[During the wedding rehearsal inside the church]
Angie, it's just a rehearsal. You can't keep crying.
I can and I will.
[...]
[Sweets and Cam rush in with cardboard cut-outs of Park and Max to stand-in at the altar]
Can't forget the best man.
He'll be dressed on the day.
[to the vicar] My son is flying in later, so hey.
That's my dad.
Oh, I'm sorry. Am I allowed to kiss him now?
It's really just a rehearsal, Dr. Brennan, so..
Because we are sleeping together. Sleeping together is a euphemism for sex.
No. Not here. [turns to the vicar] I'm really sorry, father.
You don't have to apologize, Booth. It's not like he's gonna be jealous.
[Vicar's phone rings during the rehearsal]
[answers the call] Yes?....I do last rites but I don't do murder. [passes phone to Booth] It's for you...
[...]
[Booth and Brennan drive off to the scene of the crime.]
$25 on the wedding being canceled by lunchtime tomorrow.
Yeah, 50 bucks says it's canceled before the sun goes down.
Worst friends ever.
[later she does bet on the time]
[annoyed with Sweets] Go do something else somewhere else.
[Booth is walking to his office and is joined by Sweets]
[reading a letter from evidence off his tablet] "I see your hands and my body trembles with memory. Your touch is like coarse silk against my bare skin, pulling me ever closer..."
[looks around, embarrassed] You can't read that at my wedding! There's gonna be kids there.
No no no. It's from Angela.
Oh. Well, that figures.
It's text from the letter found on the victim.
I don't have to sleep to be more beautiful.
No. But it does help you to be pleasant.
London is a long flight, you must be tired.
I'm fine! I can't wait till Christine wakes up from her nap.
Yeah, she's sleeping, huh.
And if you have to go to work?
No! I don't have to go anywhere. I'm exactly where I want to be. Right here with my son.
Mom packed my tuxedo. That's what I'm supposed to wear, right?
Yeah! Yeah, we're gonna look like a bunch of waiters out there.
I'm glad your marrying Bones, ya know? Mom's happy for you too.
Thanks, I'm happy. I'm happy you're here. Alright? So, I have this list of things I need to get done, right?
Mhm!
I need you to make sure I don't forget.
Me?
Yeah, you. That's what the best man does. I'm asking you to be my best man.
Really!?
Alright!
Thanks, dad.
I love ya. Alright, here's what we gotta get!
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.
I know, ok, I know that, but the "real ones", they don't know me like you.
We could've done this at the bar.
Come on, Aldo. Will you just cut me some slack here?
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.
I agree.
[Booth turns around and sees 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. He still thinks I'm a priest.
[...]
[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.
[nods] Me too.
I'd like to make a toast before we go.
No no no, Pops. You do that at the rehearsal dinner, OK?
Just a little one, Shrimp. A private one. I've been waiting for this day ever since I met Tempe.
I'm doing that to him.
Then I'm going to sing a song. A little one. Actually, two.
I'm pretty hungry.
We should hurry. We don't want to be late to the dinner...
Yeah.
[jokingly looks at Max and Hank] You know what? We're getting in trouble for loving them.
Better not to listen. [turns to Booth] You're a lucky man, Shrimp. You found a woman who's willing to stand up to you and call you on your crap.
My what??
You can be stubborn and if she's willing to stick around and try to civilize you, then you better listen and make adjustments, 'cause that's love.
[...]
Seeley, what you have here is the final piece of the puzzle. It's what's going to make you whole. Tempe is the woman I always wished I could be and the one that every mother prays that her son will find.
[dramatically] Now I'm gonna cry. How can I do a speech if I'm gonna cry.
You should elope!
[groans] Ooohhhh.
What's that?
It means going to the justice of the peace to get hitched. No fuss, no bother.
Pops, forget it. I owe Bones fuss.
Eloping is romantic.
[grins] Chicks dig romantic, Dad!
That's true!
[horrified] What do you mean chicks?!
[Brennan is in Booth's office]
Look, I know what this wedding meant to you...and the flowers, and the dress...
I don't care about any of that. It's you who I'm worried about.
Me? [comes around from behind his desk to face Brennan] Why me?
The church! I know how important that is to you.
I didn't ask for that. That was your idea this time around.
Because of you!
Bones! I would wear elephant tusks on my head and have a squirrel monkey do the wedding ceremony if that's what you wanted.
You really don't care?
[shakes head, smiles] No.
[smiles] And neither do I. As long as you're there. We've waited long enough.
[as Max "hands" her to Booth] This is not one man ceremonially handing over a woman to another man as if she's property, Okay?
I worked really really hard on my vows, but now that we're here. Look, hey. Do you remember the last time that we were here? We were standing right around in this spot. It was right in the beginning before we really knew each other. I was trying to get away from you because eh... you were irritating me. And you chased me down, and you caught up to me. And you know we had been chasing each other for a long time. And we had been chasing each other through wars and serial killers and ghosts and snakes and.. and chasing you has been the smartest thing I've ever done in my life, and being chased by you, has been my greatest joy. But now... [He places the ring on her finger] We don't have to chase each other anymore. Because... we caught each other.
And Temperance, will you be speaking from your heart as well?
No, I will be speaking from my mouth.
When Hodgins and I were buried alive we each wrote a message to someone we loved in case our bodies were ever found. Hodgins wrote to Angela. [Hodgins and Angela share a smile] And I wrote to you. [She hands her flowers to Angela and takes out a note to read] 'Dear Agent Booth, you are a confusing man, you are irrational, compulsive, superstitious and exasperating. You believe in ghosts and angels, and maybe even Santa Claus. And because of you I've started to see the universe differently. How's it possible to simply look into your fine face gives me so much joy. Why does it make me so happy that every time I try to sneak a peak at you, you're already looking at me. Like you, it makes no sense. And like you, it feels right. If I ever get out of here. I will find a time and place to tell you that you make my life messy and confusing, and unfocused and irrational and wonderful.' This is that time. This is that place. [They stare at each other] Did I do that wrong?
No.
