The remains were found in the possession of a Norwegian Black Metal Band.
[looking at Clark] What's Black Metal?
I don't know, it's Norwegian, that's a whole different kind of black.

[looking at Clark] What's Black Metal?
I don't know, it's Norwegian, that's a whole different kind of black.
May I say, Dr. Sweets, that this is probably the best work I have ever read on the dynamics of opposite personality types working towards a common cause.
Okay, now I'm hearing a caveat.
Just a small one. It's just that Brennan and Booth aren't in any way opposites.
Wow. Small? What is that, British understatement?
Yes, he's a man. She's a woman. He's instinctual. She's empirical.
Opposites.
Superficial ephemera, Dr. Sweets.
Wow. Okay, what about the sexual component in their relationship? Would you agree that they have both sublimated their attraction to each other out of fear of endangering their working relationship, because their working relationship is paramount to both of them?
Alas, I'm afraid I wouldn't agree with that. No.
Wow. Which part?
Well everything you just said. Yes, one of them is acutely aware of their attraction. Struggles with it daily, as a matter of fact.
Wow. I'm sorry I keep saying that. Which one?
It's your book, Dr. Sweets. I would never tell you what to write.
Might I offer a word of advice regarding young Dr. Sweets?
Might I try to stop you.
Why do we need advice about Sweets?
We don't. Sweets is just fine.
He most definitely is not fine. I've read his book.
Wait, did he say something mean about us?
On the contrary. You might as well know that he lost both his adoptive parents just before he came to work for your de facto crime fighting unit.
What are we, the land of misfit toys?
He's a good lad, Sweets, but this book he's writing, he's using it as the vehicle to get what he actually wants. Which is a family.
So he imprinted on us like a baby duck?
Are you okay, Bones?
Yeah, I'm fine. Here. [Places Booth's handkerchief back in his pocket, then looks to Sweets] Why are you nodding?
Nothing. Just Wyatt made an observation about you two and I think I just saw what he saw.
Norway?
We don't have enough crucified corpses of our own, now the Vikings are sending them?
The annual murder rate in Norway is 0.7.
Less than one murder a year.
In that case, they should solve the ones they have or they'll never get any practice.
What about real names?
I imagine they play that pretty close to the vest.
Kinda ruins the magic when you find out that Satan's name is Todd or Larry.
Ok, let's shut it down guys, come on! [walks in showing his badge] FBI! Let's go! [shows the guitarist his badge]
[Guitarist spits on Booth's badge and hisses at him. Booth turns and looks at Dr. Wyatt and Brennan and then shoots the loudspeaker multiple times]
[in shock] OH!!!
[sternly to Booth] Yes, now if you recall, it was shooting inanimate objects that had you brought to me for therapy in the first place.
I thought it was a justifiable shooting.
I... agree!
She agrees. See?
[hesitantly] You gonna put your gun down?
Don't rush me, ok? [wipes his badge on guitarist's pants] I'm thinkin'!
