Hey, Bones! Bones, Bones, just when you go over there, be nice. They're Canadians.
Are you referring to the broad generalization that Canadians are polite?
Yes, I am.
“The Feet on the Beach” · Season 6, Episode 17
In this episode: Temperance Brennan (3), Seeley Booth (3), Jack Hodgins (1), Angela Montenegro (1)
More expertise is required instead of just feet.
Yeah, gosh. You really are not going to stop until this Canadian foot guy is paralyzed from head to toe.
Would you accept an agent who specialized in murders that only occurred in February?
Okay, that's different.
Not to me.
I'm glad that you apologized to the Canadian. I'm proud of you, Bones!
I didn't apologize.
I thought --
The word apology derives from the ancient Greek apologia, which means a speech in defense. When I defended what I said to him you told me that wasn't a real apology.
Why don't you think of a word that means you feel bad for making someone else feel bad.
Contrite! From the Latin contritus, meaning crushed by a sense of sin.
There it is! Contrite! I'm happy that you contrited to the Canadian.
Right. Would you like to hear some more things that I feel contrite about?
There's more?
Yes. I feel contrite that I think your socks are silly.
What?!
Also, I am contrite in the way that I think you are foolhardy in the way that you approach a cup of coffee.
How do I approach a cup of coffee?
You drink it without checking the temperature and then you complain all day that your tongue is burnt! I feel contrite that I think that's stupid.
Let's recap: foolhardy and stupid.
There's more.
Bones, you don't have to apologize for things that you think.
Oh!
Believe me, if we had to feel sorry for every single thought...
Like what?
Oh, believe me, I'm not going to fall down that path.
Cam got her daughter into Columbia behind her back.
'Cause she didn't want her to go to that little school up in Maine.
Oh. Wow. Honey, this is bad parenting. We will never do anything like this, promise me now.
What do I do now?
You give it to Cam.
I mean, do I say anything?
No. [shakes head] It is not your business.
Can I give her a disapproving look?
[snickers] Of course! [Hodgins gives her a "disapproving look"] That's a good one.
