Did you really call me "the heart of the operation"?
Yeah. That's before you called me short.
Hey, Zack called you short. I think you're just the right height.
Yeah?
Short men have better leverage.
I'm feeling uncomfortable.

Did you really call me "the heart of the operation"?
Yeah. That's before you called me short.
Hey, Zack called you short. I think you're just the right height.
Yeah?
Short men have better leverage.
I'm feeling uncomfortable.
How do you deal with the fear?
I have this. [takes out huge gun from her purse]
Oh, my God! That thing is huge. Whoa, wow, that's like movie huge.
[Booth enters.]
Where the hell did you get that?
The mall.
[incredulously] The mall?
Yeah. It's pretty big, right? Bigger than the one you have. [Angela chuckles]
Excuse me. It's not the size that matters. It's how you use it.
Well, I think size is pretty important.
The point is that you shouldn't have a gun in the first place.
If you do have one, bigger is always better.
You're not helping.
Right. Yeah, this does seem like a private conversation.
[Brennan has just purchased a huge gun for self defense]
You know, people see you with that, the next thing you know everyone in this place is gonna start packing.
This is America. Get used to it.
What's that smell?
It's mold. It grows in the fat creases of morbidly obese people.
What is this about? Did you bring me here to make fun of me?
I merely stated a fact, Mrs. Epps. You need to lose weight. Obesity also causes diabetes, heart damage, liver failure. Not to mention the wear it puts on your joints.
I have a glandular condition. A little compassion and understanding, that's what I really need.
My doctor said most of my injuries didn't come from the explosion but from being slammed into the floor. [to Booth.] Apparently you're extremely strong.
[to Booth.] Did you have to be so rough on him?
(plaintively) It was a bomb. I was being, you know, heroic.
[after an inmate attempts to touch Brennan through the prison bars] Woah woah, woah, you stay close, ok? A lot of these animals haven't seen a real woman since Reagan was president.
