“Stargazer in a Puddle” quotes from Bones

Zack

Your estimate was correct. This hole is consistent with a 22-caliber slug. I learned "slug" from Cam. It's a colloquialism for projectile.

Angela

This time, Art made Science her bitch.

Angela

Hey Brennan, I'd like to ask you a favor. Well, it's not so much ask a favor as, as, as extend an honor. I mean, I hope you see it as an honor and you don't think of it as some onerous duty, which I don't think you will, but then again I've never done this before, and of course--

Brennan

Angela, just ask.

Angela

Will you be my maid of honor? [Brennan looks close to tears] At the wedding? [Brennan hugs her] Is that yes?

Brennan

I'm completely, totally honored.

Angela

Really? I thought I'd have to tell you what a maid of honor--

Brennan

I don't even care how awful the bridesmaids' dresses are. I'm so glad you asked me.

Hodgins

Those sea chimps went after that pork by-product like piranhas after a skinny-dipping missionary.

Hi Temperance, it's Mom. I don't know when or if you'll ever see this, but I hope to put it in your hands myself and see you again with my own eyes. This is a hard, hard world. Your father and I left you and Russ to save your lives. People would have killed you to get us. That's not what this is about. Today is your sixteenth birthday. I'm so sorry not to be there to tell you all the things a mother should tell her daughter when she turns sixteen, and sorry not to give you this. [holds up the ring Brennan's father gave her] It's an heirloom. And starting today, it's yours. I don't know how long it will take me to get it to you, but I promise you I will. You're going to hear a lot of things about your parents, especially your father. He is a good man. It was my insistence to leave you kids. Max would have kept us together, fought until the end. I'm not sure he'll ever forgive me for that. So please, Temperance, I need you to forgive me. And if you can't forgive me, I beg you, honey, if you can't forgive me, please forgive your father. Remember you were loved in this world, cherished. What I did to you may have been wrong, but I did it out of love. I did it out of love.

Brennan

Dad, what are you doing here?

Max

Well, I heard you were getting married.

Brennan

What? No! Angela's getting married to Hodgins, not me.

Max

Oh...uh, the bug guy... oh that's great! [Booth starts to handcuff him]

Booth

[to Max] Will you shut up, please! [catches Brennan looking at him, awkwardly to her] Uh, long enough for me to Mirandize him.

Max

[sarcastically] You got the right to remain silent....got it! [to Brennan] We'll talk more later.

Booth

[apologetically] Look, I'm sorry, Bones, but he killed the Deputy Director of the FBI. I'm just doing my job.

Could you please take down the pictures Chelsea drew? I don't want anyone to come in and just throw them away.

Brennan

You threw away your own daughter, why would I do you a favor?

[after Hodgins asks for his permission to marry Angela] You're making a huge mistake, son.

Hodgins

Marrying Angela?

No. If Angie finds out that a man – you – asked another man – me – for her hand or any of her other fine parts, horrible complications will ensue.

Hodgins

I didn't think of that.

You could get us both killed.

Hodgins

Ok...good advice. [he and Billy shake hands] You got anymore?

Always play it in the key of G demolished.

Zack

Have you been to Iraq?

Booth

That's classified information and you aren't cleared for that.

Zack

Does it hurt to get shot?

Booth

[in disbelief] What??

Zack

I've been blown up. That wasn't as bad as I expected. But I've never been shot.

Zack

Booth, is there any sense in ducking when someone shoots at you?

Booth

Your body ducks whether you want to or not. [Zack nods] Why?

Zack

[hands Booth an envelope] You can read this later then explain it to everyone.

Booth

Why me?

Zack

You know more about duty and honor than anyone else I know.
