In this episode: Vincent Nigel-Murray (5), Jack Hodgins (2), Cam (2), Temperance Brennan (1), Seeley Booth (1)
Do you consider yourself to be one of my "brighter grad students," Mr. Nigel-Murray?
Yes, and so do you, Dr. Brennan.
I am not calling this kid Mr. Nigel... anything.
Vincent. Or Vince, or Vinny, Vin... Vincenzo. Actually, uh, I had this girlfriend, once, who used to call me "Vino Delectable" because of how my -- uh, you don't... need to know that.
We already have Agent Booth to make lame jokes. Let's stick to facts.
The rods in the human eye are sensitive enough to detect the light emitted by a struck match from as much as a mile away on a clear night.
Okay, let's stick to relevant facts.
The sockets have been ground down.
Okay, that could be useful. [looks expectantly at Vincent, who smiles but says nothing] Especially if you have an explanation.
Plastic surgery. Oh, uh, she had [gestures with his hands in front of his chest] fake boobs, too.
"Sockets," "eyeballs," "boobs" -- I wouldn't use these words when conferring with Dr. Brennan.
I know. With her it's all "supraorbital nimbus" and "mammary implants." But you seemed a more colloquial sort.
Well, in that case, what about the "backbone"?
Does Brennan put "Mr." before your name?
Yes.
That's her very subtle way of saying you're not a doctor.
Can I ask you something?
Is there any way to say no?
What ever happened to whoever it was who used to work here before me?
He joined forces with a serial killer who was the last in the long line of cannibalistic murderers specializing in knocking off members of secret societies and building skeletons out of their body parts.
Wow, I hope that doesn't happen to me.
[about the victim] "He"?
Mmm-hmm. Triangular pubis, no evidence of a ventral arc. The pelvic bone speaks. It says, "I be male."
The pelvic bone can say whatever it wants to say. This part here [points in the general direction of the lower body] says female.
What part's that?
It's called a vagina.
