[spies Hodgins yawning] Is death getting dull to you, Dr. Hodgins?
Oh sorry, it's Michael. Apparently our baby believes that sleep is only for the weak.

[spies Hodgins yawning] Is death getting dull to you, Dr. Hodgins?
Oh sorry, it's Michael. Apparently our baby believes that sleep is only for the weak.
Look, all I'm saying is that John Wilkes Booth was secretly a member of Knights of the Golden Circle affiliated with Rome. [shrugs and smiles at Cam]
Ok...a little friendly advice. Do not mention Booth to Booth. They are related and he'll shoot you. [Hodgins turns and sees Booth and Brennan walking in]
What've we got here?
[awkwardly] Hi!
Hi.
I ran a tox screen on the ocular fluid and it came back negative, which eliminates poison as cause of death. Do you have anything?
There's a fragment of the right ninth rib with striations that are consistent with a stab wound, but there's so little evidence it would be irresponsible of me to form a conclusion at this point.
Come on. Just this once.
[wriggles under the pressure] No.
You can do it. Just say it's a stabbing.
I can't.
We'll think you're cool if you do.
Well I want to be cool, but I can't.
It's okay, honey. We still love you just the same.
[to his ex-girlfriend Lily] I'm sorry but I have to work all weekend. Yeah, this is my boss. [nods in Cam's direction] She says there's fields to plow. [Cam looks up in surprise]
Oh.
Yes. Finn has to...hitch the horses to the wagon and use that plow to....unearth the...the...he's got work.
[In Cam's office]
I may be your daughter but I'm also eighteen and that means if I can vote and go to war I can certainly choose who I date! [storms out]
[calls after her] Yeah but you can't drink! You're still not allowed to drink!
Okay, I'm no coroner, but I'm saying the cause of death was a humongous explosion.
The coroner concurs.
What kind of lunatic wants a wild animal as a pet?
I think "lunatic" pretty much describes who we're talking about.
I could call in an anonymous tip like "I hear roaring at night."
I was thinking more along the lines of looking at satellite photos on the internet and seeing if any of the farms shout "tiger."
That is brilliant.
[At the crime scene]
[about Sweets] He's going through an "early life crisis". Good luck.
Good luck??? I don't need luck. This is not about luck. [Cam looks at him] This is about a friend extending to another friend. Like an olive branch. [frustrated] Stop. Can we just stop and deal with this here, the remains...
I am starting a pool on how long Sweets lasts with Booth and Brennan. I say he's out tonight. [...] So are you in on the pool?
[...]
I give Sweets four days.
[...] So, Angie? How long do you give Sweets.
[chuckles] I say he lives with them permanently from now on.
[...]
[...] What do you mean "from now on"?
I mean for the forseeable future. They will adopt him.
I don't have a box for "infinity".
[At the Jeffersonian platform. Brennan, Cam and Fisher are observing Seth on the autopsy table being scanned.]
Are we allowed to laugh?
Ummmm...no. [looks at Brennan] What are we calling the one that's still alive?
Well, Booth calls him Michelangelo.
[...]
[looking at computer screen] Large rugged pelvis suggests the victim was a Caucasian male.
I have a large rugged pelvis? [grins] Booyah!!! [Cam smiles]
Not you. The murder victim.
[...]
Everyone here is this combo of smart and dumb.
[walks in and is surprised to see Brennan in her dance dress] This....is..a good look. You going to the hootenanny later?
Hootenanny is an informal gathering for singing and dancing. I am training for an extremely rigorous ballroom dance competition.
Ohhh...
Booth and I intend to win the rumba competition.
And catch a murderer?
Yes. Of course, that's the main objective. [dances on her way out]
[in shock] Wow.
[turns to Wendell] Just..um, go with it.
We agreed that we shouldn't get back together, but what if we're wrong?
You're grieving. You two had something alive and vibrant and now it's gone.
[...]
Have you ever seen anything come back to life and be as good as it ever was?
No.
So feel sad. Cry. You lost something wonderful, but keep moving forward. It'll get better, I promise. And, uh, stop copying Dr. Brennan. It's a little creepy.
Thank God you weren't 5 minutes later.
It's a miracle, right? Bones, she doesn't believe in God. You know? It's the only explanation, right?
Well, for some reason you got it into your head to see the woman you love.
[Cam, Brennan, Finn, and Hodgins are analyzing a teen's remains packed inside a suitcase.]
The boy didn't climb into a suitcase and throw himself off a bridge
I don't know. Could be a jackass stunt gone wrong.
You're suggesting cause of death is stupidity?
Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
