[Brennan and Booth approach a darkened office building.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What goes first?
Gun goes first.
That's right.
What if you get shot?
Don't say things like that, all right? You're going to jinx me.
Well, if you're relying on superstition for safety, perhaps I should carry the gun.
[She walks up while Daisy and Cam are discussing the sculpture, and dumps a giant container of flesh-eating beetles onto it. They look at her with consternation.] I was going to say that I slipped, but I don't like to lie.
You dumped a bucket full of Dermestes beetles onto this work of art. They'll strip the flesh off our victim in no time.
[nodding] Within 30 hours. Am I fired?
Au contraire. Remind me of this moment around Christmas bonus time.
[Booth, Brennan, Cam and Hodgins look on in shock as Dr. Sweets and Daisy kiss on the forensic platform.]
I am shocked.
Yeah. They should not be doing that on the forensic platform.
That's a method of termination I've never tried. Bravo, Dr. Sweets.
They'll never work. They're, like, complete opposites.
I agree. For all her faults, she's a woman of science. Sweets bases his life on the vagaries of psychology and emotion. There's no common ground.
Right.
You need common ground. What else is there?
Absolutely.
[Booth and Brennan look at each other as Sweets and Daisy walk away together.]
[to Sweets about Daisy] She's very smart, very able and she has a knack for turning reasonable people into flaming gas balls of fury.
[Booth joins Brennan, Cam and Hodgins on the loft and watching Sweets and Daisy down below]
What's going on?
Sweets is firing Daisy for us.
We're wondering what his method will be.
He'll explain to her logically that this environment is not conducive for either her or us and as a scientist, she'll realize that he's right.
[shakes head] No, Sweets is a lot sneakier than that. He'll use some kind of psychological Jedi mind trick to make her think it was her idea to quit.
