Bones quotes from Bones

I've listened to you take shots at my profession, and that's okay. I'm a big boy, a tolerant man, but I want you to think about something. I spend every working hour of every day trying to help people who are living in Hell. That's an honorable way to spend a life. Perhaps more honorable than figuring out what happened to dead people who are already beyond pain and suffering.

Intentions, however misguided, do count. I understand that.

I hope you won't think I'm too picky when I point out that that wasn't an actual apology. But perhaps it's the best you can manage.

Sweets

So, I've been thinking about dead cats.

That ... doesn't seem like a good use of your time.

Booth

I don't do really good with change, I guess.

Well, you're better than I am

Booth

The pyramids are better at change than you are. …It's a joke. Hey, I was being affectionate.

Oh. [Pause] Will you go back to the army?

Booth

It's what best for me right now.

I'll only be gone for a year.

Booth

Me too. So, hey, what's a year?

It's the time it takes for the Earth to make a full revolution around the sun.

Booth

In the scheme of things. You know, the grand scheme of things. I'm just saying a year, you know, it's not too bad.

Right.

Booth

Right?

We can come back, pick up where we left off. Nothing really has to change

Booth

No, things have to change. You know what? Hey, I taught you about eye contact, you taught me about evolution. So… here's to change.

To change.

Caroline

If it's gonna be your last case together, then do it properly.

It's not our last case.

Booth

We'll be back in a year.

Caroline

Tight as a drum, that's what I want. And trust me, the way you two are running from each other, you'd better be damn sure of these little trips you're taking.

Sweets

Daisy's going to, uh, Indonesia. She doesn't really care if I go with her.

Hodgins

Ooh. Ouch!

Booth

Sweets, no offense but, you might be better off without her.

Sweets

Dr. Brennan was asked to head up the expedition, will you be better off without her?
