Um, Dr. Brennan, your book has sold over three hundred thousand copies. How do you juggle twin careers as a best-selling author and crime-fighting scientist?
Well, I do one, then the other.
“The Woman in the Car” · Season 1, Episode 11
In this episode: Temperance Brennan (6), Seeley Booth (4), Pickering (4), Zack Addy (2), Jack Hodgins (1), Angela Montenegro (1), Goodman (1)
Didn't I see you on television this morning, Dr. Brennan?
How could I possibly know what you watched on television?
Yes, that was her.
Perhaps you should work your way up to Dr. Brennan.
When was the last time you saw your husband?
My husband?
Yes.
[surprised] Oh. [laughs] Oh. [chuckles] Wow, you mean that actually took? Really, it didn't seem legal. We were in Fiji. You know, there was a fire dance. You know how those things can be, right?
I really don't, Miss Montenegro.
What I need to do here is to establish that you are not a threat to the security of this country.
I'm getting a degree in Forensic Anthropology; I'm halfway through another in Engineering. What are you afraid I will do? Build a race of criminal robots that will destroy the earth?
Do you have that kind of fantasy often?
Very often.
Does it concern you that such adolescent thoughts are a sign of emotional retardation?
I've been told. I'm working on it.
Can you understand why that concerns us?
Not really.
FBI!
SSuspect
US Marshals!
US Marshals?
Forensic anthropologist! That's why no gun.

Well, at least nobody got shot this time. (to Brennan) Probably because she didn't have a gun.
You know, if this works, I'm gonna buy you a puppy.
That would be inadvisable.
Can you tell me what you were doing in Cuba?
Only if you tell me first.
I beg your pardon?
I don't know your security clearance.
Well, what is your security clearance?
You should check with the State Department.
I'm from the State Department.
Then that should make it easy for you.
When you were in Cuba, did you meet with a man called [consults notebook] Juan Guzman?
[holds up finger, dials a number from memory] This is Dr. Brennan at the Jeffersonian; you told me to call you if anyone ever asked about...him. [In response to question] Someone from the State Department, an Agent Pickering. [she hands the phone to Pickering]
[picks up phone, annoyed] Pickering. Yes Sir, yes, I'll wait here. [hands the phone back to Brennan to hang up, looks shocked]
Any other questions?
No. No, the review has been suspended. I've been ordered to wait here until someone comes to destroy my notes.
[disgusted] Who does this? Cuts a finger off an eight-year-old boy?
Mercenaries, professionals. They don't feel a thing.
I feel things, Booth.
Never said you didn't, Bones.
I'm a "professional", too. I do better work if I only see the finger and not the child. It doesn't mean I'm like them.
Look, I know that, Bones, but what I also know is that they made a big mistake sending us that finger.
Why? Because it made you mad?
No. Because you're gonna use it to catch them. So, you gather up your squint squad. Let's get to work.
[discussing the evidence with Zack and Hodgins] Asbestos from brake-pads, leaded gasoline, mechanic bench you know ...plus the mother was electrocuted by current from a generator. We're looking for an abandoned gas station or mechanic shop off the grid. Now, you guys are geniuses! [walks away]
How do we find that?
Work for the FBI, you idiot.
Way to go, Zack. We went from geniuses to idiots in three seconds.
