In this episode: Temperance Brennan (6), Seeley Booth (3), Lance Sweets (2)
I am outstanding and without peer in my field. I assume that is why your government wanted you to observe me.
[Dr. Filmore jots something down on a notebook]
What are you writing now?
Oh, just an observation that Americans are hubristic and Canadians must deal with this challenge in future cooperative interest.
Facts are not hubris, Dr. Filmore.
You know, in Canada, we have a saying: Wait your turn. If you are truly deserving, that honor will eventually come to you.
That's why I don't live in Canada.
Booth, do you think I'm being small-minded about Cam getting the award and not me?
[sighs] Huh. Yes.
What?
You might want another answer but I can't give that to you.
But I'm clearly the best scientist.
And are you the worst scientist because Cam's getting the award?
Of course not.
See? Yeah, you're just being petty because you want to win.
[protests] I thought you would take my side.
I am on your side, ok? I'm on your better side. [smirks] [Brennan frowns and breaks into a smile at Booth's smile.] Much better side.
There's a strong connection between chess and the logic and thought needed to plan and execute a murder.
Like a lot of brilliant people, Magnuson had a huge ego. Left little room for others.
Yeah, murder...such an inconvenience, right?
Booth is right. It is like the queen sacrifice Marshall used against Levitsky in 1912.
What???
He wouldn't see that coming. [looks at Brennan] How'd you know about that?
I play too, not like you, of course. I've been trying to teach Booth but he keeps referring to the knights as "horsies". [Booth covers his face with his palm in frustration]
That's great, can we just move this along. Ok, chess is a one-on-one game, but in a real war, you need a platoon and that's what we are right now, ok? So let's move out!
We have a duty to show the scientific community that the Jeffersonian is an institution where pulchritude is as abundant as brilliance.
