Parker had a nightmare.
About severed fingers?
No, it was a singing frog.
I don't see the connection. But then I'm one of those people that thinks when you dream about a banana, it's probably just a banana.
“The Finger in the Nest” · Season 4, Episode 4
In this episode: Seeley Booth (6), Temperance Brennan (4), Lance Sweets (2), Jack Hodgins (1), Parker Booth (1)
Okay, yeah, I get it. You saw a whole lady's corpse when you were a little girl and you were fine.
Yes. Although, for some reason that I do not understand, I kept staging my own death. Pretending that I drowned in the bathtub, faking electrical shock. It really freaked my parents out. And once, when Russ found me hanging, he had to go see the school psychologist.
[mildly sarcastic] But otherwise you were fine.
[earnestly] Yeah.
[to Booth, when introduced to Dr. Sweets] His face doesn't look like a baby's behind!
BBooth
[puts his hands over Parker's ears] Look, okay, he's having nightmares, he's not eating, he doesn't wanna go to school and suddenly he's afraid of meteors!
Giant flaming rocks from outer space. Who wouldn't be afraid?
[Booth walks into Brennan's office and finds her using her laptop computer while curled up on the sofa with Ripley.]
Uh, the dog should be, you know, in the cage. He killed Seth Elliot.
Well, it's not his fault! He's actually a very nice dog, [cooing to Ripley] aren't you? [to Booth] He reminds me of you.
Me?
He's got warm and reassuring brown eyes, and he's capable of great violence.
Okay, great. Thanks a million.
[Brennan and Booth have just finished burying Ripley]
On behalf of humankind and the universe, I'd like to apologize for what happened to Ripley. He was born a cute little puppy, and then the people who adopted him wanted to kill him because they were too stupid to realize that he would grow into a big dog.
That's good.
Ripley was a good dog. He didn't want to fight, but he did it to please his master. And he didn't want to attack a human being, but he did it -- to please his master. [holding back tears] You know, it wasn't Ripley's fault his master was cruel and selfish. Like all dogs, Ripley only saw the good in people. Dogs are like that. People should take a lesson.
[notices Sweets observing him] Why are you spying on me?
[facetiously] Could it be because I'm the dupe of an organ of the shadowy forces that secretly run this country?
[about Parker] I told him to walk away if it's for himself and to stand up and fight if it's for someone else.
