In this episode: Seeley Booth (5), Temperance Brennan (4), Cam (2), Jack Hodgins (1), Lance Sweets (1), Arastoo Vaziri (1), Saroyan (1)
Mr. Vaziri, do you have the x-rays?
Yes. I have never seen so many foreign objects in human remains. Arrows, marbles, jacks, various coins and cutlery. My best guess is that a nuclear explosion occurred just as the victim entered a 99 cent store.
They keep track of sexual conquests by putting stars on the wall?
It's emotionally stunted.
Guys, it's a college fraternity.
They seem like really terrible people.
They're college kids, okay? It's their job description to be bad. It's what they do.
Yeah, but still. It's a community of young men mutually supporting bad decisions.
Look, these kids, they go out into the world. They're alone, they have no supervision, they have to be bad. It's just in order to figure out what it is. It's a scientific fact that their frontal lobes are the size of raisins.
No, that is not a scientific fact.
What they've got to do is build their frontal lobes with exercise, and that comes from doing the wrong thing.
Okay, so you're theory is that they've got to be bad to be good.
Exactly. It's the facts of life, my friend. Okay, so whats transmissions did you get from the brothers?
Booth, he is not a radio.
Well, he kind of is. That's why I brought him along, Bones.
What I did observe, using my eyes and my training, is that these two frat brothers weren't actually upset about Beaver's death.
How do you know?
Well, real grief comes and goes in waves. These guys had their face set in sadness the whole time. They were lying.
I believe you're just guessing.
Okay, fine. I'm just a magic eight ball. [walks away]
I think you hurt his feelings.
[incredulous] Did you believe him?
I am saying no to this experiment.
Yeah, I got that after the part where you said no seven times in a row.
I find that you don't pay attention to the first six.
What are you going to do?
Something personal.
What is it?
Personal. Personal means personal. You know, not for the public.
I'm not the public!
Jared wants me to go to India with him.
Indiana?
India, okay? Taj Mahal, cows, tigers, cobras, Slumdog Millionaire.
I know. Are you going?
We don't like each other.
So, not going?
Well, he's my brother. I still love him.
I'm confused. You are going?
Jared should not go to India alone. He'll get in all kinds of trouble.
You said he's never been alone.
Exactly! He'll be eaten alive.
If you go with him, then he won't be alone. You won't let him be bad and his frontal lobe always be the size of a raisin. That's what you said. It makes no scientific sense.
Yeah. Got it.
Greg Harmalard? The... The guy who organized the bonfire?
Yeah, Molly's boyfriend, he's in ROTC.
They like shooting things.
So, um, do you... do you really think you have to be bad to be good?
Yeah, I do.
Well, I've never done anything "bad".
[nods] I believe you.
I mean, I've made mistakes, of course, but I've never purposely done anything bad.
And I believe you.
I don't want my frontal lobe to be a dried-up raisin.
[smiles in bemusement, grins and turns to Brennan] You know what, we're gonna do something bad now.
[mischievously] What?
[grins] Have you ever dined and dashed? You know the concept, right? We're gonna run outta here without paying the bill.
No, that's stealing.
That's why they call it bad. Are you ready...
No I can't...really? No....are you serious??? [grins excitedly as Booth prepares to run] Oh my god!
