[after Booth makes him lead on the case] Wow, thank you, Booth. So does this mean that, like, I'm your boss now?
Listen, Aubrey, if you have to ask if you're my boss, you're not my boss.

Ronny is a creative guy, full of all these wild ideas. And after directing all the Snoozeland commercials, he decided he was ready for the real thing.
A real commercial?
LLinda
Movie. Said he was gonna be the next Gordon Welles.
Orson Welles?
LLinda
Sure. Whatever, I don't know about any of that stuff. All I know is: Ronny wrote himself a story, took a leave of absence from work and went off to make his movie.
Huh.
LLinda
This movie was all Ronny could think about. It was going to be his Citizen Crane.
CCam
Geez, Hodgins. You cannot just roll up on me like that.
I'm in a wheelchair, Cam. I have no choice but to roll up on you.
[Booth and Aubrey visit a set where a commercial is being filmed]
The one thing I learned about these guys, these creative types, they're definitely a breed of their own.
[...]
Oh, dear God, this is like spring break on bath salts.
KKirby
You guys are with "F.B.I"? I haven't heard of them. Are they new?
[deadpan] You haven't heard of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
KKirby
Oh, that FBI. (laughs) Bummer. I thought you guys were, like, Hollywood agents. Real agents.
We are real agents. Investigating a real murder.
I thought that I was supposed to be lead on the case, here.
I'm just trying to help.
Appreciate that, but you keep telling me where to go, what leads to follow, wouldn't even let me drive to the movie location.
You're like a turtle behind the wheel. You're like−−
What?
[grits his teeth in frustration] A turtle. We would've still been in the parking lot if you were driving, Aubrey.
We would've got there. That's my point. You know, you got to let me work my own pace, here.
Fine.
How important do you think it is for us to love what we do?
Uh, well, it, it's important, but it's not everything. Most people don't love their jobs. They don't even like them. They do them because they have to.
What if they didn't have to?
If you can afford to leave an unfulfilling job, why wouldn't you?
