[walks in tiredly] Ugh...
[sees Angela in her oversized outfit] Holy cow!
[sighs] I heard that.
Oh! No, no, no, no! Heh! It was, um, it was an exclamation of admiration. [clears throat, Angela smiles sarcastically] I wasn't actually --
Stop now. Save yourself.
-- commenting on your size.
[laughs upon seeing Hodgins rapidly pumping the handle to a dynamite igniter, then laughs harder when he accidentally breaks the handle] Wow. Maybe you should think of a way to get electricity that doesn't involve rare, historical items worth upwards of fifty thousand dollars.
Yeah, I'll just blame Wendell.
[smiles] Okay.
[brennan is sitting on him in the elevator fixing his back. one hand is on his knee and the other rests on his thigh.] Wow. that feels great. Ahhh it's like you're untying the knots.
It's Thai massage. It combines deep tissue with acupressure it's quite effective.
[laughing in pleasure] Yeah...Right...I can feel that [brennan moves her hand down right next to his crotch. booth laughs] Oh ho ho ho wee hee stop...you know before Sweets comes back.
Why?
Well... [indicates their...position]
Ohh I understand you think... he'll interpret our physical contact as another sign that we...
[sighs and gets up] Yeah... yeah yeah yeah...ohh but I gotta tell you my back feels... wow so much better thanks!
No problem.
Yeah...You know... I can see how Sweets could... get confused.
[realizing what he's talking about] W-we both did tell him how we felt about each other.
In the past.
[nodding] In the past...And we... both thought about it, he knows that.
It?
Sleeping together. It would be odd if we didn't.
Right uhh...so we're talking about this now?
We seem to be. [both laugh] I always assumed that we'd be very compatible. Didn't you?
Well...yeah...
Because we're both so physical.
Right...the way we throw ourselves into a case.
We both have excellent stamina. [laughs] Making love would be..quite satisfying.
Yeah...but then what? I mean...as a couple, me and you would never...
[awkwardly] No.. it wouldn't work...
So this is why you broke into the cafeteria?
Yep. I learned how to do this in grade school. I won my science fair.
Oh my God. You were that kid.
Meaning what?
The showoff.
And this is how you thank me.
This is spudtastic! Is this for the victim's cell phone?
Yeah. I'm connecting groups of potatoes in series to increase voltage, then we can connect these potatoes together in parallel to increase amperage.
Spudsational! Totally spudtacular! Can I help?
If you stop making spud jokes.
Sorry. My sincerest potatologies.
So, what do you think the chances are that me and my dad actually sat in these seats watching the game?
Hmmm. Let's see, 60,000 seats -- are you going to stop me?
No, I just like watching you do the math, that's all. I'm just glad the power's back on. These pills that I have to take, they look huge.
They're an extremely potent anti-viral. As long as you just don't skip any doses you'll be fine.
Yeah, as long as I don't choke to death. I can't get these to open.
[takes the bottle] How's your back?
It feels great since you magically fixed it.
It wasn't magic.
Well, me and you, we both have different definitions on that word.
[laughs] That's true. You think that microwave ovens are magic.
Well, I'll tell you what. Cooking a baked potato in five minutes? That's magic.
I'm just angry. I'm really angry. [sees Brennan looking at him warily] Not at you.
[sighs] Okay.
I just need time, that's all. I just need time to kind of hang back and find that inner peace before I, you know, get back out there. You know what we're talking about here, right?
Yes.
You and me, you know, and love, happiness, and life and fate.
I don't believe in fate, but I know what we're talking about. I am improving.
Improving?
Yes, I'm quite strong.
Yeah, well you've always been strong.
You know the difference between strength and imperviousness, right?
[smiles] Not if you're going to get all scientific on me.
[chuckles] Well, a substance that is impervious to damage doesn't need to be strong. When you and I met I was an impervious substance. Now I am a strong substance.
I think I know what you mean.
A time could come when you aren't angry anymore and I'm strong enough to risk losing the last of my imperviousness, maybe then we could try to be together.
[Booth explains why he wanted the row of seats] And these seats were there and you're sentimental about it.
My dad and I were there. [pauses] He quit drinking for two weeks. Long enough to remember that I was his kid. [Brennan looks at him intently] [pauses] Best day of my life.
Did you think that you could reclaim a part of that day?
It's just history, that's all. [wistfully] It's our one perfect day.
