In this episode: Seeley Booth (5), Lance Sweets (3), Temperance Brennan (2), Caroline Julian (2)
I'm a psychologist, a profiler.
You've got to be kidding. I'm working with a shrink.
I'm more than just a shrink ok? The Bureau gave me a gun. [lifts his blazer to reveal a gun] I should take the lead on questioning people. It's kinda my thing.
Just don't shoot me.
You're gonna have to justify your department's expenses at the quarterly budget review.
Me? No not me. I work in the field.
That's why you are doing it. Big burly agent like you will intimidate those pencilnecks. I'd wave your gun around a little too if I were you.
There's gotta be someone else here.
No, sorry cherie, but there is no one burlier and cuter than you.
Stop.
[...]
You just go through all the supplies we used last quarter, cost, manpower, techs and such, then estimate the cost for the coming quarter.
Supplies?
Kevlar vests, ammo, toner for the printers.
Toner?
The government doesn't function without toner, cherie.
If I get this promotion I wouldn't be in the field as much. But hey, that could be a good thing.
But you'd be behind a desk. You'd hate that.
But I would get a raise and I will love that.
A desk job? It's like caging an animal. You're meant to run free, Booth.
Sparling doesn't seem to trust how I as a psychologist perform my job.
She thinks you're an idiot?
I wouldn't say that but in layman's terms...yes.
Look, you're the psychologist. Point your little shrinky brain at her and pull the trigger.
[Booth hung up on him] Hello? Yeah? [explaining to Sparling] He usually hangs up without saying goodbye. It's our thing. It's 'cause we're close.
You said there was a casualty. Who was it?
Sweets. He'll be fine.
Sweets. That boy's got the goods. But you better not tell him I said that.
[smiles] No problem. As far as the world is concerned, you're a horrible person.
I'm sorry you're not getting the promotion.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You know, for lying to me, thank you. I mean, I know it's a white lie, but I mean look at you, being all sweet and lying to me.
I didn't want you to get the promotion?
Why? Because I'm a man of action and not someone who's going to rot behind a desk?
No, because who else will take me out into the field?
That's a good point, Bones.
But truthfully, I am sorry that you're disappointed.
I'm not disappointed.
[smiles] Because you're a man of action who would rot behind a desk?
That's right! A man of action!
Can I start buying you things now?
No, you can't, but I'll tell you what: you can buy Christine stuff.
I know you'd like a new grill.
Christine would love a new grill. She would love it.
Baby girls need new grills.
Baby girls, and a new tool set! [motions to the food] And what is this?
It's quinoa.
Quinoa?
Quinoa.
And what is that?
It's a grain. It's a lot of protein --
When I get the new grill we can grill steaks!
