[finding a rare insect] Hello, my exotic princess!
CCam
What a charmingly inappropriate greeting, Dr. Hodgins.
I think he was talking to the bug.
CCam
Well, now I feel a bit... rejected.
“The Secret in the Soil” · Season 3, Episode 4

"He who smelt it, dealt it."
How do you even know that phrase?
Okay, stop. You don't know Booth. You don't know me. You have a limited view of us based on superficial data you've accumulated on a standardized questionnaire and a subjective analysis from talking to us that is not at all scientific. So back off.
Just trying to help.
By questioning his humanity?
Okay, Bones, now you're going a little bit overboard. He's just a kid, right? I mean, the worst thing that's probably ever happened to him was he lost at Mortal Kombat.
Are you normally this protective of him, Dr. Brennan?
We're partners. Our lives depend on being protective of each other.
And you feel the same way, Agent Booth?
Sweets, I can only hope that one day you know what a real partnership is.
You have a very deep connection to each other. That was obvious, even from my superficial observations and standardized questionnaire. You complement each other.
No, she never compliments me. Did you compliment me in the questionnaire?
"Complement," not "compliment." "Ple." He means that we complete each other... uh... as a team.
Yeah, right.
I'm sensing a but.
However...
Same as a but...
[doggedly continuing] I have observed some underlying issues that need to be addressed.
Issues?
Yes, there's clearly a very deep emotional attachment between you two.
We're just partners.
And why do you think I would have thought otherwise?
'Cause you're 12.
Don't read into anything that Booth said. We're professionals. There's a line that doesn't even need to be there.
Not at all. I mean, if there were no more murders, I would probably not even see her.
That's very true.
We might have coffee.
Probably not.
What, you wouldn't even have coffee with me? [He's obviously hurt, Sweets is temporarily forgotten as he and Brennan lean towards each other to finish the conversation.]
Well, in your scenario, we wouldn't even know each other, because there are no murders.
Were, I said, no more murders.
Then fine, we could have coffee. So that's the extent of our relationship, coffee?
[Solid, now that he and Brennan have talked.] So, let's move on, Sweets.
[Nods, but there's a tiny smile on his face from watching Booth and Brennan talk.]
