Amy Morton.
Temperance Brennan.
You work with Booth?
Yes. I'm a forensic anthropologist.
I'm a defense lawyer; I tend to work against Booth.
If it's all the same, I'd rather you two didn't bond in any way.
“A Man on Death Row” · Season 1, Episode 7
In this episode: Temperance Brennan (18), Seeley Booth (16), Jack Hodgins (7), Zack Addy (5), Amy (3), Angela Montenegro (2)
(about Zack) He's weird, but he's smart.
Let's pretend we are objective scientists and not indulge in conjecture.
(Booth and Brennan are in a conference room in the FBI building, sitting across from each other. Booth is filling out a form.)
Name?
You know my name.
Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. I have to follow protocol.
It's ridiculous.
Fine. Then we're done here. Do you want to get some coffee?
My name is Dr. Temperance Brennan.
Reason for wanting a gun?
To shoot people.
Not a good response.
It's the truth.
You know, I'm writing self defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI.
So I can shoot them.
(gives her a look but continues undeterred) Have you ever been charged with a felony?
Charged or convicted?
Charged.
You know I have.
I have to ask the questions.
Bureaucratic nonsense.
(Booth and Brennan are digging in the marsh for evidence)
What would you usually be doing?
What?
If it were a normal weekend.
You wanna discuss this now?
Compared to you with your multiple sex partners.
You know, that's none of your business, okay? I'm not having sex with Amy and I've never, ever cheated on any woman that I've ever been with. Never!
I just asked what you'd normally be doing!
So, you seeing each other?
Who?
You and Booth.
No. No, we're working together.
Cause, I'm picking up a bit of a sex vibe.
No, that's tension. (a little frustrated) He has a girlfriend.
Tall, blonde, beautiful?
(nods) Lawyer.
Figures. Should've jumped him when I had the chance.
You're really interested in Booth?
You aren't?
No.
Well then why are you helping him?
Because he asked me, he said please.
This is a personal favor you're asking.
Not for me, for Amy.
Well, your personal favor would be for Amy but mine would be for you, strictly speaking.
Please do me a favor. (pleading with his eyes) Please.
(Brennan takes the file from him accepting)
Hey Bones, what're you doing this weekend?
I've got plans.
Booth': Come on, I'm serious.
Between your girlfriend, the corporate lawyer, and the defense lawyer on the side your weekend must be completely booked. What is your thing with lawyers?
Name of arresting officer.
You. Special Agent Seeley Booth. Do you need me to spell that for you?
I think I can sound that out.
So, when do I get the gun?
(Booth stamps the application form and shows it to her. It says DENIED)
You can't have a gun.
Why not?
Because you were charged with a felony.
Write down that you were wrong to charge me.
Oh, there is no space for that.
EEpps
(about death penalty) They say it's like going to sleep, but you're on fire, you're paralyzed, and you can't scream. Sometimes the scream is all you have, you know?
JCJudge Cohen
(Wearing an open robe and boxer shorts) These are not the robes I like to wear to work, Ms. Morton.
Sir, would you mind closing your dressing gown?
JCJudge Cohen
It's one in the morning. Deal with it.
JJudge
Dr. Brennan, if those shadows turned out to be pieces of bone, I'd be extremely angry.
Thank you, Judge Cohen.
JJudge
For making a veiled threat?
I thought you were threatening me because you had decided to sign the exhumation order.
(Ranting maniacally) I was out taking the pictures you needed and there was a sign and numbers on the ground and I thought, "Why assume a quasi-randomly generated function-oriented paradigm?"
Zack! When you talk that fast, human beings can't hear you.
1-2-4-0-2-5-1-0-2-2-1. That's the number they found on the victim.
You're the one with the photographic memory. I'm the one that's good with the ladies.
