Aldo quotes from Bones

Booth

I lied to the woman I love.

Aldo

That's not a quick lie from the grain, that's a whopper lie from the heart.

Booth

Right. Which makes it a sin.

Aldo

You want the truth? Go home and tell Temperance the truth.

Booth

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. [does the sign of the Cross] It's been... [downs a shot] Woah, this is definitely not the good stuff, Father.

Aldo

Don't call me "Father", Master Sergeant. I'm not a priest anymore.

Booth

I'm not in the Army anymore, so that makes us even.

Aldo

Booth loves you.

Brennan

Booth told you that?

Aldo

He confessed it to me. Not being married is a sin to him.` I'm not sure a non-believer can understand that kind of sacrifice.

Brennan

I wanted to marry him.

Aldo

Not as much as he wants to marry you.

Brennan

Booth wants to kill Pelant, which is fine. He's a very bad man, he's murdered...we don't know how many people. What if there's someone worse and we need Pelant to catch that killer?

Aldo

[rolls his eyes] Oh god... [looks at Brennan] It's these ethical dilemmas that drove me out of the priesthood.

Brennan

I need to know what Booth is going to do.

Aldo

So you can protect Pelant.

Brennan

He's more valuable alive than dead, that's all.

Aldo

It depends which Booth is there.

Brennan

[confused] Seeley Booth, the one I love.

Aldo

No, I mean, like all of us, he has two sides to him. There's one side that wants to save the world and one side that wants to take care of the people he loves. Those two collide, well, that's what you called a "tortured soul".

Brennan

There's no such thing as a soul.

Aldo

Says you, but Booth values nothing higher than his soul, yet he's willing to sacrifice his soul by killing Pelant.

Brennan

Why?

Aldo

[smirks] You, of course. It's always gonna come down to you.

Booth

You know, I just thought...look, you know, before I get married you'll be able to give me some advice here.

I'm not a priest anymore, Booth.

Booth

I know, ok, I know that, but the "real ones", they don't know me like you.

Aldo

We could've done this at the bar.

Booth

Come on, Aldo. Will you just cut me some slack here?

Aldo

Ok. I'm jealous. [Booth looks at him] What you and Temperance have, it's the reason we draw breath. You screw this up, Booth, and it'll be worse than any hell God can dream up for you.

Max

I agree.

Max

[to Aldo] I'm Max. I'm Tempe's father. [shakes hands with Aldo] This guy, he thinks I'm still a crook.

Aldo

Aldo. He still thinks I'm a priest.

Max

[to Booth] I tell you what, I've never seen anything more right. I'd be proud to call you my son. I only wish that Tempe's mother was here to watch her walk down the aisle.

Booth

[nods] Me too.

Aldo

And Temperance, will you be speaking from your heart as well?

Brennan

No, I will be speaking from my mouth.

Brennan

You can kiss me now.

Booth

Aldo didn't say that I can kiss you.

Aldo

As usual, she's right. Go.
