Angela Montenegro quotes from Bones

Angela

Hodgins asked me out.

Brennan

Is that why you're hiding in here?

Angela

I'm not hiding. I need advice.

Brennan

What -- on a personal matter?

Angela

Yes.

Brennan

From me?

Angela

Yes.

Brennan

But romance is sort of... This is like me asking you advice on phylogenetic systematics.

Angela

Phylogenetic systematics. I have no idea what that is.

Brennan

Exactly.

Angela

How could anybody do this to themselves?

Hodgins

You know, 900 B.C., the Greek ruler Theseus had two men sit in chairs and beat each other to death for entertainment.

Hodgins

Just saying, it's nothing new.

Hodgins

I can't sleep, Angela.

Angela

I thought that they gave you something for that.

Hodgins

No, I mean I'm afraid...that if I close my eyes, when I-- when I open them I gonna be back in that car, buried, running out of air.

Angela

Okay. Then you should come home with me.

Hodgins

What?

Angela

When you open your eyes, I'll be there.

Hodgins

Yeah?

Angela

(nodding) Yeah.

Hodgins

(nodding) Okay.

Zack

(coming to realization) 6, 7, 16. Carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur on the periodic table of elements. They are buried in coal-rich soil.

Booth

You gotta narrow it down, Zack.

Angela

Keep going, Zack.

Zack

The mineral components in coal are all the same. It's the organic components that provide a unique fingerprint. They're called macerals. They fluoresce at different levels. A reflectance of 1.4 is quite rare, suggesting a high concentration of inertinite.

Booth

Zack, tell me what that means.

Angela

It means he knows where they are.

(to Angela) Hodgins seems to write everything in some kind of code. I might have to get Zack over here to break it.

Angela

It says that the traces of aluminum found on the clothing were almost certainly from the kidnapper's vehicle. Like a box. In the back of a trunk, or a van.

You can read that?

Angela

Yeah, Hodgins sends me a lot of notes.

Zack

(referring to Hodgins) You should give him a chance.

Angela

Excuse me?

Zack

I apologize. I didn't say anything.

Hodgins

(not knowing Angela is in the room) If you haven't figured out the stun-gun, then I am this week's "King of the Lab" because I found something huge.

Angela

You compete to be "King of the Lab"?

Hodgins

(surprised) No. (laughs nervously) Hey, Angela. I didn't know that you were ... this sucks. I'm gonna go catch Brennan, then bolt for the night

Angela

Did you try just dialing the number?

Booth

(agitated) I tried all the dumb guy normal stuff, okay? That's why I'm talking with the brain trust, alright? (slaps monitor with text message) Think! Eggheads, work it!

Booth

God does not make mistakes.

Angela

I don't know - putting testicles on the outside doesn't seem like such a good idea.

Booth

God doesn't make mistakes.

Angela

Mmm, I don't know. Putting testicles on the outside didn't seem like such a great idea. [Booth nods in reluctant agreement.]

Zack

Dr. Saroyan, when I get my doctorate, I'd like to work here.

[looks at Zack intently] Zack, you're an excellent scientist but an important part of the job is appearing as an expert witness in court.

Angela

Oooph.

Zack

Oooph what?

Jurors have to take you seriously and frankly, you look like a weekend fill-in at a college radio station.

Hodgins

[smiles at Zack sympathetically] Truth hurts, dude. Learn from it and grow.

Angela

Did you really call me "the heart of the operation"?

Hodgins

Yeah. That's before you called me short.

Angela

Hey, Zack called you short. I think you're just the right height.

Hodgins

Yeah?

Angela

Short men have better leverage.

Zack

I'm feeling uncomfortable.

Angela

How do you deal with the fear?

Brennan

I have this. [takes out huge gun from her purse]

Angela

Oh, my God! That thing is huge. Whoa, wow, that's like movie huge.

Booth

Where the hell did you get that?

Brennan

The mall.

Booth

[incredulously] The mall?

Brennan

Yeah. It's pretty big, right? Bigger than the one you have. [Angela chuckles]

Booth

Excuse me. It's not the size that matters. It's how you use it.

Brennan

Well, I think size is pretty important.

Booth

The point is that you shouldn't have a gun in the first place.

Angela

If you do have one, bigger is always better.

Booth

You're not helping.

Angela

Right. Yeah, this does seem like a private conversation.

Angela

I knew it was a gator. Brennan told me it was a gator. And yet ... wow.

Hodgins

Definitely confirms one thing. We have the coolest jobs ever.

Zack

How would someone eat gold?

Angela

Not eat, drink. Goldenrod.

Brennan

Goldenrod?

Angela

It's this 100 proof cinnamon schnapps that we drank in college. It's infused with real gold flakes, purely for decadence sake.

Angela

Well, it's way worse coming up. I can tell you that.
