Voodoo... [laughs] Who's gonna believe that stuff?
It's a religion. No crazier than... well, what are you?
Catholic.
They believe in the same saints you do. And prayer. What they call spells, you call miracles. They have priests.
We don't make zombies.
Jesus rose from the dead after three days.
Jesus is not a zombie! I shouldn't even have to tell you that.
[to Booth] You found a prosecutor to defend her? Interesting tactic.
I've told Detective Harding everything I know so far-
She's a fool!? [to Booth] You didn't tell me she's a fool!
No, she's a a brilliant forensic anthropologist.
Wa..I have three degrees. I-I've pioneered in research-
What's that? [pointing to the evidence]
A gris-gris bag, I find it in my hotel- [tries to hold evidence but Detective Harding took it away] -room. I'm assuming the person who left it there was trying to frame me, so the tooth is..probably Graham's.
Three degrees and still a fool!
I am doing you a favor taking this case, Booth. But as the lady cop says, I'm a prosecutor. And as it stands now, I could try this case in my PJs and still get a conviction.
Well, shouldn't you get to know your clients before you make snap judgments?
Why are you nice to me?
Because. Because they think they get away with it.
What?
They burn their victim. They blow him up. They toss him in the ocean. They bury him in the desert. They throw 'em to wood chippers. Sometimes, you know, years go by. They relax. Then they start living their lives like they didn't do anything wrong. Like they didn't spend somebody else's life in order to get what they got. They think they're safe from retribution. You make those bastards unsafe. That's why I'm nice to you.
I couldn't do that without you, Booth.
Yeah. So, um, you should be a little nicer to me, huh?
I really should.
And they put a forgetting spell on her!
Booth!
Hey, I can work with that. This N'awlins, baby.
[The murderer starts chanting voodoo spells. Brennan steps forward and pokes him in the eye.]
I find very few people are scary once they've been poked in the eye.
They put the voodoo on you, baby! [Brennan glares] I didn't really mean to call you baby.
It's a mojo, this one is meant to silence the dead so they can't speak.
Well usually dead people are pretty much silent on their own.
You know what? This whole state of affairs where Brennan runs around fighting crime, it's stupid. It's nuts. Don't you agree?
[...]
What is going on with her?
Angela, she started to change the day she met you.
What???
She sees how you do it. All fun and involvement and pizzazz. Big, ya know? Big life. Booth came along and gave her the opportunity but she got the idea from you. Brennan wants a big life like yours.
