Russ quotes from Bones

Russ

Tempy, that theory explains why Mom never came back for you during those one and a half years before she died!

Brennan

What's your excuse, Russ?

Russ

You're the one that left me! You needed someone to blame and you chose me.

Brennan

I was fifteen years old!

Russ

I was nineteen. My parents were gone. My sister hated my guts. Everyone told me that she'd be better off in foster care.

Brennan

You didn't even ask me!

Russ

I tried, Temperance. You wouldn't talk to me. You still wouldn't talk to me if Mom's bones didn't show up. And I kept trying. Every year. Every year on your birthday. You're the one that gave up. You turned your back on me and you made yourself a new family.

Brennan

Sometimes people need to explain things to me, I guess.

Russ

You have to let them talk.

Booth

[making a toast] To us.

Russ

Whoever the hell we are.

Brennan

To what we're becoming.

Booth

You licensed for this job?

Russ

You're a cop?

Booth

You know who would recognize a cop?

Russ

Other cops?

Booth

And crooks.

Brennan

I wouldn't let anyone else call you a loser, Russ. What makes you think you're allowed?

Russ

I love you, too.

Brennan

There are levels of bad guy, Russ, and you're not even on the first level.

Russ

Why do I feel like you just called me a sissy?

Max

Oh, he's a full-grown scientist?

Clark

I shave, sir. I have a driver's license. I've won a couple fist fights. I've saved a life. I've lain with women. I've been hustled at pool. I've defied my father's wishes. I have broken hearts and I have been heartbroken. So, by all the markers of this society, I am a grown man.

Max

Oh. You've "lain with women"?

Russ

Is he gonna talk like that at Dad's trial?
