“The Maggots in the Meathead” · Season 6, Episode 3
In this episode: Temperance Brennan (3), Seeley Booth (1), Hannah (1)
The tox screen showed copious amounts of alcohol, over the counter stimulants, and men's beauty products.
I'm sorry, men's what now?
Hairspray, hair gel, tanning spray and some sort of aerosolized perfume.
Cologne. Men wear cologne.
You don't.
Well that's because it smells like perfume.
Eureka! A gathering of Guidos!
I was thinking I wanted to get him something when I moved in; a present, and since you know him so well --
A telephone! Get him a telephone!
I was thinking something a little more personal.
A vintage rotary phone. Booth loves them and hasn't been able to find the right one.
Really?
Yes! He's been looking. Booth says that's what a phone is supposed to be: indestructible and heavy enough to knock someone out.
[laughs] Yeah, that sounds like Seeley.
His grandfather kept his rotary phone until it fell apart. Booth loved the feel of the bakelite, the tick-tick-tick of the dial as it turned. He says the mechanics make it human.
And lucky for me, he has a partner who knows him so well.
Booth and I have become close, by necessity. Congratulations again. I'm happy for you both.
Thanks.
One thing, Hannah. I want you to be sure about this.
The phone?
No, although I understand the misunderstanding. No, about you and Booth moving in together. Booth will give himself to you completely, and it would be very painful for him if you aren't as serious about the relationship as he is.
I am, but thanks, though. You're a good friend, Temperance. Seeley is very lucky.
