[lifts large boa constrictor from the back of a Jeep] I find it interesting that I'm only afraid of snakes when Booth is around to be jumped upon.

So, was it dangerous in Afghanistan?
No, what I did was mostly administrative.
Because you seem really very heavily armed in this photograph.
How about you? Any headhunters or cannibals?
Daisy and I were attacked by some armed guerrillas! But I beat them up and we got away.
You beat up armed guerrillas?
I had to; you weren't there to save me.
[smiles] Aw, Bones.
So you people come back from the far four corners of the Earth, out-pass the outer suburbs of Timbuktu and you solved the case in a shake?
[confused] What's a shake?
[sigh and sarcastically] Three jiffys and a cha-cha.
[moving his hands] Cha-Cha-Cha!
So what is the deal with Booth? Is it weird seeing him again?
Not at all weird; very nice.
Are there any old surges, feelings? Anything like that?
Booth fell in love in Afghanistan.
Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry.
Why? Are you in love with Booth?
A little bit, but that's not what I mean. Don't tell me that you're happy about him finding someone else.
I'm very pleased for him. A committed, romantic dyad is exactly the kind of relationship Booth seems to require to be happy.
Did you think about Booth at all while you were away?
Yes, I did. A few times I actually dreamed about him.
Oh, well there you go! Dreams are very meaningful.
I dreamed about the work we do. I dreamed about catching murderers and getting justice for people who were killed. What does that mean?
[facetiously] It means you're going to die loveless and alone.
I don't follow your reasoning.
Why do we only solve crimes when we have a dead body?
CCam
Seriously? Because I'm a pathologist and she's a forensic anthropologist. [points to herself] Fresh dead. [points to Dr. Brennan] Long time dead.
Welcome home, Bones.
Thank you. Welcome home, Booth.
If you don't mind me asking, Dr. B, why do you keep staring at the X-ray?
Because I'm suffering the nagging certainty that my eyes are seeing something which my brain refuses to process.
What happened? You're no longer in the Jeffersonian, all my interns--gone.
CCam
What happened is you put your own desires ahead of everything else when you left.
Are you angry with me?
CCam
Yes, I am angry, Dr. Brennan. We had a great thing going. You just … you let it fall apart.
(about Hannah) Is it serious between you?
Serious as a heart attack.
Heart attacks are very serious.
Yes, they are. Very serious.
Talk to me.
That is no way for an adult holding a PhD in psychology to answer the telephone.
(playing a piano) Ms. Julian? I'm on sabbatical.
Doing what, installing elevators? Because I can hear the music.
Hey, uh, Booth, can I ask you a personal question?
Oh, that depends. About you or me?
Me.
Shoot.
Okay. Daisy just wants to pick up where we left off. And I don't know whether to--
Move on?
Yeah, like you did.
You know what? You asked my opinion, right? I'm gonna give it to you. You listening? Give yourself a chance to be happy, move on.
And that worked for you?
Yeah, it did. It did.
BBooth
Ah… Look at that, huh?
Dad?
BBooth
Yeah.
Did you kill anybody?
BBooth
Why are you asking me that?
My friends always want to know. What should I tell them?
BBooth
You tell your friends that your dad does his duty the best that he knows how. Alright? Someday, me and you are gonna talk all about it, alright?
When?
BBooth
Y'know, when you're older; when you're a man.
Are you going away again?
BBooth
No. Never.
Because of me?
BBooth
Because of you. It's the best reason ever. Huh? Drink your orange juice, here we go; let's eat up. Mm?
