“The Plain in the Prodigy” · Season 5, Episode 3

In this episode: Temperance Brennan (3), Seeley Booth (3), Cam (1), Clark Edison (1)

You know, when I was a kid, Bones, I always wanted to be a hobo. I wanted to ride the rails, play the guitar --

Be malnourished, riddled with preventable disease.

You know what? You could make Santa Claus cry. You really could.

Hey, you're wearing your belt buckled again! Cocky.

Yeah. Ever since the whole coma thing I just kept staring at it thinking to myself, why would I wear something like this?

Because you love it. You always have.

Yeah, that's what I landed on, Bones.

Oh, well I'm glad you did, because I like it. It's Boothy.

Boothy?

I'm more of a lab rat, Dr. Brennan. Perhaps somebody more outdoorsy would be better.

Clark, if there's spinal damage that corresponds to the compression fractures on the long bones, we could have cause of death. I need those bones. You're the most qualified. Don't scratch your neck with the gloves!

[affects a Southern accent] Well, is it all right if I get a drink of water, boss? You know, it's awful hot out there, and them tools is mighty heavy.

Of course you can get water. Why are you talking like that?

Nevermind. I'll go.

You just said you were having sex when you were sixteen.

That's different!

Oh, so there's a double standard?

Of course! You know what, Cam needs to shut that down.

I said that Michelle should wait until she's at least seventeen and a half.

Is that how old you were?

No, I was 22.

Twenty-two?! twnent--, why?

Don't -- why do you sound shocked?!

No, it's just that that's a good age. Twenty-two??

It was an important decision! I gave it a lot of thought. I finally found a man who could provide a skillful introduction.

You make it sound like it was a class that you took. You know, the first time you should be in love. You know, totally goo-goo for the other person.

Were you when you were sixteen?

Well part of me was.

MMichelle

I'm scared. Is that weird? I mean, it's just sex, right? It's all over the TV and everywhere.

Whoa, there's no such thing as 'just sex', Michelle. Every time you give a bit of yourself to the person you're with. So it's okay to wait as long as you want.

MMichelle

I don't want to lose Perry.

If Perry doesn't understand how you feel, he doesn't deserve you.

Michelle's family to me. I'm here number one uncle.

PPerry

Really? She, she didn't meantion...

I'm also a trained sniper.

PPerry

Ok, wow, oh...

Listen, Perry, all right? You're a red-blooded young man and uh, Michelle's - she's an attractive young girl. So I assume that you...

PPerry

What? No, no, no!

Because Michelle deserves your respect, you understand?

PPerry

I do! I do respect her. We were just going to the movies tonight.

All right. And if you behave anyway less than a gentleman to her, I'll find you. I think we understand each other, right?
