[referring to the corpse that is being examined] Forgive me, doctors, but...is his skin moving?
CCam
Ooh...God, that's strange.
Insect activity?
Never seen insects like that...'cept in Alien.
I'm secreting adrenaline.
“The Bones That Foam” · Season 4, Episode 16
In this episode: Temperance Brennan (4), Seeley Booth (2), Vincent Nigel-Murray (2), Jack Hodgins (1), Angela Montenegro (1), Cam (1), Lance Sweets (1)
Our foamy friend seems to be petrifying right before our very eyes.
Please Booth? I'm ready.
One lesson with Sweets doesn't turn you into the master interrogator.
[to Sweets] Is master interrogator a real thing?
Technically, no.
You gotta know exactly what you want to find out when you go in there.
Really, if you can do it, I can.
Seriously. You think you can do anything I can do. [looks at Sweets, who says nothing]
[confidently] Not the big, strong, sheerly physical things but otherwise, yes!
Fine. Be my guest. Be the big ch.eese. Fill the shoes.
Take an earpiece in case you, you know, need help.
Ok, but don't distract me unnecessarily.
[Booth and Sweets watch with dread as Brennan walks out]
This is all your fault you know that right?
What? You're the one who said yes.
I have been to 74 interrogations with Booth, 42 in the room and 32 observing.
Uh huh.
I should be able to do it.
What? Interrogate?
Yes. I even engaged in a very interesting session with Sweets to improve my ability to manipulate people.
[chuckles] Ohhh. That wouldn't work.
Why not?
Because what Booth has, you can't learn from Baby Boy Shrink. Booth's brilliant at pretending to be stupider than he actually is most of the time.
Brilliant at stupidity?
Uh-hmm. Especially around you.
[...]
Why would Booth do that?
Well, he knows that you like to be the smart one and so he lets you have that.
[...]
You know, I am smarter than Booth.
[smiles] Ok. So maybe you should just let him have the people skills part of the job to himself then.
[...]
[Brennan determines that the murder weapon is a pair of scissors]
Hey sweetie. I think you'll find that the murder weapon was a pair of tailor shears.
Why?
Why don't you run this information by Booth and see how quickly he comes to the same conclusion?
Bones you all right?
You haven't said anything about my interrogation.
[pauses] Ok, you know what? You did great. Better than I thought.
I was terrible. Everybody's right. I lack empathy.
You got empathy. You're awkward. That's different.
My stuff is bones. Yours is people.
Right. So...you're admitting that I'm better at something than you are.
No–– [pauses] [smiles] Yes. A lot better.
[smiles] Thanks Bones.
