I don't understand. If you have a useful talent, why are you an actor?
“The Suit on the Set” · Season 7, Episode 12
In this episode: Seeley Booth (4), Temperance Brennan (3), Jack Hodgins (1), Lance Sweets (1)
That's not fair. His ooky room his ookier than mine.
[Sweets and Booth are video-conferencing. Sweets is in his office while Booth is pacing around the set and looking at all the props.]
You know, the criminal records are not surprising. The entertainment industry has its own set of norms. Not only is bad behavior rarely punished, it's often rewarded. [pauses] Wow. Why does your office look like the command center in some super villain submarine?
I guess my bubble-head bobby wasn't flashy enough.
I still think it's an excellent idea to question people there. The actors might suddenly see their fictional world as real. It might work to your advantage.

[While Booth is talking with Sweets, Blaine Conway, who portrays Andy Lister, a fictional portrayal of Booth in Brennan's book, comes from behind and tackles him. Booth instinctively and quickly subdues him.]
BBlaine
[groans] Woah. Wow. I do my own stunts but you are awesome!
[annoyed] What the hell are you doing?! I could've killed you! [pulls Blaine up by his tie] Get up!
[in disbelief after witnessing what just happened] Unbelievable! No sense of mortality at all! Completely delusional!
BBlaine
[points to screen at Sweets] Who's the big head?
It's the FBI shrink.
BBlaine
[to Sweets] I was just trying to show him how I'm gonna play Lister. I mean this guy's like Steve McQueen man. [points to Booth] I gotta do him justice!
[...]
[Blaine leaves after being questioned by Booth and exits the set doing an exaggerated impression of an FBI agent.]
[to Sweets] You see what I gotta deal with? His belt buckle says "cooky".
I can see the McQueen thing.
Yeah?
A little bit.
LLiam
Look, I would be an idiot to kill Hanson. Ok? The guy paid me buckets to write CRAP.
[offended] Hey!
Crap? You're writing my film!
LLiam
Sorry to burst your bubble but the only reason he green-lighted your film was to get into Cherie Redfern's pants. So...
[Booth looks at Brennan in dismay and surprise]
The icepal is stupid.
[to Liam, nods in agreement] Yeah, it is dumb.
So...
It is kinda dumb.
...stupid.
Looks like Mandy Oh really wanted that job.
[makes a face] Uh-oh! [laughs]
[grins] Yeah, that's funny. Mandy Oh. Right.
Hey Jocco, pal. Let's talk.
JKJocco Kent
[ignores Booth] Shooting.
[...]
I said I want to talk to you now. That means stop.
KKent
What are you gonna do? Arrest a man who's grossed a billion dollars in the last five years?
Great idea. Stand up. Put your hands behind your back. Let's go.
[Kent throws a plastic bottle at Booth and does a "kung fu" stance. Booth stares at him in bewilderment.]
Really??
KKent
Back off!
[Blaine charges Kent down and rugby tackles him from out nowhere, to the shock of the crew and Booth]
What are you doing?
BBlaine
I'm in character. I figure that's what you'd do.
[in disbelief] What???
[Booth is arresting the murderer]
BBarry
[excitedly] We just caught a murderer! We just caught a murderer! This is awesome. [Booth looks at him in bewilderment] I mean, not for you.
