Were you guys aware that Arastoo doesn't really have an accent?
Yeah, he does. It's thicker than Ahmed the rug merchant. Was that racist? It sounded racist.

Were you guys aware that Arastoo doesn't really have an accent?
Yeah, he does. It's thicker than Ahmed the rug merchant. Was that racist? It sounded racist.
[watches Cam walk into his office without knocking] No, no, no. You can't just walk in here!
Arastoo Vasiri, our Muslim intern, he's been faking his accent. At first I go where everyone else goes, you know? [singsong voice] Terrorist!
Wouldn't a terrorist fake not having an accent?
Is it crazy or just weird? Weird I can deal with, but crazy? [shakes head and begins to leave the office]
Wait. What do you want me to do?
Crazy's your department.
I was afraid this would come up when I heard you took Trey in for questioning.
You're right, so start talking.
I should never have made Elliot move to the suburbs. In a way, I emasculated him.
Oh, God. She's a therapist. She talks like a therapist.
[...]
Interlocking lines of persuasion between members of the collective result in multiple duplicities.
Oh, my God. She's an anthropologist. She talks like an anthropologist!
It takes a village, Bones.
I beg your pardon?
A village to raise a kid properly! It takes a village!
Metaphorically. It doesn't mean we must all grow up in hamlets of 800 people or less.
Thanks. Will you be my village?
Huh?
I need Parker to know that I lead a full and rewarding life.
But you don't.
What?? Yes, I do!
No, you don't. You work too much, you don't socialize, all which prevents you from having a sex life.
Okay, let's take a hint from the suburbs and just make it look good.
Wait, you to know if I'll help you fool your son into thinking your life is gratifying?
Yeah! Will you do it?
Well, how?
Come to dinner with us, have fun, laugh at my jokes.
That might actually turn out to be fun, thus becoming a self fulfilling desire.
Right! So, you'll do it?
Yes! I will be your hamlet of 800 people or less.
Can't you be his girlfriend?
That would be inappropriate.
Why?
Because we work together.
That's a stupid reason.
Bones, I'm really not comfortable with the questions you're asking.
Booth, could you maybe trust me for a second? Trust that I can say the right thing? In the time I've been with you I've learned a lot about how to deal with people. [looks to Parker] Your father is very, very good with people.
Then why doesn't he have a girlfriend?
And we're off! [gets a look from Brennan] Okay. All right.
Can I ask you a question? [Parker nods] Why do you think your father needs a girlfriend so much?
Bones, there's a whole gender/parent bond thing going on here. He's just going to get confused.
So I can have a pool!
He doesn't sound confused.
[Irritated without Jordanian accent] I am a scientist! Okay? Just like the rest of you. I can deal! So please just back off and let me do my job!
Wow.
[With Jordian accent] I apologize for my outburst.
Cam': Oh, you aren't even going to try to unring that bell are you?
[as he's leaving] I have to pray.
There's a guy on my street who cut his lawn on the diagonal. The neighbors got angry, someone set his garage on fire.
Well, I mean yards, sidewalks, you know, clean streets, birds flying by...
Dead body in the barbecue pit.
Oh, okay. You know what, I'm going to go talk to the neighbors, see if anyone who cut their lawn diagonally is missing.
Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait a second. You and Parker discussed my sex life?
Well, we discussed your lack of sex life.
Angela, neither you nor him, especially him, knows anything about my sex life.
Well, he knows that daddy ain't getting any, and he's concerned. He thinks you need a girlfriend... to have sex.
He said that?
Well, his exact words were, "To sex up." I think you need to talk to him honestly about your love life.
You kidding me? No offense, but I'm not talking about...
[Cam enters]
Hey...
What?
Want to run our friendly neighborhood suburbanites through the National Gun Permit Database, see if any of them own a .44? Hodgins found that in the pit. [She hands Booth the bagged bullet]
Hi, Dr. Saroyan. Do you have a boyfriend?
See? This is exactly how it started with me.
[Cam looks puzzled and amused]
[Walking to Parker] Come on. Let's go. Come on. I gotta get you back home, or your mom's gonna kill me, all right? [They turn to leave – he looks at Parker's painted face] Let me see this stuff. [To Angela] Does this stuff come off?
Oh, seriously. That's your big worry right now?
