HTHeather Taffet
You're so brilliant, Dr. Brennan. Why couldn't you find something as simple as the number?
“The Boy with the Answer” · Season 5, Episode 21
In this episode: Seeley Booth (4), Temperance Brennan (3), Caroline Julian (2), Max Keenan (1)
So, how's your girlfriend holding up?
She's fine. She's not my girlfriend.
Oh! So those looks between you --
Nothing.
Right. Hope you're more believable on the stand.
[regarding Max trying to kill Heather Taffet]
I was doing it for you.
No, I don't want you to kill people for me. Just buy me a sweater like a regular dad.
I'm tired of... all of it. I'm tired of dealing with murderers and victims and sadness and pain.
Bones, it's what we do, all right? We catch the bad people, make the world a better place.
No Booth. That's what you do. And somehow I get caught up in it.
HTHeather Taffet
[to Brennan after Taffet's conviction] This isn't over.
I have the sense that everything's changing.
Not everything. Look, we're still partners, and Taffet, she's put away. You feel good about that, right?
You almost died, Booth. That could happen again. What if next time I can't get to you?
That's not going to happen again.
[scoffs] I envy your ability to substitute optimism for reality.
You know what? Maybe you just need to take some time off. Go to a beach. Lay in the sun.
I might need more than a little time.
[shakes his head] Don't make any decisions about your future right now.
I'm just saying --
You know when a dentist gives you anesthetic and tells you not to operate any heavy machinery or make any important decisions within twenty-four hours? All right, this case was bigger than a root canal. Come on. Let's just go back inside and have one more drink. Come on, just one. [takes her hand and tries to pull her inside]
No, I'm tired, Booth. I'm going to go home. [hails a cab]
All right. Come on, let's get you in the cab. I know, it's been a long day. [Brennan gets in the cab] All right? Hey, I'll see you tomorrow, right?
[The cab pulls away from the curb, Brennan looks over her shoulder at Booth as she rides away]
You okay?
Oh, you mean because this case is a career killer? I'm cute, I can always find a job.
