They're guys, they should just lay 'em out on the table and measure.

Zack

Lay what out on the table and measure?

Angela

Okay, awkward moment. Let's just say they have different approaches and they're guys.

Zack

I'm a guy.

Angela

You're...more highly evolved.

Angela

Do the names Michael Jackson or Joan Rivers mean anything to you?

Zack

One of them, the other I'll look up.
