[to Booth] Is she serious about the mud?
As serious as a gas attack.
Heart attack, Bones. As serious as a heart attack.
“The Man in the Mud” · Season 3, Episode 10
In this episode: Seeley Booth (7), Temperance Brennan (6), Lance Sweets (4), April (3)
What a shock for that couple. I mean, they slide naked into the hot mud bath and a skeleton hand pokes her in the, you know--
Anus.
Bones!
What? It's a clinical term for that part of the body, Booth.
Dr. Brennan, Agent Booth, would it be fair to say that you use work to avoid confronting personal issues?
Why? Because I don't wanna talk about, you know--
The anus.
You really like that word, don't you?
Do you two ever discuss anything that's not attached to work?
Well, it's better than talking about, you know--
The anus?
What is it with you two?
You know, you can play the field... and not plow it.
That was distasteful.
Doctor Sweets says that you work with tropical fish.
Yes, I lo-ove fish. They're just like people.
No, no, they're not. Actually, people can't breathe under water.
She's funny.
I am? Wha– ? Why is that funny?
I don't think she meant that literally, Bones.
Oh.
You look in their eyes and you can see their little souls. It's in every part of their coloring.
Fish don't have souls.
[obviously trying to end the conversation gracefully] April just means they're pretty.
[starting to get angry] Don't tell me what I mean, Lance. [To Brennan] What I meant was, we're all made up of the same stuff; that makes us human.
Well, on a quantum level, that's true. Although the word "stuff" is not accurate.
[To Sweets] See?
[shocked] O-okay.
He kills about a million people a night!
In a video game.
Your friend's name Garth Jodrey?
TTim
How'd you know that?
[points to the name plaque on his desk] Special Agent Seeley Booth. Special.
[about the victim] Cheated on your sister, forced you to crash. How would you exactly describe your relationship?
DDanny
[sarcastically] We were the best of friends.
Doctor Sweets says that you work with tropical fish.
Yes, I lo-ove fish. They're just like people.
No, no, they're not. Actually, people can't breathe under water.
She's funny.
I am? Wha– ? Why is that funny?
I don't think she meant that literally, Bones.
Oh.
It's their eyes. You can tell so much from eyes.
Well in humans a retinal scan is as specific as a fingerprint.
No, no, their souls. You can see their little souls.
I don't understand. You believe that fish have souls?
Yes, you can see it in their coloring. It's... it's a reflection of who they are.
Their coloring has developed over millenniums as a way to deal with predators.
[obviously trying to end the conversation gracefully] April just means they're beautiful.
[starting to get angry] Don't tell me what I mean, Lance. [To Brennan] I mean they have souls.
Okay.
No. It's just... I meant... I believe that all creatures: people, fish, dogs, we're all connected. We all share the same stuff that makes life beautiful and precious.
On a quantum levels that's true. Although the word stuff is not accurate.
See?
What? I have great respect for your fish. Admittedly, I might relate to other things more.
He kills about a thousand people a night.
Yeah, in a video game.
