[to Brennan] Come on, now, you have partially-digested, dismembered skeletal remains to examine. That should put a smile on your face.

It's time to live a little, Temperance. Connect with other people.
Are you suggesting that I take this opportunity to have sex with Booth on a field trip?
Good God! Where's Dr. Freud when you need him?
Residual cross-section striae.
Hmm... Just because you say it in that definitive tone doesn't mean it means anything to me.
You're a smart ass, you know that?
Objectively I'd say I'm very smart, although it has nothing to do with my ass.
All I am saying is, why cut somebody into pieces?
Pack'em up tighter; maybe, say, in a suitcase.
How did a bear open a suitcase?
ZZach
I saw a documentary once where a bear got into a car and drove away.
That was not a documentary. It was a cartoon.
SSherman
Did you ever hear of the bone gatherers, collecting bones so that the dead can make their journey to the next world?
Not even sure I believe in the next world.
SSherman
Doesn't matter what you believe in. You're a bone gatherer. That's a good thing, helping the spirits move on.
Thank you. It's probably the best job description I will ever get.
Did you work all night?
Yes, I shaved the truffle.
Is that anything like spanking the monkey?
I found boring dust.
Is there any other kind?
Boring dust is produced by beetles, which means the tree the truffle grew on was infested.
That's not going to impress Toni.
That's not why I did it. I did it to serve justice and capture a murderous cannibal.
That'll impress the hot courier.
I am back in the game.
[Angela and Dr. Goodman examine a Native-American stone wheel embedded with symbols.]
This one is for spirit, the heart... this one for knowledge... and this is for courage.
So, we're looking for, maybe, a scarecrow, tin man, or a lion?
