Clark Edison quotes from Bones

Angela

Brennan didn't use binders. She could remember...

Clark

I'm not Dr. Brennan. I use binders! People like my binders!

Fisher

9/11 was a trauma to us all - not like this guy or the people who died that day. But it still changed us, right? A-and we act like it doesn't matter. Clearly Wendell is freaking out and you ... [motions to Arastoo] you went nuts earlier. The first rule of the looney bin is to get it all out in the open. So, that's what we're going to do, alright? I'll go: I was in High School. It was my Senior Year. I was [chuckles] breaking into my history teacher's desk to steal a test I hadn't studied for and he walked in. He was crying. He couldn't care less what I was doing. That's when I found out. So I ... I talked with him. I had a stolen test in my hand, and we both sat...and we cried. Next? Oh, c'mon!

Clark

I was working. It was, uh, before school - coffee shop. Everyone was just staring at the TV. No one said a word. The cook came out to watch with the rest of us. I still remember the smell of food burning on that grill.

Finn

I was nine. I got in the way of my stepfather hitting my mama... he stuck me with some scissors. My mama wanted to take me to the hospital, but my hurt didn't seem like nothin' when we heard what had happened.

Arastoo

I was at morning prayers. I didn't believe that day. I didn't believe in anything.

Fisher

Wendell?

Wendell

I was, uh, with my aunt ... from that morning until the next few days. My uncle was a firefighter in New York. He never came home.

Clark

Crime, you. Ancient history, me. Remember?

Brennan

Yes, but I would think you would want nothing more than my expertise.

Clark

And I'm well aware that you would think that. But I don't want to take you away from your murder.

Brennan

I don't believe this. I taught you.

Clark

And I'm grateful. I promise, you'll be thanked when I'm published.

Hodgins

Stepping in on the bone stuff. This could be dangerous.

Edison

Yeah, well my middle name is danger. It's actually Thomas.

Sweets

Thomas? His name is Thomas Edison.

Brennan

So you don't believe me either?

Clark

It's not about belief, it's about the evidence. You taught me that.

Clark

Dr. Brennan, I just had to say how much I appreciate how accepting you've been about me working with you on this case.

Brennan

[astonished] Yes....that is...rare for me...isn't it?

Clark

[smirks] Yes it is. And I know Pelant told you you'd never be able to catch this "Ghost Killer" without his expertise but I'm determined to prove him wrong.
